almost driven to believe that the
fight is hopeless and that the gov
eminent, instead of controlling
the railroads, is controlled by
them; that the liberties of the
people, to say nothing of their
rights, is in jeopardy.
The report is an extensive one.
In conclusion the senator warns
the friends of the proposed legis-
lation that all their expectations
may not be realized at this session
of congress. The great influence
of the railroads, he says, might
prevent the passage of any bill at
all or the enaction of that which
would prove wholly inadequate.
"Such action on their part will in
my judgment, be very unwise and
will only dam up the water for
those most interested in these
great properties" he said. They
will not consent to wise legislation
to relieve the distress of the peo-
pie and there is danger of more
radical policies and leaders COM
ing to the front with the result
that legislation, far more drastic
and dangerous than anything
proposed in this bill and amend
ments, will be offered and will be
enacted"

DALTON-CLARK COMPANY

Enterprises Locate in Winfield Small Plants
to be Located Near Winfield

A representative of the
Southern Sentinel visited the
plant of the Dalton Clark Stave
Company Wednesday and was
met by Messrs. John NJ. Wilder,
General Manager, and James A..
Grizzard, Assistant General Man
ager, who gave him cordial re-
ception and carried him over their
extensive plant and explained the
operation of the different ma
chimes about the plant.
This company was one of the
first industrial plants put In OPP

They have capital stock of
500, 100000. The following are
the officers: @. B. Dalton,

and purchased and optioned

moved down from Huntington,
Tennessee. one being operated
here, and the other in the country
near Winfield. During the year
1904 a modern new mill was built
at Winfield. This is designed
so that the capacity could be
easily doubled. There are two
Whitney cylinder saws, four
Dram wheels, one Benson bucker,
two Strait ..planers. They have
one of the best systems of blow
piping ever used, feeding boilers
with saw dust and shavings direct
from machines. This machinery
is operated by two boilers of 100
horsepower and 6O-horsepower;

two cars of all kinds of slaves
per day, can saw about $4,000 and
finish about $4,000 per day, and
when in full operation employ
about seventy five men. They
pay their men weekly and have
no commissary.
Manager Wilder may we'll feel
proad of this plant. 1t is very
substantial, roomy and the very
best equipped stare plant in the
South. There is large platform
about 20 by 700 feet in front of
the plant, at ear level, and the
plant floor is ut the same level as
this. The plant floor is eight
feet above the ground, so that
the slaves slide down chute
from the saws and the eut-offs,
ETC., go down another chute in an
opposite direction. From the
chute they 60 to the planners,
which are in the basement. From
here they move to the yard, or
drykiln, as desired. The wheels,
drykiln and saws are all on one
level. On account of insurance
the drykiln is about 100 feet
from main building, however. q
track connects main building with
drykiln, and slaves are conveyed
to the wheels without being re-
moved from drykiln trucks.
The company is now handling
6 1000, 900 to 1000, 900, slaves of
all kinds per annum. but viii In
a short time locate three To four
country mills, which will enable
them to handle some 18,00O. 900
