STOCKOLDERS MEETING.
The Concord Cotton Seen Oil Company to
Be the Name The Machinery Already
Ordered Directors Elected.
Some time ago the naoYement
-was started and the names of
persons of our town and connty
were secured which means that
tW enterprise is going to mat
erialize, and that next year the!
carloads of cotton seed which
have heretofore been shipped
&wav will be taken to the new mill
and the farmers of our county will
bring their cotton-to the ginnery
to have their work finished in less;
than half an hour.
The stockholders met last
Saturday afternoon in the office
of the Odell Manufacturing Co.!
viih Mr. Chas. McDonald as
chairman and Mr. M L Buchanan
as secretary.
This stock, ito the amount o
$30,000, of one hundred dollar
shares, is subscribed by the men
cf our town and county, quite a
good amount of it being taken by
farmers of different parts of our
county, which means their pat
ronage too, in the perfecting-of
this enterprise, V :
Incorporation papers will be
obtained at once and the name
will be The Concord Cotton Seed
Oil Co. A committee consisting
of Morrison 'H Caldwell, Jno. A
Sims aDd "W R Odell, was ap
pointed to form the by-laws for
the organization and to , report at
the next meeting. f f
The following gentlemen were
chosen as the directors : J M
Odell, J S Harris, Martin Boger
W JR Odell and D B Coltrane,
and were given authority to make
all purchases and deals deemed
advisable by them.
The purpose of this enterprise,
as taken from the charter which
will be obtained, will be to buy
and sell cotton seed, and other
produce, to gin cotton, manufac
ture cotton goods, chemicals, oils
foods, fertilizer, and other mer
chandise, and selling same. Tb,
company shall also have power to
buy and sell real estate, to culti
vate and improve same, to buy
and sell cattle and other stock.
The machinery for the new mill
was also purchased that afternoon,
consistingof the oil mill machinery,
one 150-horse power engine, two
80-horse power boilers, one im
proved Winship plant, consisting
of four 70-saw gins, together with;
the other necessary machinery,!
such as pulleys, shafting, etc. j
This machinery is claimed to be
of the very latest models and it is
the intention of the company to
meet every want in this line of
work. The capacity of the ma-j
chinery is such-that from the time
the cotton is taken by suction
from the conveyance the bale will
be back on the wagon, twenty
minutes having expired.
The business will necessarily
have to be pushed but they will
be ready for the first bale of cotton
this year. Let's see nov' who
