ANOTHER sALABLR PRODUCT.
Company Organized to Build Plant
to Manufacture Paper,

Atlanta, Ca, June 1S.-At a di-
rectors' meeting of the Southern Cot
ton Stalk Pulp and Paner Company's
Office In the Gambler Llilding, the
contract for the erection of the ini-
tial paper mill at Corde.e for the
manufacture of paper from cotton
stalks, was awarded to the Arm of
Little & Phillips, of Cordele and
Fitzgerald.
The building is to be one Of the
finest and most commodious in the
South. The dimensions of the build
ing will be so by 800 feet, with an L
40 by $50 feet, three stories high,
with double fire walls. The mate
rial to be used in the construction
will be brick and concrete and the
same will be fire proof. The work
on the building will begin at once.
and the same Is to be completed on
or before October 18th, at which
time the company will be ready to
manufacture paper
The capacity of the plant will be
40 tons of paper per day, as two ma
chimes will be installed. One ma
chine will manufacture wax, tissue,
toilet and blotting paper, and utilize
cotton seed hulls instead of rags for
a portion of the output. The other
machine will make wrapping, hard
ware and bag paper. The number Of
men to be employed will be from so
to rs, most Of whom will be first
class workmen, and the weekly pay
roll will be approximately $3.50. The
plant will be operated day and night.
The site for the plant is located in
the city of Cordele. and includes
about seventeen acres.
The promoters say that there are
cotton stalks enough in the South to
supply the whole world with paper.
Through the utilization of that which
goes to waste, it is estimated that
$50,000,O00 would be gained to the
cotton growers each year
From one and half tons of stalks
one ton Of paper can be made. and
the annual consumption of paper per
year Is only nine million tons. They
also claim that the use of the cotton
stalk will destroy the boil weevil.
This mill is the first of It's kind in
the world, and the promoters" say,
will revolutionize the making of pa
per- There are ONLY six paDer mills
manufacturing paper in the South,
and the making Of paper from the
by-product promises to be one Of the
leading industries of the South.

Operations Will Now Proceed on a Larger Scale.

Word comes from Bouse that things are progressing nicely at the Little Butte mine, though little has been said recently concerning it. The new hoist for the shaft has been re- ceived and is now in commission Instead of elevating little 500 pound mouthfuls. the hoist can now bring up a ton of rock or dirt or ore at one trip. which materially increases the possibilities of operation
 The old hoist has been taken to the site of the new perpendicular shaft that has been started a few hundred feet away and that may some day become the main working shaft The hoist is not yet placed, but it will be soon when sinking will be pushed as

HIT BY FLOWER POT:
PROBABLY OWES HIS
LIFE TO DERBY HAT
Formidable Receptacle, Weighted with
Several Pounds of Earth, Falls
from a Window Ledge,
Striking Passerby

Franklin W. Morton, of 3211a West
Second street, was standing in front of
the Boston rooming house, 3071a West
Third street, yesterday afternoon when
one of the heavy flower pots from
the windows above fell and struck him
on the head. Fortunately he was wear
ing a derby hat of an extra heavy
grade and this probably saved his life.
Morton fell to the sidewalk with a
groan and lay there writhing in pain
until the ambulance came and took him
to the receiving hospital. That his
skull was not fractured is considered
marvellous. The flower pot was q large
one and contained several pounds of
dirt.
The windows on both floors of the
Boston rooming house are filled with
flower pots. There are approximately
a dozen ported plants in all. The
window lodges slant at such an angle
that the pots have been tied down by
strings to keep them from siding out.
Of course the strings soon rotted and
the flower pot in question soon left
to slide down. Why fate should have
given it the final jar which sent it
over the edge just as a man was stand
ing underneath is a problem which
Morton is trying to solve.
The falling missile also came near
hitting a woman who was passing by
at the time.
After striking Morton on the head
the flower pot glanced and struck his
right leg, causing a laceration of sew
eral inches. His scalp was slightly
bruised.
After his injuries had been dressed
Morton left the hospital apparently but
little the worse for his experience.
