Sept. 8.?Fire beginning at 4:30 this afternoon and continuing for two hours destroyed a large par'.brick and part-wooden livery and feed stable belonging to C McI>ona)d and inflicted much damage to the paint shop of the Hartsville Motor company, adjoining.

Among the property stored In the stables were: 15 bales of cotton, 20 bales of hay, five tons of cotton seed and .approximately |300 worth of farming Implements. Contents of building was probably worth around $2?600. Damage to the paint shop and contents with a brick wall between was hard to estimate, but may run $5,000.
