Cr ' ' " " Hie; Insurance Commissioner Cautions Farmers About Storing Bay Not Fully Cured. Spontaneous combustion in hay is causing a number of fires throughout the State, according to Insurance Commissioner McMaster. He gives the following instances: A small store was recently burned in Columbia, and it has been satisfactorily established that it was due to spontaneous combustion in several bales of hay which the store-keeper had purchased the day before. The storekeeper on a Saturday morning had purchased from a country wagon, several bales of hay which had been recently gathered. It was piled in the back part of the store and the evening sun beating on the rear end of the store caused that part of the store to be considerably heated. This seems to have set the hay on fire, and about 4 o'clock next morning the flames were discovered in that end of the store. The building was consumed. Mr. Boozer, who liyes near Cross Hill, hauled in several loads of uncored hay into his barn. A hand who went to feed the stock found that the hay was heated, but paid no attention to it. At mid-day, when there was no one about the barn, which was in a field, the hay burst into flames and the barn was consumed. Mr. Lewis Cook, who lives near Bishopvilh;, on the day before his fire, - had hauled into his barn some nncnrea oats in bundles. The next morning, at feed time, the oats were fonnd to be quite heated, bat no attention was paid to it, and before 12 o'clock in the day, flames had started in the oats and the bam was oonsumed. ^Subscribe to The Dispatch.
