GENERAL NEWS
What Skilled Labor ami En¬
terprise Can Do.
In the year 1891, two miles north
from the beautiful village of Dickey,
Mr. E, P. Parkins established on a
very small scale, what lias since be¬
come one of the most noted and
important industries of Calhoun
county. From an attachment at first
to a country gin house, the enterpris¬
ing proprietor has developed one of
the finest and most thoroughly
equipped Machine Shops in South¬
west Georgia. The plant consists of
the latest and most improved con¬
veniences for the building and repair¬
ing of engines, and boilers of all
classes. It was our pleasure to ac¬
cept an invitation from Mr. Parkins
to visit and inspect his works, of
which ho is so justly proud, and we
unhesitatingly indorse all that has
been or can bo said in commendation
of the equipment of the shop, and
the skill of the proprietor,, under
whose almost magic touch, the rough
and uncouth iron becomes a thing of
beauty and utility. The twin err
gines which no w' propel the' vast
machinery were built at the shop by
the proprietor, and speak more kind¬
ly and forcibly of his skill and genius
than volumes of well written lauda¬
tion. In connection with his build¬
ing and repairing conveniences ho
keeps constantly in stock a fine sup¬
ply of engine parts and adjuncts.
When Mr. Parkins was making his
start, he relates, that numerous per¬
sons would visit and look with
wondering eves upon what they con¬
sidered one of the most foolish
undertakings of the 19th. century,
and after repeatedly changing their
tobacco from side to side, and dubi¬
ous headshaking, insist that •nothing
but financial loss would follow his
undertaking. Today Mr. Parkins is
strained to his utmost capacity to
perform the work with which lie is
thronged and is contemplating an
increase of his facilities. Upon in¬
quiry, as regards the great amount,
of work done and from whence it
came 1 was informed that the coun¬
ties of Calhoun, Early, Miller and
Baker placed their work and orders
iu his hands while other more dis¬
tant sections contributed a flattering
share of their work. The above
counties represent from one hundred
and twenty-five to on o hundred and
fifty engines and boilers to keep in
running order, which entails an
amount of labor and earnings that
one may be justly proud, of.
Mr. Parkins informs us that when
first starting his business, the sum¬
mer portion of one or two years was
extremely dull, but now ho is pushed
through tho entire year. Ho is
now rebuilding two engines complete
aggregating sixty horse power, while
work requiring minor repairs are
stacked in a.i available spaces. i
was really surprised at the rapidity
and perfection of the work
ed in making new and adjusting the
many intricate parts of tho tnachin*
cry; in fact under tho skilful*manip¬
ulation of Mr. Parkins, “old things
become now’’ All the ‘ latest con¬
veniences of hoists and pulleys for
the handling of heavy parts, are
utilized by the« proprietor, and
tho most famed manufactures of
tools and appliances have been made
tributary to bis demand; In. fact
nothing remains to be added, that
perfect .satisfaction may bo given iu
work and appearance.
The tool room-is an apartment to
itself containing, twist drills, ream*

Court Proceedings.
Calhoun superior court convilied
here Monday morning with Judge II.
0. Sheffield, of the Pataula circuit,
on the bench. Judge Spence having
been detained on account of presid¬
ing in Sumpter county last week, did

noon. After Judge Sheffield's Usual

Jury, ho proceeded with the call of
tho civil docket, and during the day
the county vs. C. 11. Geo, former
county treasurer, was tried, resulting
in a verdict for Mr. Gee, the defend'
ant, which would seem to exculpate
Mr. Geo as to the shortage of county
