BENNINGTON COMPANY
CHANGES HANDS

Bennington, Nov. 13-The transfer
Of the Cooper Manufacturing Com
pany's property and business to the
Black Cat Textiles Company of Keno
sha, Wis, was announced today. The
purchasing corporation, organized un-
der the laws of Delaware, has had an
option on the business for some time
and the sale was announced on Octo-
Der 9th. The transfer, however, was
not made at that time. The represen-
tatives of the purchasing company
announce that there will be no change
in the local management of the mill at
present at least.
A. j. Cooper, the majority stock
owner in the Cooper Manufacturing
Company becomes vice-president and
is made aNdirector in the new concern
as is also Superintendent James f.
Burke. They will manage the bust
ness as in the past but will have the
assistance Of a cost engineer and eff
ficiency expert from Kenosha.
The business Of the Cooper Manu-
featuring Company was begun here in
a small way about IS years ago by the
late Charles Cooper and was operated
for time under the firm name of
Charles Cooper G. Son. The Cooper
Manufacturing Company was incorp-
GRATED in 1855. The plant now en-
ployes about 700 HANDS, the largest
number Of any single industry in Ben
nington. 1t is understood that the
new owners will expand the business.
One Of the conditions OF the proposal
to purchase was the Cooper Manufac
turing Company would first secure 2
tract Of land adjoining the factory on
Pleasant street The business Of the
Charles Cooper Estate, manufacturers
Of the Cooper knitting machines, is
not affected by the sale.

Southern Democrats are not at all
pleased with the manner in which
Attorney General Gregory ISSUED
statements regarding intimidation oil
voters, just before election. This was
designed, of course, to create the i'm
preston that the intimidation existed
in Republican circles, and in Northern
States, Mr.. Gregory declared his in
tention TO vigorously prosecute infrac-
tons of the law against intimidation
He overlooked the fact that the only
part of the country where there is
open and wholesale intimidation is in
the South where practically half the
voting population does not dare go
near the polls on election day. 1t is
quite evident that when Mr. Gregory
begins his prosecutions, he will be i'm
pressively reminded of conditions in
the section of the country from which
he halls, and he will be reminded of
his official obligations to enforce the
law impartially.

Because there is little prospect of
reward for real merit in government
service, under the policies pursued by
an administration such as this, men
who are really ambitious to serve the
country effectively, soon lose their in
terest and fall into ruts. As President
Wilson admits, the development and
the stimulation come from outside the
departments. And so it will be under
government ownership Of telephone,
telegraph, and railroad systems, if the
government ever commits itself to the

tiles.

in the Forthcoming annual reports for
the abandonment of the army horse
and mule and the substitution of the
motor tractor for the hauling of heavy
artillery. 1t is claimed that the cost
of maintenance will be much less, as
the motor requires little expense when

is asserted that tractor will turn a
