Hundred Hates of Cotton
Htirnetl.
A disastrous H e occurred in
the town of ileath Springs at an
early hour Thursday morning ?
About 1:30 o'clock tlie' ' use 1
of the Springs Banking auu Mer- '
cantile Co. was discovered on tire,
\
but the flames had made such
progress that it was impossible
to cheek them. The building and '
contents, including 375 bales ot
cotton, were consumed. The com
pany's store adjoining the warehouse
was damaged, as was also '
the stock of goods. The total
loss and damaie is estimated at
$30,000, which is covered bv in-1
surauce.
The origin of tho fire is not
known. It started inside the
warehouse. A considerable portion
of the cotton destroyed belonged
to different parties, who
had stored it for higher prices.

Magistrate W. 1\ Caskey turned
over to the county treasurer
Wednesday fines, etc., collected 1
by him for the quarter ending {
Dec. 31st amounting to $311.50, !
making the total amount collected
and paid over by him the past '
year $1078 50, which is $328 50 '
more than the expenses of the j
office, including the salaries of
himself and constable. A fine
record, surely, for Magistrate
Caskey. lie is making his office
far more than self-sustaining?
in fact, it is a pouree of revenue ,
to tho county.

The census bureau issued a 1
report Thursday showing thai 1
the number of bales of cotton '
ginned up to January 1st. was j r
9,955,427, as compared with 11,741,039
last year. The report,
was considered bullish, the future
market advancing 20 or
more points. It is now realized
that the crop of 1901 is short
and higher prices are confidently
axpected.
