Huge Loss In
Tobacco Fire
At Lake City

Lake City. S. C., May 15. —(AP)—
The Star Tobacco warehouse and the
R. J. Reynolds tobfo.cco storage ware
house here were destroyed by fire of
undetermined origin today, along with
40 hogsheads of tobacco and 500 bales
of cotton.
The loss was estimated by W. W.
Singletary, secretaryr-trea&urer of the
Star Tobacco Warehouse Company at
$200,000.
The blaze was discovered by Night
Policeman N. B. Spann, about 3 a. m..
in the Star warehouse.’ which is just
off main street in the heart of Lake
City.
It spread Tepidly through the brick
ana wood construction building ana
leaped to the nearby Reynolds ware
house, despif° the efforts of the Lake
City fire department.
Firemen played water on the two
buildings for more than three hours,
but never could bring the flames un
der control, and both were
a complete loss.
A preliminary investigation gave no
clue as to the cause of the fire, but
firemen said it probably started from
spontaneous combustion from cotton
which wass tored in the warehouse.
Georgia Is
Voting On
Prohibition
Atlanta, Ga. May 15.—(AP)—Geor
gians were using the ballot for the
first time today to decide the long
disputed prohibition question.
Although the State has been “bone
dry” for 27 years, previous action on
liquor has been by legislative steps or
by proclamation and not by popular
vote.
Voting does not end the liquor
question if repeal is carried. Before
whisky can be legal in the counties,
each county must decide whether to
welcome John Barleycorn.
Defeat of the repeal question, how
ever, would not affect the lighter
beverages, beer and wine, as all three
are separate. Beer and wine will be
legal immediately if they are accepted
by the voters.

Roosevelt’s Promise That
AAA Will Continue
Washington. May 15. —CAP)—Decid-
ing against the creation of a new na
tional agrarian organization, farmer
delegates from 34 states and Puerto
Rico, appointed at yesterday’s mass
meeting, today adopted a resolution
urging continuation of the agricul
tural adjustment act, Including the
processing tax and amendments now
pending in Congress.
The afrmers approved a motion to
have state commodity committees to
serve in an advisory; capacity if the
services were needed.
Washington, May 15.—(AP)—After
shoutiny their approval of a speech
in which President Roosevelt said
“high and mighty” critics of the New
Deal farm program are “lying,” far
mer supporters of the AAA gathered
again today to plan a new national
agrarian organization.
Leaders in the move said they vision
ed it as a unifying force to wipe out
sectional lines. They said: "Wle have
several national farm organizations,
but they are not in accord.”
There were grins of satisfaction and
much backjslapping among the farm
“marchers” as they reviewed yester
day’s program. They said their de
monstration in favor of the agricul
tural program—and against the critics
who are seeking to alter it—was a
success.
The program rose to a climax in
the late afternoon when the 4,000 men
stood before the south portico of the
White House, looked up at the Presi
dent and whooped their enthusiasm as
he told them the farm policies would
continue.

Raleigh, May 15.—Senator Paul D.
Grady, of Kenly, Johnston county, to
day announced that he is a candidate
for lieutenant governor in the Dem- j
ocratic primary in June, 1936.
The announcemnt by Senator Grady
who during the session of the Gen
eral Assembly which has just closed
was also president pro tern of the
Senate, which is equivalent to being
assistant lieutenant governor, came as
no surprise since it has been known
for a good many months that he was
a potential candidate for the State’s
Number 2 post and would probably
issue a formal announcement as soon
as the. General A.ssembly adjourned.
While there are several other mem
bers of the 1935 Senate and House
who are regarded as considering be
coming candidates for lieutenant gov
ernor, Senator Grady is the first to
issue a formal announcement. Among
the others who have been mentioned
as possible candidates are Senator
