Fire originating in the dry kiln of the Liberty Chair Company, at Lib erty, about 8 o’clock Thursday night of last week, destroyed the chair fac tory, the plant of the Staley Lumber Company, and two residences before it burned itself out late in the night. Handicapped by lack of water, the owners of the plants and the people of the town could do little save stand by and watch the property destroyed. There was great fear that the wind would raise and that the entire town would be at the mercy of the flames. The Libtrey Chair Company, which was completely destroyed together with all machinery, finished ftnd un finished product, was housed in a two story, frame building. The plant was largely owned by J. A. Martin and J. G. Coward. It was valued at $100,000 and carried 125,000 insurance. Sixty people were employed at the factory and its capacity was 250 carloads of chairs annually. Lumber Company and the two residences destroyed were the property of Brace Staley. The plant was valued at $60,000 and employed 25 men. There was no insurance on this plant which was totally destroy ed, together with all lumber on the yards.
