A tobacco packhouse on the farm
belonging to Mrs. C. R. Townsend, 1
mile from town, located on the Green
ville Highway close to the road on
the (eft side, near the railroad cross*
tag, burned Monday night. Local fire*
men answered the_call but were un
able to save the house or any of the
contents, 7% barns of tobacco and
many sticks, stored there.
Henry May, who liveB on the farm,
wad loser with Mrs. Townsend, of the
tobacco that was the nucleus of the
best tobacco the farm had produced.
- The suddeness and intensity of the
fire, baffied the May family, who
had been in the yard of their home
at twenty minutes to llf twenty min
utes before a motorist sounded toe
alarm by prolonged blowing of his
horn and stopping at a neighbor’s
house.
Many neighbors who passed the
packhouse at approximately 10:80
have also reported that they did not
notice any fire at that time.
Mr. and Mrs. May thought toe
possibility of graders setting the fire
carelessly, was unlikely, since none
of those working in the afternoon
smoke.
