One of the most prominent business blocks of Timmonsville was swept by fire last night which destroyed four brick buildings and caused a damage of at least one hundred thoiis and dollars. The following stores were burned: Solomon Schaffer, o ne story brick building; Peoples Bank, two story brick building; Electric Light office, one story brick building; Sam Ba- roody, one story brick building. All of the stores were owned by Dr. T. H. Houck. Dr. Houck stated today that he valued the' property at fifty thousand dollars and that he was in sured for only $15,000. Mr. Schaffer suffered a great loss, his stock being valued at $40,000 with only $10,000 insurance. Sam Baroody had just moved into his store with a stock of groceries and carried no insurance, it was stated today that Dr. Houck would rebuild al once with much larg er and more expensive structure**. The fire is one of the worst that Tim monsville has ever suffered. The ori gin of the fire has not been deter mined. 4* News item The Times Wednesday. i.vcrv reader of the story yesterday deeply sympa thizes with the unfortunate citizens of Tinimons- ville who suffered this loss. Adversity always be- pets thought and better methods for the future, therefore, sometimes it is a “’lesson in disguise*' lo some of us. At this important hour of decision. Mr. Property- owner. we wish to offer you the service of an agency built on the platform of service. There is more to an insurance policy than getting the. mere policy: so. when you place your insurance, why not get a I your monyy will buy? Don't take our word for* inis—ask about our service from some of the big property-owners whom we serve. flic cost of carrying insurance is nominal, and the big and admirable companies that \\c represent, writing thousands of risks all over the ountry. are certainly in heller position to carry your risk than you then, too, when you let them carr? it^^y not let them carry it all? Please notice that ibis was a total loss. Myers-Arnold Company, of »'reeiivil’e. was also a total loss. Don f delay this important proposition further. T '*cach for your telephone right now, ask for ’phone .D-b and I. 15/Aiken. If he is not in. leave the mes sage and that is all. Thank von.
