WINSTON HAS FIRE
ONE FIREMAN IS KILLED
SIOO,OOO Worth of Property De
stroyed Friday Night —Old Far
mers Warehouse Burned.
Winston-Salem had a big tire
Friday night in which about
SIOO,OOO worth of property wasj
destroyed and one fireman lost
his life.
The old Farmers Warehouse
property, which was some time
ago fitted up for store rooms,
was wiped out. There were ten
or fifteen firms occupying the
building. Among them weie
three wholesale grocery stores.
Nearly all of the losses weie
partly covered by insurance-
Mr. Joseph Whitlow, a volun
teer attached to the Winston Fire
Department, was caught by a
falling wall during the fire and
almost instantly killed.
The old Farmers' Warehouse
property was owned by Messrs.
R. W. and P. A. Gorreil and Mrs.,
H. L. Riggins. The estimated
worth of the property was
$20,000, with $15,000 insurance. ;

Sands' Local Union No. 1147. |
[imith, N.C., Feb. 24. i
Messrs. Editors :
If you will please allow me a j
little space in your valuable paper.
I will write a few remarks in;
regard to our local, as I saw in
the Reporter where President
R. L. Nunn said that all locals
ought to write and tell how
they were progressing. I belong j
to Sands' Local No. 1147 and we j
have a very lively local and most'
allot' our members have paid!
their duvs and are standing to- j
gether with a firm and steadfast,
resolution for the principles of I
the Union. We have not got a
large membership but 1 believe
what we have got are true union
men. We try to make our local
as lively as p>.-sibly by having
speeches and talks on various
matters such as farming, buying
and stlling and th ; best methods
of co-operation and how to plant
and and cultivate for best results.
I believe that the Farmers' Un
ion is a good thing and is going
to be bett jr every year.
If you don't have a lively local
it is all the members fault, for J
I do know some of th?m will pay 1
up their dues. Now, brother
farmer, how can you expect any ;
benefit out of the union if you |
never go to your local to see
whatisguingon. Now, brethren,
if you all will put your shoulder
to the wheel and help push, suc
cess awaits us. Now, brethren,
let's all pull together and every
man do his best and we will show
the outsiders that the union is
going to do something if it has
not already done anything as
Rose Bud expresses it. But if;
Rose Bud will read just a little
more and stop and look arouud
I think he or she will see that
the union is doing something
right along, for there are two
large union mills going up near
Smith.'

THE DANBURY REPORTED
WHY IS IT THAT
Piedmont Warehouse
Sells Forty Per Cent, of All the Tobacco
Sold On the Winston Market?
It is because the people who sell with us know they always get the top market
price every time they come, and because they honestly believe they can do a little
better at PIEDMONT than anywhere else.
Bring us your next load and we will prove to you that what our customers
believe is the TRUTH.

Mr. Walter V. Bennet Makes Good
Average at Winston.
Mr. Walter V. Bennett passed 1
through Friday afternoon en
route home from Winton, where i
he sold a load of tobacco at an >
average of 22 cents. One grade
of the load brought 50c.
Mr. Bennett is a good farmer, j
and believes in raising his home
supplies at home. He says that;
he will advise all farmers to stick s '
to the Union, and make all their
meat and bread at home. After
that, when they put in a tobacco
crop, tend it good, and handle it,
nicely, and it will bring a good
price.
;
Mr. Bennett was very happy
over his average, and the Repor
ter man saw the glimpse of a
SIOO.OO bill snugly stowed away
in his pocket book.
