Vhiskey--No Negroes And No Debts Come He

But of late q new method for sav- ing the turpentine has been inaugurat- the mills, instead of being fed at once to the furnaces, is boiled in a retort, the water from the retort Is distilled; and . yield of turpentine is secured that is almost as profitable as cutting
 WOOD PULP POSSIBILITIES.
 This method of handling the saw mili-men it M in an industry that may have world wide effect The say dust E reduced te s pplpy mass ,. in the s.ir. rs rs Ses soft ns gun 1snas gesfs but one thing--paper pulp. .-s
 An expert who has examined this pulp says high grade of paper ean some of the miils wlll shortly install small plants for trial at paper Inak- ing from the saw dust. ,.,sAs...e.. of splendid fibre and of uniform quality after 1t has been converted in- to saw-dust. It is the most easily It's quantities can be adjusted for paper manufacture to a nicety.
 This paper industry bids fair to eo- SOAe for with ias ii the @ sap removed from. the saw-dust and the cost of work paid for in the lumber and turpentine bust ness. the residue sawdust pulp rom on the mill owner free of all cost. He Is literally presented with high grade pulp Nhat needs but the conver-
 What this will mean to the mer- eantile South Is almost beyond be- lief. Paper bags. paper boxes, paper ized communities made from a paper pulp will be made in this section of the country and at so little cost that that have to cut wood for pulp alone and pay transportation to get their wares here will not be able to meet Southern prices in competition.
 sf With land cheap and timber cheap the Southern mills getting their ma chinery from the Alabama machinery supply houses, they can enter the held and drive less blessed sections of the country to the wall and out of busi- ness.
 IN THE HEART OF THE TIMBER.
 Florala. Ala. Is in the heart of this wondrous timber belt. The town IS and the lumber and turpentlne busi- nesses, as has been said. will furnish the. pulp for nothing to the man who owns timber land or a saw mtll.
 Az the timber Is being cleared about Florala the right kind of land is being left for cultivation. Naturally fertt-' lized by the desaylng leayes oI tne ia,sd tos5 that will not need fertilizer for years. It Is sold cheap. that Is. It Is being sold cheap right now, put JuuEIn8 ITOHl lHc way settlers are coming in. 1t will not remain at from $10 to $25 an acre very long. Truck farming Is already well under way. and the climate allows the farmer to beat the other planters to the great truck marts many weeks ahead
 FINE FARM LANDS.
 The soii of CovingtoH, County in the vicinity of Florala Is most adaptable to truck farming, als" Walton County, Florida, adjoining. giving splendid re- suits and being adaptable to the cul- ture of almost anything. In recent years many of the farmers have plant ed sugar cane for their own use. with the best results. There Is plenty of low land for the culture of this most profitable plant and the quality Of it insureS the best syrupS
 Next season many of the planters will give indigo a trial, as the plant is found growing wild near the town. and luxuriantly. As there Is none of the indigo used In the United States planted and raised at home. 1t Is be- iieved 1t will shortly become staple crop of this section of the South. At present the hundreds of tons used in the United States annually are im- ported from Java and brought to the cotton and silk and woolen mills of this country at a very great expense. The farmers realize that with such demand for it. and none raised at home the business can be made as profitable, if not more so. than 1t was before the Revolution.
