Will Add Six Hundred Barrels Per
Day to the Plant at
Ragland

In order to add to the capacity of the
Ragland plant 600 barrels of cement per
day it was announced yesterday that ap-
proximately $4,000 would be expended by
the Atlantic and Gulf Portland Cement
company at once.
This company. it will be recalled, some
months ago caused a receiver to be ap-
pointed for the purpose of Strengthening
out some affairs of the company. 1t was
given out yesterday that the company $
affairs are now in first class shape 1t
is expected in local industrial circles that
the receiver will be dispensed with Just
as quickly as the legal formalities and

The officials who have been in charge
of the Ragland plant are very optimistic
over the general conditions and their
faith in business in this section is en-
phasized by the additional increase in
capacity which has been authorized.

was little excitement anywhere as yet.
cut of several possibilities Captain
kolb is the only man who has so far an
nounced his candidacy in the next guber-
material election. Il lind everywhere that
the sentiment in my favor is very strong
ard is getting stronger. All of these
old timers are for me and even the
greater part of those who formerly have
been my opponents are now coming 10
my support. | am positively sure OF being
elected; there is no doubt about it, The
general feature of my campaign is to be
my retrenchment plank and that's what
tie people appear to want. Everyone ap-
pears to think that something must be
done about the condition of the state
treasury and the retrenchment policy
appears to be the most advisable remedy
We are spending too much money
II have done no active campaign work
and will not until this summer or fall
However have been about a good deal
