 Jackson Is Enthusiastic
 Over Oil Wells
By E. E. FRANTz

Jackson Miss, March 3-(Special0 Governor Bilbo is preparing to go on long automobile journey, one that will keen him out of the state for about three months. The board of directors Of the Mississippi centennial which opens next December, have authorized the governor to visit every state capital in the interest of the exposition, and to take along with him another good speaker, press agent and mechanician, their expenses to De paid by the exposition company. The governor has determined on those who are to accompany him, but Is not ready to make announcement. He will drive his own automobile on the trip, speak at hundreds of towns and distribute great quantities of advertising matter all over the country setting forth the greatness of the centennial and the wonders or Mississippi generally. The directors are confident this advertising stunt was never before equalled, and that 1t will bring thousands of citizens of other states to Mississippi during the six months the exposition is to remain open
 The itinerary has not been decided on definitely but it is known that the gov ernor will begin with an invasion of Ala bama, thence through Georgia and Flor ida to the Atlantic ocean. He then turns his auto northward and travels all the way to the capital of Maine, paying his respects to the governors of all the states on the way. From Maine he will swoop down below the great lakes through the middle west and to the foot of the Rocky mountains, even if he does not drive across to the Pacific slope. In either event the trip will be of gerat interest. especially to the people of Mississippi, and the press agent who accompanies the party is going to have his hands filled to overflowing. The governor expects to start on this trip in April.

 The plant has two eight-ton ice ma chimes to cool the water for better carbonation. MT. Hatcher says the city water is fine, but every drop of it is filtered before it is used.
 When you see beautiful pair ol horses drawing a chero-cola wagon, remember the plant operates nine wagons in Jefferson county. and also has nine delivery trucks and three au- tomobiles for salesmen The plant works over 40 men; uses daily average $500 worth of chero- cola syrup.

OIL WELL IS A MECCA


 The Atlas Oil company has erected it's derrick on leased land three miles west of the city of Jackson, and workmen are now engaged putting in the machinery. For several days the citizens of Jackson. many of whom have the oil fever the worst sort, have been driving out to see how the work is progressing. The com pany behind this venture has an abund- ance of capital, and, will not stop with one we'll whether oil is struck or not. The geologists have assured them they will be apt to strike oil at a depth of less than 3500 feet. Jackson has always believed there is gas and oil under the town, but efforts to organize companies with sufficient capital to make a thor ough test have always failed. Now that other people are after this oil Jackson is ready to loosen her purse strings.
