give up Pike Hutchins as he is a
young man of fine moral and busi

STATHAM CONTINUES TO
GROW, ONE MORE CITIZEN
AND ONE MORE GOOD BUSI
NESS FOR STATHAM.
Anew hardware store in the
near future. Mr. Harrison has
succeeded in getting associated
with him Mr. P. L. Hutchins of
Winder. Ha., for a number of
years leading clerk in the Wood
ruff Hardware Company, and one
of t he most progressive young men
of Winder Mr. Hutchins is not
only a good citizen hut an excel
lent hardware man, and numbers
his friends by his acquaintances.
Everybody in and around Stath
am knows and likes Pike Hutch
ins, and of course everyone in and
around Statham knows Mr. Harri
son. so it goes without saying that
the new Hardware store will he a
success.
I am informed that capital stock
has been arranged and same paid
in. In talking with these gentle
men. they say it is not their ambi
tion or purpose to he in competi
tion to anyone now in business in
Statham, hut to handle to a great
extent, a class of goods not car
ried by Statham Merchants, there
by supplying the missing business
link of Statham, believing that an
up-to-date hardware store will
cause more people to come to Sta
tham and being enabled to obtain
their hardware supplies here, tLev
v ill not go to other towns. This
will mean more business for every
merchant in our city.
This new firm will he a purely
Statlmm business, run by Mr.
Hutchins of Statham, and Air.
Harrison who is already a citizen,
and separate to all other business.
Mr. R. L. Woodruff, of the Wood
ruff Hardware Cos., will own some
stock in this new firm, placing
the two firms on a friendly basis
and connecting the interest, which
will give each an advantage in
buying, as the larger the con-
tracts and the larger (plantitiesin
which goods are bought, the bet
ter the prices that can be obtain
ed. When Mr. Woodruff was ask
ed if be had anything to say re
garding the new firm, lie smiled
and said “nothing at present, ex
cept lie maxi confess that some
times he feels a little jealous,
knowing Mr Hutchins' ability as
a hardware man. and Mr. Harri
son's disposition to make friends
lie feels that it will be some com
petition for bis Winder business
and that lie liad far rather have
Mr. Hutchins a little further off
il he wanted to look at it from a
selfish standpoint, but believed
Mr. Hutchins capable of holding
down the manager's job and mak
ing good, and further, realizing
that Statham is tlie largest town
in Georgia with a Hardware store,
caused him to decide rather than
to try to keep Mr. Hutchins in
Winder, that he would furnish
some money for bis business and
thereby lie able to continue to
share a dividend from his services,
and you ill ay say for me he con
tinued : “That Mr. Hutchins is
a good mail in every w ay you take
him. and I do not believe in hold-
mg a man down but rather help
him up and believing a chain of
stores being a help to each other
has caused me to arrange to help
these two splendid young men.
Mr. Hutchins has worked for
me a long time and I had rather
sec any other man leave my Win
der interests than he. hut am look
ing forward to a good business
that will he worth a great deal to
Statham, and in future days if
we all live I will pass through
Statham or some other good town
and will see a business man of
means and influence that 1 will be
proud of, and the community be
nefited. Mr. Harrison has his
friends, and his good sound busi
ness judgement, will make success
more certain in the new Statham
store. Mr. Hutchins will be a good
citizen, and all good citizens are
an asset to a town or community
and he is too broad and fair-mind
ed to try to steer a business in any
way except the high type route.”

The ease of Janie Wilder also to
be tried for the same offense will
be taken up as soon as the ease of

Judge Cobb called a special
term of court this week to try
these eases, for a crime we do not
care to air in The Times as it is
too revolting to be read by the
public.
