WOOD FAMINE THREATENED.
OAK WOOD PROMISES TO COMMAND
I-M Y PRICES THIS WINTER.
H'jn Great Demanil From the Sol
diers Him Ceil to u Decided Sliort
-41-e in the Supply for the Saran
iinh Pulille—Small Dealer* Unable
to Get Wood and Forced to lluy
From Those Who Had Stocked I p
Ahead.
P.ivnnnah may be treated to an oak
fun . before the winter Is over. With
i n , o!diers consuming twenty-five cords
, ,i. v. or 175 cords a week, and with the
-ti ks in the hands of wood dealers being
ra| i;.ily diminished, it would not be sur
,ii- g if the demand wiped out the sup
ply it times during the next few months.
A- it is. some of the smaller dealers
haw not had any oak wood fdr sale for a
n i; or longer, and find themselves un
able to gel any In ihe country. They have
1,, , ii in the habit of ordering a earload or
nvo to meet their wants, from time to
lime and were caught with little wood on
hand when the demand from the soldiers
~inv . They have had no trouble In past
v, ns, and anticipated none this winter.
AY, >n they sent out orders to the country
a week or more ago they were surprised
to learn that their demands could not be
met The contractors who ore supplying
the army with wood had been ahead of
them, cleaned up everything in sight, and
put in orders that took everything that
could he chopped and brought lo the rail
roads.
Asa result, a number of the smaller
dealers either had to turn customers away
or buy the wood themselves from the
larger dealers, and do with little or no
jrolit in order to hold their trade.
Two or three large dealers, perhaps more,
were stocked up for the winter, either
having the wood here or contracted for
ahead. Bringing the wood to the city in
tralnload lots they are able to contract for
an entire season’s supply. These dealers
refused to sell any of their stocks to the
soldiers, realizing what was coming, and
desiring to protect the interests of their
regular local patrons.
The small dealers in wood are evidently
going to work at a disadvantage this win
ter, as Ihe situation Is apt to grow worse
rather than better, eo far as securing new
supplies are concerned. With colder
weather the consumption of wood, both
by the soldiers and citizens will he vastly'
increased. It would not be surprising
then to see an advance in prices. Already,
it is said, dealers in the country are
demanding better figures and getting them.
One class of dealers in the city are put
ting up prices. They are those who have
been selling pine at 75 to 80 cents a load
and oak at SI.OO to sl.lO a load. The large
dealers have strictly adhered to the price
that has ruled for some time, $1 a load
for pine and $1.25 for oak. A ioad is sup
posed to be a quarter of a cord. When
tiskt and yesterday as to how it is some deal
ers could afford to cut the price 15 to 25
cents a load, a large retailer remarked sen
tentiously: "Cut price, cut load. To come
people a load's a load, and the price is
everything, but when you pay 75 cents you
get 75 cents worth of wood, and when you
pay a dollar you get a dollar’s worth.”
The smaller dealers, those who have lye on
si lling at cut figures, are now being forced
in many Instances to advance prices.
The supplies of pine wood in the city
are said to be larger than of oak, and
there is not so much danger of a famine
in regard to It. Pine wood will not be
used much by the soldiers, and the de
mand will not be so much above the nor
mal.
If prices should advance to any great
extent, there might be a boom in the de
mand for soft coal for grates. Nearly all
Savannah houses are furnished with
grates. Once the householders get to us
ing soft coal, the tendency to burn fuel
might continue and affect the wood market
in after years.
fine of the strange things about the
wood market is that with hundreds of
thousands of acres of wood within reach
of Savannah, people here pay a dollar a
cord more for wood than is paid in New
York state, for instance, where the forests
are almost gone, and where oak trees are
at a premium. A wood famine, or even $4
a cord for wood in a country of forests
like Georgia seems beyond understanding
to people who have lived In other parts
of the country.
One dealer said Ihe trouble has been that
owing to the wet and rainy conditions in
the forests during the last two or three
months, It has been Impracticable, and,
in a measure, impossible to get wood.
SEVENTH CORPS WELL CAKED FOR
Soldier* From Other Corps Look on
It With Envy.
"The men in the Seventh'Corps are cer
tainly cared for much better than we ever
" re,’’ said an ex-member of the Fourth
t'orps yesterday. “I notice here that the
regiments have many conveniences that
"• never dreamed of, and I wonder how
one command can fare so much better
than another. I guess it Is on account of
tY' n. Lee knowing better how to look out
for his men and seeing that they get all
•hey should have that would be likely to
tend to their personal convenience and the
prevention of illness,’’
The discharged 6oldler went on to say
that he had heard several members of the
Second Georgia, which is in the Fourth
1 "rps, gay that the regiments in that body
never fared as well as those of the Sev
•nth. He himself has been about among
•he camps, and has seen In what particu
lars the comfort of the men is looked 'out
for and the. precautions that are taken
against sickness.
A feature of the camps that Impresses
members of the Fourth Corps is one that
" is conspicuously absent from those In
which they played the soldier. This is the
number of buildings that may be seen.
There are often bathhouses, and there ore
always cook shops. The men have either
mess halls built of lumber or tents, with
benches and tables arranged under them,
'hat serve the same purpose. The Second
Georgia, for one, and other regiments of
the Fourth Corps, never had any such
Provision made for their comfort. The best
'hey could do was to let the men line up
with their little tin pans and cups when
mess call sounded, and have their meals
ladled out to then* as the line passed on.
Then the men were at liberty to sit any
where on the ground they liked and eat
what they had received from the cooks;
though there was a restriction placed upon
'hem relative to the dropping of any por-
Don of their food about the camp. The
men in the Seventh are looked upon by
'hose of the Fourth as living in the lap of
luxury.
Buildings for commissary supplies are to
lie seen in the camps here, but those of the
I’ourth were generally innocent of them.
1 'fitres of regimental officers are built of
lumber, and, in fact, in many particulars,

