OUR WEST VIRGINIA
NEIGHBORS.
FIRES AT WILLIAMSON.

Never before in the history of the
town has there been such success
ion of fires in Williamson. On sun
day there was small fire AT Dr.
Dix's. which was soon put out and
little damage done.
TENEMENT HOUSES BURNED.
The fire alarm sounded there about
half past two o'clock "Wednesday
morning. and the brilliant light which
soon shone from the rapidly spread
ing flames showed it TO be located in
enc Of the thickly populated Jene-
Lent houses belonging to David
James. and situated at the foot of
Reservoir hill near the park The
fire caught in an upper room Of the
house nearest the hill, and spread so
rapidly that many people down town
saw the flames before all the occu-
pants OF the house had been aroused
little could be done to stay the
flames, as the structures were Of very
inflammable material and burned like
finder. The fire company responded
promptly, but we're unable to save
either of the Zig tenements. owing
to their close proximity TO one an
other However, the work OF the
company saved another little further
on up the hollow Very little was
sayed by any of the occupants OF
the tenements. Indeed. it is the gen
eraI opinion that'it was a lucky thing
thar there was no loss OF life Elev-
en- families occupied the two build
ings, some white and some colored,
and there may be some distress as a
result of the fire. Mr.. James is said
to be pretty well covered by insur-
ance.

ESTHER ARMS HOTEL BURNED.
The fire alarm was sounded again
about three o'clock. and was soon
found to be in the Esther Arms hotel
or Second Avenue The fire evident
l. started in one of the upper story
back rooms. Who started it or why
is not known. Officer Riley who was
one Of the first TO notice the fire,
emptied his pistol and then ran to
the reel house to get the hose A
big negro leaped out on him and
attempted to get away. but Riley ar
rested him after a tussle and locked
him up. The negro claims that he
was SIMPLY frightened by the firing
and was trying to hide, but he is
being held on suspicion that he had
somthing to do with the fire. The
corflagration spread with consider
able rapidity, and although the fire
boys worked hard. practically all the
second story was destroyed. Mr.. f.
+. Randolph, one of the owners. es-
Inmates the loss at $500, which loss
is Pretty well covered by insurance.
The Esther Arms was the Oldest no.
tel in town. and in fact was one OF
the first brick buildings erected in
Williamson. 1t is well known to the
travelling public throughout this re-
gion, and at this time was under the
management of A. Frank Taylor, who
suffers some loss. ~
FIRE BACK OF HARVEY STREET.
The town of Williamson was arous-
ed at the usual time-2:30 a. M
Friday morning by the whistles an
nouncing another fire in progress.
This time it was in the thickly set
tied frame district back Of Harvey
street between Fifth and Sixth The
fire originated in the kitchen OF
Elem Smiths house, how no one can
tell. II spread at once and three
other houses were licked up before
the flames could be stayed Smiths
house. a two story structure. the
large house on the corner owned by
Lloyd Alley and 5. J. Lovern. and
two smaller owned by G. R. c. Wiles
All of the losses were partially COW
cred by insurance. Particularly good
work was done by the firemen. and
it is solely due 10 their energetic
movements that all that section OF
town did not burn.

the entire crop from North Carolina to Texas is from two to four weeks late and that but little fruit has yet matured Too much rain or too little in August and September will practi- ca,.y paralyze the crop. An extended drought in Texas has already cut the crop in that state fully 9 per cent under last years production. No man
 can forecast the disaster attending an early Or even a normal frost period in October. The demand for cotton
 by the world at high prices is today unprecedented. Consumption of cot
 ton goods at abnormally high prices is
 only limited to the worlds present spinning capacity. If raw cotton, basis
 middling, is not truly and intrinsically | worth 15 cents per pound, let those
 who are better posted than we are present the facts and figures to sus- tan their position. Speculation can
 no longer regulate spot cotton. The price of spot cotton is now in the
 hands of the farmers of the South,
