Among the leading lumber working
plants in Savannah, is the Vale Royal
Manufacturing Company whose extern
sive plant is situated at Mill Haven,
on Factory avenue, near its intersec-
ton with Schwartz avenue. Establish
ed at it's present site in 1884, the his

rapid, but substantial growth, and to-

able prosperity. This mill handles SOLE

ing foated down the Savannah river
directly to the mill. Running ten hours

on larger scale be secured and This
led to the formation in July 1900. of
a corporation having a capitalization
of 100000, and the removal of the
plant to its present site on the river

of the new plant the capacity was

A Successful Savannah En-
terpriSe-FaSt Becoming a
Company of National Repu-
tatiOn.

The conspicuous success achieved by
the holalo Company, Savannah en-
terprise, induces us to make particular
mention of that company in this edi-
ton. Organized a few years ago with a
small capital and covering only a cir
cumscribed local territory, Kalola Com
pany's product has achieved a nation
al reputation, in fact shipments have
been made to European countries.
Thrice since its organization, the facil-
tiles and capital of this company have
been increased to meet the require
ments of it's ever extending business.
Kalola travelling men are met with in
every Southern state, in addition to
which it has active representation in
every city in the North, the
West and in Canada. A Western
headquarters has been established In
Chicago. with Mr.. Chas. Bernard, late
of this city, as manager.
Simplicity in all things seems to be
the secret of success, and this is true in
connection with Kalola. The drug con-
sists simply of combination of crystals
containing the medicinal properties of
four celebrated mineral springs. The
proposition of obtaining these crys-
tails was first advanced and discussed
at a conference of noted physicians;
research on the subject and the full
perfection of the formula was made
by a noted Virginia physician and
Kalola is now openly recommended by
numerous medical men of reputable
standing.
The success of the Kalola Company is
gratifying to all public spirited citizens
having the exploitation and success of
Southern enterprises at heart

first street, on March 4, and he secur-
ed two diamond rings, some watches
and other jewelry and $S5 in cash. Inc
diamonds, he said he thought were
paste, and he threw them away.
Brooks told the captain that he had
made two or three successful robberles
in Eighty-sxth street, but he added:
Its not good up there. There's moth
ing like the swell districts to be sue
cesful in
In answer to questions Brooks said
he had been arrested twice before. The
first time was eleven years ago in New
Haven for burglary, and he served
three years.
What did you enter?" Capt Langan
asked.
The same old thins-private dwell
ings," was the answer. There's moth
ing like them"
Some time after, Brooks said, he was
arrested at Long Branch on a charge
of manslaughter He said that a Mrs.
Hibbits was friend of his wife, and
that he went to call on her one day. He
carried a gun in his pocket and acct
dentally shot the women through the
heart. He served two years for this
crime.
Capt. Langan said that Brooks was
the most clever and most gentleman
ly burglar who had come to police
headquarters in many years. He said
that if Brooks was sentenced on all
the crimes confessed he would have to
serve 60 to 100 years.
In speaking of Brooks wife, Capt
Langan said:
II do not wish to discuss her. 1t is
enough to know that she is a good
woman and knows nothing about her
husband being a burglar. What fine
clothes he gave her she always thought
were honestly obtained by him, and
she did not know that she was wear
ing clothes of some woman who had
been robbed. know where Mrs Brooks
is living, but I will not tell, and do
not intend to at any time
At 81 West Firty-third street, which
Brooks said was the last place he had
lived at in New York it was learned
that he had lived there. 1t is a four
story brown-stone house, the last in
the row toward Sixth avenue. A ne
gro woman opened the door, and, in
answer to questions, said that Brooks
and his wife boarded there for three
weeks and on Sunday disappeared. She
said that Mrs. Gilbert, who kept the
house, had been out of town since
Tuesday.
