(lC..COTTON SEED
fire AT FLORENCE
Dyer Seven Hundred Tons Stored by
8 Southern Cotton Oil Company
.s Destroyed. IS, I, 8.
TOTAL DAMAGE $4,000
Irigin of Fire Believed to Have
Been Due to Defective
Electric Wiring.

Florence, Jan. 1.-The large cotton
seed house of the Southern Cotton
Oil Company, located at their plant
! in this city, was destroyed by fire
shortly, after midnight last night. Be-
sides the building there was destroy
!, ed all of the machinery in the build
ing and one box car of the Atlantic
Coast Line that was standing close
by. A locomotive and several care
belonging to a construction company
that recently built the double track
I2r the Coast Line, that were near
) by, were badly damaged
In the seed house building was
stored between 700 and 800 tons of
cotton seed, recently purchased at
high prices. This was mostly con-
sumed. But for the fact that the wind
was blowing from the north the en-
tire plant would have been destroyed
Nas the building was an immense
frame structure, fifty feet wide and
s1S4 feet long and about forty feet
high. The glare from the flames of
the burning building lighted up the
whole city and many miles out in the
country
Damage $4,000.
The value Of the building destroyed
was about $4,000 and the contents
and other property destroyed will be
about 100000, making total of
about $4,000, which is in large part
covered by insurance.
The origin Of the fire is thought
to have been from defective electric
wiring as it was first discovered in
the center of the building at the top
on the inside.
The firemen had long, hard run of
mile or more on slippery icc-covered
streets, and when they reached the
scene of the fire the frozen hydrants
and thermometer reading of 10 de-
grees above zero made it difficult to
fight the flames because they would
get covered with ice within few
moments after the water left the
noZzles.
The mill people have had large
force of hands at work all day remov-
ing the seed and cotton in bales to
places fsafety in order that as much
of it as possible may be, salvaged
This is the worst fire Florence has
had since 1908, when the various to-
bacco buildings in tobacco town were
destroyed.

Agent e. F. Boyd goes into effect the
first of November the County Com
missioners have begun to look about
for the employment of a successor for
him to take the office as soon as Mr..

desire to fill the office.

ers have called a number of repre-
sentative farmers from all parts of
the county to meet with them on next
Saturday afternoon at the Court

Murphysville; Ben Marshal and Jack
Walton, Washington; Pat Manion and
Pete Cracraft, Mayslick; Alex Mar

missoners if they employ a new
County Agent to employ him under
the supervision of a board which shall
have representatives from every pre-
cinct of the county as members.
The matter will be taken up with
the State Department of Agriculture
