The government printing office does
not adjust these economies or gains Of
of any class to the country, which
we have Just demonstrated.
But besides it is not lawful in gene

business, for it constitutes a manifest
intraction of the actual act making
appropriations for expenses of tn;
Government, which act calls upon
industrial and wellk nown dealers and
no others for bids for public work OF
all kinds.
If that is p1iance with the law,thia
famous establishment of govermepr
would be able alone to do the work Of
public offices. which amount would
not eceed SI,ooo.oo.
And without doubt, yesterday, the
government printing offices in bid

obtained the good fortuneto secure
the printing for the coming elections.

A law SO marked and plain cannot
be disrespected, nor be shown greater
reconsideration on account of the sa

But that peculiar line of conduct IS

NEW PLANT.
Large Fertilizer { Factory Will be
Erected Here by Refuge
Cotton Oil Com
pany.

The Refuge Cotton Oil Company
Is TO erect a plant here for the
manufacture of fertilizers. The
company has had the matter un-
der consideration for some time
past, and it was definitely decided
to build the plant here last Satur-
day after Mr.. E. NJ. Durham.
of Vicksburg, who is the president
of the company, had been here
and looked oyer the ground.
The fertilizer plant, which it
will cost about $4,000 to con-
struct, will be erected on the lot
adjoining the one occupied by
the local mill of the Refuge Cot.
ton Oil Co., and will be completed
in time to have its products in the
market next season. Several
brands of high grade mixed fer
tilizers will be manufactured, and
the plant will be one of the !argest
of its kind in the State.
1t was largely through the efforts
Of Mr.. w. G. Mcclure, the effici-
ent and energetic manager of the
Columbus mill Of the Refuge Cot
ton Oil Co., that the new plant
was secured for this city. Mr.. /
Mcclure is a great believer in the /
future of Columbus AMI is one of |
the most active members of the |
Progressive Union, SO when he /
learned that the Refuge people /
had in contemplation the erection
of a fertilizer mill he Immediately /
set to work to have it established |
here. He had the advantage of |
poss essing the confidence of the |
of the company, who have
implicit faith in his judgement,
and with the natural advantages
possessed by Columbus to back
him up in the matter he had little
in securing the plant.
Every manufacturing enterprise
that we secure adds not only to
the amount of money which is
paid out here each week but adds
to our population as well, for
very man, wo man and child in
Columbus who is willing to work
already has employment, and the
operatives for the new industries
must necessarily come from the
surrounding towns.

DAVIS GUNTER.

Mr.. Almar r. Davis, a popular
travelling salesman who repre-
sents Messrs. Fairbanks & Co.,
of New Orleans, and Miss Leila
Gunter, the charming and ac-
complished daughter of Mayor J.
T. 3unter, were married in the
parlor of the Commercial hotel
at 4 80 o'clock yesterday after
noon, the ceremony being per-
formed by Rev. A. J. Miller, pas
tor of the First Baptist Church.
The wedding was very quiet
and unostentatious one, the cere-
mony being performed in the
presence of only the relatives and
a few intimate friends Of the con-
tracing parties. Mr.. and Mrs.
Davis left over the Southern rail-
way at $50 for New Orleans,
where they will spend their
honeymoon, going thence to
Baton Rouge, La, where Mr..
Davis makes his headquarters
and where they will in future re-

Fierce Fire at
Yazoo City

One of the most serious fires
in the history of Mississippi
visited Yazoo City yesterday
destroying I20 houses. The entire
business portion of the city was
swept by the flames, the postoffice
and four banks being among the
buildings destroyed. The tele.
graph wires to Yazoo City went
down soon after the news of the
fire was received here and it was
impossible to find out the origin
of the flames or the value of the
property which they destroyed.