for a looking-glass. They have modern
mirrors that will tell them very promptly
whether their beauty is fading. A wom
an's beauty fades very rapidly if she is
troubled with some derangement of the

or carelessness in this respect frequently
causes great suffering and irregularity in
after life. Little irregularities and weak

promptly and properly treated at once.
Mothers cannot be too conscientious in
this respect, and cannot throw aside the
prudery that is so prevalent upon this point
too soon. Every young woman should
know something about her own physical
make-up, and the importance to her future
of her local as well as general health. A

it to meet the trials of wifehood and moth

not a cure-all. It is intended for but one

Taken during the period of gestation, it

TIMOTHY MANSION' DEAD.
Hi* Funeral nt Sacreil Heart Church
This Afternoon.
Timothy Mannion, an old and well
known citizen, died yesterday at noon at
the home of his son-in-law, W. T. Hus
sey, at No. 321 East First street.
The deceased was a native of Ireland.
He came to Savannah in the early six
ties, and was for a number of years in the
employ of the Central Railroad, and aft
erwards, for half a score of years, with
the Plant System. The increasing infirm
ities of age caused him to cease work
some time since. The immediate cause
of his death was paralysis, with which
he was attacked three or four months
ago.
The deceased was a brother of the late
Joseph Mannion, the well-known restau
rateur. He bore a reputation for upright
ness and integrity, and had many warm
friends. He leaves one daughter, Mrs. W.
T Hussey. The funeral will take place
from Sacred Heart Church this afternoon
at 3 o'clock.

Mr. J. B. Wiggins died yesterday at
his home, No. 408 Harris street, west. The
deceased was born at Spring Island, S. C.,
Oct. 15, 1849. He had resided in Savan
nah about twenty-five years land was en
gaged in the wood business for a num
ber of years. He leaves a wife and six
children. His funeral will take place from
his late residence this afternoon at 3:30

