A $25,000 KNITTING MILL
A HOTIE ENTERPRISE AND HO/TE CAPITAL —MR.
J. A. LASSETER THE PROHOTER.
It is an Assured Success.—A Majority of the Stock
Taken, and Subscriptions Coming in Rapidly
Every Day.
Last week we announced that a $50,000 cotton factory would be
put in operation so soon as the machinery could be had. This week
we are pleased to announce that Cordele is to have a $25,000 knitting
mill. Soon after the Sentinel was published last week, Mr. J. A.
Lasseter began to solicit subscriptions for a knitting mill. In less
than two days he had more than half the amount necessary, sub
scribed, and without much effort on his part. At present, there has
been subscribed $16,300, as the list below shows. Mr. Lasseter ap
prehends no trouble in securing the desired amount very soon, and
so soon as all the stock is taken, machinery will be purchased and
the mill put. in operation. This mill will give employment to quite
a number of bands, and will be in operation every month in the year.
The parties interested propose to use the entire capital in purchas
ing and equipping the plant, as a suitable building can be rented for
the present. They will turn out, all work usually gotten out by such
a plant. indeed well for all interested, and it is self-evident
This speaks a
fact that it is a paying investment. Bv the location of this plant
here with home capital, it will remain a fixture and be the means of
putting a great deal more money in our town. Not only this, but it
will be the means of other manufactories locating with us, which
will be equally as profitable and helpful.
Mr. Lasseter deserves a great deal of praise for his efforts to es
tablish this mill, and success is sure. With a$25,000 knitting mill
and a $50,000 cotton factory already a certainty ; with the probabil
ity of several smaller buildings being established in the near future,
we are bound to glow and prosper. We say hurrah for the “Magic
City” of the wife-grass belt. Following is amount of stock taken
up to date:
J. A Lasseter, $5,000; McKinney – Jones, $5,000; J. A. Littlejohn,
$1,000; R. L. Wilson, $1,000; A. Roobin, $1,000; Hind – Churchwell,

‘IT
didatos for legislativehonors. Col.
Fields, of'course, has HU ambition
to climb up higher ill the adini
ration of his people, and, there
fore, a laudible desire to repre
sent, Dooly county in the next
legislature. Fields
it As to my politics,”'Col.
began. “It seems to me that we
have been passing over the moviti
ranis anti legislating on the mole
hills We fill the statute books
with laws regulating and taxing
the little “two-by-four” farmers and
and ‘‘ten-cent” merchants
allow big corporations and com
bines to make their own laws and
consequently go untaxed. .1 be
lieve these unjust laws are im
posed upon us from one of two
prime causes. First,. Dishonesty
and infidelity in politics. Second,
ignorance. If a public servant,
makes a law that is contrary to
the interests of his people know
ingly, he commits a fraud; if
unknowingly,then it i- ignorance.
The result, in. either case is the
same.”
“Corporations are bodies cre
am! by man. Under the law t hey
stand on equal footing with man
for the purpose for which they
were created. Their only object
in life is pecuniary gain and
profit. They have no interest in
home, no society, and no such
thing as character to defend.They
are bodies without souls and know
no God. They are the greatest,
corrupters known to our political
system. They use every conceiv
able method to corrupt our law
makers. The first step the rail
road corporation mattes to control
our legislators is to give them a
transportation pass over their
lines. Members of the legisla
ture may not accept these passes
with evil intent,, but I firmly be
lieve that railroads give them for
TK-.dher purpose than to place
the acceptor under obligations to
them. If you would not yield to
temptation, then remove the
temptor afar off from you. A
corporation has no other object in
niew than to make money. Money
stained with the blood of the
widow and orphan is as greedily dol
sought after as is the honest
lar. Therefore remove all forms
of temptatious offered by these
corporations. i J of the
“1 don’t think the people
county desire any changes in our
courts. The grand jury seemed
to be well pleased with the county the
court. The sentiment in
county is against the city court
for Cordele, and I shall not favor
it.” As to chance of election, he
said:
“I believe that I will get a very
good vote in the county—I hope
enough to nominate me. I have
been raised in the county and the
people know me. Of one thing I
am sure, and that is, if the good
people of Dooly see proper shall to nom
inate and elect me I give
my every effort to serve them to
the best of my ability.”
