What We WIN See In Columbus.

Demopolis, Ala, Nov 13.-The
river locks which are being built
by the government at or near
Demopolis, one of which is on
the Tom bigbee, known as Lock
No. 1, and two on the Warrior,
Locks Nos. 2 and 3, are much
more immense than the casual
reader thinks.
AS an evidence of their i'm
mensity NJ. T. Lewman & Com
pany, the contractors, have plac-
ed an order with the Hudson
Cement Company of New York
for $4,000 barrels of cement to be
used in their construction. Ship
ment has already commenced,
and $500 barrels have arrived
and are being stored in this city,
to be conveyed to the locks as
needed. About 1913 cars will be
required to handle the order
which is said to be the largest
amount of cement ever sold on
one order in the South, with the
possible exception of that used
on the Galveston sea will. The
$4,000 barrels, it is estimated,
cost about 100000. An idea of
the extent of the government
work being done in our midst
may be obtained by an estimate
of the amount of labor that will
be required to handle this cement
and other material to be used,
and the length of time required
by the hundreds of wOrkmen
employed on the works before
the completion of the locks.
