GEORGIA’SJREAT LOSS
American Naval Stores Company
Will Move Its Headquarters.
CHANGE TO OCCUR JANUARY 1
Loss to Savannah and State of Georgia
in a Business Way Will Be
Very Large.
Savannah, Ga. —The American Na
val Stores Company, through its sec
retary, Charles J. DeLoach, has an
nounced its intention to remove its
headquarters out of the state of Geor
gia, Mr. DeLoach stating that Savan
nah would be abandoned as a head
quarters for the corporation with the
end of the present year, and that the
offices would be opened in Jackson
ville. The formal change is to take
place on January 1.
The announcement, coming fast on
the discovery that the United States
government is again conducting an in
vestigation into the naval stores busi
ness, has agitated South Georgia busi
ness circles. It is even hinted that
one of the reasons for the change of
location contemplated is a desire to
change from the jurisdiction of one
federal court to that of some other.
Officers of the company refuse to as
sign a reason, but state that the re
moval has been in view about two
months.
The corporation is capitalized in the
millions, and its loss to Savannah and
Georgia, in a business way, will be
large. Orders have already been is
sued to office men in the company’s
employ to prepare to move their fam
ilies to Jacksonville before January
first.
Savannah and Jacksonville’s fight
for naval stores market supremacy
has been a bitter one, and the effect
of the removal is expected to be
large.
SENATOR BACON HOME.
Reaches Macon' After a Tour of Eu
rope—ls in Fine Health.
Macon, Ga. —Senator A. O. Bacon
has been welcomed home from another
long European trip, and is here to
cast his ballot in the state election.
He will, before the final contest in
national politics is closed, journey
north and join in the effort to elect
Bryan and Kern. He is only on a
short trip home. He will leave in
a few days to speak for the national
democratic candidates. He wanted to
toe present at the coming of Hon.
John W. Kern, and wanted to see
home folks before leaving in the par
ty’s interests.
Senator Bacon is in fine health, and
was never in better spirits. He is
hopeful as regards the democratic
chances, and his predictions, al
though not made with a great amount
of knowledge of recent occurrences,
are 'based upon sound and safe esti
mates, and he deems the winning
probabilities very strong.
One of the strongest workers for
the democratic candidates in the coun
try will be Senator Bacon. He will
put his whole time and influence into
bis addresses, and as soon as he has
his duties assigned, he will be heard
from. Every years he adds a great
store of knowledge of world affairs in
his travels, and local citizens are
proud of him as one of the strongest
democratic statesmen of the present
day.

It has developed that the burglars
who broke open and stole a number
of guns and other articles from
Hutchinson Lumber and Supply com
pany at Cordele, might have been the
same parties who caused that city to
ibe in darkness more than an hour by
tampering with the electric light

the large Shawmut cotton mills at
West Point. This plant, driven by
the waters of the Chattahoochee, will
furnish power for the operation of
seventy-five spindles and will develop
fifteen thousand horse power. The
new mill will consume one hun
dred bales of cotton daily and will
give employment to one thousand two
hundred operatives. The completion
of this mill will bring the total num

ated with not less than 25,0-00 barrels
of kerosene oil, costing 7 cents to 10
cents a gallon.
Cotton is coming into Elberton
slower than usual this year. It is
generally conceded that the crop is
short, and made shorter by the wash

ing very fast, and the prospects are
that it will be gathered earlier than
usual.
