ROME WILL GET
ITS HOSIERY MILL.
An Armory and Opera House for
Lindale.

An Armory and Opera House for
Lindale.
Rome Ga. Jan. 15-In two days
some of Rome's progressive and pub
lic-spirited young men have secured
subscriptions for the establishment Of
a S25, 900 hosiery mill. The Northern
manufacturer, who is a thoroughly
practical knitting mill man, was tele-
graphed to-day to come to Rome as
soon as he could make arrangements.
The mill is to start with fifty hands,
and will make 300 dozen pairs of hos
iery per day.
With this splendid industry secured,
Rome starts the new year well.
A five-rOom dwelling house in North
Rome, occupied by Joe Trammell and
family was burned to the ground Some
of the family narrowly escaped with
their lives. The fire was beyond the
city limits.
At a meeting of the City Democratic
Executive Committee this afternoon, it
was ordered that a white primary be
held on Feb. &c to select five candi-
dates for councilmen. The only ticket
announced so far consists of John G.
Printup, A. p. Arlington, ]. w Han
cock, Charles w. Morris and Coleman
Bryan.
It is authoritatively announced that
an opera house and armory combined,
to cost $40, 0G0 will be built at Lindale
by the Massachusetts Mill Company. A
military company was organized at
Lindale recently. with ninety-eight
members. over forty of the men are
over six feet in hight. When the new
mill is put in operation Lindale will
nave population of nearly 5000.

INSURANCE MEN SORE.
Do Not Like the Competition Bruns-
uick's Treasurer Gives Them.

Do Not Like the Competition Bruns-
wick's Treasurer Gives Them.
Brunswick. Ga. Jan. 15.-The Bruins
wick insurance agents and the City
Council are in a dispute, and the case
will probably end in the courts.
1t seems that City Treasurer George
Smith, who is also in the insurance
business, conducts the two businesses
in the Same office at the City Hall.
and the other insurance agents of the
city filed a protest with Council at its
meeting Monday night. In the petit
ton the agents cited the facts that
the city treasurer had no right to con-
duct an insurance business in the City
Hall; that he had no office rent to
pay his electric light, telephone and
other bills were paid by the city, and
also that he had an advantage over
the other agents, inasmuch as he
talked insurance to the citizens who
went to the City Hall to transact city
business"
Council turned down the petition
fatty, and one of the aldermen intro
duced a resolution giving the treasurer
permission to use the office in the City
Hall for his insurance business.
Inc other agents are not at all sat-
isfied with the action of Council, and
to-day they announced that they would
not pay any license for the present
year If Treasurer Smith continued to
conduct an insurance business in the
treasurer's Office at the City Hall. They
say that they pay $1,000 in licenses
yearly for the companies they repre-
sent, and do not think they are being
treated fairly by Council, and saw they
refuse to pay the license, so that the
matter will be taken to the Superior
Court.

A Needed Law.
Greenbrler Independent.

Greenbrier Independent.
For years the Clerk of the State
Court of Appeals has had mono
poly of the printing of the records
in cases going up to that Court.
The fees for this printing and the
salary makes the office worth
to the Clerk, as we are told, some-
thing like $4,000 year. Why
should the Clerk be given a mo-
nopoly of this printing? For years
the newspapers of the State, pre-
pared to do good job work, have
asked that the law be SO framed as
to give them an equal nance with
the Clerk in competing for this
work and there is now bill pend
ing before the Legislature with
this end in view. We hope that
the delegates from this part of the
State will give this measure, or
some other having the same end in
view, their approval and support.
In his message, Gov. White ex-
presses the opinion that in the
past the State has been very mig
gardly in its course toward the
press and points out some things
that may wit propriety be done,
and which, if done. would result
incidentally to the benefit of the
press. Certainly, what the Gov.
ernor says in regard to the taxation
and collection of cost is we'll worth
the consideration of the Legis-
lature.

use it at all. In the east and many
parts of the south r is, in effect,
an auxiliary vowel except at the
beginning of words. 1t merely

Occasionally it receives distinct
vowel sound, that of the italian A.

neighbor says"befo' deposing r
from its position as a vowel or VOW
ell morifier. In the west r is
sounded with an approximation of
correctness. Yet even the western
ers do not give it it's full value, as
do the Irish and Scotch. Their
strong enunciation of the letter
sounds harsh to US, net the letter
is intended to be pronounced and
its use differentiates words liable
to be confused by the ear. The
Anglo Saxon seems to be doing his
best to depose r. Were it not for
