splendid work done by the firemen at
the fire on Tuesday uooraing. The
firemen certainly deserve commendation
for their work on this occasion.
They worked untiringly and it is entirely
due to their efforts that the fire

?The town conncil has decided to
come down with a heavy baiid upan
bicycle riders who do not abide by the
ordinance in regard to using lights on
bicycles. This ordinance has not been
strictly enforced recently and the
riders have become careless, and very
few wheels are provided with lantern?.
It will be ajgood thing to enforce the
ordinance, as ttre use or tne ngms win
prevent [accidents to both riders and
pedestrians, especially cn oor side
streets which are 60 poorly lighted,
when on dark nights one has to group
his way, and collisions conld so easily

?People who are inclined to be
rather superstitions about fires in
VViunsboro and who always look for
a second fire after one has occurred
were not surprised to hear the firebell

I people ha ' arrived at the scene of the
fireii wa out. The fire was in the
Duvjtl h? il and was caused by the
explosion ot a lamp. The flames
caught a mosquito net and caused considerable
excitement among the people
in the hotel. It was quickly extinguished
and very little damage was j
done.

DEPOT A>*D COTTON BURNED.
A few minutes after 3 o'clock on
Tuesday morning cotton on the freight
depot piatform was discovered in a
blaze. Those who first saw the fire
say that a few bales in the southeast
corner cf the depot was seen burning.
The roof of the depot projected some
little distance over the platform. When
the fire was fir&t discovered the wind
was blowing from a southeasterly direction,
and tbe projecting roof was
soon caoght, and shortly tbe wind
changed almost east and the fire rushed
across the bales of cotton on the platform.
Repeated efforts were made to
turn in an alarm of fire over the telephone
JHne, but without success. It
was at an hour when everybody sleeps
* j ~ :m
soundly ana people seemea siuw m
reaching the fire.
The fire spread rapidly until ths
flames reached the depot building, and
licking through a small grated window
in the southern end, ignited the freight
stored within. Iu a few moments the
interior of the building was a roaring
mass of flames. The engines could
do little to check the fire within the
depot, so the firemen confined their
work principally to preventing the
spread of the fire to the northern end
of the platform where a quantity of
cotton was. Several freight cars were
in danger and one or two caught fire,
but the flames were extinguished and

the platform
About G90 bales were ou the platform
at the time of the fire, and of this
number about 183 were buried. The
greatest quantity of freight was destroyed,
and the interior of the dejot
on the morning after the fire was a
sight to behold. Dry good?, heavy
and fancy groceries, fruits, candies and
school book?, millinery and stationery
were piled together aud hopelessly
mixed up on the floor, kurned and
ruined. An unusually large?amount
of freight had been unloaded the
night of the Are and almost every
merchant in town lost something. AU
of the stock for the new store (the
Wiunsboro Racket) that is to be
opened here were destroyed in the fire.
About $15,000 worth ?f property
was burned, nearly all of which is
fully covered by insurance. The depot
was practically fire-proof, having very
-
little woodwork abont it, so the in?
jary to that is not very great, and It
will probably be repaired at a very
early date, as ihe freight agent will be
put to serious inconvenience in the
meant iote.
Tbe origin of the fire i* unknown,
but i? probable ibat a spark from a
parsing engine was the cau:e. The
fire is still smouldering and requires
constant watching.
