PUIS MATURED
FORCEMENT PLANT
Work on Buildings to Begin Within
Next Thirty Days-
PRESIDENT DORWIN TALKS.
j. M. Stephens and J. S. B Thomp
son, of Atlanta. Are Chosen
Trustees for Stockholders.
Atlanta Constitution.
President W. E. Dorwin, of the
Georgia Portland Cement Com
pany, which is preparing to erect a
*1,500,000 plant near Rockmart,
Ga., yesterday gave out an inter
esting statement as t 6 the plans of
the company which have just been
matured.
The Georgia Portland Cement
Company will, within the next
thirty days, begin the erection of
its plant for the manufacture of
1,000 barrels t of Portland cement
daily. A number of the leading
citizens of Atlanta are interested
in this company.
Colonel W. E. Dorwin, presi
dent, and John R. Scott, vice pres
ident and general manager of the
company, both of Chicago, are at
the Piedmont, and speaking of the
enterprise said:
“This location was brought to
Mr. Scott’s attention by Colonel
W. P. Laramore, of Cartersville.
and when upon investigation it was
found that not only was the rock
and shale near Cartersville of the
very best, for the purpose of mak
ing a high grade of Portland ce
ment, but the quantity was inex
haustible. the necessary land was
secured and a company organized.
The company now has two sites
near Cartersville, and an effort was
made by the company, assisted by
the citizens of Cartersville, to lo
cate the factory at that point, but
owing to the fact that the raw
material of such an enterprise is so
heavy and bulky to haul this had to
be abandoned, and the works will
be erected right on the land con
taining the deposits of rock and
shale.”
The company which Mr. Scott
and Colonel Dorwin organized is
capitalized at $1,500,000. The
financial plan is unique and is con
sidered one of the fairest ever de
vised. Every purchaser of prefer
red stock of the company receives
a cement certificate which will buy
him an amount of cement equal in
value to tne full amount of money
paid for the stock.
. ATLANTA MEN TRUSTEES.
In Atlanta the principal offices
of the company will be located for
the present and during construct
ion of the plant, and through this
city, by reason of its Ipcation and
impo tance as a distributing cen
ter, -the product will be handled.
The affairs of this large enterprise
will be managed by a board of
trustees, of which board James M.
Stephens, of Atlanta, is chairman,
and J. S. B. Thompson, of Atlanta,
and John R. Scott, of Chicago, are
associate members. The Lowry
National bank has been selected as
the depository in Atlanta, and the
business of the company will be
transacted through that bank.
The factory will be built and
operated directly under the super
intendence of A. G. Carlson and
John S. Davis, of Chicago, both of
whom were formerly with the
Sandusky Portland Cement Com
pany. Mr. Carlson and Mr. Davis
occupied the positions of superin
teudent and head chemist, respect
ively, with the Sandusky company
and were at the Indiana works, the
largest works that company oper
ates. The results attained at the
Indiana works while these gentle
men were employed there are almost
without parallel in the cement
world. Mr. Scott was also with
the Sandusky company at the
Indiana works and left them to go
into business for himself. Mr.
Scott is a southerner by adoption,
having married Miss Mary I.
Weatherford, daughter of the late
Captain William Weatherford, of
Eey West, Fla., and has lived in
Jacksonville, i la., where he served
the city as architect in 1894 95.
He speaks in the highest terms of
this section and especially of Car
tersville, and believes there is a
great future for that city in the de
velopment of her many natural ad
vantages, not least of which is the
wonderfbl Etowah river water
power, which was developed in
THE NEWS AND COURANT.
1857 By Major Mark A. Cooper, an
uncle of the present secretary of
the Atlanta chamber of commerce.
The rights for this development
have been purchased by Mr. Scott,
Colonel Dorwin and associates, and
the development will begin at an
early date.
ANOTHER FINE ATTRACTION.
Rogers-Grlliev Recitals Last of Ly
ceum's Events.
