it will be that some good work will be

TALLY Its, present form Tor four or five
years it VII never be repealed; but

because of The newness Of the law some

that the newly formed Good Roads As

might with much profit turn its atten-
ton to the support of his new road
law and to seeing to ii that there be no
change in The law at TIE present time.
There are defects which Mill have TO be
corrected i'll time. but The danger in
amending new and practically untried
law is tina 1t will be snoiled. so they
want no amendments at all at the COM

Parsons, Rich & Company,
Manufacturers of Gasoline
Engines, at Newton, La.
LOSS is ESTIMATED AT 100000
This Will Be Partly Covered by Insur-
ance. Which Amounts to Between
$4,000 and $4,000 - Quarter Block
Covered by Shops Destroyed-Fac-
tory Certain to Be Rebuilt.

Newton, Aug. 22-The large factory
OF gasoline engines ana self feeders,
was last night destroyed by fire, which
swept the quarter block covered by the
shops and was only kept from taking
the office building and adjoining prop
erty of the company by the most heroic
| efforts Of the tiremen and citizens. The
| loss is estimated at, approximately,
! $4,000. and the insurance is between
$4,000 and $4,000. Seventy-tive men
are employed the year round in the fac
tory, and these VIII, of course, be
thrown out OF employment temporarily.
y few minutes before the fire was dis
covered Might WatchmaI Thomas Cal
lagher made a trip thru all the differ
emt departments. Having completed
his rounds, the watchman passed TO the
outside ana walked along the south
side of the building. He noticed the
smell of smoke as he passed the win
COWS of the foundry, ana as cast had
been made late in the evening thought
that the smoke might come from the
cupola, and stepped out into the street
to see. There was no smoke coming
there. and he ait once went back 10 the
/, inside and in the north one of the three
general buildings, in the room known
as the erecting room, he saw the fire. II
was all a'blaZe and burning nsadly. He at
once ran into the engine room and be-
gan blowing the whistle.
Mr.. Gagahen, secretary and treasurer
of the company. was in the office. He
ran out, and going Immediately onto
the roof saw where the fire was. 1t
was then pouring thru TIE roof in many
places. He went down and inside.
Even then 1t was impossible to get far
in. for the fire burned very tiercely and
rapidly.
Every attention was II once paid to
getting the fire under control. 1t was
soon seen that the main Ignt Of the
factory was doomed. ard the efforts
were turned to savethe balance. Every
thing was carried from the office and
the adjoining streets were StreWn with
lumber materials and the finished
products of the factories. Fortunately,
a big shipment of feeders was made the
day before which saved that much
more from loss. The work done by the
firemen was certainly excellent.
George w. Parsons is the pioneer in
the feeder business. He started in this
city several years ago, being interested
with Senator Maytag and others IN the
largest feeder factory n the world.
Some five years ago he disposed of his
interests TO me company of which he
is member. and since that time has
launched many new improvements,
opened a factory and built up a splen-
did business. His mandatory is sec
ond in size to but one here, and that
one he founded years ago. While it is
early for the discussion of any plans
for the future. it is perfectly safe to
say that the factory will be rebuilt at
once. The people of this city are very
loyal to Mr.. Parsons, and would noI
hesitate to assist him If necessary.

Shipments Light, Chiefly on Account
SECRETARY RUssElLs REPORT


.Ia.e= weeks mo4emcut=tl cotton has
been very Disappointing 10 the local
buyer Where the season was at
first thought to be nearly month
late the movement ON the cotton at.
ready gathered has been slow. Plant,
ers say that cotton is=still growing
and that even the bottom crop is not
opening very fast. The piclters are
kept constantly III the field gathering
what cotton there is III sight, but the
yield grows more disappointing each
week The streets Of the city at this
time in the season should be lined
with wagons bringing in the bales.
and the gins and congresses should
be working day and night, but such
is not the case. The buyers are keen
ly on the alert aud quickly hail the
farmer who comes in with his crop
but none Of them have more than
they can do and competition is keep
There are several reasons why the
shipments have been light thus far
in the season, but the greatest trouble
is caused by the striINent regulations
regarding the issuance of bills of la
ding. The Iron Mountain railroad has
drawn up contract for the compress
sers to sign which is very objection
able to them, SO much SO in fact, that
some of them refuse to move their
cotton until the matter is regulated
The principal clause in the contract
to which objection is made is the in
slrance portion, as it would be prac-
tically impossible to get any first
class insurance company to assume
the risk. According to the best au-
thOrity among the local shippers, the
railroad company requires the ship
per to assume the responsibility Of
inSuring the cotton until it REACHED
its destination and the burden IS con
sidered a heavy one. The local ship
perS are compelled to use the Iron
MOutain road to a large extent owing
to the connections here. but in Little
Rock the shippers are using the Rock
Island TO a large extent It is expect
ed that the matter will be adjusted
in a few days and unless it is, the To-
cal shipment will be light
