J. A. Bishop, of this city, has just
acquired the one-fourth interest of I.
D. Byrd in The Petrous Manufacturing
company, of Biloxi, Miss, and has
been elected vice-president of the
company and appointed sales mana
ger. He has also a contract as fiscal
agent for the organization of all the
subsidiary companies, that shall here
after be organized in the United
States. This company is manufactur-
Ing many articles from a patented
composition which becomes petrifed
when properly mixed and the claim is
made that it is damp, frost, fire and
rot proof and cannot be effected by
climatic conditions.
The process appears to be applicable
to the manufacture of practically ev-
erything for which wood is used,
Some of the items ON which the COM
pany is now specializing are brick,
paving, building and fire brick, weigh
ing one-third less than clay brick
fence post, wharf post, telegraph and
telephone posts, building blocks, drain
and sewer pipes, floor, porch and
street tile, wall plaster, tanks, flower
pots, uIns, roofing, windows and dool
sills, columns, balusters and steps.
The one item of telephone and tele
graph posts seems to open a field o
immense possibilities if the company

being about twenty lemons of unus-
ual size on the young tree.
The results obtained by Mr. Batson
from this one tree clearly prove the
possibility of successfully growing
citrus fruits in this locality.
The statement often made that by
the use of right methods and proper
industry anything can be grown here
that can be grown in the temperate
zone" is finding constant verifcation
from such farmers as Mr.. Batson.
The extension of the citrus fruit belt
northward is constantly going on, ant
its development in this section of the
country is unquestionably only mat
ter of time.
Mr.. Batson is a great believer in the
value of pecans to this section and il
constantly enlarging his pecan or
chard in which he now has a numbe
Ief bearing trees.

political system in this country has

cen pany can sell an indestructable
fire-prOof roofing for SIS as against

The matter that specially concerns
Hattiesburg in connection with this
new process, is, that sand forms 45
per cent of the material used. The
numerous gravel plants in operation in
this section all have immense quanti-
ties of clear sharp sand that is at
present unmarketable. If the claims
made for this new process can be sus-
! tanned, every square yard of this sur
plus sand would find a market and its
manufacture right here, into such ar
ticles as those being turned out by
the Petrous Manufacturing company
would mean much added wealth tt
this section.
Mr.. Bishop has been invited to ap
pear before the Commercial Clut
