DISASTROUS FIRES.

DISAS KOOo rlNEAo.
Entire Plant of Kingsdale Lum-
her Co. Bunrned-Loss About
100000, Covered by Isurance
Many Thrown out of Em-
ployment and Large Pay Roll
Stopped-Will be Rebuilt
Mr.. A. B. Fishers Residence
Destroyed by Fire Friday.
The entire plant of the Kings
dale Lumber Co. at Kingsdale,
S miles from Lumberton, was de-
stroyed by fire of unknown origin
Thursday night, destr Dying
property valued at about $6O, 600.
throwing between $50 and
200 people out of employment,
and stopping a payroll of about
$4,000 a month.
When first discovered about
9.15 o'clock at the south end of
the planning mill the fire was
about the size of man, but it
spread with incredible Swiftness
and in a short while the entire
plant, which covered a large area,
was a m ass Of devouring fame.
All that was possible was done to
check the flames, but the early
exhaustion of the water supply
available through the hydrants
made hose useless, and the only
defense was what water could be
handled with buckets. That good
work was done is evidenced by
the fact that only six dwelling
houses were burned. 1t seems a
wonder, considering the size of
the fire, that a single house was
left standing in the entire vii
lage.
With the exception of the
blacksmith shop, the entire plant,
including band-saw mill, 5 dry
kilns, a stock of lumber. 5 plain
ing machines, 5 boilers, the com
pany store and warehouses icon
tanning a stock valued at about
$40, ,OOO) was burned. Three boz
cars, one Of them full of dressed
lumber ready for shipment, Were
burned, as was also the depot
and postoffice, which were a par
of the company store building
Most of the books and valuable
papers in the office of the mil
were saved. The entire loss wa
estimated Friday by Mr.. G. D
Yeakel, assistant treasurer OF tn
company, as at least $50, 600 Q
$50, 900. The insurance vii
about cover the loss.
Six dwelling houses belonging
to the company were burned, on
of them unoccupied. Messrs. H
w. Ivey and Chas. Land OF
cupied two of the houses, tn
others being occupied by ne
groes. Part of the furniture j
these was burned.
The burning of this plant is
great blow to the people OF tn:
section. Between $50 an
200 people are thrown out of en-
ployment, some of them doub
less with nothing laid by for
rainy day, and a payroll tn
amounted to about. S., ,OOO
month suddenly ceases, for tt
present at least.

the company, of Richmond, Va

day on his way to Kingsdale.
says that as soon as the insuran
is adjusted the plant will be !
built on a different plan, WI
concrete dry kilns. A later al
more conservative estimate tn
that given above places the \
at between $40, 900 and $500
The plant was built some IL We;
