/ DEAL OF MILLIONS.
4 New Railroad North From SlideII,
La. Via Monticello.
jackson Evening News, April Ath.l

jackson Evening News April Ati.
From reliable authority Il is
learned today that the Goodyear
| Timber syndicate has secured OPP
ltions % al the pine lands, saw
| mill plants and logging railroads
belonging to the Banner Lumber
/ Company, Pearl River Lnbmer
Company and the Enoch interests
near Fernwood, Miss.
| These three companies are
among the largest lumber manu-
featuring plants ii the South, and
1.-THE fact that they have been COB
| lbled up by the Goodyear syndi-
lcate IS an absolute verification Of
1.-The reports hitherto published
| THAT the syndicate is endeayoring
Ito secure possession Of all the
large lumber plants in the south
fern part of the State tributary to
1.-THE lines of the Illinois Central
land Gulf and Ship Island road.
The newly acquired interests
give the Goodyear syndicate near
lly one million acres Of the finest
| yellow pine lands in the South.
Prior to obtaining the options
laboee named they held over 600,-
900 acres Of pine lands.
The very interesting report is
Inow current ii railroad and lum-
Der manufacturing circles, and is
lbeing given general credence, that
there Is q federation of interests
between the Goodyear syndicate
land the Pennsylvania capitalists
who have been acquiring options
ion The hardwood lands of the
Peatl River Valley for the past
Ithree months with The intention
lof building railroad into Jack
ls0n In fact, it is the same OBJ
liects in view, and the magnitude
lof their enterprise as it becomes
more plainly revealed is almost
appalling in its proportions.
The Goodyear syndicate has
lactually awarded d contract for
1.-THE construction Of sixty miles Of
lnew railroad from SIidelI, La, to
China Grove, small station
about eighteen miles east of Fern
wood. lit Is this section Of Pike
lc0unty where the best holdings of
Ithe Enochs Lumber & Manufac
turing Company are located.
The chief contractor Of this six
bile road IS Mi. Oliver Dunn,
d son Df Supt. g. M. Dunn, of the
Illinois Central road, who is now
making active arrangements for
1.-THE commencement Of work. AL
| though the. line is intended pri-
lmariIy as 4 logging road, it will
lbe constructed of standard -guage,
with heavy rails and thoroughly
graded. This Id itself is Of es-
pecial significance.
But i very much deeper signifi-
cance is attached. The plans Of
| the Goodyear syndicate are far
more extensive than the c0nstrnc
Ition of a mere lumber railroad.
According to one Of the best
posted railroad officials ID the
lSouth, who is ID a position to be-
Intimately acquainted with the
Iplans Of the corporation, the
| Goodyear syndicate intends to
lbuiId the line northward from
China Grove, which is on the
Ieastern border Of Pike county, d.
IrectIy northward through Pike
] and Lawrence counties until the
VALLEY Of Pearl river is reached,
land The line will then follow the
VALLEY directly up to jackson,
passing for the entire distance
Through virgin forests of yellow
pine and hardwood lands that have
lbeen scarcely touched by the
lWoodman's axe.

wATERwoRKs MATTERS.

A PROPOSITION to lease the waterworks is before
the council. Hisa matter in which the people are
deeply concerned ard it has been suggested that the
question be submitted to the voters The suggestion
seems to be good one Inasmuch as the people
voted bonds to build the vaterworks system with the
intention that they should be operated as municipal
enterprise it would seem that the voters should be
consulted before the system is turned over pri-
vate company.
The ordinance making the lease is still in the
hands Of the committee and it is not necessary now
70 enter into detailed discussion of its provisions
However there are some general phases Of the prop

the sewer district to secure connections, with the
