WORK or BUILDING - TO 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.

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 —Moultrie Observer.

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.
