THE COTTON
OIL MILL.
Southern Cotton Oil Company Es
tablishing Plant in This City.
CAPACITY 20 TONS PER DAY
yVill Have Twenty-Five Employes
and be a Great Benefit to Town
and Community.
- ']
Viewed from a commerfial
standpoint, the new cotton .seed
oil plant being established by the
Southern Cotton Oil Company,
is one of the most important im
provements Cartersville has had
in a great while.
The plant will occupy a plat of
six acres purchased from Mrs.
Akermau and lying along the
Western and Atlantic railroad in
the south end of town.
There will be a number of build
ings and the works will make a
splendid show when finished.
The main building will be of brick,
52 by 100 feet, and will be sub
stantially constructed. The office
building will also be built of brick.
A seed house will be 30 by 100
feet and a hull house 32 by 100.
These will be frame structures..
The company is having its own
work done by the day. Messrs.
Bud Eaves and James Puckett are
superintending the brick work and
R. W. Smith the wood work.
Something like $25,000 will be ex
pended first and last on the con
struction work, an outlay of which
our community will get the bene
fit. The buildings are to be com
pleted by July 15 and the plant
will go in operation as soon there
after as an initial supply of seed
can be obtainec\
A spur track will be run by the
works, beginning at the north cor
ner of the T. R. Trammell lot and
running through the company’s
ground.
Mr. J. E. Field has been engaged
as manager for the plant and Mr.
William A. Hansell superintend
ent. The works will employ about
twenty-five hands when in full
operation. The capacity of the
mill will be twenty tous per day.
This enterprise will be a great
benefit to the town and community
and especially to the farmer, as it
will give him a capital market for
his cotton seed and he can exchange
seed at advantageous valuations
for outputs of the mill, such as
meal and hulls.
Aged Negro Hurt-
Anthony Smith, an old negro
man about 78 years old, was badly
hurt by falling under a moving car
at the depot Wednesday afternoon
of last week. He was emerging
from a car box and stepping to
the platform when a moving car
struck the one he was in with much
force. He lost his balance and
fell to the track and his leg went
under a wheel which gave it a rak
ing crush the long way of the
limb. No bone was broken but
the flesh was mashed to a pulp.
His cries for help before he was
rescued were piteous. He was car
ried to the office of the Doctors
Greene, where the leg was dressed
and the flesh skillfully stitched up
by Dr. Buford Greene. He is now
improving nicely.
Little Folks’ Picnic-
Among the number of pleasant
occasions of the past week was a
picnic given by the East Side Mis
sion Sunday school on last Thurs
day in the Harrison grove east of
the city. It was given for the
little ones who have attended the
school so steady and faithful, and
it is reported by each and every
one of them as being one of the
ruost pleasant and delightful occas
ions of the kind ever given. The
little ones gathered early in the
day for a day of pleasure and en
joyment. At twelve o’clock a
big dinner consisting of everything
nice was enjoyed by a hundred or
more, as was also the free lemo
nade furnished by the friends of
the school, which was in plenty.
Among the ladies of the school
who deserve a great deal of credit
and praise for their untiring efforts
in preparation of this grand feast
or the little folks are Mrs. Posted,
Ils - H. C. White, Mrs John
1 nppe. Mrs. I. M. Hightower,
Airs. A. C. Williams, Mrs. Will
THE NEWS AND COURANT.
Hudgins, Mrs. Sam Ray and oth
ers.
The East Side Sunday school
is known and recognized as one of
the largest and best Sunday schools
in Cartersville, and is gradually
growing larger and better each
year. Mr. Walter Akerman, who
was recently appointed supeiin
tendent of the school, is doing a
great deal towards building it up,
and has assured all that nothing
will be left undone that will either
be a benefit or pleasure to the
school. The school will still con
tinue to give its annual picnics
and Christmas trees, as has been
its custom.
Latest Fashion Notes
giri.s’ graduation dress.
Fagotting, a general term for
open work stitching of whatever
kind, fairly runs riot on the gowns
for summer wear, and a very dain
ty finish' it is, when properly ex
ecuted with Corticelli EE twisted
embroidery silk. A charming
frock worn at a recent girl school
graduation showed this pretty
stitching wherever an insertin ▼
was to be let into the crepe de
chine of which the frock was com-
posed. This design is not very
ornate, but of an elegant simpli
city. The skirt has the prevalent
panel effect the latter being en
tirely untrimmed. The fullness is
lightly gathered at the belt, and
the edge bordered by three rows of
Valenciennes insertings, mounted
with briar stitching in pale blue
Corticelli embroidery silk. The
blouse shows a vest effect, the con
tinuation of the skirt panel. The
sailor collar was composed of Val
enciennes inserting, and bias folds
of pale blue taffeta, joined by fa
gotting in blue silk. The hat
which completed this costume was
of pale blue chiffon with ostrich
tips of the same shade.

