ONE OF THE MOST DESTRUCT-
I'VE FIRES IN DAWSON'S HIS
TORY OCCURRED MONDAY.
APPROXIMATE LOSS 100000

Believed That $4,000 Will Cover To,
tai Insurance. Entire Business Sec.
ton of City Seemed in Great Dan
ger at One Time.
The Planters Warehouse owned and
operated by A. J. and NJ. J. Hill on
south Main street, was totally destroy
ed by fire about $50 o'clock last night
together with large quantity of cot
ton.
Mr.. A. ]. Hill states that the cotton
stored at the warehouse was approx
mate1y 1900 bales, and of this number
200 bales that were in the street were
saved.
The loss OF cotton is estimated at
100000, on which there was insurance
through the warehouse firm of 10000.
Mr.. Hill estimates that some farmers
had individually insured their cotton
towhat amount he does not know, but
he believes it will not exceed $4,000.
A great many farmers, however, had
no insurance, and some have practical
~ lost their entire crop. Messrs. Hill
had $1,000 insurance on the warehouse
building, which was an old iron struct-
ure.
About half of the cotton that was
burned was of the 1920 crop, and was
being held for higher prices.
The fire started under a shed at the
east side of the warehouse yard next
to Jefferson street. It's origin is un-
known, but is believed to have been
caused by fire packed in a bale OF cot
ton or a cigarette carlessly thrown
down by some one.
The fact that only a breeze was
stirring at the time saved the city
many thousands of dollars and aided
the firemen in their heroic efforts to
keep the flames from leaping to nearby
buildings In the absence OF Fire Chief
Kenney, who was in Atlanta, Fireman
J. B. Hayes took charge and against
heavy odds held the raging fire in
check. He has received many express
sions of appreciation OF the splendid
work of himself and assistants from
the large crowd watching with eager
interest and expecting every minute
sweep Of flame to wipe out all the
nearby business houses and residences.
1t was thought at one time that the
large furniture emporium OF Z. B.
Durham & Co., on the north end OF
the block would be burned, but it was
saved by heroic efforts Of the iremen
and citizens.
Among the heaviest losers in the fire
were Mrs. Susie Mercer, approximately
hundred bales with no insurance; H.
A. Petty, IS bales partially insured;
w. L. Pace. IS bales, no insurance.
J. E. McCree also lost a number of
bales but definite information as to the
extent OF loss could not be obtained.
A large number OF others suffered
more or less from the fire but it is i'm
possible to obtain full list until the
company's safe can be opened.
