WILLIAMS TELLS
OF auto ACCIDENT
Says George Johnson Stepped
In Front Of Machine-Lived
Months.

J. F. Williams, the well-known au-
tomobile man, has furnished The Tri-
bune with a statement concerning the
accident which resulted in the death
of George Johnson, a colored man,
whose widow sued Mr.. Williams for
$4,000 damages.
Mr.. Williams says he was driving
north on Main street and was going
reasonably slow. There was a heavy
snow on the ground and a gang OF
men were working in front of the
paint factory. He blew his horn sew
cral times, ne said, and they started
to drive by the men. Just as he ap-
preached them ne says Johnson
stepped in front of his machine.
The auto struck him, knocking the
negro down. He stopped the car be-
fore the front wheels passed over him
which indicates that Mr.. Williams
was not driving rapidly. He helped
rescue the negro and then drove him
to the Office of a physician, who in
formed Johnson that he was not bad
ly hurt. The colored man lived sew
eral months after the accident and
was seen on the street frequently, Mr.
Williams says.

Twin Cities Raise $50, 900 In
TwoDays As Bonus-$10,-
600 More Needed
OTHER FACTORIES
ARE EXPECTED SOON
Cane To Be Asked To Support
Twin Cities In Effort To
Land Plants.

The sum of $4,000 has already
been subscribed as bonus at limo
for the establishment of an immense
factory for the manufacture of the
finest grades of chinaware, according
to a citizen of Illmo who was in the
city Saturday afternoon.
The representatives of an eastern
corporation visited limo recently and
after making exhaustive examination
of the clay in the hills around the
city made an offer to establish large
plant there if the people of limo and
vicinity would subscribe bonus OF
$4,000 towards the enterprise.
Several committees were appointed
10 work the Twin Cities for subscrip-
tions and Friday morning began their
canvass. Before night they had Sc
cured $4,000. Twenty thousand dol
lars more were subscribed Friday
night, leaving only $4,000 to be made
up.
TIE deposits of kaolin which will
be used in the manufacture of the
chinaware is found in the hills along
the Mississippi River in the neighbor-
hood of the Thebes bridge and south
of there and back of Illmo. The ex-
perts examining the clay said it was
as fine a grade of kaolin as can be
found anywhere in the United States
and is from 40 to so per cent pure.
There are said to be about six or
seven grades of the clay. The coarser
grades are used in the manufacture
of pottery, but the pure high-grade
quality found near Illmo is the kind
that is used in the manufacture of
the finest grades of chinaware. The
experts for the eastern corporation
said there was enough of it in Scott
County to make it the chinaware CEN
ter of the world.
Most Of the plants manufacturing
chinaware are located in the east and
the required grade of kaolin is scarce
in many places and it is necessary
to ship it in from a long distance.
This freight on the raw material can
be saved by locating the factories
near the source of supply. {
About three hundred men will be
employed in the plant tnat is to be
erected at limo and this factory will
likely be followed by others. The
demand for the manufactured product
is ahead of the supply. The Euro
pean manufacturers have been ship
ping chinaware all over the world,
but after the war is over America
will be in a position to take over some
of the markets formerly enjoyed by
German manufacturers. the Ameri-
can merchant marine will carry prod
ucts to foreign shores.
A committee Of limo business men
will visit Cape Girwardeau to induce
business men here, especially whole
salers and merchants having a good
trade in limo and Fornfelt. to sub
scribe to the bonus fund. Any in
crease in the production of wealth at
limo will benefit tire dealers in the
Cape.
The chinaware company will And
excellent transportation facilities at
limo, the best in Southeast Missouri,
in fact. Switches can be built TO con-
meet with the bridge terminal lines.
The latter makes connection with the
Frisco, the c. & E. l.. the Central,
/. NJ. and Cotton Belt System. The
Mississippi River is there also.

Cape Girardeau Soldier Says He
Goes Swimming In The

Dear Mother and all: We are not
yet in our camp. The regiment is
scattered around in different towns
here and we with regiment headquar-
ters are stationed in a very pretty
town. In fact all of France is pretty.
We have quarters in large two
story house which was the residence
of private family. the lady who
owns it runs cafe across the street.
1t certainly is pretty place. The
people here are sure glad to have US

few things now in Frenrf. Am pick
ing up new words daily. The people
are sure good to us-give us wine,
sure enough French wine, and they
cannot get tobacco. With the aid of
that we talk and pass the evenings
after the concerts.
We play quite good deal of con-
certs from 7 to s p. m. Rehearsal
from 10 m. to II a. m. Nothing to
do all afternoon.
We have a very pretty river here,
the Mayenne. | think is the name. We
go swimming most every day. The
country is sure beautiful all over an6
around France. The roads are well
kept with hedges all along on both
sides.
We play concerts at the batteries
about twice a week. We leave here
about 9 a. m. with our Instruments
and light packs and walk about six
miles to another town and play a
concert in the afternoon and then
walk back and get here about $3.50.
The roads are good and we don't mind
the walk. One batter, B. is about
two blocks. A and c. D. F. and T are
about miles distant so you see we
h.ave very good hike weekly. Don't
get so awful much to eat to what we
had at Fort Sill. May get better
though.
There was a bunch of mail came
here yesterday. I thought I would
have at least one letter, but nothing
doing. I guess mine will be in the
next batch. We, the orchestra, play

out. 1t was some classy home, be-
