BIG PAPER FACTORY

for the manufacture of paper from cot

by the middle Of September. Its construc-
ton. will mark anew detail In the manu-
featuring history of the south and VIII
also bring out q new phase OF the cotton
growing industry.
trbrouqh the Utilization of the cotton
STALKS, which now go to waste, 1t Is es-
timated that about s4o.00O,OOO would De
gained to the southern cotton grower.
The plants that will. furnish one bale
of cotton win furnish a ton Of stalks. The
southern cotton crop. ranges from 1O,OOO'-
900 to 100000 bales. so the tonnage OF
stalks would be from 100000 to lS,OOO'-
OO0; and the manufacturers who are 10

PLANS PREPARED.
Aslocal architect, Miss Henrietta Dozier,
has prepared the plans for the new plant

EVERY KIND OF PAPER.
IT is believed by those composing the
Southern Cotton Stalk Pulp and Paper
Co., that any sort of paper can be man
ufactured from cotton stalks, but 1t is
principally wrapping paper that will be
produced. 1t is said that such paper made
from cotton stalks is more durable than
any other sort.
II is not merely the stalk of the cotton
plant that IS to be utilized, however,
but also every other part left after the
cotton itself has been picked. Even
the roots can be used.
1t is believed that there are cotton
stalks enough in the south to supply the
whole world with paper. From ton
and half of stalks a ton of paper can
be made, and the annual consumption OF
paper the world over is only nine mil
lion tons. One-half of that is used in the
United States.
This manufacture of paper from cotton
STALKS would be important, too. in more
than one respect. L. o. Howard, chief
of the bureau of entomology at Washing
ton has said: "If cotton stalks come into
universal use for the making of paper
pulp the saving annually will be not
less than $4,000. Goa. simply through wiping
out the boil weevil. The boil weevil
could not exist for a season If the dead
stalks were pulled from the fields
He was a member of several popular Sc
cret orders of the city. He was about 80
years Of age.

A Correction.

In Wednesdays issue of The Daily
Journal there was a typographical error
in my correspondence. 1 said that the
Bank of Whigham had lost about $4,000
on A. d. oliver and 1t apparel in the
paper as $4,000. 1 stated further that
the bank was practically safe for a regain
of all this loss, inasmuch as oliver made
deeds to the bank for valuable property
that had been decided to him by reliable
parties. / wish to state further for fear
that some might misconstrue the news
paper report that / am reliably informed
that the bank has about $4,000 in val
liable security to back up divers worth
less checks therefore. every depositor can
feel fully satisfied that the Bank OF
whigham is stronger today, financially,
than ever before, according to the pres
ent outlook.

Gov. Smith Pays Prison Board.

Governor Smith Friday morning signed
warrant for 5000 in favor of the prison
commission, and 1t is explained that the
money will enable the board to square all
of its outstanding accounts. including the
pay roll for May, rations, fertilizers, etc.
purchased since January i, ASO9.e rt,s
There has been some friction between
the executive and the commission, grow
ing out of the fact that the commission,
It appeared, was drawing on its appro-
priation for the current year to pay w
accounts for 1907 and 1908. All Of this has
been Strengthened up and the 5000, which
was allowed Friday by the governor, Will
enable the commission to balance its
books UP to date. ~.

RAILWAY DELEGATES
CLOSE CONVENTIONS

One OF the most successful meetings
ever held by the Railway Nail associa-
ton. which has been in session here since
Tuesday in annual convention, came to a
close Friday morning at 2 o'clock, and
the seventeeth conclave OF that organiZa-
ton is now history. In order that the
business Of the convention might be fin-
ished Friday morning to allow the dele
gates to catch trains to their respective
homes, Il was decided to hold a night
session. and il was o'clock before the
oody adjourned.
The most important action taken Thurs
day night was the election Of officers 10;
the ensuing year, and the selection Of a
place Of meeting for next year. There was
no contest in any case. and the following
were elected:
James T. CanfeId, Syracuse, n. Y.
president; p. ]. Schardt, Sauckville, Wis,
vice president; George A Wood, Ports
mouth. y. H, secretary; W. w. Bishop,
Scion. o., auditor; r. c. White, Atlanta.
auditing committee; T. L. Senseman. Chi
cago. auditing committee; committee on
claims. F. ]. Masten. Cincinnati. The last
named committee also has on Il the audi
tor and secretary.
KANSAS CITY SELECTED.
Kansas City was chosen unanimously as
the next meeting place. and the eigh-

