HUM OF THE FACTORY.
The Great riant Of the BIun City Lumber Company One of the Big
 gest Industries in the south.

The great plant of the Bluff City Lumber Co. has long since been one of the greatest industries of the ciry. The imposing appearance and Ioca- tion of the plant are two clements that probably do more to attract strangers than eau be estimated at first thought.
 The hum Of it's machinery is like music to tie ears ef the working man.
 The busy noise ei the factdiy grcets the ears Of the passengers just before the train pulls into the station, and attracted thereby they look and see smoke curling up to the sky, which cmanates from one Of the largest manufacturing industries in the south
 In the factory you can see skilled mechanics busily at work. In the well stocked lumber yards you ob- serve other toilers shifting and piling the timber and plank They carry stock of more than ten million feet of yellow pine and oak lumber and ten million cypress shingles. and the great mill, with it's noisy appurten- ances, is q sight that our people arc proud of.
 One can see at glance that the plant is all extensive one and cannot fail to be impressed with tie indus trial prominence of the city from a casual observation. The plant isfur- nishel throughout with tile latest improved machinery steam is the motive power, and the company em- ploys on an average 1a0 men, great number of whom are skilled me- ehanics It is patent that such an institution must do business beyond the confines of it's own city, if it is to continue profitable existence, and to say that the Bluff City Lumber Company keep the wheels of it's pom defOns machinery tt full blast and takes tlle product of some eight or len other mills ill the surrounding country. and pays top wages to it's employees, is sufficient proof that it

Cause of Disagreement.

Cause Of Disagreement.
Atlanta, Sept. 1.-The letter of Mr.
Marion Harris of Macon, resigning from
the state democratic executive committee,
was received by Chairman Clay last
night. In discus ing the matter to-day
Chairman Clay said he thought Mr.. Har-
RS action was peculiar. He had evil
IDENTIFY municated with the populists
before he did with me- said MIR. Clay.
r. or WatSOn's paper knew the letter of
resignation mad been forwarded TO me
long before l had ever heard of it, much
less received it." Mr.. Harris states in
his letter that he resigned because
he does not agree with the policy
OF the committee. At the meeting of the
committee last week at which Mr.. Harris
was present. Chairman Watson of the
populist state committee present ted a
communication asking the democratic
committee TO give the populists a repre-
sentative al the polls and requesting the
passage of a resolution calling for fair
ness IN the elections. The committee de-
clined to pass the resolution requested.
There was a di ference of opinion on
the other proposition, bet the
committee finally agreed that it
had nothing whatever to do with
the appointment of election managers.
That is natter said Chairman Clay
to-day, which is entirely in the hands of
the ordinaries. They appoint the mana
gers, and therefore the executive com
mitJee have nothing TO do with it. The
committee is not opposed to having popu-
lists at the polls as managers and never
was. Our position was simply that it
was not in our jurisdiction. For that
reason we dId not do what Watson
wanted US TO DO; as to MIR. Harris, he gave
no intimation while here that he would
not abide by the action of a ma .ority of
the committee, and l was surprised to re-
celve his resignation, on the ground that
he could not agree with us
