Natural gas has been discovered near
Columbus, Mississippi and sulphur de-
posts are known to exist in the coast
country south of here, and oil is usual

roration securing the leases thinks
enough of the prospects to sink test
well at cost of about $20,0OO.O0 and
this they propose to do the first or
next year on the Tatum Lumber Co

been long in the oil business and

BY r. l.. SIMPSON

Embraced in the Deal, Mr.. Slmp-

Special to The Netos.
Gulfport. Miss, Sept. 15.--Announce-
ment is made that r. L. Simpson, OF
Gulfport, has purchased the timber
holdings of the Camp & Hinton Com
pany recently in the hands OF a re-
ceiver
Terms of the sale have not been /,
made public, but Mr. Simpson has ac-
quired $4,000 acres of the most valu-
able cut-over pine lands in South Mis-
sissippi, located along the line OF the
Gulf & Ship Island railroad within a
radius of twenty miles of Lumber
ton.
The deal represents an investment
of not less than one quarter million
dollars and is probably considerably
in excess of that sum.
The tract is located on both sides
of the Ship Island line btween Make
and Columbia, within a distance Of
from 60 to 80 miles from Gulfport, the
principal lumber exporting point Of
the Mississippi coast, and also within
easy reach of the New Orleans &
Northeastern roads.
Mr.. Simpson is one Of the foremost
industrial promoters in Mississippi
and no man in the state has taken a
more active and sucJe-a'ul part in
promoting the growth and develop
ment of the piney woods section. II.
is president and manager Of the Gulf
, port Grocery Company, one of th.
largest wholesale firms in the state
and during the period Of his pres.
! dency of the Gulfport Commercial
Union that city enjoyed its creates
progress and prosperity.
It is not known whether Mr.. Simp
son has other capitalists associated
/ with him in the deal, but it can h'
: taken for granted that the deal mean
o that he has a development plan il
l. view, and that the purchase was no
merely made as an investment 1t
,. characteristic of Mr.. Simpson to "star
something, whenever the opportun
ty presents itself, and it can be safel
assumed that when the old Camp an
Hinton plant resumes operations tn
j., new owner will also be busily ell
. gagged in populating the cut-over land
;, with thrifty and industrial white farm
ers who will employ modern method
of agriculture.

of close extra period game in which
they nosed out the Y. NJ. c. A. men by
just two points, and they are deter

defeat will be needed as a lesson.

STAMP Of ITS YEAR
FOR MOTOR RACERS
American Contest Board De-
cides Way to Purify
Competition.
BY HARRY WARD.

The theory of the food experts that
canned and storage goods should be
marked with the year of their output
has been put into practice in the auto
mobile racing game.
Hereafter the vintage of a racer will
be one of the chief facts to be shown
plainly to the public. according to a re-
cent ruling OF the contest board of the
American Automobile Association. With
this ruling in effect the purchaser OF an
automobile can really know whether the
car he buys is identical with the stock
chassis that wins a speedway or road
race.
The board of governors of the Auto
mobile Club of Washington will meet
tonight in the clubs winter quarters
at the Grafton, and will consider a
number of matters pertaining to the
organizations summer activities. One
of the matters to be taken up Will be
the floral parade and carnival scheduled
to be held during Easter week. Now
that it has been definitely decided to
start the Glidden tour from this city
June 10, there has been a strong senti-
that the parade and carnival should be
postponed until two days before the
start of the tour, and ii Is likely the
board Of governors Will recommend this
action.
York driver, who won the grand prize
race at Savannah last fall, sailed today
for a short trip on the Continent. He
will visit the Fiat automobile factory
in Italy to inspect the new Fiat racers
that are being built for the French
grand prize race to be run July 2, and
one of which Bruce-Brown is likely to
drive.
THE future promises stability in
the automobile business" said J. z.
Sheldon, general manager of the Ramb-
Ter Automobile Company Of Washing
ton, 1920 New York avenue. From now
on brains, integrity, and experience will
count to the same degree that it does in
any other business which caters to those
persons whose incomes enable them to
articles costing several hundred
dollars and upward. The mushroom
period of the automobile game, with the
great experimental stage, is now pass
ing. The change which is now being
consummated will see a general better
ment of conditions from both the view
point of the maker and the dealer.
