George w. Mcdaniel of Bedford, At
tending the State Fair.

George w. Mcdaniel. business hustler and
Republican politician Of Lawrence county,
is at the Denison. Mr.. Mcdaniel came up
to attend the State fair. Agricultural fairs
are his weakness. 81 like to dabble with
them" he said last night. The Lawrence
County Fair Association was in rather
hard luck until Mr.. Mcdaniel and some
other citizens of Bedford who are fond of
this sort of pastime took hold of 1t and did
wonders with the enterprise. Mcdaniel Is
one Of the directors Of the Midland Port
land Cement Company which is putting up
a plant at Bedford. He is enthusiastic
over the prospects Of this company. AS a
sort of side issue Mcdaniel finds time to
indulge a bit in politics, and he has been
paying some attention to the situation in
the senatorial district composed of Law
renee, Orange and Martin counties.
Charles b. Rogers, former consul at Fan
zibar, is the Republican candidate In this
district. Things are perhaps not as peac-
able, politically, as they might be in the
district. Rogers will be elected all right"
declared Mr.. Mcdaniel, "in spite of the
factional disturbances in the district. He
will carry Lawrence county by six hundred
majority. Lawrence county has had less
factional strife now than, 1t ever had I

Foresight Of . Great Firm.
But 1t has remained for one great busi-
ness firm to recognize the present impor-
lance and astounding future of Indianapo-
lis as a jobbing center. The Central Supply
Company. of 200 to 217 West Washington
street, believing that the only wa to learn
the secrets of the future is to read the
past, and feeling that the city will have an
Immense growth as a jobbing center, has
made arrangements accordingly, and In Its
splendid new building on West Washington
street has left room for great expansion.
1t is such firms as this one TO whom should
be awarded the credit for the achievement
in trade already made.
The Central Supply Company is the sue
cessor of the long-established McElwaine-
Richards Company, and, although incor-
porated as recently as February "a of the
present year, has already taken its legiti-
mate place as one OF the substantial and
leading firms of Indiana's capital city. At
the head of his company are four of the

them is a corps Of picked men. every one
of whom is an adept In his particular line.
