EDITORIAL COMMENT.

The attention of voters living in what were
formerly Corvallis precincts number 2 and 3, is
called to the fact that the portions of these pre-
cincts which lie outside of the city limits have
been attached to Corvallis precinct number I. Pre-
cincts 2 and now lie wholly within the limits o
Corvallis. This change made at the Novem-
Der session of the commissioners court. AT the
same session portion of Alsea precinct, compris.
ing territory in the vicinity of the Benton County
Sawmill was added to Philomath precinct

We noted in Our last Issue the disgraceful attack
made the Dallas visitors to the basket ball game
and hope shall never have to chonice such an
other incident. The hoodlums who did it are
we'll known, and their friends are apo1ogizing fol
them. The patience of the people of this city has
reached the limit, and Nemesis waits for them in
the near future. 1t will probably take the shape
of good and we'll deserved beating, and it is the
wish of the community that it be we'll applied.

TO HAVE
 4 GLASS FACTORY
WILL BE SHIPPED
 FROM ANDERSON, IND., WITHIN NEXT 30 DAYS AND WILL BE RAP IDLY INsTALLED-oTHER NEWS

Anniston, June 19.-(Special )-The ma chinery for the glass factory to be built here will be shipped from Anderson, Ind, within the next thirty days and will be installed as rapidly as possible. A num- Der of the buildings now in use at An derson will be brought here. The com pany has already commenced work at the Dixie Tile and Pottery company which 1t has leased and the brick for the new glass factory will be manufactured right away. Mir Faivre, president of the company stated that he thought his plant would be only a forerunner of many sim liar plants and would mark the opening of an era of glass manufacturing in this section. He states that numerous glass plants in Pennsylvania and Indiana are being forced to seek new locations on account of the supply of natural gas, upon which they depend for fuel being almost exhausted. The inducements of fered by Anniston in the way of fuel and the quality of sand make it an ideal place for the industry He believes that at least two other glass factories will be established here during the next year. The company which will operate the brick yard in Oxford will be known as the Oxford Fire Brick company It will be incorporated with a capital stock of $10,O00 and will be offfcered as follows:
 President-J. A. Faivre.
 Secretary and Treasurer-.G. J. Jones.

 In an opinion rendered yesterday Judge H. D. McCarty terminated a matter that has been pending for some time. It was the case of the Anniston National and First National banks vs. W. B. Smith, trustes of the Anniston rolling mills, bankrupt. Sometime before it's failure the Anniston rolling mills borrowed some money from these banks. Iron was given as security This was stored on the grounds but in a warehouse leased by the banks. A little later the company be- came badly crippled, and the creditors committee was appointed to sell the prop erty and distribute proceeds in accord anee with existing liens The property was sold and the money turned over to MT W. w. Stringfellow for distribution. About this time the concern was thrown into bankruptcy and MT. W. B. Smith, trustee, called on Mir. Stringfellow for the money. All except the amount claimed by the banks was turned over. Repre- scented by Blackwell & Agee and Lapsley & Arnold, MT. Smith demanded this, conV tending that the lien the company had> given the banks was invalid The banks were represented by Knox Acker & Blackmon, and the case was argued be- fore Judge McCarty. The taking of evil dence consumed considerable time In his opinion Judge McCarty hald that the lien of the banks was valid and that they were entitled to the money in the hands of MT Stringfellow.
