CHANCE INDUSTRIAL
Cartersville Might Secure
New Enterprise.
A GOOD PROPOSITION.
Knitting Mill That is Under Condi
tions Admitting of Removal
to Favorable Locality-
Here is a chance for Cartersville
to get a knitting mill with a con
siderable pay roll. It is just such
enterprises as this which give em
ployment to people and pay out
cash that help to make a city
prosperous. Cartersville needs
this enterprise and can easily get
it.
Dear Sir: The writer is an ex
perienced underwear manufacturer
and has had recently placed in his
hands anew plant costing practi
cally $12,000 and capable of mak
ing ioo dozen garments daily of
women’s underwear. The enter
prise <vas started by local capital,
but a lack of necessary experience,
and the investment of insufficient
capital, has produced losses instead
of profits, and I came here to find
local capital indifferent to a degree
that makes another start impossi
ble.
The stockholders are willing,
however, to permit their interests
to become a part of a con
cern started jelsewhere, so I de
sire to move the plant elsewhere,
to some place where about
sl2 ,000 of stock will be taken to
provide means to finance the bus
iness, and thus make a fresh start
under conditions that promise suc
cess.
The mill employs some 30 or 40
girls and requires about 4500 square
feet of floor room and 15 or 20
horse power.
Can you suggest a place where
such an enterprise would meet
with favor?
Thanking you in advance for
your early reply, I remain,
Respectfully,
(Signed) E. H. Everett,
Sparta. Tenn.

EDUCATIONAL COMPLICATIONS.
—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
ROAD IS PARALLELED
Louisville and Nash\ille
in W. & A. Territory.
MARIETTA TO ATLANTA
Present Plans Probably Compre
hend Full Service in Paral
lel to State Property.
The L. & N. has practically got
the Western & Atlantic parallelled!
The public is already familiar
with the proposed extension from
White’s junction a few miles east
of Cartersville to Marietta.
It is now said by one of the L.
& N. people that the road will be
extended at once from Marietta to
Atlanta over the route which has
already been surveyed and located.
The announcement also comes
from other sources that the L &
N. will build- at once from Wet
more or some point on the new
line to Chattanoog,. If this is
done the E. & N. will have a
direct line from Chattanooga to
Atlanta and direct competition
with the W. & A. will be estab
lisned.
This entire line is supposed to
be in operation within a year.
SOME IMPROVEMENTS.
The East Side Building Interests Alive and
Looking Up.
Among the improvements being
made in Cartersville are two new'
cottages on Douglas street near
the east school building. Mr. J.
D McEver has just erected a neat
six room dwelling on a corner lot
recently purchased of Mrs. F, M
Ford from the beautiful four acre
tract south of her residence. It is
being painted and when completed
will be a most convenient and at
tractive home.
Mr. E- B. Matthews is building
a six room cottage on the same
street just opposite his brick resi
dence. It is needless to say that
when completed this will be one of
the most attractively finished and
perfectly appointed houses in the
city. Judge Matthews is noted
for his careful attention to details.
Although it is ouly about half
completed there have been no fewer
than seven applications for the
rent of it.
Mr. Forrest Scott has purchased
the lot adjoining that of Judge
Matthews, and we understand will
aiso erect a handsome cottage.
Many Deeds Filed.
Thirty deeds were filed in the
office ef the clerk of the superior
court Monday by the Louisville
Property Company, for theL. & N.
Railway Company, for parcels of
land in Bartow county, over which
the right of way of the line from
here to Wetmore is located.
The prices paid for this right of
way range all the way from one
dollar, which is the lowest amount
called for by any of the deeds to
sßoo, which is the largest. Some
[ thing over seven thousand dollars
srepresented by all the deeds.

WOFFORD WINS.
Former Prominent Citizen of Cartersyille a
Victor Amid Recent Landslide.
It is gratifying news to the Cir
tersville friends of Hon John W.
Wofford to know that he was re
elected criminal judge in Kansas
City by a majority of 1474 which
neat majority shows how strong
personally he is in his adopted city.
His friends rejoice with him in his
success.
Those of our readers who knew the
Honorable John W. Wofford the
brilliant lawyer, representative and
senator who lived untill near middle
life in Cartersville and represented
so ably this county in the legislature,
will never forget him. All will be
glad to hear of his continued sucess
in Missouri.
No one who knew his genial per
sonallity and commanding magne
tism will be surprised to hear that,
in spite of the republican avalanche
in the late election, Judge Wofford
was re elected on the Htli inst. to
the judicial possession in Missouri
which he lias filled for many years
past with signal ability. He seems
to have been the only Democrat in
Kansas city who was elected in the
recent contest. Previously it had
been the habit to elect all Democrats.
This year the tables were turned
I except as to Judge Woflord.
While the Republican candidates
were elected by majorities ranging
from 1500 to 2,000, Judge Wofford
was re-elected by the majority of
1474. This makes a difference of about
3,000 votes in favor of Wofford prob
able over that of any other Demo
cratic candidate.
The removal from this county of
the Honorable John W- Wofford was
a distinct loss to the state. But the
same attractive and brilliant qual
ities which distinguished him here
have made him none the less distin
guished in his western home,
OUR POST OFFICE.
May Be Raised to Second Class —Large
Growth of Business,
The Cartersville post office may
soon be raised to the second class.
This will mean much foi Carters
ville and the improvement of the
postal establishment here. The
cash receipts of Cartersville office
have grown steadily for the past
few years at the rate of about one
thousand dollars a year. This is
an increase of about firty per cent,
for each succeding year. The re
ceipts for the present year, will be
between eight and niue thousand.
When the total receipts passsß,ooo
it is {the custom of department to
raise such offices to the second das-,.
This means a substantial increase
in the salaries of the postmaster
and his staff and it also means the
employment of more help and th
better equipment of the establish
ment. If the present rate of in
crease keeps up the Cartersville
office will reach SIO,OOO receipts
during the next two years. This
will give Cartersville city delivery.
Marietta will have city delivery by
Februrary Ist, next. City delivery
is a great convenience and it is
sincerely hoped that the possibility
for securing it may soon come.
