DELTA SUGAR FACTORY
WORK WILL START SOON

1t will be most welcome news to
our readers to learn that actual work
will start on the new s1,0O0,0 900 sugar
factory about September 18th That
is to say actual dirt will fly on the
trackage that is to- be built, repre-
senting close to a total of two miles.
Some right of ways, and perfect title
is yet to be completed from the legal
division of the company, but as this
is only minor matter plansare COM
plete for this track work to be started
on date as stated.
Geo. B. Busby, consulting engineer,
was in the office Tuesday and stated
that everything was going along nice
ly. The new company investigated the
matter of line in this section but have
not made public statement whether
our local beds are of the exact kind
that is required. The sulphur near
Hotchkiss has had thorough test.
Neither of these two properties as to
the value to the company are made
public at this time
= The factory will be equipped, ac-
cording to Mr.. Busby, with the very
latest process known in the refining
of sugar from sugar beets. The silo
will be $50 feet in diameter, built in
circle shape out of concrete rein
forced throughout. This is something
new in silo construction around sugar
factories and the Delta mill will be
among the very first to employ the
improved modern method. The drafts
men have completed their work on
the sewers and drainage system and
this part of the new work will. be
surveyed out Immediately. Tests has
been made as to the formation of the
ground on the site so there is very
little more to be done in the way of
preliminary work.
Some of the concrete waterways will
be completed before cold weather sets
in, as well as getting the concrete
foundations in for the main building.

MOONSHINING is ALMOST
A HABIT IN MISSISSIPPI

Meridian, Miss, Dec. 10.-Prohibi-

of criminal, say federal officers.
"Moonshining" has almost become a
habit in all parts of the state.
One officer said that he would be
willing to wager there were more
than so stills in operation in Lauder
dale county and that the same condi-
ton existed in other counties in the
state.
The "white lightning" of various
grades is selling at SO to Sc a pint.
Some of it is declared by experts to
be better than the so-called high

others to follow, but this seems te
exercise little check on the business
