EMPLOYS ABOUT 500 MEN.

GadSden, July 1l.-Nopeclal.l-by tho eA- forts of Mayor Robert Campbell of Gads- den, this city has secured another large manufacturing enterprise that will work 300 men and have pay roll of not less than $2.0OO per week. Some six weeks ago Mayor Campbell received an offer from the Central Foundry company of manager of the Bessemer pipe works plant at a large salary and he at once notified the officers that he could accept the place only upon one condition, and that was that their Gadsden plant, To- cated on Broad street, which has been idle for the past three years, be placed in immediate operation and kept going at full tilt and that he be allowed to re- main in Gadsden, his home. The officers took the matter under adyisement and last Sunday Mayor Campbell was sum- moned to St. Louis by wire to confer with the officers in reference to the mat ter.
 Today your correspondent is in receipt of intelligence that the matter has been closed and that MT. Campbell has been made manager of the Gadsden and Besse- mer plants at large salary, and with headquarters in Gaasden. The plant here of the Central Foundry company is to be placed in immediate operation. Work will be commenced at once on repairs to cost over s3,0OO and when completed the plant will open up with 800 ski workmen turning out the new universal pipe and with a weekly pay rool of not less than s2000. MT. Campbell could not have secured this splendid position and Gadsen would not have seen the starting up of this plant, except for the fact that MT Campbell declined the offer un- less the plant here would be operated at it's fullest capacity and kept running. This was agreed to. Mr. Campbell has resigned as manager of the shops of the Gadsden Pipe and Foundry company, and will at once accept his new position. The Gadsdenites are rejoicing today over her exceedingly good fortune-of securing a big plant in the dull summer months.
