Three 31 ills and a Railroad to Atlanta
and .Birmingham Projected.
Talladega, Ala., Sept. 14.—A com-
| pany to erect and operate a knitting
I mill has been organized fn this ciiy.
i The company has been capitalized at
! $8,000, and will go to work as soon as
the necessary machinery can be pur
chased and erected.
Certain indications point to the fact
that the 200,000-spindle mill to be erected
by J. M. and D. L. Lewis is a certainty.
It is also rumored that another company
will erect a 5,000-spiudle mill at Spring
Lake, 10 miles north of Talladega.
The people are very much encouraged
at the prospect of a direct line of rail
road to Birmingham, and also one to
Atlanta. Eugene Zimmerman, one of
the promoters of the Birmingham, Ala
bama and Georgia railroad, is largely
interested in Talladega.

Pailadelphia, Sept. 18.—If, as Pres
ident Al.itclieli of the United Aline
Workers claimed la*t night, 112,000 of
the 141,000 mine workers in the Penn
sylvania anthracite coal fields were idle
yesterday, it is certain that this number
has been considerably augmented today
by additions to the strikers’ ranks. Re
ports from the four big districts em
bracing the region are to the effect that
fewer men are at work today than were
at work yesterday and that collieries
that worked fullhanded or nearly so
yesterday are either badly crippled oi
shut down today.
The weather has grown much colder
since yesterday and this change is
greeted with joy by the mine workers,
who believe it will greatly increase the
demand for coal and thus force an early
adjustment of the differences between
them and their employers.
Talk of arbitration is 20 persistent
that the hope is growing that this
method of settling the strike will finally

THE ROLLING MILL SCALE.
We are Bound to
Make a Ten-Strike
in this business of selling manufactured
wood-work.
The difference between the cost of
the best wood-work and that of the poor
kinds is slight.
The cost of completing a house or any
other building is too great for you to al
low it to he jeopardized by poor wood
work.
The good howler will roll his ball
against the king-pin in such a way as
to knock all down within.
A wise buyer will buy his lumber,
building material, wood-work, glass and
builders’ hardware in one place and get
all the advantages that come with the
best material and lowest prices.
That one place is here.
Why don’t you make a ten-strike?
