Capt Stephen W. Anderson.

The history Of North Bay for the
past 40 years would be incomplete
without very much fuller reference
to Capt Anderson than the data at
hand, or our space will permit of.
Like very few other men who have
left their impress upon the evolution
Of the Bay country, his name is in
dissOlubly connected Herewith, and
the historian will assign to him and
his devoted helpmate no mean posi-
ton in the early history of St An
drews Bay.
His father who was a resident Of
North Carolina, moved to Alabama,
where be remained a year in the
naval stores business, and then re-
moved TO South Florida whera he re-
manned year. Being driven out by
the Indians he came to North Bay in
1855. He settled just west Of Mrs
Booths residence taking up the occu-
patton OF fisherman. This was the
beginning of the fishing business
which has been followed so success
fully by there generations of Ander-
sons. During the war this first of
the Anderson fishermen was catching
fish for Capt Eob;nsoH's and another
company OF COnfedcratcs located in
this section Of the country.
When Capt S. W. Anderson first
clmc here there were but very few
settlers or North Bay, or on other
portions Of St Andrews Bay. Where
he now resides near his son in law,
L. c. Gay, live widower, DR. Viii
liam Pierce, a man of ability and
standing, who DESTROYS of a rest from
the cares of business and society,
moved to that point from Georgia at
an early day, bringing with him some
6 or s slaves. At that time they were
the only slaves on the bay. 1t was

ton expressed to Capt AndersOn's
father upon visit to the doctor that

bayou. Irregular shore lines make
choice building spots available to a
large number, and there can be no
doubt but with railway connec-
ton, and transportation by water
made easier, this locality will receive
large accession to its population.
1t is backed by country that is we'll
fitted for agricultural purposes, and
when the tide of emigration sets this
way, will be settled by numerous
prosperous small farmers. We pre-
dict that some day Southport will be
an important and prosperous little
city, and the shores of this pretty
bayou be lined with beautiful resi-
dences.

w. Ii. Davis, of Dawson, Ga, one Of
the most successful merchants IN the
whole South, and a member of the
firm, will remove to Southport, and
take charge of this part of the bust
ness. With the a~Vent Of Mr. Davis d
great increase in that portion of the
companys trade may be expected.
He is a man who knows the mercan-
tile business rom bottom to top, and
has always been very successful in
extending his trade. He will also be

men of the Bay country in advancing
its interests in every way.

The Mill.

The mill of this company embodies
the latest improvements in machinery
to enable lumber to be cut eXpedit-
ously and economically. twas plan
ned by men who knew what was re-
quired to accomplish those ends, and
erected in a manner that promises
stability and successful working of
the machinery.
1t is a double mill, two sides. AS
yet but one side has been completed.
That is equipped with an Sfoot band
saw, lath, shingle, and Stave mill. In
these shortest days of the year they
are cutting 10000 feet during day
light. The normal capacity for a full
day. would be about 100000 feet and
double that if ran night and day. The
company are prepared to put the other
side of the mill in operation when
ever the trade demands it.
The engine and machinery are from
the world noted saw mill manu-
facturers, the Allis-Chalmers Co., of
Milwaukee and Chicago. The power
is furnished by one of this companys
engines, and a battery of boilers
capable of furnishing 1920 horse
power. The boiler house is well
separated from the mill building.
The furnaces are of the Dutch oven
type. The engine is set on ii bed
constructed by driving one thousand
piles, on top of which is placed ar
tifcal stone in which 400 barrels OF
cement were used. Thousands OF
piles were used in the substructure OF
the mill, and nothing spared to make

Other Industries.

Another firm at Southport is the
Gamer Mercantile Company, under
the personal management of 7. Is. d.
G1iner This firm carry such a
stock of goods as is required by the
farmers and others residing in that
section, and have a very good trade.
The place still retains its popularity
as fish market. and its fishermen
have the credit of being more sue
cessful in catching the denzierc Of
the deep than are others in this Sec
ton. Captain S. W. Anderson was
one of the most fortunate fishermen
in the pest hereabouts. His operations
extended to South Florida, in which
locality he once took at one haul of
the nets 1875 barrels of fish. This is
probably the largest catch on record
on these shores.

