Way LOSS, t -■ mrci 25 — The Southern Pine company and residents Coffee coumv are ar war over the ownership 01 timber land- around Nich- oils, and the leeiiug lias reached the danger mark. During the past month no less than 25 saws have been ruined Gt the big mill, seven of them being de- gtroyed Saturday. One man employed by the company has been notified that he must leave at once or suLer the con¬ sequences. He says that lie expects to be assassinated at any time, but does not propose to b© frightened off. People in that part of the county are go intensely bitter against the Southern Pine company that bloodshed is feared by the more law abiding element.

When the saw strikes these pieces of iron it is ruined, There is great danger of employes of the m ib being fatally injured by the bursting of the saws, and unless the trouble is settled soon it is liable to re ach dangerous proportions. ------------ TO SERVE IN PHILIPPINES Government Orders Companies L and K to the Far East.
