MT. PLEASANT HAS
DISASTROUS FIRE
SATURDAY NIGHT
(Continued from Fage One)
soon got it back in operation. The
truck was out of commission for
about twenty minutes, and although
the firemen were doing the best they
could with the regular pressure from
the mains, the blaze whs spreading
rapidly. After the tiuek was put
back to pumping water, it was not
long until the fire was under control.
The Perry Brothers variety store
suffered probably the heaviest loss,
its entire stock being practically ruin-
ed by fire and water. The blaze was
supposed to have started in the store-
room of this establishment. The
storeroom was upstairs and at the
rear of the building. The fire was
heaviest at this place, as *he entire
roof fell in.
Williams & Williams, whose law
office was upstairs in the front of
this building, were heavy losers from
the fire, which destroyed many val-
uable records and ruined their elab-
orate library of 97 sections of law
books, totaling hundreds of volumes.
The library cost over seven thousand
dollars, and was one of the most com-
plete in this section of the State. I.
N. Williams lost practically all of the
briefs of cases tried in the courts
during his 23 years of private prac-
tice, and Sam Williams had much of
the records of his private business
destroyed. E. I. Lazarus, who had a
desk in the office, lost some valuable
records and papers.
The E. L. Riddle Furniture Store
sustained a heavy loss, mostly from
water and smoke, although much of
the furnitore in the storeroom up-
stairs was scorched. Lighter articles
on a balcony on the ground floor
were badly damaged while water dam-
aged some articles on the main floor.
Quite a lot of the finest furniture on
display was moved out of the build-
ing, and received scratches and
smudges. Big damage was sustained
in the casket display room upstairs,
about twenty caskets being practical-
ly ruined.
Sliuht dumaire was done in Ihe up-
stairs of the Caldwell building, over
T. 0. Johnston’s grocery, which es-
caped any loss.
Much of the stock of Mrs. 0. M.
