Several Buildings in Nashville, N.C., Burned. . . Four Stores and Several Small Frame Warehouses Destroyed in Fire of Undetermined Origin

Nashville, N.C., April 23 (AP)—Fire of undetermined origin early today destroyed four stores and several small frame warehouses here. The loss was unofficially estimated at in excess of $40,000.

A half block of the business district was wiped out by the flames which for a time appeared to threaten the entire business section. The Rocky Mountain [Rocky Mount] fire department responded to a call for aid and succeeded in getting the flames under control.
