Meeting Of Stockholders Of the Knitting
Mill Yesterday Capital Stock In
... creased to $4,000.

A meeting of the stockholders of the
Newberry Knitting Mill was held yes
I terday in obedience to call issued for
the purpose Of increasing the capital
stock of the company. 1t was decided
to increase tie capital stock from
$500 to $4,000, issuing $4,000
preferred stock. The present stock
holders will be given an option OH the
preferred stock. 1t is practically as
sured that all of it will be taken, though
as yet it has not actually>been issued.
An amendment to the charter so as to
permit of the increase will be asked at
once. "
Immediately after the adjournment of
the stockholders meeting the Board of
Directors met. Mr.. j. j.. Norwood
rendered his resignation as president
and treasurer, stating that he did so
owing to the fact that his duties at the
Savings Bank would not permit him to
give the Knitting Mill the attention
which he thought it should have. Under
this statement the resignation Yves ac-
cepted, and Mr.. l.. w. Floyd was chosen
his successor.
The terms of three of the directors,
Col. George Johnstone and Messrs. w.
H. Day and B. G. Matthews, having
expired, it was necessary to elect three
new directors. COL Johnstone and Mr..
Day declined reelection, and Messrs
l.. w. Floyd, B. G. Matthews and u. +.
Wright were chosen directors.
1t was decided that work on the dye
plant, which has already been COM
menced, should be pushed to compile
ton, and the president was authorized
and directed to carry forward the
work.
Mr.. Floyd will enter upon the dis
charge of his duties as president imme-
diately. Under his management and
direction, rapid growth of the enter
prise is assured. Mr.. Floyd for many
years has been intimately associated
with Newberry's successful enterprises
and has aided much in the development
of the city, and it is gratifying to the
friends of the Knitting Mill that con-
tinuance of the success which has at
tended Mr.. Norwood's management is
assured under that Of Mr.. Floyd.
When the dye plant shall have been
completed, the Newberly Knitting Mill
will be able to meet the competition
of any similar enterprise in the south.

THE SERVIAN TRAGEDY

The civilized world has been shock
ed by the fearful tragedy in Servia
where weak king and wicked queen
together withtheir intimates, were MUIR
dered in night. While the crime is alb
horred the victims are not greatly to be
pitied. The story of the tragedy reads
like Bluebeard tale, and it is almost
impossible to believed tina; it happened
in 1903.
There are many evidences however,
that the boosted civilization of to-day
is not so far removed from savagery as
we would gladly think. The Russian
massacre, the Servian assassinations,
the Armenian atrocities and the South
ern outrages all show that man is very
much brute after all.
The Servian tragedy may force a
European crisis in the Balkans. In the
meantime, it is but another illustration
that the wages of sin is death.

During the many years that success

their various Shows were the most

proven to be one of the banner towns

moment the guest was outside our gates.
President Roosevelt needs no defense
at the hands of the REVIEW or of any
citizen of Denison. His record as SOL
der and statesman; as champion of the
fBg and of the people, is without spot
or blemish. In all the years of its puny
existence the Bulletin has not accom-
plished thousandth part of the great
deeds of any single week of the Presi-
dents busy life.
Mr.. Roosevelt is a doer of great
deeds rather than a talker of big words.
He is man of strength and conviction.
The winds and rains of the plains; the
days and nights on the field of battle;
the hours of thought and mental con-
flict for the good of his city, his state
and his nation have left lines in his
face; have made him rugged and pur
poseful, but not unpleasing to'those who
admire strength and visility and hon

he poses neither as Beau Brummel,
nor sophomore orator, but as Presi-

and the greatest Office on earth in u
manner which has called forth the re-
spect and admiration of all honest men
who have suff .ient of intellect to appre-
ciate great deeds.

told pleasing story of what Senator
Spooner once said of Arthur Pue Cor

Wisconsin republican said II have

exactly what Denison did during the
Presidents reception, and it is to be
regretted that the Bulletin has seen
fit to spoil the era of good feeling, and
put bad taste in the mouth by un-
warranted and ill-natured personal
criticism of the city's guest. No one
expected or asked the Bulletin to
change';ts political convictions on &C.

t'nued gentlemanly treatment both
during the visit and after the President

would suggest itself to the gentlemanly
minded. " is almost unnecessary to
state that the Bulletins statement did
not voice any sentiment of any but it.
