LUMBER PRICES ADVANCING.
Accent Quotations and Other 8lflna
Point to Better Time*.
One of the best signs of better
times and one which will contribute
as much as anything else towards
restoring confidence, is the gradual
advance in the price of lumber.
Mr. J. P. Coffee In speaking of
the outlook this morning said that
dressed stock had advanced from
three to four dollars on the thousand
feet, which makes a mighty big dif-
fcronoo in the output of a mill dur
ing a week, or even during a day.
It is said the Betts Lumber Co.,
one ot the largest concerns lu the
South, tome time ago were asked to
quote prices on oar*ill stock. The
priced they quoted then was said to
have been $11 i>er thousand. About
thirty days afterwards, which was
only. £ few days ago, they were ask
ed again to quote prices on the same
stock- and the price this time was
$14 par thousand, showing am ad*
ranee of three dollars per thousand
in thirty days. 1
If pHoes continue very long to
idvanoe, the o’d time activity among
law mill men and lumbermen will
be seen again in this section.
The decline in prices of lumber by
reason of the panic wns a great blow
to South Georgia, but when prices
reach the normal point again it Is
thought by many that It will be a
long time before there la any decline.
Try this for dessert.

Items from the Hahira Dispatch.
The contract for the erection of the
Faniecs’ Union warehouse was
awarded D. A. Lawson of Valdosta.
We are glad to learn this, as Dan is
one of our home boys and we believe
In patronising home industry.
The Hahira Union has donated to
our distressed friend. Coot Martin.
$15.00 ta assist him in replacing the
damage wrought by the fire which
swept eventhlng from his home.
Mr. George Barfield, of near Salem
we would qualify as a nature fakir,
if it were not that he had the goods
with him when he visited The Dis
patch ofllce Friday morning and al
so a witness to prove hla veracity.
Mr. Barfield noticed behind the house
in which hla buggy (a stabled, an ori
fice in the ground from which a pro
cession of yellow jackets was con
stantly issuing. Upon investigation
he found a vast colony of the yellow
jacket tribe, busily engaged in rais
ing youngsters. Mr. Barfield broke
open the ground and found a cavity
that waa over two feet across, and
tills hole was simply packed with
oomb, the same running in several
sections of two layers back to back.
Mr. Darfleld brought Into The Dis
patch office great pieces of the neat,
and says there was more of it than
could bo packed into a crackerbox.
• NEW DIRECTORY OUT.
The Publishers Estimate Valdosta's
Population at 12,714.
(From Tuesday’s Daily.)
Mr. H. C. Ramsey, agent for L. L.
Polk & Co., publishers of the Val
dosta city directory for 1908-9, reach
ed the city and began the delivery of
books to subscribers on yesterday.
The work Is an altogether creditable
one, and shows a large growth In
(population since the last directory
waa published in 1904-5.
The new directory contains 4,238
names, and calculating the popula
tion by the multiple of three, a very
conservative basis, the Inhabitants
of the city and contiguous territory
as embraced In the book, number
12,714. The previous directory con-
Wined 3,032 names, which on the
same basis made the estimated popu
lation $.096 in 1904-5. An Increase
of 3,618 In population In four years
Isn't bad at all.
About 500 copies of the directory
have been printed, though all of
these will not be purchased by citi
zens of the town, a considerable
number of them go to the directory
libraries maintained by the publish
ers in other cities. The price of the
book Is $3.00.
The J. P. Carter Co. bars got the
cash to paj for all the ootton they
can get bold of.
Capt Harry Bum, of Macon, Is
■pending the day in Valdosta. It if
probable that Mr. Bonn win maka
bis home la VaMotfa, and if eo he
will be assured of a cordial welcome.
Near Beer Dealers May Quit.
Ordinary Simms this morning re
ceived his Instructions from Comp
troller General Wright relative
the collection of the near-beer tax
and was busy today calling on the
dealers.
There Is a probability that all of
the dealers n the city and county
will quit business rather than pay
the $200 tax for the privilege of sell
lug until January 1st, when they
would have to pay the tax agali\.
The dealers got together this morn
lng and had a conference over the
matter, at which It waa practically
decided to quit until January. Few
of them believe they would sell
enough In the next three and a half
months to warrant paying the
cense.
Ordinary Simms has stated to the
dealers that while a rigid construe
tlon of the law would require every
dealer who has sold a bottle or glass
of noar-beer since September 6th to
pay the tax. he shall not so con
strue It. and those who do not want
to continue In business will not be
required to pay the tax if they quit
today.
Bring your cotton to the J. P.
Carter Co., and get the highest mar
ket price for same.
Death of Two Little Boya.
The Infant child of Mr. and Mrs.
Caulte Shaw, of Nashville, died
Thursday and waa brought to Cat
Creek Friday for hgrial. ^Ita sorrow
ing loved ones have the aympathy of
all. Ita mother la very atek now,
grieving over her baby haa brought

The death angel alao visited the
home of Mr. and ,Mra. N. H. Tyler
and took from them their live weeks
old baby. It suffered untold pain tor
a few days with pneumonia and other
aerloua complications, then It passed

ty. It died Monday monlng and was
