Satnael Johnson says: "The

the ooly way to do this is to
save from your weekly earn

•10 HIE STATESVILLE.
Lobs 0v*r $50.000—Nina Fima
Sattar.
Charlotte Dhwrvtf,
Statesville. March 27.— Pire
started about seven o’clock to
night in a two-story brick bond
ing on West Broad street oc
cupied by Wilson's tailor shop
on the first floor and Leary's
photograph gallery ou the
second floor. The rear of the
building was occupied as storage
room by tbe Laseoby-Mont
gpracry Hardware Co. The
origin of the fire is nnlcnowu,
hnt it had made such headway
that it could not be confined to
this building. Tbe Wilhelm
Company’s wholesale clothing
store, on tbe west, was so ranch
higher than tbe burning
building that it escaped and tbe
wind carried the fire eastward.
The next building, occupied by
W. P. McLean, with a stock of
groceries and' tbe ball on the
second floor nsed as Salvation
Army barracks, was the next to
go. The next building was oc
cupied by J. U. Lamprecht’s
plumbing and general repair
•bop. On tbe sacond floor seas
Capt. P. C. Carlton’s insurance
office and tbe public library.
The fourth building was oc
cupied by Pry & Phifer, with a
general stock, Clark’s cigar
factory being on the second
floor.
Here the fire was stopped,
leaving l wo more two-story brfck
buildings in tbe block on tbe
east, Mills & Poston’s depart
ment store and the Morrison &
Sons Co., wholesale grocers.
Tbe first two buildings burned
comprised tbe old stand of
Wallace Brothers. They were
uwucu dv an. at. u. uuna ana
it it understood that she carried
no insnrancc. The building in
which the fire started and the
oue adjoining were completely
destroyed, the walls falling
down. The other ' buildings
were guttered. The other two
buildings burned were owned by
Dr. J. J. Mott. It is understood
that be carried $5,000 insurance.
Some of the stocks of goods
about all in some instances,
were carried from the burning
buildings and. of course, were
badly damaged. Stocks were
also carried from Mills & Pos
ton’s store and other buildings
in the patb of the fire, in antici
pation of the worst. The loss on
stocks cannot be estimated to
night with iuj accuracy nor is
the amount of insurance known.
The loss on buildings will
reach $20,000 or more and the
total gross loss Is possibly $40,
000 or $50,000. It is the biggest
fire Statesville has had in more
than a dozen years. There was
abnndancc of water and. after
desperate work, the firemen,
volunteers and others, got the
fire under control. Soou after
the fire started help was asked
from Salisbury mud a prompt re
sponse was given, but it did uot
arrive nntil the fire was under
control. Mayor Boyden and sev
eral Salisbury citizens came
with the fire team of 100 men.
