ALEXANDER CITY.
Her People Are Determined to Have that
 Factory-Mass Meeting.

Factory-M Mass Meeting.
 Alexander City, April 30-(Special Cor respondence.)- Jour people are interested in a cotton factory. They are in dead earnest, mean business and are going to have a factory. Several days ago our mayor called meeting of the citizens in this town and country to discuss the practicability of cotton factory being built here.
 At o'clock yesterday the court house was filled to overf1owing with representa- tive men of this place and the surround ing country and they had one of the most enthusiastic meetings ever held on such an occasion.
 The meeting resulted in the organiza- tion of the Alexander City Improvement club, with J. c. Maxwell as president, and Seaborn J. Pearson secretary, with a large and influential membership.
 1t was agreed by a unanimous vote of the club and meeting to offer as induce ments to capitalists who desire to come here and build a factory, water power enough, six miles from town, to run a dynamo sufficiently large to furnish all power necessary; also all lands necessary for the factory and buildings, exemp- tion from city taxation for five years and other inducements if necessary.
 There were over 300 people in town yes- terday, and all were in dead earnest about this matter.
 Several letters have recently been re- ceived from eastern manufacturers ask ing about our advantages and induce ments. We want the factory and with cotton receipts up to 1500 bales a season why not have one?
 Keep your eye on Alexander City.

Atlanta's run getting has always been early in the game, and was today due partly to some costly errors by Chat tanooga when the bases were full The decisions of Reccius excited derision again from the grand stand.
