BLOCK OF FRAME
BUILDINGS BURN
FLORENCE BARELY ESCAPES Sc
RIOUS CONFEDERATION.
Property Destroyed Will Be Replaced
at Once With Brick
Structures

Florence, July Florence narrow
ly missed a serious conflagration this
morning when the Buchheit row of
frame tenants, stores, pressing clubs,
etc., were destroyed by fire.
The alarm from box fourteen, at
East Evans and Church streets, in the
midst of the business section, was
sounded at 9 O'Clock. The fire was
then bursting through the roof Of the
Buchheit block of frame, buildings in
East Evans street. The department
was soon on the spot, but the inflam-
mable material that thefire fed upon
caused the flames to make rapid head
way and by the time the first stream
of water was turned upon the seeth-
ing flames, the building had begun
falling. Nearly everything in the
several apartments of the building
was burned and the loss was consider
able.
The Mcmillan building, across the
street on the south side, soon caught
as we'll as the large billboards of
Brays. The Berry building on the
west side and the Buchheit tenant
dwellings on the north, were damag-
ed.
The top of a gasoline filling station
tank caught and shot up a long stream
of fire. The tank was expected to
explode from a distance and it was put
out of business.
The property destroyed will amount
to several thousand dollars and on AZ
count of the high rate charged by the
insurance companies on the risk.
about 10 per cent, there was little in
surance on any of the property.
The fire originated from spark
from a stove flue in restaurant, be-
ing driven under the shingles by the
stiff wind that was blowing.
The buildings destroyed will be re-
placed with brick structures at once
by Mrs. S. ]. Buchheit. the owner.

COTTON PLANTERS
BLUE, SAYS HARRIS.
Whole South Pessimistic, Due to En-
cessive Rains, Boil Weevil and
Labor Shortage.

The farmers are very blue" over
the cotton situation in the South, due
to the excessive rains and other con-
ditions, says Commissioner Of Agri-
culture Harris, who has reports from
every State in the South. Mr.. Harris
states that these reports show very
bad condition in the cotton States,
and a respondent view of the situa-
ton is given. Many Of the farmers
are abandoning their crops, says Mr..
Harris. Some planters have plowed
up their fields and many are offering
their crops for sale at less than the
cost of the fertilizer they put into
them.
TIT, rains have been gieven as one
of the main causes for the condition,
and the rains of the past few days
will doubtless make the situation
even more gloomy. The boil weeveil
in some sections of the South has
caused a great deal of loss to the
planters an dali over the South the
labor condition has been serious
handicap. Commissioner Harris
states that his reports from all parts
OIL SilOW luoI NhSiS AoS
been great loss of cotton from these
causes.
A report from J. j. Brown, COM
missioner of agriculture of Georgia,
shows that of several farmers in one
community which had been interview
ed, not one reported an encourag-
ing situation. One farmer said that
he would be thankful if he should get
one-third of what he did last year.
Another said, II paid $4,000 for my
guano. Now for $1,000 I will turn
over the whole crop"
One farmer says he would take two
bales for his cotton of nine acres.
Another who has % acres is willing
to take three bales. Others are SIM
ply plowing up four, five and even
more acres with the hope of using
it more profitably.
Farmers in some sections report
that their crops will be cut SO per
cent this year. 1t is generally be-
lieved that the crop will be unusually
short, and that this will mean high
price. .-Columbi Record.
