PREPARING FOR WORK
ON HUGUENIN FARM
Claims Great Wealth is
Being Missed.

The James Co. of Triton that re.
Gently bought the privilege of CUTTING
timber on the Huguenin place for five
years for, it is reported, SIS, 1000, is
now pushing the work of erecting its
plant, right alongside of the track of
the Seaboard, and getting things in
readiness for saw milling this fine
tract of timber. Within thirty days.
in all likelihood, the trees will begin
to fall and the lumber to roll Sayan-
nahward to the markets of the world.
Much surprise is expressed that the
timber tract in question is not to be
turpentined. Experienced turpentine
men figure out that there would be
| more money in turpentining it than in
| numbering it alone.
Twenty crops of boxes could be
put in on this tract" said a naval
stores operator yesterday, "and it
could be worked to the very best ad-
vantage, the timber being in a COM
pact mass and the railroad bisecting
it. The hauls of the crude gum would
not be long and they would be easy,
the shipping of the products would
also be easy as siding could be run
in for that purpose.
Judging from what l have seen of
the timber, an experienced naval
stores man, with a three years lease
on the timber, would in that time get
about $500 casks of turpentine off
the place, say worth on an average
$50 a cask, with the market as it is
apt to range for the next three years
of prosperity, or about $4,000.
Then in addition" continued the
naval stores man, "an operator would
get about 5000 barrels of rosin off
the place, worth on an average say
So, which would add another $4,000,
making the total naval stores produc-
ton Of the place about $4,000.
1T makes me, as naval stores
man, feel badly to see this fine timber
going down without the turps and
rosin being first secured The timber
is no more valuable without being
turpentined than it is if it were tur-
pentined. The government has con-
clusiEelX shown that turpentining |
timber doesn't affect its strength or
durability in the least AS a naval |
stores man, would certainly like TO |
have got hold of such fine body of |
timber before the lumberman went to |
work on it. l suppose there is money |
in it from the lumberman's stand |
point, but just think what it would |
have been if turpentined for three |
years and then turned over to the |
saw mills for two or three years."
The terms of the agreement under |
which the timber tract in question !
was sold is not known, but it is ru- |
mored that it is to be cut over pc |
riod of five years. By the end of |
that time the saw mill will have |
swallowed up all of the merchantable |
timber on the place, in all likelihood. |

JOHN WESLEY'S CIPHER
NOW MADE CLEAR
Great MethOdiSt'S Diary in
CryptOgrdm Translated.

London, Oct. adjudication of thu
results of Prof. Wallace's Shakespear.
can research OVershadowed the inter.
esting announcement of one of the
most remarkable achievements of re-
cent literary research, which has just
been completed. This is the transla-
ton of large number of John Wes-
ley's original diaries and manuscripts
which have been carefully collected in
America and England. These docu-
ments, the existence of which had
grown mythical, were traced Their
contents were written in a curiously
and elaborately abbreviated longhand
in obsolete shorthand, and in highly
complex and keyless cipher.
The Rev. Nehemiah Curnock, with
the assistance of expert students,
spent four years in the work of de-
ciphering the cipher used chiefly in
an Oxford diary, and relating to re-
ligious beliefs. The cipher for long
time baff1ed Mr.. Curnock, but a mis-
sing letter at last came to him in a
dream.
The documents throw a new and
strange light on the development of
Wesley's character, on his literary,
political, and social activity in Amer
lea, on the part he played in the cre-
alton of a new church hymnology,
and on his early life at Oxford. New
versions of early journals have come
to light, including a beautiful account
of the famous Georgian love affair.
The discoveries will necessitate the
rewriting of the great religious teach
er's life.