Received Severe Injuries About
Shoulders and Neck-
FOUR KILLED, OTHERS INJURED
H®ad Ena Collision on N . C. &■ St.
L.. at Summit, Twelve Miles
from Chnttanooga.
A fatal collision occurred on the
Nashville, Chattanooga railroad
last Thursday afternoon, about
three o’clock, at Summit, a small
station twelve miles above Chat
tanooga.
The Jasper accommodation,
which left Chattanooga at 2:4o,and
the regular mail train which is due
in Cartersville rt 5:49 came together
in a head end collision, through
some misunderstanding of orders,
smashing both engines and several
cars of each train.
Mr. R. L, Stover, of this city,
was making his regular run on the
mail car, and when the trains came
together he found himself buried
uuder the wreck. He could not
see anything but could move him
self on his hands and knees, and
crawled out from beneath the de
bris and gave information as to the
location of the other mail clerks,
both of whom escaped alive.
Mr. Stover has a severe injury in
his right shoulder and has bruises,
cuts and scratches all over his body
and limbs. He was carried to the
hospital in Chattanooga, where he
remained until Saturday morning,
when he was brought home. His
shoulder is still giving him a great
deal of trouble and is badly swollen
and black from the bruises. His
other wounds are healing nicely.
The trains came together at full
speed on a curve, and some of the
cars were thrown from the track.
Those killed in the wreck were:
George Rollins, engineer of the ac
commodation train, L. A. Rankin,
fireman of the accommodation
train; James Bernard, fireman of
the fast mail. About twenty were
injured among the passengers and
trainmen. A relief train was sent
out at once from Chattanooga with
several physicians on board. The
dead and injured were taken to
Chattano jga.
BEWARE OF CUPiP.
To Louise.
What is it you tell me, ‘my lovely?”
Would you fain have me believe
Ail of this glorious romance
That in love you are trying to weave ?
You think that you have been chaining
This god with a silken hair,
When you know he is beyond restraining.
Let him go while he seems to you fair
Laugh all the time he is wooing,
For, my word, it is a rapturous cheat;
His vows will prove his undoing
And are harmless, while laughter is sweet.
He will steal all your smiles, then smite you;
Meet the stroke with a smile, not a kiss,
For your heart was not made for a plaything ;
Hold it fast, for the rarest of gifts is this.
But you say he is sweet, beguiling;
You think now that he is fair;
But I warn you. my dear, ’gainst Iris smiling
The frown will come at last of despair.
For I see a shadow on a sweet face,
Where disappointment has left its sad trace—
A face so fair, though by love’s storm it has
been swept.
And eyes full of tenderness for the tears they
have wept.

to Miltcb county, Georgia. He

gia regiment, and servedjthrough
out the war. Afterward, in 1867,
he (came to Cartersville. He uni
ted with the Methodist Episcopal
church'in 1852, and has ever since

