DEPOT BUILDING PROJECTED.
Lake City, February A. DR. Ed
win Mcneil Poteat, president of
Furman University and an eminent
Baptist divine, preached in the Lake
City Baptist church last Friday eve
ming to a large congregation. He
chose as his text John: III, 16: For
God so loved the world that He
gave His only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in Him should
not perish, but have everlasting
life" DR. Poteat developed his text
with wonderful simplicity and true
eloquence and presented many new
thoughts and ideals that were sug-
gested to him from this much
quoted Scriptural verse. 1t were
futile to undertake to reproduce
this wonderful sermon.
Negotiations have been closed for
the purchase of lot on Acline ave-
nue. on which there is to be erected
a $4,000 steam stemmery and dry
tobacco plant. This lot, formerly the
property of Mr. B Wallace Jones, was
sold for most reasonable sum by
way of inducement for the upbuild-
ing of the town and the promotion
of the tobacco enterprise of this
place. Side tracks are to be built
from the main line of the A G L R R
running up to and through the
building, where cars may be loaded
with the greatest facility. This en-
terprise will be owned, operated and
maintained by the Imperial Tobacco
Co, of Great Britain and Ireland,
who have been represented here for
the past ten years by Mr. L A Win.
ston, who is alive to the possibilities
of the market and is doing all that
is within his power to bring this
matter to fnality. The plant will
consist of one building, which, with
it's machinery and equipment, will
cost in excess of $4,000 and which,
it is expected: will be in full opera
ton when the market opens here
next summer, employing several
, hundred workmen at good wages.
Enterprises of this nature and mag
hitude show an abiding faith in Lake
City as the leading tobacco market
of the State and are indeed encour-
aging to all who have the best in
terests of this hustling little city at
heart.
1t is rumored on the streets that
Lake City is soon to have a new
brick depot, although there has
been no official announcement to
this effect from the powers that
be-" However, great interest is be-
ing manifested and it is hoped that
there is some truth in the report.
There seem to be two sides to the
question of this proposed new sta
ton, and it is reported that there are
some who favor waving the town
ordinance as to repairing wooden
buildings within the fire limits and
remodeling the present wooden
structure with such additions as are
necessary for the prompt and effic-
lent handling of freight, baggage
and passengers, and waiting till the
town comes nearer to it's ultimate
growth and then building a depot
more in accordance with the size
and business of the town. Others
incline to the view that this Gate
way to Opportunity is quite large
enough now to afford handsome
