SHOE STORE,
119 Forsyth St.
Has just what you want.
Mr. J. I. Hatfield, a practical saw mil
man formerly of Commissioner, Ga., but
now of Cordele, seeing tbe necessity of
some device for assisting the sawyer in
I giving signs to tbe setter of head blocks,
I etc., studied out aud had patented tbe
| following described invention:
[ This invention lias for its object the
provisions of a simply constructed and
effective indicating dovice, having a
series of keys to be manipulated by the
sawyer which operates a corresponding
series of properly marked indicator
plates to raise or otherwise exhibt one
or more of them at a time to indicate to
tbe bead block setter bow much to set
Will fl.j, t) tile head blocks for tho resultant cut or
HEW Jllr I width of timber.
Heretofore it lias been usual to call the
required set, which amid tho noise of
tlio machinery it is difficult to hear, and
is often misunderstood. Or to indicate
it by motions of tho fingers, which is not
reliable, and is open to possibility of
frequent mistakes by the sawyer and
misunderstanding by the head block
setter. In case of an inexperienced
hand having the setting of the head
blocks in charge it is very liable to re
sult in mistakes and blunders, and when
a mistake of this sort is made it is never
discovered until the cut of tiio saw is
made and often not till the whole stick
is sawed, thus resulting in the loss of
much lumber. Hut witli an Indicator,
such as tho accompanying cut shows:

Bifejffai JOHN.R. SHAW.
No mistakes can bo made by reason of
insufficient or indistinct directions, as
the plain and exact figures are marked
both upon the keys and upon the indi
cator plates. No mistakes can arise ex
cept from tbe carelessness or indiffer
ence of either the sawyer or head-block
setter, or both, and this is not likely to
occur. The using of this indicator does
away with the use of an extra hand or
two frequently, and it greatly facilitates
the cutting of lumber. The operation
of tbe device is plain. By pressing on
the key lever to which the indicator bar
is attached, the desired number will be
exhibited in plain view to thead-block
setter. If a set of a whole number and
a fraction is wanted, tho sawyer presses
down both of the dosirod keys at the
same time. And in pressing one or
more of the key levers it releases the
indicator plates of tho preceding sets.
This invention was patented May 5 of
this year, and is being manufactured by
tho Cordele machine shops for tho pur
pose of ’being introduced. Several of
them aro being used by different saw
mills in this section, and are giving en
tire satisfaction. They are doing all
that is claimed for them. As Mr. Ilat-
fied has other inventions on hand which
are occupying liis time in developing, he
offers tb sell tho patent right to manu
facture and sell this valuablo invention.
Manufacturers or others who would like
to get hold of a good selling and pretlta-
blo invention, would do well to corre
spond w ith the patentee, Mr. J. I. Hat
field, Cordele, Ga. i
Mr. Hatfield acted wisely in having
this invention manufactured by the Cor-
delo machine shop.
The substantial and perfect manner
in which this machine is executed, re
flects great credit on an institution of
Cordele which is supplying a long felt
want in this rapidly developing pine re
gion of Georgia. Inventors, mill men,
and others needing any manufacturing
done would find it to their interest to
sec what advantages the Cordele ma
chine shop offers before sending it off to
have dono. This shop is prepared to do
all kinds of manufacturing from a steam
engine down to a bracket. Ever since it
was started a few months ago, they liavo
been kept quite busy aud it is increas-
ng in popularity and Usefulness every
day. Besides supplying tho large de
mand at home for its products, it is fill
ing frequent orders from the surround
ing country and along tho various rail
road lines leading out from Cordele.
As specimens of its work, which may
be seen in. Cordele any day, I would
mention the iron front of tho “racket
store,” tho beautiful columns and other
iron work in Ihe “Suwanee Hotel” and
the roan holes for tho sowers.
The following list contains some of
the many things which they aro prepar
ed to supply promptly and cheaply as
can bo had elsewhere: All kinds of iron
and brass castings, steam pipes aud fit
tings, globe, check and angle valves,
beltings, Barry’s circular saws, Mintcr’s
saw tools, dressed lumber, moulding
and brackets. , ..
Special attention is given to plumbing.
This concern has ample capita! on
which to operate, bat its phenomenal
success is doe to the first-class men men
who are connected with it and whose
names are a guarantee of satisfaction
nnd success In their respective depart
ments. Mr. R. G. Tomlin, the presi
dent, is known far and \yide as one of
the most enterprising and successful
developers of Southwest Georgia. Some
of the good fruits of his labor can be
seen along the line of the Georgia
Southern railroad, where he operated
during tho early success of the Macon
Construction Company.
