FLAX STRAW
OXFORD LINEN MILLS COMING
IN AS BuYERS-STOP
BURNING

Are you a burner Of fax straw? Mil
lions of tons are burned by farmers
and growers every autumn, because
there has been no market for the So
called waste" after the seed is Sc
cured. But that enormous destruc-
tion of splendid fibre is to be stop
ped. s,@ a.
~ These millions of tons of rubbish
are to be transformed into millions of
dollars-not magically by the waving
of an enchanter's wand, but in thor
oughly practical, progressive, indus
trial way, that, from a fine CONNER
cial beginning, will rapidly develop
until there will be profitable marke,
for three or four times the amount of
fax now raised in this country.
Do you know why there has never
before been such demand for Amer
lean fax straw, which averages far
better than that used by Europeans,
to make that worlds linen?
1t is because the only methods here
tofore known for converting fax straw
into linen fabric required so much
time ZIG to 80 weeks) that America
was not able to compete with Europe,
where the work lis done by miserably
paid peasantsa class of labor wholly
unknown i'm this country. That is why
American fax straw, suited to making
the finest linen in the world, has been
burned or allowed to decay in the open
fields year after year,
Butafter two thousand years OF
waiting during which time linen fibre
has been secured by exactly the same
slow methods that were employed by
the early Egyptians science has
come to our relief. An American In
Yentor Benjamin Cushing Nudge, OF
Massachusetts, Institute Of Technolo-
gy, has perfected some wonderful
mechanical and chemical processes

WILL BUILD BRIDGE
OVET THE TALLAPOOSA
Contract for Structure at MiIler's Fer
ry Calls for Outlay of
$4,000.

Dadeville, May .--(Special 1.-THE
commissioner court of this county has
let the contract to j. H. and w. l..
Wynn to erect lattice bridge across
the Tallapoosa river at Miller's Ferry.
The contract price of the bridge is
$4,000, it will be built across the
lower end of the island just above
Millers Ferry. There is a good nat
ural foundation for the bridge at the
site selected and it will be necessary
to build only two of the piers in the
water.
From where the Tallapoosa river
enters -Tallapoosa county to East Tai
lassee, with the meanderings of the
river is about lis miles and at pres
ent there is not a single bridge IN this
distance. The county is out of debt
and has nearly $4,000 in the treas
ury, SO the bridge can be built and the
ordinary expenses of the county paid
without mourning any debt.
The prospects for cotton crop in
this county are not very flattering. A
large part of the early crop will have
to be planted over and it has rained
so much that farmers have been un-
able to finish up planting. The oil
mill here Is furnishing seed to the
farmers at the market price and there
is no scarcity of seed.

legislature the five banks of Pensacola

three weeks since in the senate. was
yesterday passed in the house and IN
formation of such a NATURE reached
Pensacola this morning. 1t is believed
here that the enactment of this law
will result in the adding of several
thousand dollars each year to the
treasury of the city. but it virtually
abolishes. according to some, the OF
flee of treasurer. as the latter under an
immense bond cannot do as he sees
fit with the funds of the city.
In the recent primaries two of the
banks had candidates for the once
with the expectancy of receiving the
city deposits and both went to con-
siderable expense in the campaign
but under this law the council now
has the authority to designate where
the funds shall be deposited.
