Tho Bepot, 4O0 Bales of Cotton
and a Man Burned Up at tleatt
Spring
A disastrous fire occurred ir
the town of Heath Spriog laai
Saturday night. The loss is fl
human life, and property aggregating
about $1(5,000. The fin
when discovered bad partiilh
consumed a box car loaded wit!
cotton and spread to the cotton or
a platform adjacent. When tb<
flames were finally subdued 40(
bales of cotton, the depot of th<
S C & G extension and its con
rents, two loaded box cars, ant
several warehouses filled with
cotton seed had been consumed.
The losses are pretty general!)
covered by insurance. All of th<
cotton lost belonged to the Lan
caster Mercantile Co. There were
about 1,800 bales of cotton or

woi k that the major portion of it
was waved from the flames.
The oiigin of the fire is nol
known, hut it is supposed thai
the unfortunate man whose charred
remains were found in the debrit
the following day, and who wut
known to have taken lodging in
the car loaded with cotton the
night before, struck a match for
some purpose during the nighl
and accidentally set tire to the
cotton. Another theory is that
tho cotton was sot afire by spark?
from the engine of the freight
train which passed down that
night. The unfortunate man, wf
learn, was Bates Suttle, of Shelby,
N C. He was a surveyor and
was employed on tho new railroad
being built from Cheraw to Camden.
He came to Kershaw Sat
ur< lay and bought a ticket tu
Catawba .Junction but wa9 left by
the train and started out afoot.
He reached Heath Spring shortly
before Sundown and applied at
several residences for lodging but
was refused because he wasintoxi
cated. The lust seen of him he
was crawling into the box cai
that night. Coroner Young held
an inquest over bis remains Mon
day morning. Thero was nr
evidence of foul plav; any theory
of rohber> and murder was re
hutted bv the fact that melted
silver, showing that his iimne)
had not been taken, was found
beside what had not beenconsum
ed of his body. Mr. Suttle wai
