S1,OOO,OOO COMPANY
CORPORATION ORGANIZED FOR
 NEW INDUSTRY.
Concern Perfected In Selma To Manu- fracture Portland Cemen6--f4mrge Portion of Stock Held By
 AIahamians.
Advertiser Bureau,

Selmas Nov. IT
 At a meeting held here last pight an organization was perfected which will be known as the Winona Portland Cement Company. The capital stock of the company Is placed at S1,000,0 all the stock being taken by capitalists in Alabama and Mississippi. A large quantity of the stock of the company is held by Selmians, as is also con- siderable of the stock by citizens of Birmingham and Meridian.
 It is the purpose of the company to erect and operate a plant for the man. ufacture of Portland cement. This plant will be erected at Epps Ala, where the company owns large bed of cement rock which is almost inexhaustihle. Work upon the erection of the plant will be started soon, and it Is believed the plant will be In running order and turning out daily thousands of barrels of cement by February. 1908.
 The plant which the company pro- poses to erect upon the ground which they own at Epps, will have eapaG- ity to start with, of between 1,500 and 2,o00 barrels daily. Of the capital stock of the company &s0e,0e0 will be spent in the erection of the plant for the manufacture of the cement which
 The cement deposit owned by the company is splendidly located in sum- ter County. It is easily accessible to both the Tombighee and Warrior RiY- CTS. and is also traYersed by the Southern Railway, This will give the company splendid shippang facilities for the product, which they will Hnanufact- ure and place upon the market, and from the start there is no doubt that the investment made by the stockhold- CTS in the company will prove pay ing one.
 
 at the meeting which perfected the or- ganization of the company last night, 1t is thought the main offices of the company will be located in this city. Orders for the cement manufactured will be received and issued from this city. It Is also probable that large warehouse will be located in Selma, and many thousand barrels of the cement will be shipped from nere annually.
 Papers of Incorporation of the com pany were filed in the office of the Pro- bate Judge of Sumter County, NoYem- ber IA. Other papers necessary will be filed within the next few days. At the meeting last night all officers of the company were elected, with the exception of the president The presi- dent vii be chosen at q future meet ing. The officers elected are:
 J. P. Wetherbee, Waynesboro Miss, vice-president; Houston Armstrong, Selma, treasurer; George W. Cater, Jr., Meridian. Miss, assistant treasurer; J. P. Wetherbee, Waynesboro. Miss, George W, Cater. IT,, Meridian, Miss, W. M. Vaughan, J. F. Hooper and N. Waller of Selma directors.
