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.
