AT THE-—,
TAIL END
OF A JOB
The material sometimes runs
short. Painters who are in the
habit of estimating for Pure Lead
and Oil work, find, when the
HORSE SHOE BRAND is used,
they have considerable Paint left.
The HORSE SHOE BRAND is
a combination of Zinc and Lead.
It’s the Zinc that makes it go
further.
Zinc carries more Oil than Lead.
“Oil is the life of Paint.” Lead
alone does not carry euough Oil
and always “Chalks.”
The Zinc supplies the lack of
Oil, makes the Paint spread further
and stops the chalking.
The two pigments make a better
Paint than either alone; both
should be pure, of course.
We guarantee that, and prove it
by chemical analysis.
The HORSE SHOE means the
best in Paints. It’s the top
of excellence.
It’s all Paint, all pure, and no
worry.
You may go further, but you’ll
only get tired.
There’s nothing better possible.

The casual passer by on the rail
road or wagon road, though readily
attracted by what is now to be
seen, does not comprehend the
vastness and importance of the new
cotton mill now going up in the
northern suburbs of Cartersville.
It takes the statement of the pro
jectors themselves to properly in
form one of what this great enter
prise is to be.
The work is now under good
headway and the first of January
will probably see the main structure
roofed and ready for the machinery.
Side buildings, such as storage
house, dye houses, engine house,
office, etc., will be well finished
aiso by that time.
Twenty houses for operatives
are now in advanced course of con
struction and twenty more are being
begun,
Mr. W. M. McCafferty, of the
company who has had charge of
the work, since the location was
first made, is pushing it with all
needed vigor, but having an eye to
the enduring character of what is
done. The idea of permanency
seems to attach to everything.
The pay roll for labor alone now
reaches SI,OOO per week, even on
the construction work, and there
are outlays in other ways, such as
for material, etc. This makes a
snug sum that is distributed every
week in the community. Mr.
McCafferty has adhered strictly to
the policy of giving preference to
the people of the community in
employing help and purchasing
material. Many farmers are find
ing work for their teams that
otherwise would have to be idle.
Mr. McClain has spent a great
deal of his time here since the

work begun. Both he and Mr.
McCafferty express themselves as
more than delighted with their
location and feel that no finer could
be found in the south and they in
| vestigated considerably before
finally making a decision. It is
i by no means a preposterous asser
tion to say that this vast plant
when finally established will be the
largest and most complete cotton
mill plant in the south. It will be
an altogether ideal mill, Factory
men have spoken of the fine charac
ter of the work as evidenced by
what is started, as foolish or ex
travagant, but these gentlemen say
they have come here to stay and
they have gone too far already to
change their plans if they desired
to, which they do not.
The location consists of about
five hundred acres of ground strad
dling Pettit’s creek and also taking
in Nancy’s creek. Both of these
stieams can be utilized for a water
supply. The Judge Akin farm,
on which the plant as at present
contemplated is located, is a pretty
eminence, with admirable drainage
possibilities and all essentials to
the health of operatives. The main
building now under way is being
built'of the best brick to be had
and selected lumber and the work
is of the most solid, substantial
character. It is to be 300 feet long
by 125 feet wide. When this
building is finished another of the
same proportions is to be built at
the south end and adjoining it.

The whole place will be a model
factory town. The houses are
budt for comfort as well as endur
ance, and are well underpinned,
storm sheathed and plastered, and a
striking departure from common
methods has been made in making
the houses different in plans, no
two, in tact, being alike, and these
are to be painted in varied combi
nations, thus relieving the custom
ary tedium to the sight when all
the houses are built alike. In fact
the place will have the appearance
of an ordinary village. To this
end also eyery plan will contribute.
There is to be a church, a library,
macadamized streets, with curb
stones like the cities, with a perfect

that, to assure perfect healthfulness
the drinking water will be supplied
by the city water works, which will
have to be extended for the pur

such is self-evident.

AMONG NEGROES
KILLINGS OCCUR.
Three Tragedies in County and
Section Saturday Night,
IN WHICH BLACKS ARE VICTIMS.
William r Moore Shoots William Hill
Henry McCaniel, White, Shoots
Negro-Woman Killed at Grady.
Last Saturday night three kill
ings occurred in this section in
which negroes were the victims.
On the farm of Mr. Joel Conyers,
near Stilesboro, William Moore
I killed William Hill. A lot of cot
l ton pickers had a sort of bachelor’s
1 hall on the place, and Saturday,
learning a whisky wagon was to
be around, they gathered for a
frolic. Between 10 and 1 x o’clock
they were pretty well loaded. Ac
cording to the witnesses, Einmett
Moore and William ill got into a
quarrel, the former claiming the
latter owed him a quarter and the
latter denying it, as some of the
crowd testified. When about to
clinch Sid Moore ran between the
two men to separate them, and wil
liam Moore,the third Moore brother,
fired, the ball entering the heart of
Hill. Hill, it is claimed, cursed
Moore and started at him with a
knife. A knife was found in Hill’s
hand.
The coroner’s verdict was to the
effect that Hill came to his death
by a pistol shot through the heart
from William Moore, and that the
same was murder, and Sidney and
Emmett Moore were accessories.
It has since been discovered that
there was a Hck on the skull of the
dead negro, which puts anew face
on things,and may finally bringout
a very ugly case for all the negroes.
It is evident there was both drink
ing and gambling, as money was
found scattered around the floor.
William Moore ran away after the
killing, and the other negroes left
the house, locking the door with
the dead man in there. The hole
made by the bullet was as large as

a silver dollar and the clothing was
powder burnt.
At the house of Will Dofcle, a
negro, on Mrs. McDaniel’s farm at
Pine Log, Mrs. McDaniel’s son,
Henry, a young man about 31
years of age. shot and killed a ne
gro named Henry Lokey. Lokey
made threats against McDaniel,
accompanied with oaths and im
precations, and drew a long knife,
whereupon McDaniel drew a pis
tol, which Will Dobbs caught
hold of and said he wanted no row
in his house. The two men went
to the yard, and firing soon began.
Lokey was hit tnree times, and
died at once from his wounds. The
origin of the dispute between the
two men was not shown in the tes
timony. The coroner’s verdict
was to the effect that the negro
came to his death by three pistol
shots by H. E, McDaniel.
The body of Laura Rowland,
colored, was brought here Sunday
and turned over to her sister, the
wife of Chas. Solomon. She was shot
and killed in a melee at 1 o’clock
Saturday night, at Grady in Polk

home in Cedartown for the past
several years, won the six-hundred
dollar piano offered by the Atlanta
News in its guessing contest. The
Cartersville friends of Mr. Turner

luck.
