o'clock last night resulting in between $25000 and $30000 damage before the flames were finally brought under control by the fire department after a battle of more than an luliir an a half It was by far the most disastrous fire ever experienced in Bemis it was said Tuesday morning Damage js covered by insurance The warehouse used by the company to store cotton cloth etc is divided into nine bays each separated from the others by a fire-wall Undoubtedly the fire-wall kept the blaze from spdearing throughout the entire building it was said The hay in which the fire occurred contained 20S bales of cotton all ot which were damaged by fire and water 192 rolls of cloth 112 of which were fire damaged and 80 water damaged and 265 bags of starch Each roll of cloth contains 1500 yards Engineers at the plant were unable to advance any theory of the cause of the blaze Tuesday morning although investigations were under way The fire started in the back of the big room behind the cotton it was said None of the material stored in that particular bay was being moved save the starch which was stored in the front of the room farthest away from the starting point of the fire A little starch was being taken from supply each morning for use at the mill The rest of the time the bay was used only as a passageway 1o the other rooms of the wartfhouse it was sa id Jt will be necessary to rebuild the bay it was said Tuesday morning after an inspection of the fire scene had been made The floor Is charred as are the walls and ceiling Rebuilding will probably begin at once No fire has occurred in the building since the latter part of last year it was said Last winter a small blaze started hut was extinguished before heavy damage resulted Officials consider the occurence unusual in that no injuries were incurred in spite of the magnitude of the blaze -o- The 'Woman's Missionary Circle No 2 of the Bartlett Baptist Church will give a barbecue supper on the church grounds this evening at ti o'clock
