The Martin family which num bers several children were out in the fields working when the blaze iwas discovered about 4 p. m. A Column of smoke rising from the white-painted farm-house among 'the trees gave the danger signal. Calls to the Southern Pines Fire Department and the State Fire tower, brought the latter in rec ord time but flames were already roai'ing from windows and doors and the Forest Service Truck, with its limited supply of water, could do little. Concentrating on the barns and outbuildings of the farm, the crew, under the guid ance of County Fire Warden Tra vis Wicker and V. E. and 'Bill Mc- Crimmon, were able to save them. The local department was un able to respond to the call from Mr. Martin because the latter had !not assumed the special protec tion payments for those living beyond city limits. The Martin home was a total loss, including the entire con tents of household effects and wearing apparel. The Martin farm is within half a mile of Niagara on the county road to Thagards. The house, it is reported, was only partially insured.
