FIRE DESTROYS PATTERNS AT LOCAL
 MACHINE SHOP
Large Building for Patterns of Birmingham Machine and Foundry Company
 Burned to Ground

Workmen are busy this morning clearing away the ruins of the pattern Machine and Foundry company, which were totally destroyed by fire thought to be of incendiary origin discovered yesterday morning at 11:45 o'clock.
 All of the patterns stored in the buildings were destroyed, it is stated, and the buildings are now in ashes The total loss of material is estimated variously from s9o,o00 to $15o,000. The main part of the plant was hardly dam aged, and work was continued yes- terday afternoon.
 The East Birmingham fire depart ment answered the call, but ,the blaze had evidently been smouldering for sometime, for those who witnessed the flames when they first broke through, stated that flame and smoke burst forth in such a cloud that it ap- peared as if the entire plant was doomed No one was working in tho building at the time of the fire, the space being used almost exclusively for the storage of patterns. There were no fatalities or accidents con nected with the fire, it is stated hy the watchmen. Only the firemen were allowed inside of the fence surround ing the building, as the majority of the work of the plant at present is in making munitions.
 The building was constructed of white pine and firemen were busy all of yesterday afternoon in watching the ruins to prevent the possibility of a further outbreak. The main build ing is of brick construction, and was only slightly damaged by the fire. Fear for the safety of the surround ing plants was felt for while. but after about an hours hard labor on the part of the fire department, as sisted by the company's department, the flames were brought under con- trol.
 Street car traffic was stopped for hours. all of the water plugs being on the opposite side of the track from the plant. and passengers from Gate City and vicinity were forced to walk several block to the emergency cars which were run to relieve the situa- tion. Large crowds from the vicinity of the plant as well as from BirminS- ham gathered at the scene of the blaze and many expressed the opinion that the circumstances made the fire seem to be of incendiary origin.

 AT THE HILLMAN

The announcement is made that a din- ner-dansant will be given each Friday evening from to II at the Hillman ho- tel. The dinner will be served promptly and the music for the dancing will leave nothing to be desired, declared Manager Washburn of the Hillman cafe.
 This will be an opportunity to spend a pleasant evening and throw off the cares of the week and the day with de- lightful music and an appetizing meal. he said. ''These dinner -dansants are to be strictly hgh-class affairs and no oth- CT variety of patronage is catered to by us at any time. This innovation will prove a pleasant variation to those who wish to attend the performances at the local theatres and enjoy dinner and dance afterward.'
 The first dansant will be held Friday night and a large number of reserva- tions have already been made.

 Adopted For Regulation o the Approaching Primary

fore the committee and the chair holding the point well taken, advised MT. Pettus that he could bring the matter up at any time.
 MT. Nesbitt thereupon moved that the committee proceed to the filling of Va cancies. MT. Pettus objected to filling the vacancies before the business tor which the committee had been called to- gether and had been disposed of He argued that the committee as then cons stituted was elected by the democratic voters at primary election four years ago; that they hold their commissions from the democrats of the state and t was -heir duty to pass upon all ques- | tions of policy and party administra- ton; that any new members elected oy the committee would hold their commis. sions from the committee and not from the people, and that it would be unfair and unjust to the democracy of the state to perrnit them to vote on matters of such great importance. He moved as substitute for MT Nesbtts motion that before filling the vacancies the com mittee pass upon the question of sub hitting the prohibition amendment to the democratic voters.
 RESULT OF TEST VOTE
 MT Burr raised the point that the sub stitute was irrelevant to the motion. and the chair, holding the point well taken, MT. Pettus appealed from the ruling On the motion to sustain the chair the members voted as follows:

 Mir. Pillans challenged MT. Dixon's right to vote while acting chairman, but was overruled.
 Mir, Burr calling for the previous ques- ion on MT. Nesbtt's motion to proceed to fill vacancies, MT. Pettus moved that this matter be indefinitely postponed After a -dawn-out argument over the Pettus motion, participated in by MT. Pettus and MT. Pillans for it and MT. Burr, MT. Patterson and Judge Bouldln against it, it was tabled by q {, vote of 25 to II, Mir. Stallworth voting with the anti-subm issionists. The Nesbitt motion was then adopted by the same vote-25 to II.
