Tbe chief accomplishment of the

pushing of the Tobacco Market,
with the result that the market sold
over II million pounds this year

Through the activities of the
Convention Committee— especially
the chairman. Walter Stansbury,
the city ha* attracted a number of
conventions during the year.
Chief among then* was the seed

In the matter of new businesses
the committee has discussed with

exemption from taxes; and the

collapsed ju*t before midnight
Wednesday with u thundering
crash, completely destroyed a store,
washed away a garage.' tore amali
buildings from their foundations,
and Hooded the first floors of near
by residences. The A. T. Griffin
Manufacturing plant suffered dam
ages
The 110 fee*. high standpipe Is lo
cated at North George and Holly
Streets. The loss of the pipe itself
is negligible, City Manager Zeno
Hollowcll sard, since it was to have
been dismantled at an early date.
Plana had already been made for
the erection of a million gallon ca
pacity tank costing about $80,000 to
be located at the intersection of
Center and Holly Streets. There
was no disruption of service on ac
count of the accident. Within an
hour water was being pumped di
rectly into the city water mains.
Mr. IiolloweU said regular water
service would be continued.
Citizens, awakened suddenly,
found water already up to their
perches, and were forced by the
rising water to Ihclr second floors.
The water broke through the win
dows and doors of the Charley Da
vis Grocery destroying his store
and stock and cafe. A garage and
:-everal stables on the Griffin plant
were washed away, and the entire
grounds flooded.
Following the crash the water
exacted its damages then quickly
receded, and it was all over in a
