Old Ice Plant Burned

IN" old Moses ice plant situated
near the A. G. l.. Depot caught fire at
about 1:30 today and was totallydes-
trOyed. When the fire trucks reach
ed the scene Of cOnflagatiOn the
whole plant was one mass of flames.
The prn-Sumter Lumber COMPANIES
force of Workmen was Immediately
called from their work to stretch their
lines Of hose and pla.' water upon
their buildings and lumber lying near
est the fire, for it seemed that at any
minut" the fire might spread to their
side OF tho tracks. Good work was
done by the fire department to keep
the fire from spreading to adjacent
buildings. Shifting engines of the A.
G. L., were busy for a time moving
freight cars out of danger At one
time small negro house nearby was
Shcathrd in smoke and looked as if il
would inevitably catch. but with the
careful and timely attention OF the fire
department, the shanty was saved
tn" fire was we'll under control at
about 2:15.
The old ice plant was bought about
November Of last year by tho city,
along with other property and at the
| llme or the fire was not used for any
pupoEc. The building was covered
by about $lO.O0O.00 insurance.
