A. Putierson, president of the U. A. Patterson Tobacco Company, stated to The Virginian reported Sat urday thut the company is going- to rr huild on a new arid more elaborate reale within the next few months. Mr. Patterson said that whllethe com pany had taken an option of'the thir ty acres of property on Spring Hill. South Richmond, it also had un eye on several othei» tracts and would probably decide definitely on the loca tion of the new plant next month. In speaking of the cost and magni tude of the proposed plant. Mr. Pat tern. n eald: “While we would rather not. enter into details about our plana, i can at least say that before we get through we expect to expend over a million dollars. The new plant Is to have a capacity of 30,000,004 pound* output yearly, ami will work a force of two or three thousand employes. More specific plans than these have not been determined upon, but we expect to have the new factory com pleted and In operation before the end of three years.'' The people of South Richmond are naturally vitally Interested In gettlna; this plant built on the south side ot the river, and considering all the at tractions that this section has to of fer to manufacturers. It seems more than probable that they will take up the opinions. The erection of such a plant in South Richmond would mean ulmost as much 00-annexation did In the way of iMiatness and population, and the tidal wave of tobacco Indus tries that seems to have turned to ward Washington Ward will be tlyit much farther augmented. 4 JACKIE CLUE'S CEUCJIBUCCLE, Gains Two Laps on Leading i Teams in Sensational Sprint> FOUR TEAMS YE i TIE FOR THE LEAD ' j Collins and Droback Drop1 Out, Latter Sustaining Broken Collar-Bone in a Spill XfcW YORK, l>i*eeinh»*r HI.— Tlif Non< at » o'clock I lilt morn ing nits: I mmu.

A statement was made at the hratl .(carters of the Anti-Saloon League lu Righth street, when It became ap parent that the "wets" had won. that there would certainly be a contest of , the result.
