“The legal unity of husband and

duality established. A wife is w. wife,,
and not a husband as she was lor-
merly. Legislative chemistry has
analyzed the conjugal unit, and it is
no longer treated as an element, but
as a compound. A husband can
make a gift to his own wife,.although
she lives in the house with him ami
attends to her household Unties, a-
easily as he can make a present to

THE PA i rKBHOV HRItIK WORKS.
Those who have not recently made
a visit to this plant cannot appreciate
the importance of this industrial en
terprise to our city and its value to
its enterprising owner.
Some two years ago Mr, L. F. Pat
terson began the manufacture of
brick in what is known as the Parker
pasture, and afterwards on the west
side of the river, at each of which
places tie made a fairly good brick.
In the meantime he was engaged in.
experimenting with samples of clay
from various localities with a view
to finding the very best material fw
that purpose. These experiments led
him to the discovery of an almost
inexhaustible source of' clay that
turns inn the finest brick manufact
ured in any locality south of Atlanta.
After sec.uviN^i titles to this valuable
deposit, Mr. Patterson formed a
partnership with Mr. T. A. Ausley
and proceeded to develop a plant
commensurate with the demands for
first class brick. The formation of
this day is somewhat peculiar, being
the work of suujessive freshets in
the river, backing the in iddy waters
from north Georgia up a slough in
the swamp and depositing their bur
den of fine clay upon the s irfaue.
This has been going on for centu
ries until a depth ol tin or more lent
has been deposited oil an area of
thirty-live or forty acres This clay
is now turning out a brick that has
no pquul in south or middle Georgia
and no superior in ’ the stale. Since
beginning operations the first of the
year, the firm has expended about
$12,00(1 in labor-saving machinery,
drying sheds, etc., so that, now tlu*
plant will lie able to meet the tre
mendous demand for its products.
The drying sheds cover an extensive
Hrort, so that the work of turning out
brick is never retarded by any con
dition of the weather.
A spur track has been built from
the Plant .System depot to the kilos
to facilitate shipments abroad. Thu
plant being located just above the
Fair grounds and near the- river
uiakes it convenient fur furnishing
the home demand as well as that, by
boats'up and -lo/.'n the river.
Recently Mr. Patterson has pur
chased the interest of his partner
and will devote his whole lime and
energy to the development of this
valuable industry. The present c*
pacity is a daily output of forty
thousand with a pay roll of about
thirty hands, which will be increased
constantly as Hie growing demand
continues.
uikd an -n cm viax.
Two sa-l deaths occurred at the
home of Mr. Alfred Chester near
Climax, on Thursday night of last
week.
Mrs. Chester, an agltd lady and
wife of Mr. Chester, had been ill with
fever tor some tiinu and Mrs. Mar
shall Dollar, her sister, had come to
visit her on the above stated night.
During the night Mrs. Dollar died
very suddenly of heart failure and
Mrs. Chester died a few hours later.
Trie remains were buried at 0;»en
Pond church the following day, a
large number of relatives and friends
being present.
They were both consistent mem
bers of the church. The Search Light
extends sj mpalnies to the bereaved
ones.
