Eight Hundred Fifty Bales Destroyed at Winder Fire
A blaze in Winder Georgia destroyed the Dunn 17's 6 Company warehouse and its thousand bale cotton stock. About 150 bales were saved before flames reached the walls, while water shortages hampered efforts. The nearby Bacares was saved, and insurance covered the warehouse loss. The incident spurred talk of a municipal water bond election.
