X- o WEEKLY EDITION OF THE HOlaycross Evening merald r } • OFFICIAL ORGAN OF WAYCROSS AND WARE COUNTY. VOLUME XXVI waycross, ga., Saturday, june is, 1904. NUMBER r> Car factory i Congressional Makes Showing! Convention. 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 ' MATION- THE BOYS ENJOY 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.
