PROFITS FOR FIRST NINE MONTHS BRANTLEY NOMINATED BY ACCLA-
NEARLY EQUALS CAPITAL STOCK.
Superintendent McGee lies just
issued a statement to the Linard
of Directors o£ the South Allans
tic Car and Manufacturing Co.
The report is remarkable, iu that
it shoves a net profit for the
first niue months of the car fac
tones operations of £09,591,47.
The report was read at a meet
ing of the borad of directors held
last Monday afternon. The actual
paid'in capital stock of the-«om
pany when it began operations
was only $97,000, aud the direc
tors haye decided to increase the
stock to $125,000 for the purpose
of purchasing additional niachin
ery and enlarging the plant. The
.company has already purchased
additional land for the enlarges
ment of the plant, and it is their
intention to increase the capacity
of the plant to ten cars per day.
Probably until after the presi
dential election the factory will
run under a reduced force, but
the iron and nrass foundry, the
machine snops and the wood
working department will con
tinue In full force, as orders for
castings, bolts and other work is
received almost daily from the
small railroads throughout this
section. The wood-working de-
partment is also supplying large
quantitiesof lumber in YVaycross
and neighboring towns for build
ing purposes. Small orders for
carfare a'so receive I every few
days, which necessitates the
almost continual labor of a num
ber of car builders.
The cars furnished by the
Way cross factory to the Mexican
Nacional Railroad and the At
lantic and. Birmingham have
given great satisfaction, and
there is no doubt in the miuds of
the officers of the factory that
Waycrost can successfully com-
pete with any of the other car
factories, both as to the quality
of work and the price.
One nt the directors remarked
to the Herald yesterday that they
were greatly pleased with Mr
McGee’s management of the
factory, and that “we could
search the country over with a
fine tooth comb, and could not
find a better man to superintend
the works. 1 '

THEMSELVES.
TEXAS AFFIRMS.
The Congressional cove .tio.i
for the Eleveuth Georgia district
was called to order by Col J. C.
McDonald, district chairman,
promptly at 10 o’clock in Bruns,
wick yesterday morning. Judge
Sparks was chosen temitorary
chairman, and Mr. Stanley, of
Dodge county, was requested to
act as secretary. Upon perma-
nent organization, Col. McDonald
was again chosen district chair
man, and resumed his seat as
presiding officer. The connties
were well represented, about
seventy-fivo delegates being
presect, The routine business
of the convention was soon over,
and Judge Joseph W. Bennet,
amid much applause, placed in
nomination the name of that
peerless statesman, Hon. Wm.
G. Brantley, who lmd already
been chosen by the people in
primary, to again bear the
Democratic standard in the
Eleventh Georgia. Judge J S.
Williams, of Waycross, and a
number of other ge itlemen from
the other counties, seconded the
nomt ation in eloquent and
glowing speeches. Col. Me
Donald, of Douglas, moved that
Mr. Brantley be nominated by a
rising vote, and the motion was
carried smid great applause.
A pleasant feature of the con
vention, and one which was
highly appreciated by the dele
gates, was the presence of Mrs.
Brantley, accompanied by sev
eral lady friends. Several reso
lutions were passed, which the
Herald will publish later.
The meeting was broken up
not exactly in a row, but amid
much merriment and confusion,
when Col. Twitty announced, at
12 o’clock, that a steamboat lay
at the dock near by armed and
equipped with all the “parapher
nalia” necessary for a trip down
the bay and a lunch and a picnic
for a hundred hungry men.
The “paraplier alia” consisted
in part of fish and clam
chowder, deviled crabs, chicken
and ham sandwiches, olives,
Iter people, and a promise to re
turn promptly when the next
congressional convention is
called, the party. landed safely
and iu high spirits They had
nominated Brantley and per
formed every other duty which
laid been required of them, and
were ready to return to their
respective homes full of patriot
ism and—deviled crabs.

VVqrlds Fair contest, and will be
presented with round trip tic

to the World’s Fair grounds as
otten as they may desire.
There was quite a crowd in the
Herald office last night just be
fore the closing of the contest,
and intense interest was mani
ed Judge of the Superior Courtr] tested during the counting of
the ballots, About three minus
tes before IU o’clock, friends of
Mrs. Wilson handed in a bundle
of over 7,000 votes. A tew minn-
tos^boforo about 1,000 were hand
ed ip, and her selection as one of
the winning contestants was as
sured before the closing of the
contest. Fort Andrews coupons
also came in great bundles, but
there was still soino doubt as to
who was in second place until
the coupons were nearly counted.
Mrs. Wilson especially made a
remarkable race, and she is very
tnaukful to her friends for their
interest in her behalf. Port
Andrews worked hard for his
coupons, and of course feels jubi
lant this morning ovor his
success. The result after last
uight’s final count was ns follows:
