Yesterday's Dig Fire BEST CHAIR: PLANT DE STROYED One of the most exciting fires as well as one of the most devas tating in the history of the town occurred here late yesterday af ternoon when the large plant of the Best Chair Co. was practical ly wiped out and one or two ten ement houses adjoining were burned, wholly or partially. Soon after quitting time about 5.30 o'clock, some workmen who were on the yard at the plant dis covered fire in the cabinet room of the factory. The alarm was immediately given and the fire men responded promptly, but the flames spread so rapidly that the entire centre of the building was enveloped in flames in a few min utes. The fire under the condi tions was difficult to get at, be sides a high wind Was driving the black volume of smoke and sheets of flame towards adjoining property. All of the availing !use was brought into action and the fight was divided on saving as much of the plant as possible. and keeping the fire from spread ing to the building just east f plant, where they were bunched thick and offered great dancer. After a fight for nearly two hours the danger was eliminated. All of the Best plant was de stroyed except the engine and boiler and a ware room on the west end, the latter being pro tected by a fire wall. The factory was carrying a large supply of manufactured goods and goods in profess all of which were burned. The los is difficut to estimate, but as near as Mr. Bestcan find ijt will he between $45,000 . and $50,000. There' was""$3i,o6b" in surance on the whole plant. One of the smaller houses burned belonged o Mrs. Sallie Scchrest, and another damaged was owned by Mr. F. I). Stfch- The fire was spectacular and brought out a larye number of i citizens. DR.

Hearing In Rato Offer Interest Grows as the Testimony Is Submitted All of yesterday afternoon was consumed by the manufacturers who went on the stand and testi fied to the alleged 20c arbitrary rate to all Pacific coast points, which had practically driven them out of that territory by this discrimination. Among those who testified were A. E. Tate, S. L. Davis, F. X. Tate, J. L. Comer, and T.' W. Finch, and John R. Myers, of Thomasville. These gentlemen, if no other testimony had been given, made out a plain case. Morning Session. The taking of testimony in the furniture rate case was resumed before Examiner Gibson of the Interstate Commerce Commission this morning with Assistant Freight Traffic Manager Browd- er of the Southern Railway on the stand. Browder's Testimony. The justification of the exac tion of the twenty cents arbitrary bv the carriers over rates from Virginia cities and Atlantic Sea board was due to the existance of competition on the part of trunk lines, mainly the trunk lines lead ing from Virginia cities to the West, and of water 'competition on the Seaboard, lie testified that these rates were made by lines operating ii . Virginia territory and that Uh Southern Railway had to meet them on account of that ccmipelition. " He further tried to justify of the rates by reason of the fact that furniture was a commodity of con-idcrable bulk, and tjiat it required many more cars to han dle the ame amount of furniture traffic as compared with traffic weighing heavier and of great density. Manufacturers Make Out Case. The impression still still pre vails htat the manufacturers have made out a good case, and that the efforts of Mayor Fred X. Tate are thoroughly appreciated and highly commended in con nection will the working out of the case. Mr. A. W. Owen, general freight agent of ". the Southern Pacific Railroad and constituent lines Union Pacific, Oregon Short Line, Denver and Rio Grande, and Santa Fe, is here. At tending thejieanng. As we go to press Hon. E. J. Justice is cross examining Mr. Browder. One of the many striking questions that was asked Mr. Browder was that if all the furniture factories in High Point were to move to Lynchburg wouldn't they get a cheaper rate to .. Pacific coast points, and the witness was com pelled to admit this was true. The case will jlose this after noon. A full impart of the hear ing and a comprehensive view of it will appear in the Enterprise from time to time. NOTICE PASTORS.
