BRANCH TOBACCO
HOUSE COMING
Jackson Correspondent Says Hatties-
burg ls to Have 4 New In
dustrJ.

The jackson correspondent to the
Mobile Register tells OF another new
industry which is coming to Hatties-
burg. He writes as follows:
That the tobacco industry in Mis-
sissippi. one of the newest of the new
crops to be grown with any great
amount of acreage since the advent
of the boil weevil, is here to stay, is
evidenced by the fact that the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company. of Clarksdale
which, by the way, is composed ell
tirely of home folks, and has no con-
nection with the tobacco trust-an-
nounces the construction of ware
house and rehaEdling plant in the
southern part OF the state probably
at Hattiesburg. This will represent
an investment of over $4,000. 1t is
learned that the farmers in the i'm
mediate neighborhood Of the new
warehouse have pledged themselves
to plant something over three hun
dred acres of tobacco for the next
three years. and the company has
agreed to take the entire output at
market prices.
! THE crop on the state farms this
year has been very satisfactory in
deed in point of yield and cultivation,
and preparations are being made to
plant a much larger acreage next
year. The demonstration has con-
vinced numerous farmers that there
is money In tobacco and there will be
a considerable number of recruits to
that crop next season.
THE American Tobacco Company
announces that where the farmers In
neighborhood will plant as much al
ten acres In tobacco an expert In the
cultivation of the weed will be sent
to advise with them and visit then
t during the year on the cultivation
, besides furnishing the seed free. Th'
southern part of the state on th'
. sandy land furnished very nnt
grade of light tobacco. hence the in
tention TO develop the planting II
, that section. The cultivation hai
} been we'll and widely started in tn
| Delta where a different variety o
leaf Is grown"

CHAPTER xlIi.-(continued.)

1t was noon, the sun pitiless and hot
above them, before they struggled
within the partial shelter of the sand
dunes, and sank YEARLY down to their
meager lunch. Their supply of water
was limited, and the exhausted ponies
must wait until they reached the river
to quench their thirst. Yet this was
very far off now, and Keith had seen
enough of their surroundings to locate
the position of the ford. Slow as they
must proceed, three hours more would
surely bring them to the bank of the
stream. They discussed their plans
briefly as the three sat together on
the warm sand revived both by the
food and the brief rest. There was
not a great deal to be determined,
only where the girl should be left, and
how the two men had better proceed
to escape observation.
Fort Larned was the nearest and
safest place for their charge, none of
the party expressing any desire to ad-
venture themselves within the imme-
date neighkorhood of Carson City.
What her future plans might be were
not revealed, and Keith forebore any
direct questioning His duty plainly
ended with placing her in safe en-
vironment, and he felt convinced that
Mrs. Murphy, of the Occidental Hotel,
would furnish room, and, if necessary,
companionship. The sole problem re-
maining-after she had rather listless-
1y agreed to such an arrangement
was to so plan the details as to permit
the negro and himself to slip through
the small town clustered about the
post without attracting undue atten-
ton. No doubt, the story of their es-
cape had already reached there, en-
bellished by telling, and serious trou-
BILE might result from discovery. Keith
was surprised at the slight interest
she exhibited in these arrangements,
merely signifying her acquiescence by
word, but he charged it to physical
WEAKNESS, and the reaction from her
night of peril; yet he took pains to
explain fully his plan, and to gain
her consent.
This finally settled, they mounted
again and rode on through the lanes
traversing the sand dunes, keeping
headed as straight as possible toward
the river. The ford sought was some
miles down stream, but with the
horses thirst mitigated, they made
excellent progress, and arrived at the
spot early in the evening. Not in all
the day had they encountered liv-
ing object, or seen a moving thing
amid the surrounding desolation, Now,
looking across to the north, a few
cleaning lights told of Fort Larned
perched upon the opposite bluffs.

and tents, but now with it's deficien-

followed, led directly along its single

SYNOPSIS.

Jack Keith, a Virginian, now a bor-
der plainsman, is riding along the Santa
Fe trail on the lookout for roaming war
parties of savages. He notices a camp
fire at a distance and then sees team
attached to wagon and at full gal!op
pursued by men on ponies. When keith
reaches the wagon the raiders have mass
acred two men and departed. He searches
the victims finding papers and locket
with a Woman's portrait. He resolves to
hunt down the murderers. Keith is ar
rested at Carson City, charged with the
murder. his accuser being a ruffian named
Black Bart. He goes to jail fully real1z-
ing the peril of swift border justice. A
tells him he Is Neb and that he knew the
Keith family back in Virginia. Neb says
one of the murdered men was John
Sibley the other Gen. Willis Waite, for
merly an officer in the Confederate army.
The plainsman and Neb escape from the
cell, and later the two fugitives become
lost in the sand desert. They come upon
a cabin and find it's lone occupant to be a
young girl, whom Keith recognizes as a
singer he saw at Carson City. The girl
explains that she came there in search of
a brother who had deserted from the
army. A Mr.. Hawley induced her to
come to the cabin while he sought to lo-
cate her brother. Hawley appears, AID
Keith in hiding recognizes him as Black
Bart. Hawley tries to make love to the
girl. There is a terrific battle in the
darkened room in which Keith overcomes
the girl who says that her name is Hope,
joins in the escape. Keith explains his
situation and the fugitives make for Fort
1arned.
