The Henry County Weekly VOL. XLV. COTTON 4H CENTS THURSDAY MORNING. Hampton Warehouse Burned With a Big Lot Cotton Between seven and eight hun dred bales of cotton were burned in Hampton at 2 o’clock Tuesday night. The cotton was in the ware house of the Hampton Gin Co., just across the street from the north end of the Schaefer ware house, formerly occupied as the Turnipseed shops. About five hundred bales had no insurance, the loss falling heavily upon num bers of farmers by Whom it was owned. It was perhaps the largest fire in the history of Hampton, and but for stillness of the atmosphere and heroic work of citizens the entire business section would in evitably have been destroyed, the hose being unavailable. It is supposed the fire was trans mitted in a bale from the ginnery, as there is no other solution, and there is much sympathy express ed for those suffering the unfor tunate loss. We have installed an up-to-date Welding machine and will have an expert welder in a few days. Bring us your broken castings to weld. H. M. Amis Co.
