At least the supply will be suffi.

The ice plant will be erected on
the site now used by Payne in his
coal business, about a mile out of
, Clarendon and practically in the
center of the county. One Of the
foremost artificial ice plant en-
gineers in the country has talked
over plans with Payne, with the re-
suit that the former has become
financially interested in the project.
Stock is now being sold In the
ice corporation which has obtained
a charter and 1t Is expected that

chinery will be started within the
next two weeks.
