In thc garage at the time were 49 automobiles and these were all des troyed, together with about 100 farm ing implements and two solid car loads of new farm wagons. The loss Is heavy, the most conservative estl-., mate being $35,000, while tho owner 1" carried $22,500 insurance. S. h. Sharpton, nu employe of the garage, had Just started to work on a new machine, received a day or BO ago by the garage and decided ' that11 ho would crank tho auto up. The 1 first turiH?that> he made caused the" machine to back fire and a gasoline explosion followed, enveloping thc en tire room almost instantly in flames. 50 quickly did the. fire spread that tlie people in the building were al most overcome by the smoko' "while1 trying to rc?*ch thc telephone thov had to escape from the building with out turning in an alarm, going to, a hbusc near-by .where the call was Bent to the fire department.. The de partment made a quick run to the Bcene bat the stubborn flames beat them back and they were unable to make any headway. In a few minutes the entire building "was destroyed and it took splendid work ?on the part of the department to save several of the near-by houses. J. 8. Fowler, owner.of the garage, Bald last night that he 'considered the building almost fire-proof. It had a dirt floor and the building was con structed of sheet,, iron but so many grasse?aadfofrhT'nad dripped from the maty automobiles, in the building that thejire spread vir> -jafiWyV,When Jt reached the qeconl^ta$9l. %^tMb lng, this portion being constructed o? wood, it was at on le building at the time pf the fire were second^ j, hand and fewCvot them were OX aw, j very considerable market value but numbers of them could have been dis posed et at-aay- taiaute -lor. ...good priccc and the loss will certainly be all of "the 'amount" estimated by'Mr Fowler. An oraer had been placed | ? some, tune ago ?by Mr.'?tarier foR several new nwehtnesi'^phief? have read?A bec* shipped from th?: factory, aatt^W is expected that they*" will "ar rive today., Mr. Fowler considers thst he was very fortunate In this respect as tho new? machines would certainly have been in the building had they already been received. The dwelling -house adjoining the garage, owned by Mrs. Josephine Feeples. was badly damaged by the fire, although lt was saved by the daring work of the fire department. So hot ' did thc blaze' become that the firemen had to retreat time and time again from , the burning build ings and because of thlB fact lt was a difficult matter to savo the dwelling hqase. ^ _ * 1er 4e**Je Hhiftt'^r?yiWillett P.

Mr. Maddox is known in 'his community as "the best farmer instils county, (Pickens.) He began on th? dead poor land four years ago, the land being full of gulleya from knee to waist deep. With deep plowing t?r. raping and winter covering of rye, he has in this short time brought the farm up to where, last year, he made sn average of 45 bushels of corn.and I, f?47 pounds of seed cotton per acre. He has now-more than three-fourths of the farm sown in clover, vetch and rye to be turned under this spring. ? "This is a concrete example .of what a renter can do when the landlord co operates properly. And this ls the Beeret of the whole affair. The land lord, Mr. Tate furnishes free of cost all cover crop: seend and binds, him self pot to advance the charges for rerft as long as Mr. Maddox remains on'the farm. Mr. Maddox pays a cer tain percentage of all he makes and whatever interests one is to the in terest of the other. Mr. Tate is de lighted with Mr. Maddox and Mr. Maddox is delighted with Mr. Tate.
