WaYCROSS POLITICS.
Developed Some Warmth at Meeting
of Club Last Night.

Waycross, Ga, Nov. 2O.-The Citi-
zens' Club met at the Court House to-
night. President V. L. Stanton being
out of the city, on motion Col. S. w.
Hitch took the chair as presiding Off
GER. with Capt. c. A. Sheldon as sec
rotary.
Short talks were made by Mayor
YOumans, Alderman w. w. Sharpe and
Judge Warren Lott. Judge ]. l..
Sweat then took the floor and spoke
at length, expressing himself in a very
emphatic manner. He was one of the
principal leaders of the Citizens Club
last year. He said one of the main
principles of the club was economy;
that the present Mayor and Council
were responsible. together with the old
administration and the representative
and senator in having the Mayors
salary raised and a new ward Great
ed, which put an unnecessary burden
upon the taxpayers.
Mr.. John Green then spoke, favoring
a selection of candidates for aldermen,
without any obligation binding them to
support such candidates so selected at
this meeting, in a white primary to
be held later The chairman called for
the yeas and nays and declared that
the yeas carried, when Mr.. Green and
Judge Sweat contested the decision of
the chair and asked that a rising vote
be taken, which was done. This vote
resulted in overruling the decision of
the chair and left the voters free to
vote in the selection of candidates at
this meeting and not bind themselves
to support the ones so selected at the
primary.
Judge Warren Lott then put in nom
ination the three aldermen whose
terms expire Jan. /: First ward, c. E.
Murphy; Third ward. r. B. Ballard,
and Fifth ward, S. T. Wright. Judge
Sweat then placed in nomination. First
ward, c. E. Murphy: Fifth ward. Ino.
NJ. Cox; Third ward. S. d. Pittman.
The vote was taken by secret ballot,
and resulted as follows: Cox. SO:
Wright, So; Ballard, 10: Pittman. 60.
The chairman declared Wright Bal
lard and Murphy the choice of the
meeting.
For members of the Board of Educa-
ton, V. l.. Stanton and A. NJ. Knight
were selected by a unanimous vote.
The meeting was largely attended,
and the discussions were quite lively
for a while. After the selection of can
didates for the Board of Education, the
meeting adjourned.

Columbia, S. c., Nov. 20.-The trou-
bles of the Seaboard Air Line regard
ing a depot in Columbia has not ended.
The company bought Sydney Park for
a terminal point and after an immense
amount of labor and expense it was

ed for a passenger depot. Then 1t
bought some very valuable property
on both sides of Gervais street and
tore down the buildings thereon pre-
pairing to erect a passenger depot,
Now comes the Railroad Commission
with almost peremptory order that
the road shall go into the Union Sta

road runs out of the town on high tres

twenty feet above the other roads, it
will be awkward for it to change the
grade and get into the depot.

souto Faetory GoIna 70 srattIeboro.

F.A. Thompson of the b. Souto COM
pany returned Friday from a trip TO
Brattleboro, where he met Mr.. Souto OF
New York last week and completed the
final arrangements for removing their
furniture business from Randolph.
Six acres of land have been purchased
in Brattleboro OF Col. and Mrs. John
Hunt, and the ground has already been
broken for the erection of the new
factories. The buildings are to consist
of factory, 152- by 80 feet on the ground,
and three stories high with a basement;
store house, 10I by 65 feet and two
stories high; dry kiln and lumber storage,
lbs by 40 feet, and power house, 80 by 80
feet the last three buildings to be of
brick.
The plans and specifications for the
buildings, which were drawn by Barker
4 Nourse, architects of Worcester,
Mass, call for thoroughly substantial
structures, modern in appearance and
construction. They are to be equipped
with automatic sprinklers and are to
conform in all respects to the require
ments of the New England Insurance
exchange. The contract for the con-
struction, which has been awarded to
Holden Il Martin OF Brattleboro, pro-
vides that the buildings shall be COM
pleted on or before April I'd, 1908. The
contract price is between $4,000 and
~, 900. This with the cost OF the site,
$500, ana the machinery to be Installed,
will make the cost OF the plant $4,000
in round numbers.
The Souto company has paid the trus-
tees on the part OF the Brattleboro sub
scribers, $500 for its share OF the cost OF
the site, and the company is obligated to
the trustees to employ force of not
less than 40 men for a term OF not less
than five years. Mr.. Thompson, the
Junior member Of the firm, will live in
Brattleboro and have charge OF the fac
tory, while Mr.. Souto Will have charge
of the company's warehouses in New
York.
In the meantime the business will be
continued in Randolph, as at present,
until the Brattieboro plant Is com
pleted, according to contract, in April
and ready to begin the manufacture OF
furniture on a large scale.
