the first in the state to comply with
the new law requiring sheriffs to pro-

their respective counties who have pur-

stated that over 100000 acres OF the

The prospects for magnificent pa
per mill, to manufacture paper from
pine timber, mention of which has al
ready been made, appear to be decided
ly bright.
The gentleman who has been here
looking after this matter expected to
get car load of timber and have it
shipped the first of the week to some
point in the east where it would be
tested, but the car was delayed~and
probably got off today. The timber
was secured at Arnold, out on the Mis-
sissippi Central and the car loaded
yesterday preparatory to shipment.
The timber was made up of medium
sized saplings, from which the bark
had been taken.
The success of the experiment is not
doubted at all as pine timber has been
used before for this purpose and found
altogether suitable. The only thing
that is feared by the people who pro-
pose to locate here is that the timber
of this section may have little too
much resin in it, but they do not doubt
that it can be overcome, as has pine
timber in other cases where there was
slightly less resin. ~
The location of the proposed paper
mill in Hattiesburg, which is almost
a certainty, means an investment of
half million dollars and the employ
ment of large amount of both skilled
and unskilled labor.
