IS MILLPROJECTEO
Million-Dollar Factory May
Be Built at Jack-
son.
Jackson, Ga., April 7.—That & mll-
II. n-dollar cotton mill, to bn the largest
In the South, will be built at or near
Jackson now seems certain. It Is the
plan of those Interested to build n mill
that will consume from 10 to 15 per
cent of the total amount of 20.0U0-
horsepower of the electric power that
will be generated at the power plant
being built on the Ocmulgee river, eight
miles from Jackson.
It Is planned to raise about $250,000
In Jackson and Butts county and In
this section and get the remainder of
the money In Macon and In the North
and Kart. At the meeting of the Cham
ber of Commerce last night the matter
was discussed and some of the money
was pledged. The president of the
Central Georgia Power Company has
said that he will take stock In any new
concern that wishes to locate In Jack-
son. and It is believed 1100.000 can be
raised In Macon for the mill.
If the deal goes thru It will be the
greatest thing of Its kind In the South.
A milllon-dollar cotton mill, together
with the Pepperton Cotton Mills, nl
ready In operation here, would coni
suine every bale of cotton of an aver
age 1 (,000-bale crop grown In Butts
county, and probably more.

That Is. In feeding the multitudes.
And the feeding Is done In style. Ap

cats.
Coffee? Yes, Just One More.
And coffee? Oh. say! Ravishing
perfumes, fit to drive the visitor dis
tracted, greet the longing nostrils from
every side. The temptation (so say
they, all of tnem) la just simply too
much, and, John, If I don't aleep a wink

But In the morning—well, that's some
thing else.
So they eat, drink nnd are merry.
Quite merry. And their children with

. W. M. TERRY.
Presldant of Decatur-st. Bank
and worker for better paving.
That the enactment of the pure food
and drugs act has corrected many
abuses In the manufacture of foods,
spices, drugs, etc., and has forced the
manufacturer to properly label his arti
cles so that the purchaser buys nothing
"In the dark,” Is the unonlriiou* opinion
of all persons who have taken occasion
to-uiote the revolutionising effect of the
act.
Charles A. Smith, of Jacobs’ Phar
macy, who has devoted considerable
time to the study of the pure food and
drugs act and who Is thoroughly fa
miliar with the results produced by Itr
hits the following to say upon the sub
ject, with especial reference to drugs;
"Not only the national, but the state,
law. has corrected many abuses In the
manufacture of foods, spices, drugs and
whiskies.
"With the honest manufacturer there
has, of course, been very little change
in their mode of putting out goods.
"Before this law, It was almost im*
possible to get absolutely pure spires.
EASTER EGG HUNT
Stores Will Close and the
Schools Give Holiday.
Elberto'n, Ga.,
day the’ chll
. April 7.—Next Mon-
lldren of. Elberton will be
given an Easter egg hunt. The eggs
will be hidden In the grove near the
public school building and promptly at
4 o’clock every Boy and girl In the city
will be "turned loose” to hunt for eggs.
Several prise eggs will be hidden by the
different business houses of Elberton.
The stores will he closed nt 3 o'clock
In order to let everybody "go on'the
hunt” ar watch the little folks.
The same Is true of olive oil. a great
quantity of It being diluted with peanut
oil and cotton seed oil.
"In a great many Instances whiskies
were not distilled spirits, but potato
spirits diluted, colored and flavored.
"Vanilla extract Is an article that a
great many manufacturers abused, sub
stituting In the place of vanilla, Tonka
beans, vanillin and other substitutes for
the Mexican vanilla bean.
"We consider that the mo*t Impor
tant evil corrected by the pure food
law Is that of preventing the unscrupu
lous manufacturers of putting out me
dicinal preparations and marking them
■cures,’ 'harmless' nnd 'free from opi
ates,' when they did contain harmful
drugs.' nnd. In a grant many Instances,
were heavily loaded with opiates.
"We are glad to see that the grocers
and butchers of this city are co-operat
ing In'haVIng the pure food show. We
think the effect will be good, and have n
tendency to raise the standard of food
products."

Following the decision of the city
council to pavfc Decatur-st. from
Peachtree to Yonge-st., W. M. Terry,
president of the Decatur-st. Bank, ha*
given out an Interview In which he
congratulates The Georgian for the
fueresaful fight It made to secure the
paving, tells of the great benefit It will
be to Decatur-st., and of the further
Improvements that are desirable for
this great thoroughfare.
Mr. Terry said:
"All the merchants and business men
of Decatur-st. are jubilant over the
successful fight which-has terminated
In the decision of the council To pave
Decatur-st. as far as Yonge-st. I want
to congratulate and thank The Geor
gian for its part In-the fight. Us col
umns have been open to the Decatur-
st. business men for the past 50 days
in which to express tholr opinions and
desires about the paving.
"tyt only will the new pavlna^greatly
Increase real estate values on our
street and turn a larger volume of
trade to our merchants, but It will Im
prove Its moral tone, as the old dives
will be compelled to seek other locali
ties and property owners will be en
couraged to .build better houses.
"Greatly to be desired, however,
the Improvement of Decatur-st. from
Yongo-st. onward, and the construc
tion of the viaduct over the railroad
tracks. It Is largely because of the
railroad viaduct on Edegwood-ave. that
people coming to Atlanta from Rock
dale, DeKalb nnd other counties enter
the city on that street rather than on
Decatur, which Is the natural and most
convenient entrance. Jt Is certainly to
be hoped that the railroads will accept
the proposition of the council and pave
the lower end of Decatur-st. and erect
a viaduct over the tracks."
Other Decatur-st. merchants and
business men who have been urtlve
workers for the Improvement are H. F.
McConnell, of the McConnell Shoe and
Clothing Company; T. M. Webb, of the
Webb Dry Goods Company; Thomas I..
Bond and Edwin Klngsbery, of the
Klngsbery Shoe Company.
