Canning Factory Stockholders to
The Company Will Name a Building
Committee and B;g;n Work, as the
Stock is Fully Subscribed—Depot
Contract May be Let Today—Other
Building News
(From Tuesday's Dally.)
The capital stock of the proposed
canning factory has been fully sub
scribed and the stockholders will
have a meeting this afternoon for the
purpose of naming a building com
mittee and to take such other steps
as may be uecessary in order to put
the project under way
The factory is to be built so as to
handle this year’s fruit and vegetable
crop, and it is estimated that it will
create a market for a vast quantity
of garden truck, such as tomatoes,
etc. The oldfashioned, small toma'
toes, will probably be in better de
mand than the large ones, which are
grown principally to snip. The com -
pany will also can sweet potatoes
and will handle five or six hundred
bushels a day for that purpose.
The factory promises to be worth
much to the city creating a great de
mand for large quantities of garden
truck, to say nothing of the money
which it will turn loose In wages.
To Build the New Depot
Superintendent O. M. Grady, of
the Georgia Southern and Florida
road, is expected In the city this af
ternoon on business in connection
with the new depot here. It is prob
able that the coiltract for the build
ing will be given out at once, though
no particular date was set for It.
Several contractors have ade bids
on the work and it is said that some
contractors will meet Mr. Grady here
this afternoon to take up the matter
with him. The depot is to
large brick structure and it is said
that the brick work alone, exclusive
of the furnishings for offices, etc.,
will cost in the neighborhood of $20,-
000.
Improvements in Bank Building
The Merchants Bank is planning,
tc make many extensive Improve*
'ments In their bank building, both
on the outside and on the interior
New tile, or marble, floors are to be
put in, and the building is to be con
verted into a modern bank building.
This structur^, when it was erected
•v.is one of the most up-to-date build
lngs In the city and it has held its
own very well even during the pe
riod of Improvements all around It.
The improvements which are con
templated will put the building again
in the front rank of modem struc
tures.
8ome Building Notes
Brick is being placed upon the
ground for the new steam laundry to
be erected, for Mr. A. C. ' Short,
near the Georgia Southern and Flor
ida depot. Machinery for the new
laundry has also been ordered and
will arrive as soon the building
can he completed to receive It.
The work of building the new
home for the Valdosta Door and Sash
factory, which was destroyed by fire
some weeks ago, is progressing satis
factorily. New machinery has been
ordered and the concern will be run'
ning again before long
STOKES SELLS INTEREST.
Messrs. Norman Buys One Third of
Southern Lumber Co.
An important business deal
made here Saturday afternoon by
which Mr. R. L. Stokes disposes of
his interest in the Southern Lumber
Company to Messrs. M. D. Norman,
J. B. Norman,. Jr., and John T. Nor
man. The consideration was about
twenty thousand dollars and is a
good interest in one of the best pay
ing enterprise* in Moultrie.
The Southern Lumber Company
operates planing mills and deals in
dressed lumber. They have a large
planing plant at Kingwoo.l, another
at Tonraine and another at Tifton.
The business has been owned by R.
L. Stokes A. Huber and J. D.
Stokes. Mr. R. L. Stokes has been
in charge of the Moultrie office, and
it is understood that he sells on ac
count of the condition of his health
The office work was too confining
to him.
The business has been in operation
for three years anl has paid well
from the very beginning.—Moultrie
Observer.
PROSTRATE NEGRO FIRED.
After Being Shot Down Himself he
Killed His Assailant.
There was a fatal shooting at the
still of J. E. Haddock & Company
near Doerun Saturday night. The af
fair was the outcome of too much
drluk and of jealousy. The negro
killed was named Jesse and was one
of the best hands on the place. He
was killed by another negro named
Will Carroll whom he had attemptei
to kill, and it is likely that the killing
was justifiable.
It seems that Carroll went over to
the home of “Jesse" and while both
were drinking they fell out over
some woman. As Carroll wag leav*
ing the shanty he was fined upon by
Jesse and shot down. He had a pis
tol but It was unloaded and he had
only one caftridge In his pocket but
he rallied and put his one cartridge
in his pistol and returning to the door
shot Jesse through the heart killing
him instantly.
No arrests have been made, and it
is not likely that any will be made

now. The advice from the country
is that there has been a very *ren

The cut of new boxes has not been
extensive. Operators, factors and-
exporters are awaiting the beginning
of the new season and for that rea

The Docket was so Full That Many
Cases Were Set for a Special Term
in April, but When Court Met
There Was Little to do—Railroad
Case Was Settled.
(From Tuesday’s Dally.)
The jury which was drawn for the
March term of the city court was
this morning discharged until the sec*
ond Monday in April, at which time
a special session will be held to take
up some matters that were crowded
over from the session that was to
have been held this week.
When the docket was being ar
ranged there was enough business
on it to keep the court busy for a
full week and many cases were
crowded over to the special term In
April Yesterday morning the out
look was bright for a, busy session
and jurors were chosen with a view
to keeping them at work for a week,
at least.
The first case on the docket, that
of W. T. Harris, of Quitman, vs the
Atlantic Coast Lin, a suit for dam
ages, was settled yesterday afternoon
In a conference between the attor
neys in the case. The exact terms
settlement were not learned,
though it Is said that Harris received
something like $1,600 for his injuries.
He claimed that a porter pushed him
from the train while It was running
and that he sustained serious injuries
i a result.
After this case was settled, It was
found that other litigants were not
on hand and several cases were dls*
missed on that account. Still other
cases were continued.
One or two small matters were tak
en up this morning and passed upon,
but the Jury was not given a case4
Judge Smith will hold a short crimi
nal session next Friday.
