 Az soon as the hearing was completed, the counsel for Sparks hurried in ssarct, of the Governor. At a late hour last night. MT.

 MT. Fuller transmitted this message to the Sheriff last night.

SOUTHERN PROGRESS
GREAT ACTIVITY IN LUMBER
 OPERATIONS.
Tn Spite of the Weather, Month of February Showed No Dfminu- ton in Work of This
 Character.

Baltimore, March a.-(Speciai.) )-In dif- farent parts of the South at present there Is a greater activity than ever be-
 fore in lumber operations and in the es- tablishment of industries dependent thereon.
 In spite of impediments due to stress of weather in some quarters, the month of February has shown no diminution in the developmental work of this chArae- ter, says The Manufacturers Record in this weeks issue. There has been, for
 instance, reported a number of important purchases of timbar tracts, especially in West Virginia. One of these is credited to Hon. Henry c. Davis and associates who have obtained control of what Is
 known as the Blaekwater Manor proper ty, of 36.O00 acres in pine. henalock and soft wood, stretching in Tucker, Fem
 dleton and Randolph counties in almost
 unbroken sweep from Thomas to Hens drlcle for eleven miles. Into this terri-
 tory a railroad has been partly built.
 but timber operations have not been
 begun.
 At Wtldell near Elltins plans are being
 made for the working of l2,oO0 more acres by other interests and the Curtin Lumber Company has purchased a timber rights on s0,000 acres of land in Webster county and will erect saw mills, while the coal deposits underlying the tract have be- come the property of MT. Elkins. In Al- abama Western capitalists have purchss- ed the Yellow Pine Lumber Company's properties, together with 5000 acres of timber land and will develop an exten- sive lumber manufacturing enterprise.
 Stockholders of the Fuller Lumber mills of Selma. and others, have pur- chased 10000 acres of timber land be- tween Selma and Blocton, and the Key stone Coal Company has been organ ized by Pennsylvanians for the develop ment of 1,200 acres of timber land near Birmingham.
 Several thousand acres of turpentine timber near Orange Springs have passed into the hands. 1t is said. of an interest which operates one of the largest tur- pentine farms and naval stores plants in Florida, controlling a territory about % miles long and twelve miles wide. The turpentine industry is also responsible for the purchase by a Minneapolis man of 700 acres of land near Hastings, and by B. W. Blount of ocala, of 56,S40 acres, near Pnuta Gorda.
 The Aycock Brothers of Moultrie, Ga, will cut and saw the timber on 25,0o0 acres bought by them near Chipley, Fla. Other purchases include 3.0O0 acres which will cut about 100000 feet of pine tim her in Izard county, Arkansas, by Ten nessee parties, 3.400 acres by a firm at
 TTnadilla. Ga, 15,O00 acres by an Iowa
 man in Pickens and Oconee counties. S. C 1.2OO acres near Summit Tenn, by Meridian. Miss. Lumber Company, sO0 acres in spotsylvania county, Va, by l Tohn Henderson of OsweRo.
