Mr. Panl D. Bangh, who has been elected Secretary and Treasurer, is a son of Hon. Daniel Eaugli, and is a popular and capable yonng gentleman who will make a highly successful busi ness man. This new $100,4100 industry is a great acquisition for Cedartown. The Jose phine will spin its own yarns and will manufacture four hundred dozen units of underwear per day. It will employ a large force of skilled laborers, who will be_welcesieadditions to onr ranks of iterial is being delivered on the site of the new factory at a rapid rate, and it will be pushed to completion as quickly as possible. And within a few weeks time the Josephine Mills will’be busily engaged in transforming raw cotton into the finest of underwear. tber impor- idded to the list of Weiiartown. This mill is especially important to all our people in that home .people and home money are interested in the en terprise. It is inside the. city limit,and pays city as welt as county taxes, hay ing never asked for any bonus or con cessions. Every citizen should, be its friend and stanneh supporter. The farmers of Polk county especially should see that the mill is a snccess. This mill will pay the market price for cottonseed, and certainly onr farm ers and ginners should give the Cedar- tiwn mill all tlieir seed. The cotton oil trust is already trying to embarrass the new enterprise by jockeying with those who have seed to sell. If the Cedartown. mill should be driven out of business, the trust would then pay just what it pleased for cotton seed and onr farmers could then whistle for a convenient market for this farm prodnct. The Cednrtown mill is certainly a well-equipped plant, and is going to do a splendid business. All that it nerf to insure its snccess beyond a doubt, is the hearty support of all our people, farmers, ginners, business men, and laborers generally. A BIG HAUL.

The constant holding of court during the hot weather in the other counties of the circuit has been very bard on the Judge’s physical endurance. His ill health, together with the fact that several of our local attorneys were interested in the Tom linson case this week in Cartersville, caused the adjournment. A great deal of work has been dis posed of thus far at this term of court, and there have been some lengthy and bard-fougbt cases tried. The damage suit of Sbiilett vs. the City of Cedartown, which was carried by the plaintiff to the Supreme Corn t and a new trial secured, was re-heard. The jury rendered a verdict in favor of the city, which was represented by San ders & Davis. The plaintiff was repre sented by Fielder & Mnndy. The case of Phillips et al. vs. Lowther was hotly contested. The plaintiff was represented by Messrs. J. M. Neel and J. B. Conyers, of Cartersville, and the defendant by Messis. W. C. Bunn and F. A.

Mr. Adam son fears that a ohange of administra tion would produce at least a temporary cessation of industrial development—a period of waiting to Bee what would turn up,—and so conditions his plans on Mr. McKinley’s re-election. Mr. Adamson has the plans well In hand for the big export mill, of which nave -also spoken before, but which he says is also conditioned on the out come of the election. He also has plans for other important industries well un der way, which will mean much to Ce dartown. From the Spinners’ meeting in At lanta yesterday Mr. Adamson has gone to Philadelphia, bnt expects to be home (.gain shortly. He says that Cedartown i^by far the best known in the North of any Southern town, and that the advertisement — “Keep yonr eyes on Cedartown” — which the Cedartown Company has kept standing -in several prominent papers, has helped to direct inquiry in this direction. Cedartown is “all right,” and for th ; s happy condi tion is largely indebted to Mr. Adam- MASS MEETING TOMORROW. A terrible storm swept over Galves ton, Tex., Saturday, driving the waters of the Gulf over the city arid completely inundating it.
