THE TIMES-DEMOCRAT APRIL 4, 1907 7 1 BIG FIRE AT SALISBURY FURIOUS ITCHING HUMOR ON CHILD NUMBER OF INSANE DAKON WINS NOT IN HOSPITALS FOR SIXTH TIME THE COLD SPARE BED. Salisbury, N. C., April 2.—One of the most dangerous fires in the history of this city broke out this morning at 7:45 o’clock, and raged until 9:30, de stroying the entire manufacturing block just east of the passenger de pot, located on the old Lanier lot. The fire originated in the wood-work-1 ing plant of Hartman & Gaither, start-' ing from the engine, and being first discovered in the roof, and in a short space of time the flames had spread | the entire block. Five manufacturing plants were com- pletely destroyed, entailing a loss, roughly estimated, at between $25,000) and $50,000. The buildings were not! expensively built and the loss in the] destruction of the buildings will prob ably not amount to over $1.2,000. V. Wallace & Sons, owners of the buildings, are the principal losers,! along with George R. Bartin, contrac-: tor, whose supplies were burned, and the Barber Buggy and Wagon Manufac turing Company. The fire was exceedingly hard to check on account of the low water pressure, the lack of sufficient hose j and the strong wind. At one time! there were as many as six buildings burning. It was thought the fire was under) control at 8:30, but it soon broke out anew. All trains here were held up for an hour on account of the fire. Salisbury was visited this morning at 8:30 o’clock by one of the most disastrous fires that has occurred in several years. Property estimated to be worth $30,000 or $40,000 went up in the flames, including five buildings and almost their entire contents. The origin of the fire is thought to have been in the cabinet and repair shop of Hartman and Gaither, in one end of the big three-story frame build ing used as the Barber Buggy and Wagon Company’s store room. From there the flames spread rapidly to the adjoining building occupied by the Lanier distillery, immediately opposite the Southern passenger depot, thence to that of George R. Martin, contrac tor; next to a two-story dwelling and then to another small building, mak ing five in all. Tatum’s livery stable caught fire twice but the blaze was put out each time. The flames got beyond control of the Salisbury fire department and Spencer was called upon for aid. The two de partments soon got the fire under con- j trot The lines of hose running across the railroad tracks tied up the passenger trains for several hours. Mr. Preston Swink, of the Salisbury fire department was overcome by the heat and had to be removed to his home. The buildings were owned by Messrs B. Wallace and Sons. The in surance on the property will not near cover the loss. Bleeding Sores Covered Her Whole Body After an Attack of Measles -—Nursed Every Night for Three Weeks—Nothing Helped Her. THEN CUTICURA MAKES COMPLETE CURE IN 5 DAYS “It is in my opinion my duty to ioin those who praise the Cuticura Reme dies. After my granddaughter of about ' seven years had been cured of the measles, she was attacked about a fortnight later by a furious, itching and painful erup tion all over her body, especially , the upper partof it, forming watery and bleed ing sores, espe cially under the. arms, of considerable size. She suffered a great deal and for three weeks we nursed her every night, using all the remedies we could think of. Nothing would help. We then remembered having heard so much about Cuticura Remedies. We sent for them and after twenty-four hours we noted considerable improvement, and, after using only one complete set of the Cuticura Remedies, in five consecutive days the little one, much to our joy, had been entirelycured, and has been well for a long time.

In event of illness among the hogs the best veterinarian in the pro vince is to be engaged. As the interest on $8,000 at 4 pei- cent. amounts to but $320 per annum, and as the attendant’s fees and feed ing will exhaust this amount the first year, the will provides that drafts may be made on the principal immediately after the first litter of pigs is born. Thereafter the principal shall be used as needed until no such remains in the bank. At this time the hogs and tensely indignant when they learned of the disposition of the property. While McDonald had never been known to keep swine, he no sooner learned from his doctor that he must prepare to die, than he sent to a neigh boring farmer and bought two young pigs, a male and a female. These he caused to be placed and fed in a pen at the rear of the house. He then sent for his solicitor and dictated his will, saying that if he gave his fortune of $8,000 to his cousins it “would be in the hands of pigs who denied their identities,” and ahat he “might as well give it to the porkers which made no pretences.” By the terms of this unique docu ment the house is to be sold at auc tion, the funds accruing from the sale are to be banked and the interest, to- pigs are to be sold and the money de voted to such local charities -as the executor may elect. In case an epidemic takes off the hogs within a given time, all that re mains of the fund is to be given to three churches, to be used in caring for cemeteries. Thus, it is for the in terest of the executor to see that his charges live as long as possible. Ex perts in farming are now busy trying to figure out how long the $8,000 will last. They base their computations on the probability that the litters will aver age about eight. r l. re are as many answers to the riddle as there are farmers. CONGRESSMAN GROW DEAD.
