Tho four-story building on Main street known as the Taspar building and belonging to O. F. Smithdeal and two adjacent dwell ings, belonging to 1’. H. Hanes, were totally destroyed and considerable damage was done to the main build- ii!g and a storage house of the P. H. Hanes Knitting Company. It is said (hat the loss is largely covered by in surance. The fire is thought to have originated from an electric motor on the third floor of the Caspar buildin.;, used for running the elevator. The Caspar building was four stories high and extended from Main street ihrough the entire block to Church htreet. It was valued at $50,000. The insurance on it was $20,000. Part of it was used as a storage house by Coleman Bros Tobacco Company, who had 250,000 pounds of tobacco in it, valued at $25,000 and fully coverc<i by insurance.

Mr. Rhodes confined himself mainly to facts and figures showing how the farmers feed the world and in so doing get only a small living themselves. Until the farmer gets his due they »re going to have a hard time. One of the main objects of Union Is to Bducate and bring about cooperation among the farmers. When this has tf;eu done the income of the farmer will have risen from the low figures now rei)resenting it to a good sizel ligurf*. The ITiiion should receive ths hearty support and aid of all farmesT? tor it means their salvatioti. was wrecked. Two dwelling houses ajoining the building valued at $.'>,000, probab'y insured, wore destroyed. There is t-ome loss to the P. H.
