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 thons and dollars. The following stores were burned: Solomon Schaffer, o ne story brick building; Peoples* Bunk, two story brick building; Electric Eight 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 Hie property at fifty thousand dollars and that he was in sured for only $15,060. Mr. Schaffer suffered a great loss, liis stock being valued at $40,000 with only $10,000 insurance. Saul Baroody had just ihoved into his store with a stock of groceries and carried no insurance, it was stated today that Dr. Houck would rebuild at once with much larg er and more expensive structures. The fire is one of the worst that Tim monsville has ever suffered. The ori gin of the fire has not been deter mined. f News item The Times Wednesday. i.vcry reader of the story yesterday deeply sympa thizes with the unfortunate citizens of Timmons- ville who suffered this loss. Adversity always he yets tbought and better methods for the. future. ’! hereloiv, sometimes it is a “lesson in disguise' lo some of us. ♦ At this important hour of decision. Mr. Property owner, we wish to oltev you the service of an agciitw built on the platform of service. There is moretti? an insurance policy than getting the mere policy: s<>, when you place your insurance, why not get <’d your money will buy? Don’t take our word for this-—ask about our service from some of the big property-owners whom we serve. Tlie cost of carrying insurance is nominal, and the big and admirable companies that we represent, writing thousands of risks all over the ountry, are. certainly in better position to carry your risk than you——then, too, when you lei them carry it. why not let litem carry it all? Please notice that thi> was a total loss. Myers-Ariiold Company, of '':reenvil'e. was also a total loss. Dont delay this important proposition further. Peach for your telephone right now, ask for 'phone ptj, and C Lb Aiken. If he is not in. leave the mes- «<:u\ and that is all.