The social event of this week was
the beautiful wedding of Miss Louise
Purse, of this city, to Mr. Hoyt W.
Gale, of Brunswick, Ga., which was
solemnized Tuesday afternoon at four
o’clock at the Methodist church,
which was sweetly decorated with
ferns, palms, smilax and bamboo that
made a most effective setting to the
white gowned maids.
Their dresses w-ere particularly
lovely, being of white silk mull over
taffeta with green liberty satin sashes.
White picture hats were worn with
these costumes and they carried arm
bouquets of white carnations.
Miss Ruby Purse, sister of the bride
was her maid of honor and her beau
tiful costume was all white.
Mrs. R. J. Scott, an aunt of the
bride and matron of honor, was gown
ed in a sumptuous creation of green
crepe de chene with green hat and
carrying la France buds.
Just before the arrival of the bridal
party Mrs. Felton Jones sang “I Love
Thee,” by Temple, accompanied on
piano by Miss Mary Lu Wikle, after
which the first notes of Mendelshon’s
wedding march were sounded by Miss
Geneva Attawav who presided at the
organ and the bridal party entered
in the following order:
Mr. Eugene Whitfield of Atlantis
down the left aisle and Miss Hender
san of Cedartown down the right;
Miss Roberta Purse of Savannah down

very pretty and demure in the real
zation of her important role.

and in the altar and awaited the
bride who entered on the arm of her
father, Mr. John Murchison Purse,
and was met at the altar bv the groom
and best man, Mr. Howard Waff of
Brunswick.
The bride was beautiful in a travel
ing gown of castor etamine over
taffeta, fashioned with a vest of ex
quisitely embroidered rose medal
lions and with this was worn a superb
pearl pendant, the gift of the groom.
A handsome castor hat completed
this costume, which was extremely
becoming to the perfect brunette
beauty of the wearer. She carried
bride’s roses.
Rev. A. W. Bealer officiated at the
altar in an unusually pretty and im
pressive ceremony, after which the
party left the church to the strains
of Lohengren’s wedding march, sung
by a double quartet composed of
Mesdames Cunyus, A. B. and Felton
Jones. Misses “listelle Calhoun and

houn, John Calhoun and Paul Akin.
Mr. mill Mrs. tiale left on the six
o’clock train for Savannah to attend the
Hankers Convention, after which they
go to St. Simons Island where they will
spend the summer.
This was one of the prettiest weddings
our city has ever had, and that is say
ing much for Oartersville has had many
ot them ot finished anu elaborate details
There is always, too a peculiar charm
about a summer wedding and this of
Miss Purse and Mr. Gale possessed
that charm to ad gree which their
many friends hope will extend beyond
their wedding day into a long life of
happiness and prosperity Tile popu
larity of this couple was attested by the
many beautiful presents given them,
among them being a chest of handsome
fiat silver from the best man, a magnifi
cent cut glass punch bow. and pedestal
from Messrs. Watt, and many other
beautiful things.

week previous to the wedding, includ
ing M s* Roberta Purse, Savannah; Mrs.
k. .Scott, Atlanta; Miss Henderson,
Cedartown; Miss Caroline Shehan,
Atlanta; Miss Willie Mattie Gale, At-
Tanta, and Miss Henry. On Monday
evening Mr and Mrs. Purse entertain
ed the oridal party at their home after
the rehearsal at the church with a buffet
supper which was charming in its form
ality.
Mrs. H. E. Cary’s garden party on
Friday afternoon at six o’clock will un
doubtedly be a deligtulut occasion and
it is insisted upon that the guests come
promptly at the hour mentioned as it is
not a “gibble, gabble, gel” affair, but
one for which some little program has
been arranged aside from the pleasure
afforded in spending an nouror so with
tne hostess and guests of honor and to
which each one invited is to take a part.
Mrs. Cary is chairman of the House
hold Economics and Entertainment
Committee of the Cherokee Club and as
such sue has planned a series of social
affairs, one for each month lor the rest
of the summer. She is glying this gar
den indiyidually however to the
