Five negro houses located «• ' the
A. B. & aVTrack were destroyed by
fire Friday afternoon about three
o’clock. It is not known just how the
fire originated but the general sup
position is that it had its origin in a
spark that fell from a passing freight
All of the houses were occupied, the
occupants of the one in which the fire
began were at home but were not
aware of its existence until it had at
tained such headway it was Impossible
to prevent the destruction of the
house. There was considerable wind
and the blaze was rapidly transfer
red to the adjoining house and so on
to the third, fourth, and fifth in the
line. It seemed for a while that the
big barn at the jail would burn also.
The probability of this was so strong
that all of the feed stuff stored there
Was removed. The fire department
succeeded in preventing this however.
The houses burned were the prop
erty of Dr. J. M. Whitehead. He es
timates their value at $1,250. He
carried no insurance.

Those of the rural schools that have
not already started will open Monday,
October the 29th, for the regular six
months term. It is of interest to note
that-a number of Dooly’s rural school
districts have grown beyond the six
gsonths term class and are now sup
porting eight and nine months terms.
The citizens of. these districts who
have made this possible are to be
congratulated upon this evidence of
their advancement, for truly the
school is an index to the intellectual
status of the community in which it
is located.
There has been a marked improve
ment in Dooly’s system of schools
during the past few years, but there
yet remains much to be done to add
to the efficiency of this highly impor
tant cog in the county’s wheel .of
progress. The following are the
