FiliB OF INCENDIARY ORIGIN, -' it itt Believed-Store a ?tl Post?nico at liOHR Crook Destroyed by Fire Last Thursday night tho postoi?ice ut Long Creek was destroyed by lire, believed to have been of incendiary origin. In tho rear of the building in which the postofllco' was located a store was conducted by a Mr. Wil son, and this, too, was a complete loss. Fortunately the government's money-not a large amount-repre senting the postoi?ice recolpts, was saved, Postmaster Geo. Matheson having carried Ibo cash home witty him in the evening. lt is believed that tho fire was of incendiary origin, and them are In dications that the guilty parties may be gotten. Tho suspicious circum stances center around certain facts in regard to the Illegal manufacture of liquor in that section. On sovoral occasions revenue officers havo as a matter of convenience stopped ul the Matheson for ?neals and lodging, and on tho night previous to the fire had taken lodging there. They wore returning from a raid in which two largo stilling plants had boen de stroyed. "And thereby hangs a tale." George Matheson is one of the host citizens of Oconoe county-stal wart, honest, open. Ho is opposed to tho illegal (rallie in liquor, as.'-a re the great majority of the good peo ple of tho Long Creek section and other scellons of our hill count;*-/. And, it is generally believed,and not without good grounds for tho belief, that Mr. Matheson has sustained this loss as a penalty for bis good citi zenship and willingness to give shel ter to the men whom the govern ment sends out to suppress moon shining.
