NEW cocA-coLA PLANT OPENED
One of the Most Soft Drink Establish
ments In The South

The Carolina Coca Cola Bottling
Company has put into operation its
new and up-to-date plant, situated at
the corner of Council and Liberty
streets. This new plant, just COM
'pleted, the building costing over S30.--
600, and the new machinery being Of
the most modern type. The location
is an excellent one for the purpose
and the new building, with its attrac-
tive appearance, adding much to- .he
looks Of this new business section.
This plant has the largest capacity
Of any bottling company in the State
and tour through the building is
well worth the time spent for the in
formation that can be gained. It is
interesting to go through the plant
and follow the course of a bottle.
First the dirty bottles are brought in
by trucks and unloaded in the back
part os the plant where they are
placed on q sterilizing machine, which
is known as Miller-Hydro. This
machine contains q per cent solution
of caustic soda in water. This Solt-.
ton is heated in the machine to a
temperature of 135 degrees. Each
bottle passes through this machine on,
an endless chain and receives 20-gal-
Ions of the liquid at a pressure Of 30
pounds, the solution being pumped in
ito the bottles by centrifugal pumps.
The bottle comes out Of this into cold
kwaters to reduce the temperature OF
the bottle. Next the bottle is con-
veyed on an endless chain, to the syr-
uping machine. Each bottle receives
Uniform amount Of coca-cola syrup.
From this point it goes to a filing
head and each bottle is filed with a
uniform amount of carbonic acid gas
and water. This machine fills los
bottles per minute. The next step is
/ the crowning machine which crowns
los bottles per minute.
!; The full bottles are then conveyed
/! to. the rear OF the bottling room. where
each bottle is inspected over electric
! lights. From here they go to the
/ stock room on roller conveyors and
are then ready for loading on the
i trucks for delivery. The company op-
crates its; own ice plant to reduce the
! temparture of the water in order to
/ get uniform carbonation. All OF
the coea-cola syrup is handled IN
glass-iren jars and is conveyed to
| the, machines through block tin pipe
This assures sanitary condition
The company uses five 27s s-ton Mack
! trucks and one REQ truck for the de-
livery Of their products in Sumter and

With the Tempe and Central avenue bridges closed to all traffic and the river rising. indications at midnight last night were that the peak of the latest flood that has threatened Phoe- nix would be reached sometime this morning. At that hour the water at the Central avenue bridge registered a little more than II feet, little less than two feet less than in the Thanks giving Day flood. At the sheriff s office. it was reported that 14 feet was expected by morning. while other esti- mates placed it at 13 feet.
 At II o'clock last night there was twelve and a half feet of water at Joint Head q rise of six inches since o'clock. Latest reports from Granite Reef. at g.: 80. gave the height of water there as feet, the same as at $40. At 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon the water at Granite Reef registered a little more than seven feet. At a late hour a rise to 10 feet was thought possible.
 A long distance telephone report from Roosevelt dam at 10:45 last night said seven feet six and a half inches of water was going over the spillways at the dam a. rise of IF feet over 6 o'clock. At that time the water over the spillways was expected to rise still higher, as water was reported still flowing into the reservoir, with no abatement near.
 Verde River Subsidng Slightly
 Latest reports from the Verde river however. were encouragin ing, as at 10:1a the Verde guaged 23.6 feet, drop of fl feet since o'clock Yesterday aft ernoon the guage at Fossil creek read 31 feet, two feet more than Thanks giving Day.
 Though the river was still rising last night, the flood had done mucn iess damage than might have been ex pected. and no danger to the city itself was expected. even though the waters pass the Thanksgiving Day mark
 The Tempe bridge at midnight was still standing against the flow of water, which was then coming down stream aI about eight miles an hour. Dyna- mite, however. was still kept in readi- ness in case the bridge, already sag ging, gave way.
 Center Street Bridge Safe
 The Central avenue bridge here was unharmed by the rush of the river and the structure itself was safe. A further rise in the river, it was said. would tnage or destroy the south approach. All traffic. both foot and vehicle, had been barred from the bridge at 9:3o. The fact of the bridges safety was brought about partly because of the board of supervisors recent action in

CLAIMS SOVIET PEACE OVERTURE ONLY TR|CKERY
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

CHICAGO, Feb. PA mass meeting arranged by the Polish national com mittee as the first of a series to be held throughout the country to combat radicalism was one of the events of the Washington day program here today.
 State, county and city officials oc- cupied the stage. Harry Pratt Judson. president of the University of Chicago. presided and the principal address was made by Frank Comerford. Chica go lawyer, who spent six months in Russia and the Balkans recently studying so- cial and political problems.
 The news this morning of fresh battle between Russian soviet troops and those of the republic of Poland did not come as surprise to . few of us in the United States familiar with a bit of important information now locked in the archives of the state de- pertinent, but destined to see the light soon before the foreign relations com- mittee of the senate.' said MT. Comer- ford.
 Last December confidential .infor- nation was disseminated in Russia by Lenine and TrotzlSy that they were not to be shaken if an offer of peace was made by Russia, to the rest of Europe It was not bonafide proposal but one designed to obtain a respite so that red Russia might gather strength for a greater effort to establish communism
 
 of this confidential publication reached the state department and I believe this to be the first public statement of it's existence.
 True enough, the so-called peace offer made it's appearance the follow ing month. Russian leaders were not deceived. for they had been warned. but the general public of the rest of the world was. Probably those in author ity were not, for I have observed a. slight apparent awakening to the knowledge that the republic of Poland must be streng thened in her resistance to the advance of the soviet menace Poland. devastated and starving is a desperate stand not only for herself but for the rest of the world"
 According to N. l.. Piotrowski, vice president of the Polish national com mittee, subsequent mass meetings de- signed to interest the public in Polish affairs will be held in New York. San Francisco, omaha and other cities.
