About 4 o'clock this afternoon an alarm of fire was sounded. The fire wu in South Greensboro, and caught from the kitchen flue of Mr. Myron G. Newell's house. , There was a high wind and soon the house wu wrapped in flames. The fire then leaped to the dwelling occu pied by Mr. S. F. Harrell, but owned by W. II. Newell. Soon both houses were gutted and in the hands of the flames. The' fire then caught the house of Mr. John Sampson; which followed the fate of the other two. The fire companies responded promptly, but were almost helples?, the nearest fire plug beiug about two or three hundred yards off. They worked nobly, however, and stopped further destruction by the flames. The loss will be between 6 and S thousand dollars, it if thought. Mr. Myron Newll's house wu insured, and it is thought Mi Wil II. Newell'i house wu also insured. Mr. Samp son had no insurance. . Nearly all the personal property was gotten out of each house, but in a greatly damaged condition. ;i ;V Our sympathies are with these un fortunate people and hope their loss will not be so gTeat when they get (Heir property together, which irnowr very much scattered Communioated EDrroR Daily Workman: I see in your papr of yesterday that I am sug gested u a nominee for Mayor.
