FIRE DESTR 0YS
BIG WAGON PLANT

Especial to The Times-Dispatch.1
Lynchburg, Va. December 9.-The
entire plant of the Thornhill wagon
Works was wiped out by fire here to-
light, entailing a loss of more than
s1e0, 1000. The fire started in the paint
shop, and in fifteen minutes had en-
seloped the plant, which fronts for
about 400 feet along and on both
sides of the Southern Railway.
Every wire Of the Western Union
and Postal Telegraph Companies, con-
Meeting the South and Southwest, was
destroyed, and traffic on the Southern
and Chesapeake and Ohio Railways
was blocked and cannot be opened for
service for hours.
Four freight cars on the Southern
sidetrack at the burned plant We're
consumed. The fire spread SO rapidly
that the yard crews were abe to get
only one car from the track. and that
was burning at the time.
This is the second time this com
Ipanv has been burned out in recent
wears, and nearly 800 employees are
thrown out of work by this blaze
The fremen had a hard fight to pre-.
vent the spread OF the fire to Elm
Avenue, but stopped it with the de-
struction of one small dwelling.

REPLY TO WILSON
MADE BY Smith
Former Senator Answers Mani
festo Of New Jersey
Governor Elect.

Newark, N. j., December ..-Former
United States Senator Smith to-day
made the following statement in an.
swer to ~Governor-elect Wilson's open
letter yesterday, In which Mr.. wilson
urged the nomination of James u
MARITIME for. United States Senator to
succeed Senator Kean:
II have read Go%yernor-elect Wilson'S
statement on the United States sena-
torial situation. The statement is q.
remarkable one for two reasons. 1t is
a gratuitous attack upon one who has
befriended him. but whose candidacy
has not been announced, and 1t is an
u~nwarranted attempt to coerce The
Legislature.
THE ~Governor-elect Knew that l had
not reached a decision in this i'm
portant matter, and that he saw fit to
make an uncalled for reference to ...a
%deprives his act of that fine courtesy
which should control not only Southern
gentlemen. but the conduct of all gen.
tlemen.
Declares stand Unfair.
DIR. Wilson will attempt probably to
defend his statement on the ground
that 1t is not the utterance Of a Gov
ernor-elect. but the voice of a new
leader. 1t will be difficult for the peo-
pie to mark the line which separates
the two. In either view his act lacks
commendatory quality.
Its unfairness is so manifest hat
1T will come as a shock to the great
body of the people. Above all things.
the American public loves fair play.
The Go~yernor-elect has given striking
evidence of his aptitude in the ar, Of
foul play.

1t. The statement purports to give the

Present.

Among the curious Christmas presents
Of this year will be one for a man Of ma
tional reputation, which has been all year
IN the making.
Way last January the present was
decided upon, and a friend OF the promi-
nent gentleman requested the Bunelle
Press Clipping Bureau. OF New York.
to watch every paper IN America, and
to take up every item which appeared
concerning the ].
The clipping bureau people followed
instructions, and now present the history
Of one year in the life Of this especial man.
The history ends Just after election,
and the 2o,642 newspaper items found
include everything fram a three.line edi.
torial mention to t~ull-page illustrated
stories. These have been mounted on
a.2oo great sheets of Irish linen paper
and bound into three massive volumes.
At the head of each item is the name
and date Of paper clipped from. this in.
formation having been put in with .
book typewriter. The words thus iii.
serted amount to 1882.
In actual time. a very strict record Of
which has been kept, the work has re-
uuired sixty.four working days through.
out the year, and has kept in employment,
during that time thirty people as readers
clippers, sorters, mounters and binders
Every newspaper of importance is repre-,

This is merely a specimen Of some Of
the unique orders which get into the Bur.
pclle Bureau, for the extent to which
clippings are used by individuals and By
business concerns seems to be remarkable
There ART many people in private al

CLOSING SESSION HELD

Especial to The Times-Dfspatch.J
Hendersonville, N. c., December D.
Judging from the hearty vote OF
thanks for entertainment during this
session which the Baptist State Con-
vention adopted at Its closing session
this morning, and judging also from
the expressions from men who are
residents OF H~endersonville, regarding
the pleasure of this community In
being privileged to entertain the con-
vention, 1t is not probable the pay
system OF entertainment will be adopt
ed by the convention In the near
future.
The argument has been made that
the adoption of the pay system would
tend to increase the attendance of lay
delegates upon the sessions of the con-
%yention. many of these feeling q deli
cacy in being entertained in private
homes. On the other hand. the argu.
ment was made that to adopt such a
plan would interfere with the hospital
ity and pleasure OF people In the towns
and cities selected as the scat or
convention, these people fincing de.
light in entertaining the delegates.
This subject has been brought before
tho convention in other years also. but
so far no action has been taken show
ing the majority Of the members -

manner of entertainment.
Womcn In Attendance.
a number of Baptist women have
been in attendance during this session
of the convention. and 1T is probable
this number win be largely Increased
next year. This will be due to the
fact that the convention adopted a
resolution recommending that an invi-
.ation from this body be presented by
the next session of the Baptist Wo-
mems Missionary Union. which VIII be
held in the early spring. requesting
the appointment of ten women from