first Tuesday OF next June. II had been
thought that a tight would be made by
other cities for the convention but agree
ment was reached by the representing
delegates from each before this order of
business was reached, and when the in
vitation from Kansas City was rendered
by George H. Fair, OF the seventh divi-
sion. il was accepted unanimously.
Mr.. Garfield was placed in nomination
by Hugh Musselwhite. of the ninth divi-
sion, and the mere mentioning of the
presidents name brought forth cheer af-
ter cheer, and the secretary was finally
instructed to cast the vote for the con-
vention in favor of the nominee.
.Ae same followed in the election of all
the candidates. and this part of the pro-
gram was quickly gone through.
Mr.. CANFIEDs RECORD.
Mr. Garfield attended his first conven-
ton in Fort Worth in October Of 1907, and
this is the first meeting held since that
time.
I'D to that time he had only held d.
vision and local offices in the ninth d.
vision, but there he was elected vice presi-
dent. Shortly afterward the president
elected at Fort Worth resigned, and Vice
President Garfield, was then placed at the
helm for the unexpired term. His unani-
nous election here is a splendid indorse-
ment of his administration.
As a climax in the entertainment, the
fourth division arranged an old-time
Georgia barbecue for Friday afternoon at
East Point.

THREE SECRETARIES
OF NEW GOVERNOR

c. @. Brantley, of Valdosta; A.. H. Ulm,
OF Atlanta, and B. M. Blackburn, also OF
Atlanta, will be the executive secretaries
under the new administration, IL is re-
liably stated. Mr.. Brantley will succeed
to the position now held by Calvin M.
Hitch, of Brooks county: Mr.. Ulm will
be the new governors private secretary,
and Mr.. Blackburn will succeed Josiah
Carter as minute secretary.
Governor-elect Brown has made no Of
fetal announcement as to the personnel
of his clerical force, but, the foregoing

go into the executive office, and yester-
day It became known that Mr. Brantley
was slated for the remaining secretary
ship Mr.. Brantley is editor of the Val
dosta Times, and was one of the COVER
nor-elects most ardent supporters in his
canvass for election. He has many
friends throughout the state who will
learn with pleasure OF his selection.
Mr.. Ulm is the Atlanta correspondent
OF d number of out-of-town papers, and
rendered invaluable service to Mr.. Brown
during his race. He is credited with hav-
ing been the Warwick of the campaign,
and certain 1t is that Mr.. Browns candi-
dacy was due In large part to Mr.. Ulm's
efforts.
Mr. Blackburn Is secretary of the state
executive committee. He was engaged in
the governor-elect's campaign headquar-
tiers in Atlanta during the campaign. He,
too. is a newspaper man, but retired from:

Of the country
II as brought out In the debate that a

the United States for the whole length OF
the route. although this railroad run
through Mexico a good part OF the way.
ire authorities bought these metal sup
rlies. such as steel rails. etc, from the

ant the price was different as soon as
the state line was crossed. the difference
fespz several dollars In each ton, because

Remainder. Il was a continuous line OF
railroad. and IL was the identical same
steel rails. owned by same makers, that
laid each part OF the track, but every
ton Of these rails was taxed enormously
IN the United States. and largely relieved
OF the tariff tax in Mexico.
The argument used that manufacturer
must be petted while the farmer must do
the best he may Cunder difhculties), GER
stainly Is a far-fetched one.
ress than two years ago a panic fell on
effx country with no appreciable cause to

manufactured interests were granted a
tariff beyond anything this country ever
knew before. but blight and desolatior
swept over the whole land. Now, with

named Hawkins Daniel at the corner OF
Rawson and Fraser streets, Saturday
night about o'clock, according to the
