Applies for i
and
Charter.
NASHVILLE, Ter.n., Sept. 115.
Articles of incorporation of the Spring
City, Athens and Pikeville railroad
were filed with the secretary of state
on Saturday. The road has an author
ized capital of $100,0(10, and proposes
to construct and operate a line of rail
orad from Pikeville via.Hpring City, in
Rhea county, to Athens, McMinn
county, by the "most desirable or
practicable route. . " The company is
authorized to operate either a narrow
gauge or standard road, with either
steam or electric power.
From Pikeville on the Nashville,
Chattanooga and St. Louis railway to
the Queen and Crescent route, across
the mountains, it is only about sixteen
miles, but by way of Chattanooga over
rail it is about 100 miles. The county
through which the road will run is
rich in natural resources.

"He hain't got enny more backbone

"He will talk today like a wize man
and tomorrow like a phool, on the
same subject.
"He sez 'yes'when he should say, 'no,'
and staggers thru life like a drunken

"Heaven' save us from the weak man

them, and whoze friendships are the

DeLoach Mill Manufacturing
Company Will Leave Atlan-.
ta for Alabama Town.
ATLANTA, Oa., Sept. 17. Exorbi
tant freight rates will in the near fu
ture cause Atlanta to lose one of her
largest manufacturing concerns.
In order to derive the benefits of
duced rates as fixed in Alabama,
re
the DeLoach Mill Manufacturing company
announced Saturday afternoon that at
the close of the present year they would
move their plant on Highland avenue
to Bridgeport, Ala.
By merely transporting their "basis
of operations beyond the borders of
Georgia, it is conservatively estimated
by officials of the company that the
savings in freight rates will amount to
fully one-half of the dividends of the
concern as declared in Atlanta.
In speaking of the change decided
uion one of the officials said :
"Pig iron is the principle commodi
ty used in our plant. The capacity of
the new plant will be about twenty
tons. By comparing the freight rates
I in Atlanta and Bridgeport we have fig
I ured that we will save :S90 per month
! on this item alone. We will also save
ft. 50 per ton upon shipments of coal,
i "Though removed farther away
! from the pine belt we find that at
i Bridgeport we will be able to obtain
lumber 25 per cent, cheaper than In
Atlanta.
"As regards outgoing shipments, a
comparison of the rates shows that it
will cost ns f0. 40 less to ship a carload
of machinery from Bridgeport to St
Louis than it would cost to ship
same from Atlanta to St. Louis
corresponding reduction exists in
the
A
the
rates to St. Paul."
The DeLoach Manufacturing com
pany has acquired a site of forty acres
in BridureDort. which is located in the
extreme northeast corner of Alabama,
twenty-eight miles from Chattanooga,
on the Nashville, Chattanooga and St.
Louis railroad. Actual building
operations will begin on the first of
next month and it is expected that the
new plant will 1 completed by Janu
ary 1st. It will be erected at a total
cost of $1200,00. In addition to
building attd equipping the main
structures, it will be necessary to erect
homes for 1,000 employes. The work
of moving will not begin nntil Christ
mas week: and will be finished within
fifteen days, according to officials.
The present plant on Highland avenue
will be operated in the meantime.

UNCLE GID'S LETTER.
About "i .year ago I lived by a fam
ily that owned an elegant home.
Everything was neat and nice, but it
was an unhappy home. The father
and mother were of deceptive, hypo
critical dispositions; their th.ree little
children, ;the oldest of which was
twelve years, were beautiful children
there was no mistake, but, alas ! for
them they were being raised by a fath
er and mother that quarreled and
sometime! fought. The mother was
a member of the church, but I fear
she did not value her religion very
much. I,think if she had done so pro
bably shejcould have won her husband
over on the Lord's side.
Many, many times have I played
cards with them until midnight, and
just here let me say that in doing so I
-neglected my own wife, leaving her
with two small children to care for
while I was having my pleasure. It
was low down and mean of me and I
know now that I did not treat her
right and if she had not been a good
woman she certainly would have given
me a piece of her mind. Women can
be provoked to , resent the rascally
treatment they get from their brutes
of husbands. But in the case of the
family above I have never been able
to solve why they lived so unhappily
together, . unless it was because of a
streak of jealousy that had found
lodgement in the wife's heart. Here
I would like to say some women and
men conjure up jealousy without cause.
This woman's husband was true to
her I well know, but like a great
many other men, was social and live
ly, and very fond of dancing.
I suppose a jealous wife or husband
is about as miserable a creature as
lives, but these two people, as I said,
were deceptive and hypocritical and
wanted their neighbors to believe their
home was a happy home. It was
"darling, sugar and flower" when
company was about and a hell when
no one was around. In this case I be
lieve the wife was more at fault than
the husband for the reason she didn't
live a christian life and would play
cards and was one of the best euchre
players 1 1 ever saw, consequently her
love of cards killed her christian in
fluence, like another lady who kept a
card table in her home. She gave a
card party and among' the party was a
brilliant wid ' gifted young - man. . In
her home fie learned to play cards and
took his first drink of wine. , He learn
ed to love both and became a drunkard
and a gambler and today fills a drunk
ard's grave and she is responsible for
this young man's downfall and ruin.
I've lived long enough to learn that as
we sow so shall we reap. The seed we
it 'in i id! y uanu.

sow in the home will produce its'.fruits
in this life. How many lives have
been ruined and wrecked by the bad
seed sown in the home. A christian
mother never sows cards and wine in
her home. Her girls are not allowed
to attend card parties or mix or min
gle the wine for guests. No. I am con
fident that cards is an agent, though
seemingly innocent, that will bring
evil sooner or later. Here is a home
and a young man ruined because of
cards.' It is not safe to allow the play
ing of cards in any home. I hope none
of the News readers allow it in their
homes. UNCLE GID.
Attack of Diarrhoea Cured by One Oosa of

I was so weak from an attack of di

AGED MAN INJURED.
BRIDGEORT, Ala., Sept. 14. -Mr.
A. Slover, a well-known old gentleman,
who lives with his daughter, Mrs.
Williams, had a bad fall which injur
ed him internally, and little hope is
entertained for his recovery.
He has always been very active and
although he is eighty-four years old, is
as sprightly as a much younger man?
He has been -unconscious most of the
time since the injury, but says he re
members sittjng on the porch and sud
denly turning blind, got up and start
ed into the house, but it is supposed,
fell backward down the steps, cutting
his head and eye very badly. The
right side is terribly bruised and swol

No Turning Out.
It was a meetyig in a pioneer town -to
discuss the bringing iu of a railroad
and after the Colonel had spoken for
an hour on the benefits to be derived
he asked for others to get up and state
their opinions.
In answer, Joe Tompkins arose and
wanted to know how it would be if he
was walking along the track some day
and met a train would he have to get
off the track or would the train back
up
The Colonel replied that railroad
trains always had the right of way and
Joe continued :
"Then I'm agin yer railroads, and
we've had 'nuff gab. The only durned
thing I ever turned out fur was an av
elanche that slid a hull mountain sev
en miles down into the valley, and I' ye
alius , been ,dawg-gone sorry I did .
that'' ' " -
The Colonel tried to dodge the issue,
but the meeting broke up in disorder
and the railroaii was never built.
