The Peed and Sale Stable of Crawford, Aycockand Deaver Burned. Last Thursday evening al>out 7:20 o'clock the large stable, sheds and blacksmith shop of Crawford, Aycock Ar Deaver were totally destroyed by tire. The fire when first discovered was in the loft among the fodder. The fire of course spread rapidly and it was hut a few moments when the roof was 011 fire. The first move was to get the horses aut, fortunately there were not many and the doors wide and stalls 3pen it was the work of only a few minutes to got the horses out of danger. The buggy, wagon and farm tool shed was full of new vehicles many of which were saved without injury and many were burned up. The newly built carriage factory and blacksmith shop ~>f Mr. W. F. Hughes on the adjoining lot, narrowly escaped being burned as did the residences of Mr. J. E. Colton, Dr. F. C. Duke, Miss Lizzie Gregory, Mrs. Garner, Mrs. Ethel Smith and Mr. Caudle; all these buildings were on and near the same square or block. The barn of Mr. B. B. Going immcdiltcly in rear of the burning stable was also burned, being full of furliturc lxdonging to the firm of Turner May field. There were wo two-room tenant houses belonging to Mrs. Hue Webber at the northeast corner of the big burning stable, not more than ten feet from the burning stable, these were only partially burned on roof and end next to the stable. Too much praise cannot l>c given the fire department because it took judgment and heroic work to save these buildings we have mentioned. No one had any idea that these ast two tenant houses could t>e javed. The fire department had three full streams playing upon the surrounding buildings. The Crawford, Aycock and Dcaver stable was a very large, long and tall building being 100 feet long and 70 feet wide, with a full length and broad loft, one can easily imagine what a fire such a building would make, and can form some idea of wliat a struggle it would take to 3aVe from burning houses within 10 or a hundred feet from it. We are glad* to say that no city fire department with a longer training than ! the Union fire boys, could have done any In-ttcr work than they did on that night. The best evidence of the good work, is to look at the houses saved from the flames. The estimate value of property destroyed is about $3,500. Crawford, Aycock vnd Deaver were insured for one half value of stable. They will rebuild in a short time. COTTON GROWERS MEET. i ** ^ union Louniy umon u rowers Association?What Was Done Monday. A full meeting of the Union County Cotton Grower# Association was held in the court house MoilJay. After the call to order by the president the committee on resolutions relative to the death of Ron. A. Cole Lyles, former president of this association made report and read resolutions. The resolutions were unanimously adopted and upon motion of Capt. J. T. Douglass these resolutions were spread upon the minutes of the association and published in the papers of the county and a copy sent to the family iif the deceased. The reports from the other committees were called for. The reports showed a clean cut reduction of 25 per cent in acreage and fertilizers. It was reported by some that a greater reduction than 25 per cent would lie made in some sections of the county. The warehouse committee reported that the heading of the sulwcription list was not explicit enough as to the number of warehouses to lie built and where these warehouses were to lie located. It was agreed then that the heading lie amended to this extent. Some of the committees roported that they had secured a number of subscribers to the warehouse fund. It was clearly shown that tho ireneral sentiment favored the warehouse system. Rev. Jno. G. Farr, the retiring treasurer, reported the amount on hand and gave same to Mr. John W. Gregory, the newly elected treasurer. The money collected by the different township organizations was also turned over to the treasurer. Sheriff Jno. \V. Sanders handed a letter to the secretary to read to the associa-! tion. This was a letter of inquiry from a hanking house in the city of New Orleans as to what extent the farmers of this county would reduce acreage and fertilizers. Mr. Sanders was then authorized by the association to answer the questions by saying that Union oounty farmers had made the full reduction of 25 $er cent in acreage and fartUixtrs, ir ' ' i Several expressed the assurance that by the time the next crop was gathered the warehouses would l>c ready for all who desired to store cotton. Now with some the idea scenis to prevail that if a reduction of 2.r> per cent in acreage and fertilizers be made that there will be 110 use for warehouses, for the simple reason that there will not be an over production or surplus of cotton to store in warehouses, forgetting that there is now a surplus of two and a half million bales from the crop of 1Q04, and further that the idea is not to market the cotton in a bulk as it were, that is not to sell as formerly all in the fall and winter of the year of production, thus making the receipts very heavy, which always causes cotton to fall in price, but to sell a little along through the year, say a few bales each month. In this way it would be impossible to make the receipts heavy enough at any one time to cause a slump in the price. This then would give the necessity for warehouses. This plan of marketing cotton is considered by those who have made a study of the situation the best to Ik? adopted by the farmers. To do this it is urged upon the farmers to raise his supplies at home, and | not depend on the west and northI west for your corn, bacon, flour, oats and farm stock. WANTS SOME CREDIT GIVEN TO FATHERS. "Palstaff" Thinks it is Time to Let Fatherhood Have ..VW V V Thought and Attention. Editor of the New York Herald. Why is it that the father is such an unknown quantity in American families? There are volumes written about mothers and motherhood, while the selfish motives of sentiment never give a thought to papa, except to shift the burden of responsibility on his shoulders when anything goes wrong. I don't wish to throw a shadow across the halo that surrounds motherhood, but I do want to l>c fair to fatherhood. A father loves his children just as much as the mother does, sometimes more. To him the family looks for support and shelter and protection, and the world often does not know the extent of the bitter beads of perspira[ tion that ooze from his brow in living up to his part in life. He keeps I that usually to himself and does his I suffering in silence, but whatever , the mother suffers, great or small, is Bhouted from the housetops in clarion tones. Woman is forever craving sympathy and Hattcry; most men can get along without either. As a result, the motlier gets the credit of everything and the father the blame. Yet he is just as much a factor in the moulding of his childrens character as the mother, but if the child happens to be delinquent or deficient in some characteristic he always "takes after papa." The only time papa is popular is on pay days; the other part of the time he is either abused by public writers and speakers or let severely alone. Let's get away from the eternal mother question for a while and give some thotijght" and atten won to the lather. Falstaff. Pree Lecture.
