Shortly after midnight Saturday
the Burkett gin was completely de-
stroyed by fire, according to a re-
port from F. B. Porter of that
community. \
The fire was discovered by Miss
Vera Pearl Oliver who turned In
the alarm. • Although the blaze
tjjirned slowly, it had made consid-
erable headway before It was dis-
covered and due to lack of fire
fighting facilities, nothing was sav-
ed. Damage on the gin was esti-
mated at more than $7,000, only
partially covered by insurance.
Two bales of cotton and several
tons of cotton seed were destroy-
ed.
The gin has been operated In Its
present location by F. L. Mayfield
for the past four years. During
the past few months extensive re-
pairs had been made and some new
maohlnery installed.

In which many Coleman county

It Is Improbable that Individual
farmers will realize large sums

plains, since only 17 per cent 07
the poundage submitted to the na-
tional pool was sold. Rate of pay
ment to individual owners of cer-
tificate* will be four cent* a pound
cm about 17 per cent of the total

make It poeslble for each producer
