PORT GETS ANOTHER
TURPENT|NE PLANT
ANNOUNCEMENT MADE THAT
STILL WILL BE- AT LAME.
First Part Of New Year Promises
This Additional Enterprise,
Details Having Been
Completed.

Announcement was made on We'd
nesday afternoon by Prof. o. II. de
Lamorton that new enterprise has
been secured for the port territory,
this enterprise being the entrance Of
an old established turpentine com.
pany into the vicinity. The company,
1t Is stated, has closed deal for some
$4,000 acres Of tImhered lands in the
port territory and elsewhere, and the
still will be erected at Laine
1t IL understood that the deal was
closed Wednesday morning, the rep
resen tatives OF the invading company
leaving for New Orleans on the after.
noon train. The tirst men Will IN
wade the territory, according 70 pres
ent plans, early Ia January, next, for
the purpose Of taking charge OF the
woods and "boxIng" the trees, and the
still will be completed and ready for
operation Ia time to take care OF the
first crop. The deal closed, it IL
stated, covers period Of three years
RECENT RESUME.
With the prospective coming OF this
enterprise, which will mean the CIR
cnlation OF additional new money In
the port, It Is interesting to recall
pending or completed deals that are
expected TO result In a reawakening
OF industrial activity. The fertilizer
plant, which promises to be not only
a dividend payer 10 the stockholders
but also a, very desirable medium Of
advertising the port territory, has
been completed and all the machinery
completely installed, Early In the
New Year active operations will have
been commenced.
The big paper and paper pulp mill
above Moss Point is expected to be
completed and 10 operation by the
time the holiday season Of 1912 arrives.
This is enc OF the largest enter.
prises located 10 the state within the
year, and II Is estimated that 1t Will
be the means OF bringing something
over one thousand new settlers TO the
territory. This is estimated from the
number OF workmen to be employed,
IL being suggested that about 300
wage earners Will be on the pay rolls.
The activity OF the MissIssippi.Ala-
bama Traction Company on its pro-
posed line from Mobile to this city
tends to the belief that actual con-
structIon may be begun not later than
May /, next. The completion OF this
line Is expected TO result IN an imme-
date increase In the business OF the
local merchants, and the beauties OF
the beach front are looked TO as an
inducement for the erection Of nu.
merous handsome summer homes.
These things being taken into con.
siderat;0n, IL is Of more interest To
recall the fact that the United States
government has but recently com.
pleted the dredging OF brand new slips
just above the draw bridge, and that
Cooney, Eckstein & Company, one OF
the largest firms IN the country. has
