WAREHOUSE, OLD
DEPOT DESTROYED
IN CARTHAGE FIRE
No estimarle was available yester
day of the damage dene by a fire
which destroyed the Gold Leaf tobac
co warehouse and the unused Car-
thage-Pinehurst rail-road station late
Tuesday mgh-1 and threatened a nen-
tire section of town before it was
brought under rontiol.
Firemen for the Carthage and Sou
thern Pines fire departments who
battled the blaze said that only the
extreme dampness of the night pre
vented the fire from spreading fur-
thur and possibly wiping out an en
tire section oof town.
As it was a heavy wind and icy
skim of sleet handicaped firemen in
their efforts to bring the roaring
bl£ize under control.
The warehouse, burning fcr the sec
ond time within a decade, caught
fire first, from an unknown cause-
Destroyed with it was a considerable
quanity of tobacco, and the finanical
records of the establishment, operated
Payne and Nally. A Florida hitch-
hicker barely escaped death as he sl
ept in the warehouse office.
The old depot was a building of no
great value, but it contained a consid
erable quanity ot machinedy and fine
lumber stored there by H. P. Mc
Donald. No insurance was carried on
this property, but it Is understood
that $1,000 was carried on the ware
house structure.
The blaze was discovered by Roy
Payne about one o’colock and who
notified a night watchman. By tke
time the fire department arrived,
however, the fire was beyond control
an dthe warehouse burned to the
ground quickly, the neighboring depot
catching from the heat.
