A MAMMOTH ELEVATOR
At New Market—What a Jonrnal Mail Ss* a
A JOURNAL representative rode to New Market yesterday to look through the new elevator of Darter, Ashby & Hulett, and was surprised at the immensity of the new institution. There was but one member of the firm present when THE JOURNAL man arrived and that member was Mr. Hulett, who was so busily engaged in looking after the numerous wagonssladen with corn that he waB not interrupted. Mr. Darter arrived later from a car he had been loading and he led the way for an inspection tour through the large elevator. The new elevator is a complete remodel of the former Julia Fletcher elevator, and is three stories high with a 10,000 bushels capacity. Our attention was first called to the large brick power room where a 20 horse power Atlas engine is kept running by engineer Emmons Douglass,of this city. Two perfect dumps were next passed as were the corn, wheat and feed elevators and as fine a cleaner for corn and wheat as the county affords anywhere. Every nook and corner of the mammoth building was already filled with grain and the elevator was not running on account of it. There were no less than four wagon loads of corn awaiting thfeir unloading and Mr. Darter was unable to say just when they could make the room required to resume work. Said Mr. Darter: "We began remodeling the old elevator about six weeks ago and have fitted it up with entire new machinery. In the two weeks we have been actually running we have handled more than 10,000 bushels of grain and expect to yet handle before the season closes 25,000 bushels of wheat, 50,000 bushels of corn, 20 cars of clover seed and oats and rye in proportion. We also run a regular exchange and sell 'Golden Link' ilour, America's best, below all competition. We are in the market for all kinds of grain and will make a heavy run on clover seed this season." The new elevator firm is composed of Messrs. W. M. Darter and Henry B. Hulett, of this city, and R. L. Ashby, of Ladoga. Mr. Hulett is bookkeeper, Mr. Darter, general manager, and Mr. Ashby is kept busy looking after his Ladoga elevator. Mr. Darter also retains his Ladoga elevator, which is under the efficient management of Mr. Charles E. Gardner. We were greatly repaid by our visit to the elevator and are
..
convinced that it is'[the best built elevator in Montgomery county and located in as good a market locality as could possibly be. We learnedithat it not only is second to none in construction, but that it is secondj to none in the matter of prices paid for grain. The three proprietors certainly have some..flattering prospects before them.
Meeting of the National Clal.
The St. John National Club will hold its regular meeting at the rooms of the Business Collage in the Thomas Block, on next Tuesday, August 4th, at 7:30 p. m. The programme is as follows:
Rev. J. F. McDaniel, on first plank of the platform which is as follows: The suppression of the manufacture and sale, importation, exportation and transportation of intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes. We utterly reject all plans for regulating or compromising with this traffic, whether such plans be called local option, taxation, license or public control. The 6ale of liquors for medicinal and other legitimate uses should be conducted bv the State, without profit, and with such regulations as will prevent fraud or evasion.
Dr. Etter on the second plank: No citizen should bo denied the right to vote on account of sex.
Mr. J. J. Darter, the third plank: All money should be issued by the general government only, and without the intervention of any private citizen, corporation or banking institution. It should be based upon the wealth, stability and integrity of the Nation. It should be a full legal tender for all debts, public and private, and should be of sufficient volume to meet the demands of the legitimate business interests of the country.. For the purpose of honestly liquidating our outstanding coin obligations, we favor the free and unlimited coinage of both silver and gold, at the ratio of 10 to 1, without consulting any other nation. .' -.
All ladies and gentlemen are cordially invited.
