Mr. Lee arrived here today, but hk
took up immediately the work of pre

length with former Judge James R.
Dunbar, his son, Phillip R. Dunbar
and Congressman Robert O. Harris,
who have been retained in Mr. Rich-

Reports that the family ot Mist

After hearing an investigating and
detailed report from Mr. Frederick
Kauffman on the subject of wood pulp
and its future for this section, Judge
Sweat, president of the Board ot
l^rade, yesterday afternoon appointed
a special committee to confer and
carry on negotiations with Mr. Kauff
man with the view of havrng the
wood pulp and logging business pro
posed by him located here. This
committee is composed of Mayor Cox,
Supt. J. M. Hopkins and Dr. G. P.
Folks.
The value of the logging business
was shown to be quite a feature for
Waycross, as it would bring eastern
capital to this city in search of tho
material needed in the manufacture
of paper. BlAck gum is the chief tlm
her available in this section for wood
pulp, and the tests made in several
years experiments show bigger re
turns per cord than have been ob
tained from any other wood pulp.
In order that the company will
have the right spirit shewn it, in ad
dition to the moral support* of the
community, some of the stock will
be placed here. This is one of the
several details placed in the bands of
the special committee. The detailed
report on the wood pulp industry has
been published and copies of same
may be- obtained at the Board of
Trade.
