The explosion blew out several plate glass windows in the front of the building. The walls of the brick building, flanked by the Southern Deposit bank and the Eagle drug store, collapsed within 30 minutes.

Heat from the flames drove telephone operators from their switchboards in the rear of the burned building, disrupting telephone service for 30 minutes. Fire Chief Milton Riley said the fire apparently had been burning for some time when the explosion occurred. Origin of the fire and explosion was undetermined immediately. The bank and drug store buildings suffered considerable roof damage from flying embers. Thurman Stovall, owner of.

the shoe shop and partner in the electrical firm, said several containers of bottled gas were stored in the building and may have caused the explosion. Owners of the property estimated damages at more than $30,000 and was covered in part by insurance. A A Thursday First Run In City The A of One Woman changed the lives of TWO MEN!
