Hamilton Clay Manufacturing Co.
Going Forward With Full Com
plement Of Men and Doing
Fine Business.
TURNS OUT FINE WORK
Season Promises TO be One Of the
Largest in company's History
and Big Success Attends
Its Efforts.

One OF the most important manu-
featuring concerns In Hamilton Is
the Hamilton Clay Manufacturing Co
This institution has been successful
from the start. 1t took hold OF the
new conditions when the uplift came
to Hamilton from the water power en-
terprise and has been one of the most
aggressive factory concerns in this
part of the country. That the insti-
tuition Is appreciated is attested In
ample manner by the following article
appearing In the Hamilton ulll Press:
The Hamilton Clay Manufacturing
Company began work last Friday with
q full force of men, after shut down
of nearly four weeks.
This Is the first shut down for this
place since 1t began active operation
over a year ago and was occasion
ed by the coal famine.
However the manager. Mr.. Plumb,
took advantage of this enforced idle
ness TO make number OF needed re-
pairs which will add to the efficiency
of the plant.
Nearly all the brickyards in the mid
die west shut down at the beginning
of the cold weather and will remain
idle until the frost is entirely out of
the ground.
Many OF them could not begin work
until April or May rs with very few
exceptions they are carrying very
large stocks and are having very little
demand for ware.
It Is Very fortunate that the Hamit
ton Clay Manufacturing Company
equipped their plant so that it can be
operated in winter, for instead of hay.
ing an immense stock on hand with NO
demand, they are oversold on both
brick and hollow block to an extern,
that will keep the plant running for
about sixty days even though they
should make no farther sales. and il
the present demand for tile continues
through the spring months, their large
stock of that will be exhausted long
before the end of the spring tiling.
A short time ago this plant sent
some OF their hollow blocks to the
State University 10 be tested as tc
their wall resistance While they felt
sure that their blocks were the best
made anywhere yet they were very
agreeably surprised at the remarkable
report OF this test, Out OF six blocks
tested the poorest showed a wall re
sistance OF 400 pounds to the sQuar,

Inasnnuch as the strain to which

WE BOW OUR THANKS

In the course of a long editorial.
the Ocala Star of Tuesday said;
Even though Florida instructs for
Wilson, i twill be best to send avow-
ed Wilson men to Baltimore, to carry
out the instructions Of the people.
Florida will send twelve delegates to
the national democratic convention.
There are a number of candidates for
the honor, and the avowed Wilson
men are as follows:
Estate at Large: J. E. Alexander, A.
J. Angle, Montcalm Broward, John H.
Deane, Hoyes H. Lewis. George G.
Mathews.
First Congressional District: W.
K. Zewadski, Wayne Thomas. With
the second and third districts the
Star is not concerned.
"Cut out the names of those men
or commit them to memory and put
crosses before them next Tuesday.
CAS- far as the Star is personally
concerned, it will make an exception
in the list of delegates from the state
at large. Mr. Frank Harris, editor OF
the Ocala Banner. desires to be one
of the men who will go to Baltimore.
The Star thinks he is entitled to the
honor more. than any other one man
in the state. 1t believes that If Flor
ida instructs for Wilson, he will
faithfully carry out the instructions
The Star office will vote for him sol
i'd, and hopes Ocala and Marion coun-
ty will follow suit 1t would be a
proper and graceful thing to do; de
served compliment to one who has
carried a democratic standard for
well-nigh half a century"
The editor of this paper appreciates
| the kindly words of Editor Benjamin
and assures him that he will paste
the same in his scrap book as one OF
his treasures.

LET'S RETAIN SPARK MAN
Ocala, Fla, April "a, 191:

Ocala, Fla, April "a, 1912.
To the Editor Ocala Banner:
The greatest good that could come
to Marion, Putnam, Lake, Sumter,
Citrus and Levy counties would be
the deepening of the Oklawaha and
Withlacoochee rivers, so that they
would be navigable to the lakes in
which they head. 1t would reduce
freight rates SO to so per cent, which
would amount to a saving of several
hundred thousand dollars annually to
each of the counties named. And now
that Mr.. Sparkman, as chairman OF
the rivers and harbors committee of
ceeded in having this work begun,
having secured this year $4,000 for
the Withlacoochee river and $4,000
for the Oklawaha river, | cannot see
how anyone in this section of the
state can vote against him going
back to congress next term and con-
tinuing in the work he has begun.
There is no living man who can do
Florida as much good in congress the
coming term as Mr. S. NJ Sparkman,
on account of his being chairman of
the rivers and harbors committee.
If it were only question of swap
ping chairmen on that committee it
would be a different thing, but Flor
ida never before had the chairman
ship of that committee, and probably
never will have it again, in case Mr..
Sparkman should not be returned to
congress.
Not to return Mr.. Sparkman to con-
gress would be very great misfor
tune to this district In the present
status of our waterway development
We cannot get along without Mr..
Sparkman in congress
1t is not for Mr.. Sparkman' benefit
that we want him there, but for the
benefit he can do us as chairman of
the rivers and harbors committee in
developing our waterways.

I'm the crows nest, or lookout, and

two hours lunch.

had been sighted only a quarter of a
mile away, the crash came simultan.
eously with the click of the levers,
which stopped the engines and closed

Captain Smith was on the bridge
almost moment later, giving orders
for the calling of passengers and the
putting on of life preservers and the
lowering of the lifeboats.
''The first boats lowered contained
more men passengers than the latter
ones, as the men were on deck first
and not enough women were there to
fill them.

Did Officers Suicide?

Members of the crew discredit all
reports of suicide, and say Captain
Smith remained on the bridge until
just before the ship sank, leaping
only juts before the waves washed
the deck.
What became of the men with life
preservers is a question asked since
the disaster by many persons. The
preservers did their work of support
ing their wearers in the water until
the ship went down. Many of those
drawn into the vortex, despite the
preservers, did not come up again.

Woman Dies With Her Husband
"Isador Strauss, supporting his
wife on her way to a lifeboat, was
held back by an memorable guard.
Another officer strobe to help her
to a seat of safety, but she brushed
away his arm and chung to her hus-
band, crying, I'll not go without you.
Another woman took her place,
and her form, clinging to her hus-
band, became part of a picture, now
drawn indelibly in many minds.
Neither wife nor husband, so far as
anyone knows, reached a place of
safety.
Colonel Aston, holding his young
wife's arm, stood decorously aside as
the officer spoke TO him, and Mrs.

Officers Knew Iceberes Were Near

THE facts which | have establish
ed by inquiries on the Carpathia, y
says Mr. Hurd, in. view of the silence
of the surviving officers, are:
That the Titanic's officers knew,
several hours before the crash, of the
possible nearness of icebergs.
That the Titanic's speed, nearly
twenty-three knots an hour. was not
slackened.
THAT the number of lifeboats on
the Titanic was insufficient to ac-
commodate more than one-third of
the passengers.
Not Over Twenty Lifeboats on Board
Most members of the crew say
there were sixteen lifeboats and two
collapsibles, none say there We're
more than twenty boats in all. The
700 who escaped filed most of the
sixteen lifeboats and the one collaps
ible, which got away, to the limit OF
their capacity.
