No property was probably more ful ly covered by insurance. At the time of the fire Hie mill was carrying double - fie amount of insuranct it bad pre- vumsly carried before November Zotb, ; When the property was taken over by ;. the present owners Mr. White, the treasurer, established his office in this ' city, and Mr. Rankin, the president, - conducted his at his home at Lowell It develops that botliDf these officials -.- or the company had the property in sored, .Mr. Kaiikin through C. N, , Putt & Co., of Charlotte, for $60,000, Mr. White through Jno; K. Patterson Co., of this city, for the same amount;- C. N. G. Butt & Co. had . carried (lie insurance on the property , .for the year ending November 25th s,'and m lien. t lie time expired the insur ance was renewed by Mrr Rankin, the 1 ' company being granted a considerable decrease in the rate from the previous . - year. Mr. White had the property in v 'gnred through Jno. K. .Patterson & Co. and for the past several months both policies have been in force.
