The. mill is a 100000 one and a good
piece of property, and but for the
panic would perhaps have been run
ming successfully today. 1t was cut
ting at the time the panic struck it
from 10000 to $4,000 feet per day. If
the mill and belongings bring, when
the sale is made, anything like value,
no one will suffer as a result of the
banks trouble, and of course, all are
hoping for an early and satisfactory
sale of the property, which, if made,
the bank will Immediately call in all
of the outstanding certificates against
it, paying them off, and stopping the 6
per cent interest they are drawing. E.
F. Ballard, who is receiver for the mill
is also active vice president OF the
Bank of Waynesboro, and no one is
more anxious than he for an early sale
of the property and a settling up with
depositors.

sold out to the Pearl Land and Lum

plants will start up today, employing
about 500 men.

The Richardson plant is single

mill and dry kilns.
The owners are all Shreveport peo-
pie. but the general offices will be at
Picayune, also the sales department.
J. c. Morse, who has been manager
of the Picayune plant becomes mana
ger of both plants with headquarters
at Picayune.
Both plants have been closed down
for ten days pending the transfer and
it will be good news to the people Of
picayune and Richardson to see them
start up and under a new organization,
with regular pay day, which the old
company never had.

New Railroad Projected.

Collins, Miss, October 5.-The new
Lumber Company in this city that
recently purchased the timber and
store. and leased the mill of the Will
liamsburg Lumber Company, will be
incorporated, and the charter is out
for publication. 1t will be known as
the Okotoma Saw Mill Company, cap
italized at 100000, with A. K. Silver
thOrne. of Buffalo, N. Y; William E,
Lee. of Ellisville, Miss, and E. M.
Griffin. of North Tonawanda, N. Y. Its
domicile is Collins, and shares 500
each, with fifty-year existence clause.
It further provides that in addition to
it's usual saw mill clause, that it may
engage in a real estate business, lay
off lands into town lots and establish
town sites. The same company owns
and operates another mill at Ellisville
with a railroad running towards Col
Inns. and their mill here has railroad
line running towards Ellisville. The
two are only a short distance apart
and it is thought that the two lines
will connect, thereby giving Collins
another railroad.

Lumber Industry
Is Active.

Several days ago the News sent in
quiries to some two hundred lumber
mills in the Hattiesburg territory ask
ing for the actual facts relative to
each individual plant.
The response to these inquiries has
been most generous, and much of the
detailed information thus obtained is
presented to onr readers in another
part of today's paper
If there are those who doubted the
early and complete revival of business
in the Hattiesburg district that doubt
is now dispelled. Not only are the
mills resuming, but many of them are
starting up with increased capacity
and with brighter prospects than ever
before in their history.
In all of the replies thus far re-
ceived to the direct inquiries made by
this newspaper not one has evinced
the least tendency toward pessimism
but many of the best and most sue
cessful mill men of the belt declare
that they are more than pleased with
present prospects.

The concensus of opinion is that
lumber prices will continue to advance
and that within a short time yellow
pine products will bring more on the
markets of the world than ever before
in the history of the country.

sold to northern capitalists shortly,
together with it's large holdings OF
timber lands Six timber estimators,
sent by these northern capitalists, are
now on the grounds estimating the
timber supply, which work Will re-
ouire about thirty days, after which
their estimates will be submitted TO
those in interest for their action. The
mill is a gigantic piece of property and
would cost a young fortune to remove.
Therefore. those who would care to

of supply of timber before turning
loose their $4,000 or 100000 for it.
Rut until it is sold the entire capitaA
and surplus of the Bank of Waynes-
