hustler. When all of the mills
are in operation the pay rol
amounts to about $4,000 pei

Love. w. Bradford, CIV. An.
derson and j. Nj. Leeper, and w,

Sulphur I. and l. Company.
We next visited the saw mill
plant of the Sulphur Timber and
Lumber Co., and watched the
operations for some time. The
economi cal handling of the logs.
which remain on the cars after
being placed there in the woods
until they are put off on the log
deck at the mill.
The work done BY the sawyer
in handling the carriage with shot
gun feed, the kicker and the mg-
ger is worth a visit of any one to
see. His work is certainly up
with the most expert. The filing
room is another place worthy of
a visit. The filer. MIR. Sam Tay-
Tor, is a past master with saw.
The edgerman deserves special
mention IN all reports Of saw
mills. The one at this mill must
be an exception, when one comes
to think that every board that
falls from the saw has to be hand
led by him. Mr.. ]. I. Bowman.
who holds this position with the
Sulphur Timber and Lumber
Company, deserves that special
mention. Mr.. j.. B. Boss, the
chief engineer aud superintendent
of the saw mill, Is truly an expert
and the fact that he has held this
position ever since the mill started
here two years ago, and superin-
tended its construction, is evid-
ence enough that he is the right
man in the right place. The
yard and shipping department Is
under the superintendancy of Mr..
Frank Stewart, . young man who
has By attention to his work won
his advancement. Mr.. ]. B..
Dickerson. foreman Of the planer.
has won his position BY close ap-
plicatlon to bis work and be
merits the promotion. Mr.. j. S.
Hunt, the general manager, Mr..
o. e. Hodge, the president, are
at the top Of the ladder as saw
mill and business men. Prof. w.
c. Robinson, who Is the cashier
and has charge of local sales. is =
man without peer, but we would
rather see him State Superintend-
ent OF Public Education, ! posi-
ton which he is eminently quali-
he'd to fill. Miss Ida Barrow, the
genial young lady who presidea
with SO much grace at the book
keepers desk. completes the Of
ficers and managers Of this plant.
Professor Robinson informed
us that the company employs
about IS men and the monthly
pay roll amounts to about $4,000.
In addition to the local trade,
which amounted to 1853, 900 feet
of lumber or about "a cars, the
company ships thirty cars Of
lumber per month. notwithstsnd-l
ing the car shortage which has
been sorely felt By the saw mills
during the past several months.
