About a dozen bales of cotton were damaged by fire which was discovered shortly after 6 o’clock this morning in the cotton warehouse of the Locke Cotton Mill. The origin of the fire is not known.
The mill whistle gave the first alarm and in a few minutes quite a crowd gathered at the mill property. The fire department made a quick run to the mill, and the blaze was extinguished in a few minutes.
The loss was covered by insurance.
