From Days Gone By Sept. 3, 1926

 September 3, 1926.

    From a fire of unknown origin the Union Warehouse of Wrightsville caught fire around 4 am Sunday morning. The seared and scorched remains of 320 bales of cotton were greeted to the rising sun on Sunday morning. The fire took out the middle section of the big warehouse. The fire was first noticed about 5 am as it burst through the metal roof and the night policeman, Garrard, gave the alarm. For an hour the fire brigade piled streams of water on the burning cotton and were it not for the fire walls the whole building would have been lost. The company carried $30,000 insurance on the contents and $6,000 on the building. They plan to rebuild immediately. The new electric gin was unhurt and back running. In fact, all the gins of the city are running full time to keep up with the cotton. Many wagons are parking all night to get an early hand at the gins.