Mr. R. C. Harris, secretary, treasurer
and general manager, is a thorough ma
chinist, having been emp’oyed for a
number of years in the machine shops of
the Central railroad and as an engineer.
Besides being a practical, successful
business man he is a pleasant and high
toned gentleman. It would have been a
difficult matter to have found a more
suitable man to manage such a business.
Mr. B. F. Cawley, foreman of the ma
chine shop, is one of the best known
machinists of Macon. Cordele is proud
to claim this Christian gentleman and
his delightful family as citizens of Cor
dele.
Mr. R. N. Porter, an experienced and
skillful mechanic of Columbus, is in
charge of the fourdry.
The pattern maker is Mr. C. T. Pea
cock, formerly of Macon. The splendid
work turned out is due in a great meas
ure to his superior skill in designing
and making patterns for the shop.
Mr. B. F. Windham is at the head of
the wood working department where ho
keeps thing moving like clock work.
A visit to this plant would bo quite
interesting to persons who have* not
seen it.

Dr. Eldkicoe
Maj. W. L. Glessner is a World’s Fair
exhibit enthusiast. In reply to a ques
tion from a reporter as to whether ho
thought the general assembly would
make a appropriation for such a purpose
he said:
“Yes, but not such an appropriation
as was asked for by tho convention call
ed by Governor Northern, nor so large
a one as ought to,be made. I think that
convention made a mistake in asking
for so large a sum, for it gave the peo
ple an idea that a piece of extravagance
was to be indulged In. Neither do I
think the convention mado it clear that
an appropriation for such a purpose
could be constitutionally made.
“For theso reasons I find many mem
bers opposed to an appropriation who
would be glad to have an exhibit made
at Chicago, and some of them have of
fered to make liberal contributions to
ward making such an exhibit.
“I think that with $25,000 judiciously
expended an exhibt can bo made that
will fairly represent all tho resources
and industries of Georgia in such a man
ner as will attract general attention,
is not alone in a separate state exhibit
that Georgia should be represented.
There will bo general departments of
agriculture, horticulture, manufactures,
minerals, forestry, etc., and in all these
departments Georgia could bo represent
ed at little cost. Many individuals would
gladly contribute articles for compete
tion iu these various departments. C
“As showing how tho state could be
well represented at very little expense,
let mo givo you ono instance. A few
days ago the commissioner of agricnl
ture of this state received a letter from
tbe chief of the forestry division of the
World’s Fair, stating that it was his in
tention to erect a building for that di
vision to bo composed of woods from
tbe several states of the union, and he
requested that Georgia send him the
trunks of three different trees that
would best represent her lumber inter
ests. The cost of sending these three
tree trunks would be comparatively
small—I think the railroads would
transport them free—and Georgia wouh}
thus have a representation in tho build
ing, but Colonel Nesbitt has neither the
money nor the authority to procure the
trees and have them properly shipped,
and unless something is done Georgia
will be unrepresented in ono of her
greatest resources.
“As to the manner of securing tho nec
essary funds for making an exhibit I
think tho legislature should make an
appropriation to the department pf agri
culture for that purpose. If the legisla
ture fce\s that the state should not fur
nish the full amount, let them appropri
ate $10,000 or $15,000, which would give
the sta.o sanction to the exhibit, and
serve os a nucleus fund. With the
nucleus I tliind the balanco could bo
secured from tbe railroads, manufact
urers, lumber associations, land and
mineral companies, towns and individu
als. I do not think tliero can bo. found
any constitutional objection to making
this appropriation through tho depart
ment of agriculture, and certainly no
more appropriate channel could be
found. If it is constitutional to levy
taxes for tho support of the agricultural
department, and it unquestionably is, it
is also constitutional to authorize it to
make exhibits of tho natural rpsources
of tho state at such place and under
such restrictions as the general assembly
may deem to tho best interests of tho
people. It is merely conferring addi
tional powers upon an institution al
ready constitutional In existence—a
question of policy and not of law.
“While Georgia is porhapsas weli, if
not better known, than any of tho south
ern states, tho people abroad have no
conception of her natural and undevel
oped wealth; in fact, It Is not go
ing too far to say that very fow persons
at home realize it. Tho impetus such an
exhibition would give to the introduc
tion of foreign capital and to the devel
opment of our state is beyond calcula
tion.
Knowing, zys I do, the largo benefi
cial results that have resulted to other
states from making exhibits of their re
sources at these great expositions, I
feel extremely anxious that Georgia
should improve this, tho greatest op
portunity offered. 'Georgia has tho rep
utation of being one of the most liberal
and progressive of the southern states,
and I cannot but feel that her represen
tatives will maintain that reputation by
aiding her citizens to make a creditable
showing at the World's fair.”
