one of the Massachusetts gentlemen
present. said that although there are
many large factories in the State. there
IS no better built and equipped one in
New England.
| So much for the construction of the fac

justly proud. and now for something
about what is hring done there, for this
is the purpose foriwhich the factory was
built. the employment that il would give.
and not for ing augmentation Of the
city y
! II is FOR this purpose of getting an idea
Of how shoe IS made there, that a
journal man visited the factory one day
recently. and to the superintendent, Mr..
George Fletcher, of Marlboro, Mass, and
his corps of overseers, the reporter wish
Is to express his thanks for the cour-

towns and cities had been hUmbuGEcd hy
people who said they knew an about the
business, when they knew practically
nothing about il. or had no capital Il
carry it on Many of these places had
built and equipped factories. and given
outside parties the rent The result
would be that they could not succeed;
they would leave the factory ami town,
and that would be the last of them
With this knowledge to direct them in
the right path. whenever a party cam"
TO Augusta with their proposals, Mr..
Hichborn would cali in the committee,
and most always 7. o. NickerY, J. II.
Manley. DR.. j. F. Hin, Ira II. Randall.
NJ. V. Il. Chase, Fred G. I<nsmdn ajld
others would appear.
Mr. Nickery invariably put this CUES
ton to the gentlemen with the proposals:
What do you expect Us to do? DO you
expect us to build you a factory, equip il.
pay the taxes and give you the use OF il?
If that is what YOU expect, it is of no
use for you or us to waste our time dis
cussing the matter. If, on the other
hand, you will unite with us. organize a
stock company. and put in your dollars
against ours. dollar for dollar and you
will satisfy US that you know how 10
rum the business, we want YOU, and will
enter into business with you.
These questions and statements they
could not favorably answer. and the re
suit. in brief, was that every one was
driven away, until the representative OF
the old and well known Boyd Core!
Boot < Shoe Manufacturing Company OF
Marlboro. came to visit the committee
This company could answer the qucs-
TONS squarely. They had been hampered
by strikes and trade unions, and had smut
down their shops a few months previous.
Their proposition was TO organize a STOCK
compauv OF $1o0,0o0. On their part they
vould put in their entire machinery,
which was all of modern and up-to-jdte
manufacture. also some $4,000 in leather
some OF it partly Manufactured, to be in
vcntoried by disintorested parties At d
very low and satisfactory valuation the
machinery and stock amounted to @92,goo
That left $4S. 900. to be raised by Angus
IN. The committee looked into each
others faces and asked if il could be
done.
The Boyd & Corey Company had Il ap'
plicitions to go to other places in New
England. They were well and faNofabiS
known all over the country. ana II So
cn,ed at all, they must be at once.
Finally Mr. Nickely stepped fofWaf

The races on last Thursday were
good but the attendance was very
small. Logon was never noted for
its generosity in the matter of assist
ing any enterprise which might bring
a crowd here to spend their loose
change and the attendance at the
races last Thursday bears us out in
our assertion. There was time
when we could say Logan was wide

thing honorable to draw crowd but
that time is past and we are compell-

not be. Enough.

derlined to take place, but owing to

We have kept very quiet and not
talked much. We have fought hard
for what we have and now we will
not be much annoyed by the opposi-

This sounds well enough, but until
there is more evidence than the
throwing up of a little dirt now and
then to comply with some legal or
technical requirements, this project
will not haye that degree of conf"
dence from our people that it might
have under different circumstances.
We believe it is merely a scheme to
keep the state from leasing the right

The sleeper Railroad Up Again.

The Columbus, Hooking Valley |
and Athens (Sleeper) railr6pd ques-
tion is bobbing up again. 1t always
does just before election time. News
reached Logan last week that work
had commenced on this paper road
again and that force of men were
put to grading near Eckarts siding
above Lancaster. A representative
of the Lancaster Gazette secured the
following interview from w. H.
Jennings one of the leading spirits in
the paper road which soundsso well
on paper that we reproduce the ar
ticle for the benefit of our readers:
Again there is work on the line of
the 80 called Sleeper railroad. What
it means no one seemed to know, but
reports were rife that work was re-
sumed after the long season of idle.
ness, and just as everyone had con.
cluded that the project had been
abandoned, teams and men appeared
and the grading is again commenced.
The point where the work Is resumed
is on the Eckert farm at what is
known as Eckert's Lock. In order
to get as authentic news as possible
a Gazette representative cornered
Mr.. w. H. Jennings of Columbus,
who has from the start been one OF
the prominent figures in the enter.
prise, and held him up until the fol-
, lowing was wormed out of him.
"Yes we have started work again
and we will push the road to com
