J* m ? Flames Originating in Hacker Lumber Plant Threaten Entire Ttown. ? Ehrhardt, March 9.?Fire origin- s< ating late to-night in the lumber tl sheds of the Hacker Manufacturing ir Company, on the outskirts of the te town, destroyed the entire plant, w with the exception of the saw mill, a and spreading consumed a number of b< freight cars on the track of the At- p< v lantic Coast Line Railroad, the plant bi of the Carolina Gin Company, togeth- m "* ~ 1 ^ irith oV er Wirn 3. numutjr ui sueus luitu vj?. seed and hulls and a number of bales ji of cotton on the Atlantic Coast Line platform. At 2 o'clock a strong oi northeast wind is blowing and if it pi continues from this direction there is le v a chance that the limit of the damage d< has been reached. However, should C; the wind shift to the east or south- sc east there will be little chance for ai the town, as most of the houses are d< frame buildings and right in line for h< the flames. A wide street is now the w salvation of both the residence and pi business portions of the town. m It is not known how the flames ai originated, but the fire was discovery ed in the Hacker Lumber Company's plant, and its progress could not be b( stayed by the unorganized bucket of brigade. The plant is owned by a te Charleston firm, and is thought to be in valued at about $75,000. The loss P1 to the Carolina Gin Company is prob- ^ ably $3,000. The offices, lumber \ sheds all the dry kilns of the Hacker b' plant have been completely destroy- in \ ed; there is yet a chance to save the a* saw mill. Engineer Miller, of the^ Atlantic Coast Line, has just made a most dar- ac - * - * - J-J.- of ing run witn nis engine muu mc sm- -ing and saved six or eight freight cars loaded with merchandise. The ? Atlantic Coast Line platforms, to- th gether with a number of bales of sc cotton, were burned, but the station is safe thus far. At a little after 2 o'clock there ap- ^ pears to be a probability that the flames can be confined to the buildings now burning. ??
