fire believed to have been of in

8 o'clock yesterday morning, causing
damage of about SO 900.
Shortly after S o'clock two alarms
were turned in In quick succession, and
but for the prompt response of the fire
department the loss undoubtedly would
have been much heavier The fire was
discovered by a pedestrian who noti-
fed Mr. Halle. On investigation 1t
was found that the blaze has gained
considerable Roadway in large stacks
of baled hay on the third floor of the
stables and threatened to spread to
other buildings In the vicinity.
Mr.. Halle was positive that the fire
did not originate from Academia
causes. His theory of n f1rebug was
based on the fact that similar fire
occurred In his stables March IL, tho
loss on that occasion being approxi-

today's fire originated. No blame for
either fire has yet been placed by the

HANOVER COURTHOUSE
ARGUMENT WARNS UP
Hanover to Ashland VIII BE
.---H- ., Voted On August Is.

Hanover County citizens are stirred
up over tho proposal TO move the
courthouse from Hanover Courthouse
to Ashland. on w>.ch they will vote in
special election ordered by Judge
Chichester, to be held Tuesday.
August 10. The election was ordered
when $50 citizens of the county signed
and presented petition for the election.
Since the petition was presented ana
the election ordered there has been
fight on. The fight continues and 1t
grows warmer daily. Pamphlets and
folders and letters are being issued
by supporters of the movement for
the transfer of the courthouse and by
those who want the courthouse to re-
main at its present location.
The former are using arguments
based upon the facts that Ashland is
nearer the center of the county. tx
more easily accessible. and that more
business is transac ted there by more
visitors In one month than at Han
over Courthouse in a year.
the latter are relying largely on
sentiment for the preservation of the
historic old courthouse and monu-
ment. to which Ashland supporters
reply that the historic value of the
old institutions may better be pre-
served by giving them over to the
keeping of organizations whose pur-
poses are preservation OF historic
places.
The question of cost of the removal
OF the courthouse enters into the con-
troversy and there appear strong
arguments on both sides There are
also charges of 'ring rule" and "un-
fair and unjust Instructions" Counter
charges are made. The argument
wakes warm and 1t is certain that
when the matter comes before the
citlzens In next weeks election that
one OF the largest votes ever poIled
IN hanover County will be brought
| out.
