CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24. 1004. I§j> 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. J. R. Leaehman, 4th. John M. Davidson, Kingston. Win. P. tiaines, Cassville. James C.

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. WHITE PRIMARY FOR CITY ELECTION Executive Committee Appointed at Citizens Meeting Issues Call fora Primary and Prescribe Rules.

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.
