Considerable excitement was created in the city last Friday night by a fire which resulted in the complete destruction of the warehouse. The fire was discovered by A. D. Brinson, night police, about 12 o’clock. After firing his pis tol several times he hurried to the bell and gave the alarm. The citizens gathered very rap idly, but the fire by this time had gained such headway that it was useless to try to save the building. Fortunately none of the nearby buildings caught, although one was in the act of catching several times, but by the hard work of the people it was prevented. The burned building was in sured for $1,500, being equally divided between the Liverpool, London & Globe Insurance Co. and the Home Insurance Co. of New York. Mr. Sam B. Wight of Albany. Ga., special agent for the Liv erpool, London & Globe was here Monday adjusting their claim, and was also instructed by the Home Insurance Co. to make adjustment for them. He recommended that full settle ment be made, which amount will fully cover Mr. Sapp’s loss, leaving Cargill-Wight Co., of Columbus, Ga., the only losers, they having aoout $350 worth c f canned syrup stored in the building. This loss should open the eyes of our good people, and cause them to cast their ballot for the electric lights and water works, for our escape of what might have been a disasterous fire for Cairo was narrowly averted, and even a small fire like this about exhausted all convenient water supplies.
