IT Il with pleasure that The Jour
nal acknowledges the receipt from
Mr.. a. j. Powell, one Of the county
commissioners, Of a card in which
Mr.. Powell commends The Journal
Tor its generous offer to print the
minutes Of the county commission
ers free for the remainder OF the
year. Mr.. Powell's card is manly
and straightforward, and he is to be
commended for the manner IN
which he places his opinion before
the people Of the county. Though
Tic does not favor Il bond issue, as
has been suggested, he advocates
more economy in the conduct OF
the county changing and in other
county affairs. Mr.. Powell's card
is a message from one member Of
the board OF county commissioners
to the people Of Lee county. It
should be read by every citizen Of
the county. The communication
ia full is as follows

Worst Fire In History Of
Lee County At SmithViIIe
III AMEs CAUSED BY EXPLOSION OF GASOLINE SWEPT AWAY
LARGE PART OF THE BUSINESS DISTRICT.-LOSs EST.
MATED AT FROM $50 900 to $685. oO0 WITH BUT
VERY LITTLE INSURANCE.

The sympathy Of the residents q
the entire county is extended to the
citizens oil smithville who suffered
last Saturday what is estimated Al
from 10000 to 25, 900 property los
as the result Of the most disastrou.
FIRE in the history OF the county.
The FIRE began in the rear Of the
store ST B. F. Christie, and was
caused by a negro presser attempt
ing to show thata heated iron would
not explode a can Of gasoline into
which he had thrust it. The gaso-
line exploded and spread fire thro-
ughout the entire building within d
short time.
Famed BY a rather brisk wind,
ylle fire spread from building to
building. burning out practically
the section of the business district
north OF the place whore it began.
The fire began just before noon and
burned itself out about 4 O'clock in
the afternoon.
With no facilities for fighting the
flames OF Of curbing them, the citi-
zens Of Smithyille who owned the
buildings and the stocks ofgoods IN
them looked on helpless while the
fire spread from store to store. As
there is no water supply available
except a small waterworks system,
which was insufficient to cope with
the flames after they had gotten
such a quick start, fire departments
from neighboring could offer no as
sistance. Chemical engines would
have had no effect on the flames
after they once got under Roadway.
Realizing their helplessness under
these conditions, many Of the resi-
dents Of the town looked on in ter
ror while the fire spread. Breaking,
out as it did about midway the

ssaincipal Business street Of snlith-
l . a9b Is was fortunate that the flames
spread northward rather than south
ward, as the stores and shops in
the northern section were far less
valuable II the fire had once gotten

street from the Christie store in that

section OF the business district would
have BEEN swept away also. The
fact that the Hill store was a

brick building prevented The spread
of the fire in that direction, though
even that building was damaged
somewhat.
The fire is the most disastrous
that has ever happened in Smith
vile, and a number Of Smithville
property owners and merchants lost
heavily as the result oft. Only part
of this loss is covered BY insurance,
probably not more than fifty per
cent. It was difficult yesterday to
even approximate the amount Of in
surance or the general loss in the
flames. An estimated list Of losses,
with the names Of those who suf-
fered damage, was complied yester-
day for The Times Recorder from
