Fire that originated in the. three
story negro* Odd Fellows building oil
Wayne street at* a r early hour Friday,
mori'ing resulted' in damage approx
imating $75,00.0 t'o -jieolooo 1 •
The flames were discovered aVv ul
3 o'clock in the morning and-* when
first- seen had made considerable
headway. The blaze wh.V sho'hting
to the top of .the three, story*' hui.ldy
ing before the fire department was
bin to appear on the scene.
As to how the fire originated luh
facts can ho obtained. On the first
lloor of the building in Which the
fire was discovered was operated a
restaurant- by J..- H. Jones, -colored - .
It is presumed that the flames start
ed front the stove operated in the
kitchen of tills restaurant.
£ or more than an hour the. oii-tire
block in which the* fire started was
threatened. ■ despite the dllligent
work of the firemen. Steady
streams of water at high pressure
feught tlie flames from four different
directing. though fire 'proof walls
between the burned buildings anJ
others adjoining served very mater
ially in holding in check the flames.
Thursday night at a late how a
heavy rain foil ia Mllledgeville and
to this is attributed the reason why
more damage was not done by the
fire that had made such progress in
Uie face ef a stiff wost wind. Thous
ands of sparks lurge3 than marbles
showered the ^opu of buildings a
distance of two flocks away, evi
dencing the fact that in all proba
bility the flames would have made
a clean sweep through the Jeffer.,on
street stection and on towards the
river. 1
Basddes tho Uirce siory building

Odd Fellows, one of the buildings

One of the two buildings outside
of the colored lodge t.ulli'ng was

By applying last year’s than mid
mule rates for labor and prices then
paid lor scald und fertilizer to the
basic roquirments in an investigation
in Mitchell county, Ga., the average
operating expense of cotton was fixed
at approximately 33 cents n pound
there.
Man und mule rates for labor in
this Investigation und seed and fer
tilizer costs, the department says,
constituted 84 per cent of tho total
operating expense, exculsive of land
rent. Other expenses amounting io
16 per cent of the total, including
such items as ginning, manure, equip
ment, taxes, lnsrrame und overhead
Man labor wan charged at the rate
cents an hour, mule labor, 20
cents ah hour; seed, $81 a ton and
fertilizer at $46 a ton. From the to
tal cost of $56.16 an acre, a seed cred
it of $3.90 was deducted, making a
total net cost of $52.26.
Di3cusses “Lesson of 1920.”
Asserting that tho rate f-cr labor
and seed did not sturt to decline un
till after the 1920 crop had seen pro
duced, the report adds:
With cotton around t” to 15 cents
per pound ike returns not only al
lowed no interest on capital, but fail
ed to pay operating expenses at going
rates for labor and prevailing prices
for agriculture. With cotton at IS
cents per pound It would require a
yield of approximately 4f>o pounds of
lint to cover opetating expenses.
"Tho application of the basic re
quirements of production in estimat
ing costs should be o-i’ vital interest
to growers at this time,” the report
adds. "The history of the year 1920
will not be forgotten immediately
and it will be safe to say that the
lessons of this period will bear some
