FIRE LAST THURSDAY NIGHT.
Hotel Carolina Destroyed Good Work
OF fiFemen Saved Near by
Buildings ii

Last InufSday nlgnL ABOUT IL
O'Clock the alarm of fire was
sounded and when the firemen
responded they found that Hotel
Carolina was burning. 1t was
then that the struggle to check
the flames began and contuined
until three o'clock before the
firemen had control of it.
Hotel Carolina is located in
the center of town and for some
time it looked as more than the
hotel property would be destroy
ed, but the heroic efforts of the
fremen were rewarded by see
ing the flames deminish.
Soon after the alarm was
sounded the guests of the hotel
began making their escape.
Those on the lower floors had no
trouble in getting their belong
ings together, but those on the
third floor were not so fortunate,
and some of them were lucky to
get out with whole bodies. How
ever, no life was loss, and so far
as has been learned no one was
injured. Some of the guests on
the third floor lost all their prop
erty and clothes.
The Carolina was build in
1893 at a cost including furnish
ings of $4,000 or 100000 and
was one of the finest hostelries
of its kind in the south. The in
terror decorations were the finest
money could provide and the
hotel was a favorite resort OF
travelling men and had a large
local patronage. The building
was the property of General Jul.
ian S. Carr, president of the
First National Bank and one Of
the most representative busines:
men of the south. An insurance
approximating S75, 900 was car
ried. 1t is not known at thi.
writing whether the hotel vii
be rebuilt has not been determ
ined.
Gen. j. S. Carr, the owner o.
the property, was in Philadelphi;
at the time, sent the following
telegram when he learned of tn,
fire, which explains itself.
Philadelphia, Pa, May 3.
J. Frank Maddry, Chief Durham
Fire Department:
Express my appreciation ant
thanks to the firemen, both whit,
and colored, for their heori,
work in saving property in ou
town last night. Mr.. Gormal
will give you a check for $500
$3.50 of which is for the whit,
and $50 for the colored firemen
Signed, ]. S. Carr.

AT the annual meeting of the
directors of the Iron County Bank
Monday, the permanent surplus OF
that institution was increased from
$500 to 10000, and the item OF
$50, furniture and fixtures" was
"wiped out" so to speak. This
bank now has $4,000 capital stock
and $4,000 surplus, placing its
furniture and fixtures at O. This
is indeed a splendid showing, and
the president and cashier of that
institution are entitled to COM
mendation for the zeal and assidu-
ity they have ever manifested in
managing the affairs of the bank
The Iron County Bank has been
characterized by the bank ex-
aminers as one of "the cleanest
little banks" in the State, and is
generally regarded as such.
The usual m~onotony of every
day quiet of Ironton was rudely
broken last Friday afternoon when
Circuit Clerk j. M. Hawkins met
Editor B. B. Reagan of the Ar
cadia VdIIey Enterprise OF the street
and promptly proceeded to chast-
Use the editor with a riding whip
The punishment grew out of the
continuous attack of the Enterprise
upon the Democratic officials Of
Iron county. The paper has long
since passed the general stage o.
criticism and for several weeks has
been making personal attacks or
the circuit clerk. 1t has charged
almost everybody except it's owr
personal friends with being a part
of the tring" that for forty years
has persisted in squandering the
peoples money in Iron county
Naturally the officials have at last
become sore, and Hawkins evil
IDENTIFY believes it is time to call a
halt. After the whipping, it is
said Hawkins ordered Reagan tc
keep his name out of the columns
of the Enterprise in the future under
penalty of further chastisement.
After all, Editor Reagan is an old
man, and perhaps Mr.. Hawkins
should have made some allow
ance for his age and natural "sore-
ness toward the Democratic of
~ficials Of the Countrywide RiUel
News.

The drouth was broken here by
q good rain on the 18th instant.
Since that time our crops and
pastures have been abundantly
supplied with moisture. In fact,
we had two surprisingly heavy
rains for August here. The first
of them fell on the 10Th inst, the
other during the night of the 22d
inst, and the day succeeding. In
both instances considerable fresh
cts resulted; no serious damage
was done, however, excepting to
freshly plowed hill side fields, from
which much valuable soil was
washed. Much corn was blown
down.
Corn crops are generally in good
thrifty condition and promise a
remuneratiye yield, notwithstand-
ing the unusually disheartening
prospects that prevailed here last
spring.
Threshing was done here by
Gilbert Evans and sons, of near
Courtois. The yield of wheat was
in most cases very light; that of
oats considerably better. So vari-
able were the yields on different
farms hereabouts, that a correct
estimate of the average yield of
either Of the two cereals could not
we'll be given.
Nearly all the marketable cattle
have been bought and driven away
from here. The prices paid were
from S2.75 to So per Numbered fol-
steers and from 81 to $3.50 for COWS
and heifers. The purchasers were
the Parker Bros, of Lesterville,
and Gentry Ramsey, who bought
for DR.. W. R. Goodykoontz OF
