Harrington and Carlisle Fire
Companies Respond to Early
Morning Blaze
Due to the able assistance of
neighbors, a threatening fire which
occurred on the farm of Ernest Kill
len. two miles south east of FELTON,,
early Sunday morning, was confin-
ed to the kitchen in which the fire
started.
According to Mr.. Killen an attempt
had been made to light a gasoline
stove and an air valve was opened,
resulting in the air blowing gaso
line out of the tank, igniting from a
torch which was used to light the
stove. Immediately the kitchen was
a mass of flames. Fearing that the
fire would get beyond their control
a call was sent to both the Harring-
ton and Carlisle Fire Companies.
Both companies made record runs
and were at the scene of the fire
within twenty minutes, but did nor
go into service. The Harrington Fire
Company laid a line of chemical
hose, but after tearing away pOr-
ton of the ceiling didn't find any
signs of more fire.
It was lucky for the owner that
the fire did not do any more dam
age, as the room above the kitchen
was used as a storage room for this
years crop of sweet potatoes and
which had already been placed in
the bins.
Saturday evening Harry Hudson, !
a young negro, who was mixed up in

tain very much under the influence

landed in Jail. They we're held for
court on several charges. 1t is said
