THE CORDELE DISPATCH, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1816
NEW SHIPBUILDING PLANT; —
MUNICIPAL DOCKS SAME DEAL
Brunswick, Oct. 27.—A special ses
sion of city council today consumated
the deal whereby Brunswick gets a
third shipbuilding plant, and a muni
‘cipal dock, at the same time. City
council purchased half the Bignon
’ property for a municipal dock and the
Joyce-Watkins company the remaining
' half for the site of a new ship-building
plant, which will immediately be in
corporated under the style of The
Carpenter-Watkins shipbuilding com
‘pany. ¢
. The Joyce-Wat’ s company, one
‘of the world’s lar;l;t dealers in cross
‘ties, handling eight to ten millions
annually, are engaged in the new
enterprise in order to provide ships
‘for their carrying and to sell. Mr.
iw. T. Watkins, of Chicago, the pres
ident of the big concern, has been in
the city for over a week, busy with the
agent here, J. P. Davenport, in the
interest of both his company’s busi
ness and the formation of the new
concern. His associate, S. J. Carpen
ter, is from New York, and is presi
dent of the Carpenter-O’Brien com
‘pany, big lumber dealers, and also
president of the East Coast Transpor
tation company. Capt. Lawrence, a
native of Canada, now residing in New
York, will be master ship-builder and
will be in charge of the local plant.
Capt. Lawrence states that he will
immediately bring skilled labor from
the north and commence work on the
local yards as soon as the preliminary
details are fixed and material secured.
* In the deal, the city also gets the
municipal dock, and the next session
of the council will, no doubt, see the
passage of the big appropriation, that
will bring Brunswick right to the
forefront of South Atlantic ports,
with the tlu‘ge big shipbuilding plants,
and the promise soon of sugar and
oil refineries along the water front.
WHEAT HITS $1.75; CORN, $l.OO
Chicago, Oct. 27.—The high cost of
living received a new impetus when‘
May wheat touched 1.75, almost 5
cents above the close Saturday. The
market, excited over bullish news,
opened more than 3c higher, climbed
a little, slumped back 11-8 cents, and
then started up again. Buying was
surprisingly strong and offerings cast
‘upon the market by profit-takers were
‘absorbed rapidly.
Not to be outdone, corn and oats
followed. Cash corn set high marks
when No. 2 yellow went to $1 and
$l.Ol and No. 2 mixed to $l. Oats
went up 2 cents.

MOONSHINE STILL
v IN CITY RAIDED
Macon, Oct. 27.—Desk Sergeant
Dave Riley and Patrol Driver Roland,
raided a moonshine still last night on
a small stream on the west side of
North Highlands, less than two miles
from the court house.
A small quantity of distilled beer
was confiscated, together with the
still. The operators escaped with the
exception of one mnegro, John Ford,
watchman, who it is said gave the
signal, causing the negroes of the still
to flee.
’WAR THREATENS TO BE FIGHT
AMONG MERE BOYS SOON
! London, Oct. 27.—The war threat
ens soon to become a struggle between
mere boys. The pace is said to be en
tirely too fast for the older men long
to endure.
It is declared here that next year
the llntente Allies will be facing boys
of 17 in the German army. :
General Sir Douglas Haig, com
manding the British expeditionary of
ficers, is said to have objected to the
sending out of men of middle age. He
wants yocung men of from 18 to 25. Af
ter the latter year it is said the fight
ing value of the human unit shows a
rapid and steady decline.
. The good soldier of today it seems
must be of the age which excels in
the more strenuous athletic games—
the football player type. The olderl
men have their place, but generally‘
speaking it is said now to be in “the
army behind the army,—the men
back of the line, in the supply and
transport divisions where the strain
is not so great. These older men are
too susceptible to trench disease to
be of great use on the firing line. ,
England already is registering boys
born in 1899, preparatory to calling
them up when they attain their eigh
teenth year.
STEAMER A TOTAL LOSS.
Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 27.—The steam
er Stackelee, which sank in the Miss
issippi river a few miles above Mem
phis early Sunday, is expected to be,
a total loss, according to the officials
of the Lee line today. More thanl
300 of the 1,015 bales of cotton aboard]
were recovered. The Stackele was!
built in 1902 at Jeffersonville, Ind..
at a cost of $7'5.000.
DANISH STEAMER HELGA SUNK.
London, Oct. 27.—Lloyds announces
that the Norwegian steamer, of 1,138
tons, and the Danish steamer Holga,
1,182 toms, have been sunk. Their
crews were saved. -

A motor only takes as much
eletericity as load it is pulling.
For instance a 100 horse power
motor pulling 50 horse-power
would only take 50 horsepower
of electricity and so on. The
nice thing about this is that you
can pull 100 horse-power if you
want to but you do not have to
pay for 100 horse-power of cur
rent if you are pulling less than
100 horsepower. Without plac
