Fire ravages Southern Pines block causing near $100000 loss
Fire destroyed more than half a city block between Broad Street and Pennsylvania Avenue in Southern Pines early Thursday, with losses listed to Henry Lewis and others totaling about 100000. The blaze spread rapidly despite quick response from local and Pinehurst fire departments, and a death occurred as Dr William F P Swett collapsed during the emergency. Donations and Red Cross sewing efforts were reported as information on relief items and contributions.
