To Place stock Here.
The capital stock is 100000, of
which $39, 900 is preferred. and il is the
desire of the promoters to place $4,000
in this city. The remainder of the
$4,000 will be taken by outside par
ties. Mr.. Petrie stated today that he
was satisfied that financing the com
pany will be an easy matter.
AS a leader. the company as its
name indicates, proposes to manufac-

Mr.. Petrie. Other lines will be taken
up in due time.
The old cotton factory now belongs
to S. S. Davis. 1t has been unoccupied

member that although the problems
to be solved change from generation
to generation. the spirit in which their
solution must be attempted remains
forever the same. 1t is in peace as it
is in war Tactics change and weapons
change.
This government was formed with
as its basic idea the principle of treat
ing each man on his worth IS man,
of paying no heed TO whether he was
rich or poor, no heed to his creed or
Lis social standing. but only TO the
way in which he performed his duty
to himself. TO his neighbor, to the state.
From this principle we can not afford
to vary by so much as a hands breadth.
Many republics have risen in the past,
and some of them flourished long, bur
sooner or later they fell; and the cause
most potent in bringing about their
fall was in almost all cases the fact
that they grew TO be governments in
in the interests of class in
stead of governments in the
interest of all. 1t made no differ
ence as 10 which class it was that thus
wrested to it's own advantage the gov
ernmental machinery
Must Have Justice.
1T was ultimately as fatal to the
cause of freedom whether it was the
rich who oppressed the poor or the
poor who plundered the rich. The
crime of brutal disregard of the rights
of others is as much a crime when it
mauifpStS itself in the shane of greed
and brutal arrogance on the one side.
as when it manifests itself in the shape
of envy and lawless violence on the
other. Our aim must be TO deal just
ice to each man mo more and no less.
This purpose must find its expression
and support not merely in our collect
i've action through the agencies of the
government, but in our social attitude.
Rich man and poor man must alike
feel that on the one hand they are
protected by law and that on the other
hand they are responsible to the law;
for each is entitled to be fairly dealt
with by his neighbor and by the state;
and if we as citizens of this nation are
true to ourselves and TO the traditions
of our forefathers such fair measure
of justice shall always be dealt 10
each man; so that as far as We caQ
bring il about each shall receive his
dues. each shall be given the chance to
show the stuff there is in him. shall
be secured against wrong, and in turn
prevented from wronging others. More
than this no man is entitled TO, and
less than this no man shall have.
