Car ef Towels Burned.
Fire of probable incendiary
origin destroyed a car load of
goods shipped here for the Kerr
bleaohery on the sidetrack lead
ing to the bleachery yesterday
morning about 3 :80 o'clock.
The car was 'run on the side
track Saturday and had not been
accepted by the bleachery. It
contained 20 cases of towels sent
here to be bleached by the Roa
noke mills ' of Roanoke Rapide.
The blase was discovered by the
night watchman at the Cannon"
mil. The watchman said that
about 2:80 o'clock he smelt cot
ton burning and that he and the
fireman went through the mill
but did not see any blaze. About
8:80 o'olook he continued thd in
spection and when he went to the
rear of the mill he saw the blaze
from the box car on the side
track, the fire being on the op
posite side of the car from the
V Cannon jni, Thefire depart
' ment was summoned and made
prompt response, but the blaze
had gained such headway that
"the goods were practically con
sumed before the alarm was
turned in.
There is , little doubt that the
car was set on fire but there it
not the slightest suspicion as to
the guilty party.
The officials of the bleachery
state that they had not received
the goods and had no idea asto
their value. The loss of the
, goods will probably be paid by
the railroad and it is understood
