Shute Plans Franklin Street Gin Plant Amid Opposition
J T Shute announced plans to erect a gin on the old Whitfield lot on Franklin Street to start by cotton movement. Past legal actions over a nearby gin near the railroad faded after injunctions and settlements, as Crow leases on Main Street bring renewed contention. Red Cross outlines Christmas Cheer plans for soldiers, with packages including paper, pipes, tobacco, and games, and emphasizes home-front support.