The large audience that greeted
the Chicago Glee Club at the opera
house last Monday night were
thoroughly delighted with the high
class and meiitorious entertain
ment. The programme was unique
as it was bright, and every catchy
feature .tvas applauded. The sing
ing of the quartette was about the
finest ever heard here and the read
ings of Miss Cochrane stamped her
as the possessor of the very high
est order of talent.
The next and the last of the
lyceum’s attractions promises to be
equal at least in merit to the one
Tuesday night, while to some u
kill be even more pleasing, as there
are those who prefer instrumental
to vocal music and there is some of
that of the finest kind thrown in
the program.
The Rogers-Grilley recitals have
captivated the people wherever
they have been given. They will
furnish the event at the opera house
tomorrow night week, April 3.
The character Trcpreseusentations
are extremely funny while the
other tenditious are excellent. Al
together it is a fine entertainment
and one that nobody wants to mis*.
The present lyceum course has
been a great success and the peo
ple have shown their appreciation
of the efforts of the ladies manag
ing it by extending a liberal pat
ronage bo'h in the purchase of sea
son tickets and regular admission
tickets.
The high class of the entertain
ments has helped to further elevate
the tastes of the amusemet public,
and makes more certain the suc
cess of all future efforts on that
line.
This being the last entertain
ment, and one of the best ought to
be welf**patromzed. Those hold
ing season tickets can have them
reserved and the sections and row
can be marked on them, as this is
the last time they are to be used.
Usual prices for general admission
will obtain.

Burglary at Cass Station-
Burglars entered the store of
Walton & Pittard, at Cass Station,
last Sunday night and carried
atvay a lot of their goods, mostly
shoes.
Entrance to the store was effect
ed through a window which was
fastened with an iron bar. This
was forced off by the use of a crow
bar, an augur and other tools,
some of which were left in the
store.
A neighboring merchant was
awakened by the noise and fired
two shots at the fleeing forms as
they ran off, but without apparent
effect.
It is not known what the burg
lars secured, but quite a lot of
goods are missing, and tio clue was
left by which to trace the robbers.

LARCE YIELD
OF COTTON.
Capt J- J. Conner Reports on His
Premium Acre-
MADE ONE AND A HALF BALES-
Mode of Cultivation. Fertilization
and Yield on One Acre of
Cotton in Barlow
Editors News and Courant:
The Stilesboro Agricultural club
has a system of obtaining the high
est production which can be
obtained from one acre of cotion.
corn, wheat, oats, etc., per acre by
offering a premium to the member
who can report the highest yield
from one acre at the end of each
year. For obvious reasons the re
port in the yield of cotton for last
year was not made until last Sat
urday, at which time the reports
were filed and the premhim award
ed to myself. After cbnsideriug
the report made by myself the club
requested that I furnish the News
and Courant a statement of the
acre devoted to cot on with respect
to preparation, fertilization, culti
vation, etc., together with the re
sults in yield for publication. It is
with pleasure that I comply with
that request as follows:
For the year 1901 I turned that
acre of ground as deep as a first
class pair of mules could pull a
No. 20 steel beam Oliver Chilled
plow. I then laid off the rows
four feet with a long scooter and
a pair of Johnson wings making
deep trenches for the rows. I then
had those trenches filled to over
flowing'with wheat straw from a
pile which had gone through the
winter rains. Upon this wheat
straw I listed with a two horse
plow Then after finishing the
beds I planted the cotton adding to
the wheat straw 600 pounds of a
10-2-2 commercial fertilizer. I did
not keep the yield of that acre
separate from my other cotton tor
the year 1901 and therefore can
not say with accuracy what the
yield was that year, but would say,
I am satisfied it was not less than
a heavy bale.
In the spring of 1902 I turned
the ground again as de°p as it
could-be done with a pair of mules.
