curred here last nig-ht when the
main plant of the Southern Car
Company was destroyed by fire,
together with all machinery.
The loss is between $80,000 and
$100,000, and covered by only
one third insurance. There were
23 cars worth several thousand
dollars each almost ready to go
out, and these were also destroy
ed; The origin of the fire is now
unknown, but it is believed to
have started m the cabinet room.
The plant is located almost a mile
from the business section of the
city, and by the time the fire
company arrived the mammoth
building- was on fire all over and
there was no chance to save it.
Work was then directed to sav
ing the new addition to the main
plant, where a number of -cars
were also in course of completion,
