A BKj P1RE.
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.
