NEAR FUTURE-LARGE GUANO
FACTORY TO BE BUILT AT
JAMES

Eufaula, August 29-(Special.) 1.-The es-
tablishment of new cotton seed oil mill
here is certainty for the near future.
The old depot building, a commodious
brick structure situated southeast of the

The plant will be operated by home capi-
tai, and several prominent citizens are
connected with the new enterprise. 1t

pended In the equipment, and 1t Is known
that those connected with the manage
ment are largely interested in agricultural
interests i'll sections surrounding the city.
Messrs. Cory and Beahrs, the new man
ayers of the Daily Times and Weekly
Times and News, have assumed control
of the plant here, and are making prep
arations to have their first issue appear

as heretofore, and some neat improve
lnents will be made.
The establishment of large guano fac
tory at James is assured and the contract
for the erection of the plant has been
awarded. The plant will occupy con-
venient site along the Central railroad
tracks, and will cost approximately $12,-
900.
Some neat ai1i convenient improve
ments IN the passenger depot here are
contemplated this fall. They will add
materially to the comfort as well as the
appearance of the premises. The build
ing will be provided throughout with a
system OF electric lights, and carshed
will cover the tracks where the passengers
transfer from one line to the other.
Cotton picking throughout this section
will be going on regularly after this

CHARGE RAILROAD
CHIEFS WITH FRAUD
Warrants for Eight Former OIL.
cIaIs Of Illinois Central.

Chicago, Aug. 1S.-After series q
secret conferences, in which the mass
of evidence in the $5,000,00O Illinois
Central fraud cases was prepared for
immediate presentation to a court,
eight "informations" or warrants were
drawn up to be served shortly.
The men named in these documents
are former officials of the road who
are credited with responsibility for
the gigantic steals. Every one of the
men virtually is prisoner, although
they are housed in the most luxurious
quarters in the best hotels in the vari-
GUS watering places in the United
States and Europe.
Every one of the men, it is learned,
was under surveillance at the mo-
ment his name was affixed to the Gin
formations" and the reason for the
numerous delays is due to the fact
that all preparations for making the
arrests have not been completed.
One of the former officials who is
reputed to be "automobiling" in out
of the way places is being followed
by four private detectives. Their last
report, it is declared, was that they
were ready to make the arrest at any
time the warrants were sent to them.

politics was proved beyond question
when Hiram Johnson, progressive can
