was visited with another serious fire yes
terdny afternoon when the shops of the
Sanford Milling and Manufacturing COM
pany were destroyed. The fire was caused
by the overturning of a kettle Of roof
paint, which was being heated, and it was
impossible to put out the blaze. The shop
of l.. o. Sanford. across the street, was
burned, as was the meat market belong
ing to Rowe & Son.
The FIRE was surrounded on all sides by
houses and 1t was feared that the whole
business part of Dadeville might be
burned. but through hard work and the
lucky direction of the wind nothing else
caught. Salmon & Son., druggists. and
Lackey Bridges, lawyers, suffered some
damage by having their stock of goods
and library and furniture moved out when
1t looked like the fre would reach their
buildings.
The total damage is something like 800,
with practically no Insurance.,

PLAN TO REORGAN|zE
PEACOCK IRON WORKS
Selma Citizens Want Industry
Put in Operation
SUNDAY SCHOLARS MEET


Selma, July 7.-(SpeciaL) AT a recent
meeting, at which there were present
some eight or ten representative citizens.
plans were discussed looking to the re-
organization of the Peacock Iron Works,
an institution which has done much for
Selma and which was won a name in
many parts of the world.
The large plant of the Peacock Iron
Works has been shut down for over a
year. The panic caused the Messrs. Pea
cock to become financially embarrassed
and they have been unable to recover SO
far and the large payroll of the concern
is missed by the merchants of the city.
AT the meeting recently held several plans
were considered. The first was to buy
the present plants with it's machinery
and equipment and reorganize with w.
r. Peacock as manager. Another plan
was to purchase such machinery as was
needed and erect new foundry on an
other site. In this event 1t is also under
stood that w. R. Peacock would be at
the head of the new concern and 1t might
be called the Peacock Iron Works
Several committees were appointed dur
ing the meeting and these committees will
investigate the different plans which were
proposed. Another meeting of those in
terested in the reorganization of the COM
pany will be held within the next few
days. when the different committees ap-
pointed will make their reports and steps
for the financing of the venture will be
taken, and within the next few weeks it
is believed that the plant Of the Peacock
iron Works will again be put in operation
and that the large payroll Of the con-
Germ will again be felt by the business
people of the city.

Chief of Police Taylor thinks him a

sort of pride in the effort made. The
chief now thinks the first letter, in which
Frank was told to bring the money to
the hotel was a bluff merely to get
Frank confused. The second letter was
the one that was looked to for results
which brings about the belief that the

being worked out and other developments
may follow, though the boy says he
