HOT TIME IN GREENSBORO.
The B"bw Gi tp in Pmeke
Saturday A Total i,omu
Greensboro had a period of intense
ixcitpment Saturday. At 12:20
tome one obserted that the Ben bow
Hotel waa on fire. The origin will
probably never be known but the
first appearance was on the upper
floor. The fire department responded
quickly but the pressure was too low
at first to reach the fiamei with the
hose and the fire engine broke down.
Thus the magnificent fire story
building was doomed: Winston
was called on and responded most
-promptly and did good senrice.
No other buildings were ' lost.
There was little breeie and this was
moat fortunate for the city.
The fire beginning aboye waB fav
orable to earing life and property.
Tber were no serious accidents and
most of the contents of the building
were removed, though some Yaluable
trunks, ete., were lost.
The building was a total loss to
its owner. Gapt. J B Fisher. There
was no insurance on it. He bought
it in 1892 for $50,000 and had never
had it insured.
The hotel is to be rebuilt at once,
though probably a still finer build -ing
wl take the place.
As Greensboro stood helpless
against the flames Winston and
Durham were called on for help.
Each responded and Durham's fire
fighters were alongside the track
waiting to bound the train when
they received a message that they
would &ot be needed, but the engi
neer at Winston was dispatched by an
official to touch only the high places.
The trip of 29 miles was made in
35 minutes.
The Ncaitn Opns Then.
Get ready for the opening: of
the baseball season. Wednesday
and Thursday are the days, and
the Cheraw boys will be here to
handle our boys if they can.
Our baseball people are look
ing forward to the games, and it
is expected that we will have a
victory lrom them. ' This will be
the first time our people will
have seen the boys on the
diamond this year.

these two are intimately linked by
the large amount of the produots in

It is better to grow forage and
