RED ROCK PLANT
Red Rock Plants are Being
Formed Over Country.
The Drink Popular.
Special to The Georgian.
Knoxville, Tenn., Aug. 7.—One of the
moat Important bualneaa transactions
consummated here In a long time was
the recent formation by the H. T.
Hackney Co. and others of a large
company to be known as The Red
Rock Company of Knoxville, to bottle
the celebrated Red Rock (linger Ale,
manufactured by the Kagan & Dodd
Co., of Atlanta.
The capital to begin with will be
J25.000, but the resources of the stock
holders are great and this capital will
be Increased-In a very short time to
$100,000, as It Is a matter of foregone
conclusion that the rapid Increase In
the business will Justify the additional
Investment. Eighteen men will travel
over East Tennessee and everyone of
them will be saying Red Reck, and
they will say It plain.
Red Rock Ginger Ale Is already one
of the best known drinks In this sec
tion of the country, as the Hackney
Company, one of the largest wholesale
houses In the South, has sold more than
$40,000 worth of Red Rock In the past
three months. The company now pro
poses to build a modern, up-tp-date
Plant and be ready for business be
tween September 1 and 15.
The Red Rock Ginger Ale Co. U en
larging Its capacity every day. Al
ready four of the largest bottling plants
In the United States have been located
at Atlanta. Jacksonville, New Orleans
and Knoxville, It Is practically assur
ed that other plnnts are In contem
plation and will be opened In the near
future.
Red Rock has Increased In popular
ity to such an extent that the manu
facturers In Atlanta have found It
practically Impossible to, supply all of
the trade direct from headquarters, so
they have co-operated ip every man
ner possible with the various stock
companies for the organisation of
these bottling plants. The result has
been that the public has been served
promptly and with great satisfaction.

Unseemly conditions are existing
around the Bell street public school,
so it was stated In an ordinance In
troduced by Councilman Draper at the
session of council Monday afternoon.
The ordinance, asking for an Invest!
gallon, was passed without a dissenting
vote. It stated that there are houses
of disorderly nature near the school.
The regular bi-monthly meeting of
the city fathers was characterised by
It* length and the unimportance of the
business attended to. Although there

Railway Franchise Goes Over.
After one hour of discussion, during
which time Captain Ellis and Mr. Wlm-
blsh, of the law firm of Ellis, Wltnblsh
A Ellis, were heard from. It was de
cided to hold the franchise of the elec
tric railway between this city, Griffin
and Macon until the next session of
council for definite action. Several of
the council members stated that they
could net vote on ao Important an ordi
nance as the one drawn up by city At
torney Mayeon, gl
company, without
slderatlon. It trai
lea made and one furnished each of t
counctlmen.
The feature of the ordinance was tho
rate of taxation. It stated that the
company musf pay annually 3 per cent
of the gross receipts In Atlanta for tho
first five years and 5 per cent for tho
remaining time of the franchise. This
la aside from utfy other taxation that
may be levied, and is to be based on u
G-cent fare for every person riding In
the city. There Is also to be a tax on
the gross receipts of express hauled.
Aldermen Key, who was instrumental
In getting the ordtnanee laid over,
stated that It would be Impossible to
ascertain what these receipts were and
that the city would have to rely entire
ly on the company's veracity.
When the rules wero suspended. Cap
tain Ellis first took the Door. In reply
to the objections made against the new
his opinion, Mr. Hurt did not Intend
building a theater, as he had stated.
He then set forth the advantages of tho
new road, stating that It would mark
a now era In Atlanta's history.
Attorney Wlmblsh compared the
streets, claimed to be too narrow, with
certain street» In New York on which
‘‘traffic a hundred tlmej greater than
on the streets In Atlanta found no
difficulty In threading its way. ,r ^B
In answer to Alderman Key's ques
tion, he stated that register would be
kept exclusively for the fares collected
In Atlanta.
Liquor Men May Hire Minors.
The ordinance of Councilman Foster
forbidding minors to work in wholesale
liquor houses wag amended so as to
allow persons 18 years of age or over
to work In wholesale houses with the
consent of parents or guardians.. The
age limit was fixed at 16 years by .the
committee, but Councilman Foster suc
cessfully fought this down, saying It
defeated the very spirit of the ordi
nance.
The ordinance prohibiting enloon
men from selling or giving liquor to
members of the police force under a
penalty of $100 or 10 days or the revo
cation of license was sent back to the
ollco board. The situation created
•y the ordinance has been unique.
When It first came up many of the
councllmen spoke for It. Later the
members of the police force showed
their strong aversion to It, and de
clared they would not vote for any one
who had voted for It. About half of
Its supporters switched. MeyorWood-
ward spoke for the measure when It
first came up; but, after Its passage, he
wrote that the penalty was too heavy.
City Attorney Mayeon construed this
as a veto and the council failed to
pass the ordinance over the mayor's
veto. The vote Mondoy stood to to 10,