Closely connected with the interests
of Sale-DaviS Co., is the above named
company of which T. d. Sale is Presi-

ID. NJ. Dismuke, Secretary and Treas
urcr. This company are at present
operating two stills, one at NicEs-
burg, and the other one at burnt
mill bayou, West Bay. Mr. Dismuke
is i'll charge of this cOmpanys naval
stores business, residing at Nicks-
burg, where they have an office and
cOmmissary. They are extensive
manufacturers of naval stores, and
can increase the output materially
when conditions warrant. Dir Dis
nuke is very popular and energetic
naval stores man, and has made
many friends since he took up the
management of the COmpanyS bust
ness in that section. In connection
with this place, for the benefit of
history, we would state that it was
the intention Of Mr. Sale to name it
in honor of Mr. Vickers, Of the firm
of Vickers & Mckenzie, but the peo-
pie soon began to drop the middle
syllable and instead of Vickersburg
it became Nicksburg.

Railway &c.

The Sale-Davis Company do the
bulk of their logging by rail. They
have now miles of road built, and
are laying track daily. They have a
mile of new rail now in Pensacola,
which with that they have on hard
will permit of their extending their
line some two miles. This road runs
very near the surveyed line of the B.
G.. & st a B. r. R., and when that
company builds few miles more of
track, this cOmpanys road will be in
contact with it, and thus a through
line formed from Chipley to South
port. Three miles out on this line is
the still location of the Southern
Timber Co., the supplies for which,
and shipments from the same, are
handled by this road to and from
Southport. The company also own
the schooner Lucy H., which runs
solely between Southport and Pens&-
cola, making weekly trips, handling
naval stores west bound, and supplies
of all kinds east bound. Ample ware
house room with convenient tracks,
furnish all necessary cOnvcnienceS
for the handling of this business at
Southport.

official duties performed, and details

SALE.DAVIS LOCATION.
North Bays Metropolis.
History, &c.

Tanning bayou is very picturesque
body of water on the north west side
of North Bay. For many years it has
been trading point where the people
of lower Alabama, Georgia and West
Florida, either on trade or pleasure
bent, have met the inhabitants of the
Bay country.
A long time ago, many years before
the war, party named Colvin is re-
ported to have had a steam saw mill
on this bayou, being located where
Charles Anderson now lives. When
this mill was built or when destroyed
we have not been able to learn.
Ever since Captain Stephen w.
Anderson located here in 1865 and
entered into the fish business Ander-
son has been known as an important
fish market, often as many as 80 or
40 teIms being there at a time after
fish and oysters. The Captains chill
dren grew up and settled about him;
other families moved in, until the
trading post grew into a little com
munity and was properly named An
derson.
Thus it continued until the pur-
chase few years since of large
tract of timber by the Sale-Davis
Company in that vicinity from the
Williams Co., and the selection by
L. ID. Sale, President of the former
company, of the head of this bayou as
the site of a mill of such capacity
as would within 20 years cut the mag
nificent body of timber that would be
contiguous to it.. In 1905 he bought
out Capt Andersons home place and
began the erection of the mill, and the
building of the necessary houses,
store building, and office buildings to
carry on the business. The construc-
ton of a railroad was also began, and
of a large wharf to receive, store, and
forward the supplies and cut of the
mill.
OWlnS 10 CONFUSION arising III
business way through there being a
railway station in this state named
Anderson, last month the name of
the place and post office was changed
to Southport. Besides the settlement
that had grown up Whereabouts before
the advent Of SaleDavis Co. the latter
have added some rs houses, the large
mill, docks, warehouses &c, with 5
miles of railway and there are now
probably $50 or more people in it's vi
cinage. ...

Timber Supply.

The timber owned and being cut by
this company comprises some of the
best heart timber in this state, CT
lower Alabama. The company own
about $1,000, 900 acres, and there is
more than that amount adjoining
their tracts that is properly tributary
to this mill, 1t is stated that this
company now have over 225, 600, 900
feet Of choice timber, which promises
many years work for a very large
mill.
