this place hut now of Anniston,
has been engaged by Vice Presi
dent N. 11. Swayne to take charge
of the Alabama and Georgia Iron
Company’s big foundry and ma
chine shops.
Mr. Kilgore has been for some
years the superintendent of the
Southern Car and Foundry Shops
lit Anniston, and is an expert
foundrynian. Mr. Swayne is de
termined that this branch of the
iron company’s business—like the
output of their furnace—sluilfbe
second to none iu the South, and
he has made a fortunate selection
in Mr. Kilgore.
The company has put in a lino
new steam shovel at its Grady
mines, and is chnnging its pipe
line there from a (1 to an 8-inch,
pushing the work as rapidly as
possible,
The furnace has gone out of
blast for about a week, to permit
of some alterations in the brick
work of the hearth. The work
is being rushed, day and night
forces being kept constantly at
work.
The Alabama and Georgia
made a splendid record in 1DIH),
and its prospects are even brigh
ter for 1001. Every ton of iron
in the yards is sold for future de
livery, and extensive orders are
coming in.
This important industry is
prospering under Mr. Swayne’s
efficient management, and the
steady demand for high grade
iron will continue to give the old
“Cherokee” a constant and profit
able market.

rejoice at his stinging and over
whelming defeat at home.
