new POTTERY
IS A SUCCESS
First Kiln In Big CAL
houn Plant Is
sifG*s

The Calhoun pottery, whicr was re-
Gently started up, opened the first kiln
OF ware Monday. The plant is located
Just west of Waco, in the suburbs OF
Canton. The result of the test was a
surprise to potters and stockholders. as
It is estimated that there is 98 per sent.
of first class ware in the output.
Crooks, jugs, stew pans, and all sorts
Of clay products were turned out and
It is of the finest quality, taking q
brilliant finish.
The fact is demonstrated that thS
clay which lies in such abundance ust
southeast of this city is Of the besi
quality for pottery ware, and already
the company is having inquiries from
Akron and other points asking for
shipments of the clay.
The crooks turned out by the pot.
terry have tn advantage of being
much lighter than the ordinary pro-
duct, which Is due to the large percent
Of aluminium in the clay.
Washing watts have been built and
some of the clay will be washed fol-
the purpose Of testing It for finer
grade of pottery. The plant at pre-
sent employs 25 men. The company
has farm nearby where not only clay
but cosl is mined.
1t is the intention to enlarge the ca
pacity of the plant just as soon as the
machinery is all put in working ordeN
1t promises to become one of the larg-
est industries in this section and it,
success may be the result of other
similar plants being established.

The fight in Alliance against the AL

in earnest. The courts will be asked to
issue a writ of custer, taking away
from the company its franchise, thus
compelling 1t to quit business in that
CITY,
The action is brought by Councils
man p. C. Ramsey, of Alliance and
Attorney William M Roach came to
Canton Monday afternoon to file the
petition. The charge is that the gas
company has been charging consumers
q rate in excess Of that authorized in
the franchise granted by city council.
Ramsey refused to pay the last gas
bill rendered him. He rendered the
amount under the maximum rate fixed
by the franchise. but the company re-
fused to accept 1t. The company then
shut off the gas from the councilman's
home and he demanded that it be turn
ed on, giving the company until Satur-
day to do so.
Monday morning, being still un-
supplied with gas, he. authorized his
attorney to begin suit, alleging that he
was damaged to the extent of $4,000.
This controversy has been on for
some time in the east end city, the Of
ficials OF the gas company claiming
that 1t is impossible to do business at
the rate fixed in the franchise. In an
action brought to enjoin the collection
of the excess, recently tried, the mem
bers of the company swore upon the
stand that their plant was worth $780,
600. 1t was in the tax duplicate for a
little over $4,000 and Auditor Oberlin

However, II he had not come here

of probity, integrity and ability. He
would make a good governor.

thing against johnson. He has done
much for the party and would make
an aggressive campaign. During his
last visit to this city he made many
friends and presume is the choice of
the majority of the Democrats of Can
ton"
The Canton delegation will leave
for Columbus next Monday evening or
Tuesday morning.
Reports from all over the state are
rather conflicting, yet the belief is
growing that Johnson will have ma
jority upon the first ballot. There
are number of contested delegations
in which the Zimmerman people
claim to have the regulars. Many oi
the counties are divided in sentiment
as is the case In Stark. There arc
about thirty counties yet to hear from
and the friends of both candidates are
active in their efforts to capture dele
gates. Within few days it is ex
pected that some definite information
can be obtained.

Magnolia, j. C. Warwick of Navarro,
A. J. Jacquet of Louisville, Mayor
Bernard Bell and J. e. Mausz OF
Massillon. There is story going that
Warwick at Navarro is on the doubt
full list, but the johnson people are
counting him.
Chairman Charles Seeman, Of the
county committee, stated Tuesday
morning that the rank and file of the
,DeAocratic party were for Johnson,
although he recognized the fact that
Zimmerman was a good man and II
elected would make good governor.
Attorney r. 8. Shields was seen and
asked as to whom he would support
In the convention. II am for Zim-

deliberation. II have known Mr.. Zim-
