The barn was filled | with tobacco, running at high heat, using wood as fuel. Friday night around 10:45 p.m., a barn on the Lonnle Turnage farm, 3 miles east of Bunn, was destroyed by fire. The Justice and Bunn Fire De partments were called. The two fire departments saved a shelter leading to another bam a few Vards away. The Turn age bam used oil burners. One fireman reported that a spec tator told him the barn was be ing run at extreme high heat Just before the fire was dis covered. 1 A severe thunder storm that hit the Henderson-Epsom area Saturday night did some dam age to crops in that area. Light ning struck and destroyed a sta ble on the Hodge Smith farm two miles north of Epsom, kill ing a mule inside. The storm had knocked down power lines and the Epsom Fire Department 1 had to be alerted by telephone, according to Loulsburg fire men. Previous losses of barns by fire In the area were report ed. Rufus Bunn lost a barn around 3 a.m. on Tuesday, July 28, 2 miles south of Jus tice and another barn was re ported destroyed on a Pearce farm near Bunn around 8:25 p.m. last Tuesday* Dean said, "The causes of bam fires generally are: run ning high heat; sticks falling, because of breaking or Im proper hanging; hanging short sticks which are subject to fall and overcrowded barn space." He added, "This Is the peak of the season and many are anxious to kill out their tobacco in order to be able to get another load Into the barn. This sometimes causes con ditions that could be haz ardous." Dean said he felt tliat oil and gas burners were safer than the wood type. Miss Lucy Burt of Loulsburg reported the loss Monday of a barn on a farm belonging to her in White Qik Townshp In Halifax County. Dean said that he thought there were six barns lost last season, although no records were kept for the entire season and that there were less barns being lost now than there were a few years ago. $73,000 Harold Talton, Finance Chair man for the bond sale drive to raise funds for the new Gay Products Co. plant here, re ported today that pledges amounting to $73,000 have been obtained.
