From s.iv it ’
In accordance with a call mad
throueh a confidential circular to
the nav al stores manu.,ic.ai t.> 1
Georgia, mentioned in the Nows a
day or two ago, a meeting of manu
facturers ‘ was held at Waycross
yesterday.
Quite a number of leading
ducers were present, and between
*390 000 and *400 000 capitrl was
represented ru;r
The meeting held , , at the ,
was
Grand Central Hotel. A. P. Brant
W of Ulackshear, and' was elected
chairman, J. M. Purdom,
At the request of the chairman,
Mr. C. B. Townsend stated the ob
ject ot the meeting He said, in
substance, that it was to discuss
what action should be taken by the
operators to ren.edy certain griev
anefs an 1 evils which have sprung
up in the naval stores business.
All present, he said, are practical
manufacturers and operators, an
know full well the pres mt condition
of the business, and how im;
cable it is to carry on the business
in the future as it has been carried
"on in the past. The business has
grown to such a magnitude that it
is second only to cotton in impor
tance.
BUSINESS OUGHT TO PROSPER.
It in a business which should
prosper, and out of which the
eratovs should make money,
instead of this it is
and manufacturers are growing
poorer and poorer every year. Over
production, he said, is in the main
the cause of all this t ouble, and the
fac .ors and commission men are re
sponsible for it. There i i now'
enough rosin and spirits to supj y
the demand for a year, and yet the
factors are urging and pursuading
the manufacturers to enlarge their
operations, and are preparing to
make heavier advances for the com
ing season than ever before.
This, he went on to say, is ex
plained by the jact that the profits
of the factors are by no means con
fined to their commissions for hand
ling the goods. The factor makes
money upon the amount of stuff he
handles, and not upon the price at
which it sehs. He makes a large
profit every year out of insurance,
Suppose he handles $1,000,000
worth of naval stores in a year.
the factovs , profits.
The manufacturers are charged
\ of 1 per cent, for insurance,which
on $1,000,000 amounts to $5,000,
and the factor carries a
icy for the year, which does not cost
him over $500. The difference is
* «>««■ **, «*l is pocketed by the
factor. On supplies furnished the
manufacturer the factor makes an
average profit of 10 per cent. Sup
pose he furnishes $100,000 worth of
supplies in a year, he is just $10,
000 ahead
Not many year ago the factor
made a clear profit of 100 per cent,
out of storage. The railroads
charged the factors 6c. a barrel for
storing rosin and 8c. for spirits, al
lowing a rebate, and billed the
nfactorer with tiie full rates of 6c.
and 8c. This practice has now been
stopped, but it is not more than 3
years since it formed no small
of the faators' profits.
views OF SOME PRODUCERS.
Mr. Purdom said that in the mat
ter of freights some manufacturers
had ... demanded iii and received - , rebates. , .
For instance, on barrels of rosin
weighing 350pounds, manufactur
phon *r- were billed with 45c. r>er barrel,
the factor paid but 35c.
* Mr. Brantley, in speaking of in
gurance freights, supplies, etc„ said
y A v-> 1 / / / u
/ *• i't- -.

that the factors had no right to
charge more than they paid for
thes - things. In a business of any
magnitude the profits derived from
these sources must bo enormous.
The resr't is, that the factors have
the money and the l.ianuiactutOis.
the experience. He thought that
the grievance: of the proi m, i s
shodld be publicly agitated, am
some action should betaken >v
which they can remedied, if not re
dressed.
Expressions of opinion were giv
en by all, and the universal feeling
was that there were grievanees that
should be remedied, and evils in
the business that should be COlTOCt
ed and that 1 prompt j and decisive
i taken with . this . end
I action should be
i mview vuuv - Some borne dismiKsion discussion was was had Had
as to how they should proceed, and

manufacturers m order-to iii- bring
about this result.
THE PKOPOSE0 ORGANIZATION.
The formation of a mutual and
proteetive association was discuss
i ed at length, and met with a unan
> imons approval. No definite steps
were taken ’ toward an organization " '
but the most feasible plans and
methods of organizing, incase it
' became necessary, were talked over.
I , The faiigg- sumreetion saoM of Mr Mr. Brantlev luamiey on on
this line that a pr- mu nt, vice pres
; ident, secretary and board of ten
directors be elected, and they be
; empowered to establish offices in

the plan proposed.
; It was estimated that the amount
of ea» ital neces • ry to commente
business would be small, only suffi
ch ut to pay the running exper..-es
of the offices. If a producer wish
esto borrow money he can do
! by giving the same collateral tother
association that he would have to
give to the factor, and with this col
lateral the manager can obtain mon
ey from the banks upon the same ;
terms as the factors. By dealing
with the association, tlte purchaser,
it is claimed, will save the heavy
commissio i paid to the f tor, as
well as the numerous outside profits
which he makes,

Thursday, November 4, was the
day agreed upon by the committee
to meet in Savannah to confer with
the factors. The object of the as
i ! ciation, it wae stated, will not be to
antagonize the factors, but to

ducers in case suitable arrange
ments cannot be made with thefac

the discussion.

through tlieir farce, and although
the re*l-iiind.d cnimn-ds were

that “the Chinese came to their

When l asked an officer of the

only answ er elicited was a smile.

a law that Chinamen may be killed
