TWENTY COAL OYENS
The Rome Iron Company Will Born
Their Om Char Coal,
EACH WILL HOLD 55 CORDS WOOD
Increasing Difficulty In Securing Coal
Prom Burners Over Country Cause
Them to Furnish Own Charcoal.
The Rome Iron Company will burn
their own wood coal in the future.
Work has already begun on twenty
new coal ovens, and as soon as they
are completed they will buy no more
charcoal.
The furnace of this company in New
Rome, near Mobley Springs,is turning
out an average of 60 tons of fine pig
iron every day, and recently have had
some difficulty in securing the four
car loads of charcoal necessary for use
eviry day.
These ovens will each bold 55 cords
of woods, and the material—green
pine preferably—will be shipped here.
It will take >OO,OOO bricks to build
the 20 ovens. The work w ill be done
with day labor and not by contract.
It is a notable fact that during the
two or three years of financial string
ency thief urnacenever ceased one day.
While other great iron furnaces lay
idle, this one continued to turn out
pig every day.
When the new coal ovenejare com
pleted the Rome Iron Company will
have one of the biggest and beet
equipped plants in the south.
Such opportunities come to
a man about once in a life

THE RANDEGGER RECITAL.
A Strong Endorsement From Hughes
Reynolds of the Brilliant Pianist.
To the Editor of The Tribune:—
Lovers of music should not miss the
opportunity to hear the Randegger
recital at the opera house next Friday
evening. Signor Randegger is a native
of Naples, and has lived in Atlanta
for the last two years. Os late he has
been attracting a good deal of atten
tion in his recitals in Augusta, Macon
and Atlanta. He displays an almost
complete tenique, which combined
with the entense feeling of Southern
Italy makes his music a rarer treat
than we often have the pleasure of
hearing in Rome.
The writer has heard him several
times and promises a treat to all who
go. Hughes Reynolds.

OUR GREAT STORE
To Remain in Rome.
Great Is the Hill City.
Mrs. Myrick writes in the Americus Times
Recorder as follows:
A recent visit to the beattiful Hill City of
Georgia fully demonstrates to us what man-'
ufactories and diversified commercial indus
tries will do for our Southern towns and
cities. Rome, the beautiful city of Rome, to
enter her gates is to be made at home, and
today this thriving city with, her 16,000 hos
pitable people, is the most progressive in
all Georgia.
And yet if one reads the advertisement of the Rome merchants they will
see that this progressive city will soon be without any of its great stores
except perhaps one other besides *
