Qday and Monday In Dooly county- Ten thousand dollars loss was sus tained In an early morning blaze yes terday which destroyed the seed! house, a large wooden building be longing to the Planters' Oil Company, together with Its contents ot machin ery, hulls and cotton seed meal, sev eral carloads of which was packed up for shipment. The blaze was discovered at 5:30 o’clock, and the large building was well aflame ere the fire department coulh reach the scene. Fortunately there was no wind at the time and by excellent work the firemen confined the flames to the seed house. Had the fire crozted Church street a conflagration would have been Inevitable. ' ) And In such event the loss might have reached several hundred thous and dollars. Instead of only 910,000. Burning Cara Are Rescued.

The birds had really eaten the email particles of the explosive, and each carried a life Insurance policy under her wing.
