Area of Building

To begin with, the plant occupies a
building 100 by 12O feet in ground
area and three stories high with high
and dry basement. 1t is of brick with
double hard pine floors throughout.
1t is well lighted naturally and by
electricity and thoroughly heated by
a steam plant located in the basement
at the southeast corner. Collins
brothers did the constructive work
and the total cost was $4,000.
The offices are on the first floor in
the northwest corner. These are par
titiOnej off from the remainder of
the floor with hard pine and are di-
vided into a general office and private

machines in the room where the tops
are fabricated on the first floor are
provided each with a small motor.
In the basement is the blacksmith

side of the room the gears are set up
and with the wheels are given the

this department forms a very impor-

the plant and in it the most advanced
ideas are worked out.

Meridian, March 12.-In desper-
ate pistol duel early this morning,
Police Officers T. W. Bludworth and
George E. Hogaboom shot Burke Car
roll, a negro four tines, from the
effects of which he died this after
noon. The officers went to Carrolls
home to arrest him on charge of
wife beating. The negro resisted by
drawing pistol and firing point
blank at the officers, neither of whom
was hit, owing to the fact, it is said,
that the officers held flash light in
the negro's face, binding him so that
his shots went astray. Bludworth
fired four shots, Hogaboom three, and
the negro three. The negro then
knocked Officer Hogaboom down and
fed. He was found few moments
later four blocks away in dying con-
dition.
A preliminary trial was held this
afternoon and both officers were dis
charged. Two negroes who were in
the house were eye-witnesses, and
both swore the negro fired first, and
that the officers did so to save their
own lives.
