EXPORT BUSINESS
HURT BY RATES
FREIGHT ON LUMBER BETWEEN
GULF AND SOUTH AMERICA
NOW $50.

Gulfport, April Nv. S. Keel, who
operates a mill at DeLisle, was in thu

Mr.. Keel stated that his mill is run

mand for lumber is fairly good, lack
of tonnage and high freight rates are
interfering with the export trade
Rates to South America at present
range between $45 and $50, making
the cost of lumber to the consumer in
that country somewhat between $40
and SSc.

when Justice Moody Price fined DR..

Company, and A. r. Walker. manager
of the drug store, 5000 each. The
cases were appealed to Circuit Court.
Charles Claxton and Mamie ClaxtOn,
his wife, and Henry Edwards, broth
Charles ClaXtOn said that he had pur-
chased several bottles of Jamaica GIN
ger from Walker, at the drug store,
saying that he bought seven bottles
in three or four days. The other two
testified that they had also bought the
stuff.
w. E. Hopkins, Of the Standard
Drug Company, appeared for the de-
tense He stated that the bottles in
exhibition contained SO per cent alco-
hol, but contended that the sale was
legitimatized, where it was not sold
for a beverage. He also declared that
80 per cent of the drugs sold contain
at least so per cent or more alcohol,
necessary TO extract the substance
from the drugs. If this came under
the prohibition law, or the sale of vim
lOus, malt and spirituous liquors, pro-
hibited by statute, then it would be
hard for any drug store in the state to
operate. He also declared that every
drug store in the state sold Jamaica
ginger, which was recognized as a
medicine and not beverage.
Justice Price in passing on the case
said that he thought the sale of one
or two bottles would not come within
the meaning of the law, but the con-
tinued sale of the stuff to one person
should certainly put the seller on no.

medicinal purposes.

except by some decided move. Ex-
element, greed, appetite were rife in

striking exception to the usual run

vague rumor Of the coming Of Poggin,

were unusually mild In comparison
with former conduct. This lull, how
ever, did not deceive Duane. 1t could
not last. The wonder was that It
had lasted so long. u
Duane went often to see Mrs. Lara
ME and her children. One afternoon
while he was there he saw Miss Long
streth and Ruth ride up to the door.
They carried a basket. Evidently
they had heard of Mrs. Laramie's
trouble. Duane felt strangely glad,
but he went into an adjoining room
rather than meet them.

The little room was not very light,
there being only one window and the
doors, but Duane could see plainly
enough. Mrs. Laramie lay, hollow
checked and haggard, on a bed. Once
she had evidently been a woman Of
some loneliness. The ravages of
trouble and grief were there to read
In her worn face; 1t had not, however,
any of the hard and bitter lines that
had characterized her husbands.
Duane wondered, considering that

Longstreth, impressively.
Floyd bowed his head ut that, as
If the significance had just occurred

he said. "No doubt oil you say is

the girl. II don't get her-I reckon
well all go to hell"
Longstreth gave slight start,
barely perceptible, like the switch Of
an awakening tiger. He sat there head
down, stroking his mustache. Duane's
conviction was that Longstreth right
then and there decided that the thing
to. do was to kill Lawson.
Lawson no more caught the fateful
significance Of line crossed. limit
reached, a decree decided than IT. he
had not been present. He was
obsessed with himself. How, Duane
wondered, had man of his mind ever
lived SO long and gone SO far among
the exacting conditions of the South
west? The answer was, perhaps,
that Longstreth had guided him. up
held him, protected him. The COM
ing Of Ray LoEgstreth had been the
entering-wedge Of dissension.
"You're too inpatient" said Long
streth. RAY might be won. She
might marry you to save me, but she'd
hate you. That isn't the way. Wait.
Play for time. Let's plan to sell out
here-stock, ranch, property and
leave the country. Then you'd have

Lawson spoke breathlessly. with
haggard face and shadowed eyes. He
had no shame. He was simply In the
grip of passion.
-Longstreth gazed with dark, con-
trolled fury at this relative. In that
look Duane saw strong, unscrupu-
lous man fallen into evil ways, but
still man. 1t betrayed Lawson to
be the wild and passionate weakling.
Like the great majority Of evil and
unrestrained men on the border, he
had reached a point where influence
was futile. Reason had degenerated.
He saw only himself.
