BIG ENTERPRISE FOR GEORGETOWN.
Wlnyab City to Have Wood Alcobol Plant
Costing $150,000.
Georgetown, September 27:?The
plant mentioned as likely to be established
here by the DuPont, E I
de Nemours Powder company for the!
production of wood alcohol and by
products from the refuse lumber of
the Atlantic Coast Lumber corpora- j
tion mills, is now an assured fact. A I
plant costing in th? neighborhood of
one hundred aud fifty thousand doll""5
will crvnn hp profited. Hfld ODera
la.o " ww~ , i
tions will begin as soon as same is
completed. Mr Raymond S Farr,
general manager of the Atlantic
Coast Lumber corporation ,is now negotiating
with the DuPont-de Nemoura
people for the location of the
plant in close proximity to the mill?,
and will be iu position to give further
details regarding the new industry
to be started here, within a short
time.
It is a matter of congratulation to
the people of Georgetown to have
this plant locate here, as it means
much to the commercial and industrial
life of the city. The making of
wood alcohol by the big DnPont
Powder company is no experiment
with them, since other plants are
being operated by ihetn over the
country, the alcohol produced being
a necessary ingredient in the powder
manufactuiing business.

MAKES RESTITUTION
Liquor Firm Volastarily Offers ts Return
tn Statu (30 nfift ftvomtiQMioc
IUIU IV VIUIU f UVtUUU u J bl l/IIUI uuu*
Columbia, September 27:?Following
a conference last week between ? ^
the winding-up commission of the
old State dispensary and the representatives
of the Bernheim Distilling
Co., of Louisville, Kv, the
company today announced tout it wiW
refund to the '"ftate over-charges on :
liquor amounting to $30,00(1. The
company, which was represented before
the old State board of control
by James S Farnum, acquitted
Saturday of bribing Jos B Wylie,
then a member of tb? purchasing
board, to give the concerns represented
by Far mini 'he preference
in purchasing liquors, admits the
cverchrages and says it ;s willing to
make good this much of the State's
loss.
The refund is voluntary on'the
part of the company, as the old
State dispensary board of control
had effected a complete settlement
with the concern before the winding-up
commission took charge of
tiie affairs of the dispensary when
the institution was legislated out of
existence, and tti? company never
has put iu a claim lor money due it
for the liquors sold to the dispensary,
as has been done by many of
the other houses, which had h~m
awarded contracts for liquors.