I then laid off the rows four feet
wide with scooter and Johnson
wings. After this I put upon the
land broadcast 1,000 pounds of an
8-2-2 commercial fertilizer. Then
I ran into the rows with a manure
distributor two two-horse wagon
loads of stable maure. Then I
listed omthe rows with scooter, and
right hand Johnson wing. Then
into the listing*furrows I put four
two-horse loads of stable, manure
with the manure distributor and
completed the beds as usual. I
planted the cotton about April 25th
and put right under the seed with
a Gaut feitilizer distributor 400
pounds of a 10-3 3 commercial
fertilizer. The cotton came
go@d stand and when the usual
size for that purpose I chopped it
out from 18 to 25 inches in the
drill leaving one plant in a place.
The additional work done on the
cotton was about as usual. When
I picked the cotton I weighed it as
picked and when the picking was
finished the sum of the pickings
made 2,317 pounds of seed cotton.
As it is well known to the peo
ple of Bartow county last year
was perhaps, as uufavoralfle for
the production of cotton as any
ever witnessed in this section of
Georgia. The weather was so dry
and hot that at times it looked as
though no cotton at all could be
produced in this section of the
country and with these adverse
conditions the yield from my pre
mium acre more than met my most
sanguine expectations. Indeed, I
am thoroughly satisfied that if the
seasons had have been normal my
yield from that acre would have
been three instead of one and one
half bales. Respectfully.
J. J. Conner.

STRUCK WITH A SHOVEL-
Mr. Joe King Deals Violent Blows
on Mr. Ed Johnson.
An unfortunate difficulty occuir
ed in the road near Walesca last
week, between Ed Johnson, a well
known young man whose home is
at Pine Log, in this county, and
Mr. Joe King, a young married
man, living in Cherokee.
It is said a request to stay all
night at the home of King being
refused to Johnson, led to an
unimosity which the latter pro
ceeded to affirm the next day while
King with others was working the
road. King endeavored to explain
the matter and requested that it
be dropped, when Johnson, seem
ingly dissatisfied, made a move
ment as if to get out of his buggy.
King set upon him with a shovel,
striking Johnson three times. One
of the licks being on the head cut
a terrible gash several inches long
behind the ear.
Mr. Johnson was taken to Pine
Log where he is lingering in a very
critical condition.
Both Johnson and King have
many friends among whom the
affair is greatly regretted.

A LEADERSHIP
THAT LEADS.
Leads in increasing business-
Leads in business keeping.
Leads in quality giving.
Leads in style selling. ,
Leads in price making.'
A leadership that has been recognized and endorsed by the great buy
ing public, makes this pre-eminently the greatest distributors cf Dry
Goods, Clothing, Shoes, Hats and Millinery in Bartow county.
Cold weather has no longer to run; and spring merchandise is not only
needed, but selling at a rapid rate—greater than ever before—and while the
scarce and novel fabrics are here we advise purchases. Already some lines
have been entirely closed out, and duplicating at same price is impossible.
There is special offerings in every department—line very complete—but
this week specially offer a. sale in Silks, Ginghams, Novelty Wool Dress
Skirtings, Fancy Hosiery, Men’s Tailored Suits and China and Jap Mat
tings, in either of which you'll miss values should you fail to purchase.
Just now don't pass or overlook the new Embroidery arrivals. Of
course we have bought new designs each season, but the newness is more
apparent this year—changes radical—effect distinctly original.
Millinery Opening
Will be Tuesday and Wednesday, April 7 and 8, and every day thereafter.
In the meantime you can see and*purchase any hat you wish, or have an
ordel*promptly executed for any special desire 01 need. You will find sur
prises in the Millinery corner—a department far in excess of any former
Cartersville effort.
You have an invitation to visit us (we have tried to mail an invitation
to every one), if you do not get one it is because we cannot remember every
name, but remember, we want your inspection and criticism.
Our store is organized for a perfect service, and while we cannot possi
bly be perfect, still out of hundreds of purchases made, ninety nine find no
cause for complaint.
We Want Your Trade*
We Give You the Best.
