Efforts are being made to learn the
cause of a fire yesterday morning
which DESTROYED the store of z. j. Will
hottie. at the Branchvile crossing on the
city and Suburban Electric railway,
causing an 5000 loss. Mr.. Wilhoite ana
his family lived over the store. Early In
the morning his eleven-year-o daugh-
ter was awakened by the smell of
smoke and called to her par, nts. Roy
Wilhoite. an invalid boy of twelve, was
rescued by Edward Gaylor, who braved
the flames and broke into the lads lock-
ed room. Seeing that saving the store
was impossible, the neighbors formed
a bucket brigade and devoted their en-
ergy In preventing the flames from ig-
door to Mr.. Wilhoite. Little was saved
from the burning building. The loss is
practically covered by Insurance. The
blaze started in the store room, but
there is said to have been no fire in the
stove.

duh in comparison with the volume of

Circumstantial reports Of credits be-
the amount of s25,OOo.OOo for the pur-
chase of 100000 bales of cotton in
America were In circulation on the floor
of the exchange yesterday afternoon.
This statement probably refers to large
orders known to have been given last
month for shipment to Vladivostok and
later on to the port of Archangel
Western Russia. 1t is also believed that
the enormous shipments of cotton rep
resent cotton destined finally for Rus
