NOT TO MAKE WHEELS.
Manager Foote Makes Statement Con-

corning Va. and N. c. Wheel Co.
There has been change In the plans Of
the Virginia and North Carolina Wheel
Company in Fulton. The plant will not be-
gin the manufacture Of finished wheels
September 1st. as stated.
This was given out yesterday morn
ing by MIR. D. P. Foote, the new general
manager of the plant. A short time ago
the company closed down a portion of
their plant at Jacksonville. Fla. It was
stated then that the machinery would
be shipped to this city and the manufac-
ture of finished wheels would be resumed
in this city after lapse OF two years.
This news was hailed with delight, for
it meant that two hundred skilled work.
men would be put to work. besides a
number Of laborers. This would mean an
increased payroll of several thousand
dollars a month, which would be spent
mostly in Fulton. Instead Of resuming
the manufacture Of wheels here the
plant at St Mary's, O., was enlarged
and the finished wheels will be manu-
featured there. The reason of the change
was not given out by General Mana ger
Foote yesterday. He said:
we will not manufacture finished
wheels here yet. but will increase our
bending room to double its present ca
pacity and turn out double the amount
Of spokes and rims.
The manufacture Of finished wheels
was conducted here by the company on
a large scale before the destruction of
the plant two years ago by fire The
company al one time had a contract for
10000 wheels for firm in Germany, dur
ing the life of which the wheel-makers
made excellent money. Fulton regrets
the action of the company very deeply.
Mr.. Foote. the general manager, took
charge of the plant on last Saturday,