Grove Cemetery.
True Cause of Minstrelsy’s Revival.
Not in many years has there been such
a sudden and widespread revival in min
strelsy as the present season has shown.
For a time it seemed as though this once
pre-eminently popular form of amusement
were about to become utterly extinct.
From a sentimental standpoint this prob
ability was deeply regrettable. On the
other hand, minstrelsy in the last few
years has been so handicapped by a lack
of enterprise and a seeming desire to send
companies out on as cheap a scale as pos
sible, that few of its old-time lovers would
have went at its grave. Suddenly, how
ever, it has burst forth Into new life and
seems likely to become as widespread as
when In the zenith of its popularity. The
season may fairly be termed an Ethio
pian renaissance, equal in extent, if not
in importance to that of Italy. The logic
of this may not at first be easily seen.
Ferhaps the patriotism aroused by the war
has infused new life into what is essential
ly an American institution. There are
those, however, who see an even more
practical reason for this revival. Herein
rests a bit of unwritten minstrel history.
When it became known that William H.
We=t had separated from his old business
associations and would this season head
his own organization, there was consterna
tion in the minstrel world, according ro
those who attempt to explain this resur
rection of Ethiopian comedy. To every
one, they say, at all familiar with the in
side workings of minstrelsy it has been
an open secret that Mr. West has been the
real energy of the many organizations un
der one title or another, with which for a
score of years he has been connected. At
times others associated with him have,
perhaps, held a point nearer “the center
of the stage” or been more in the public
eye. But this was only while the cur
tain was up. Behind the scenes and In
business councils Mr. West has always
been the man of ideas, the originator and
the life of every noveliy, the backbone
0 f every company to which his name has
been attached. Yet he was hampered. Too
great conservatism at times overruled him
when he would have startled and delight
ed the public by the originality and dar
ing of his more than up-to-date projects.
Conservatism was killing minstrelsy. No
one realized this more keenly or more re
belliously than Mr. West. He determined
that in severing all connection with others
lay his only chance of giving the public
the advanced form of minstrelsy that it
demanded, and that he had long advocated.
This was the sole cause of the birth of
William H. West's Biy Minstrel Jubilee.
And that birth caused a storm in minstrel
land, for every minstrel, and every min
strel manager, knew that he would have
to "hustle” as never before now that
West had actually shaken off all restraint
and was at last about to carry out all
his revolutionary ideas. These facts will
make especially interesting the first ap
pearance here of Mr. West’s new company
on Friday, Nov. 11, matinee and night.
In addition to giving a performance of
hitherto unattempted excellence It is prob
able that the West organization will be
even more far reaching in its effects by
causing all other companies to look to
I heir laurels, thus benefiting minstrelsy in
general and placing a vast debt of grati
tude upon the public.—ad.

THEIR OWN WORST ENEMIES.
MR. M’DON'OI 0. H’S VIEW OF LI)1 Oil
MEN WHO VIOLATE THE LAWS.
Tlie Impression nt Atlanta Is That
the Bush Bill Will Come 1 1> Again
In it New Form—Representative
McDonough Will Oppose It—llls
Views on Sncli Legislation—Liquor
Dealers VV ho Cry Persecution
When the Law* Are Enforced Are
Responsible for Prohibition Agi
tation.
Chatham’s representatives will be back
In theTr seats in the House this morning,
and it is probable that the bills to repeal
the commission laws will be introduced to
day.
While in the city, In discussing the Sun
day liquor question, Representative Mc-
Donough stated that the impression pre
vailed in the House that there would be
another determined effort at legislation
this year on the line of the Bush bill. The
temperance, or rather, prohibition, forces
are likely to assume an aggressive atti
tude and the old fight of past sessions
may be gone all over again.
”1 shall vote against the bill,” said Mr.
McDonough, “and shall advocate its de
feat. I sincerely believe that local option,
with the laws properly enforced, is the
wisest and safest course to pursue. Each
county should continue to regulate its own
affairs in this connection, but the state
and local laws governing the liquor traf
fic, should be properly enforced without
'fear or favoritism. The saloon keepers
who oppose the enforcement of the iaw,
who defy it openly or dis
obey it secretly, and who
shriek that they are being persecuted
when an honest effort is made to compel
them, like other citizens to obey the law*,
are their own worst enemies. They do
more to precipitate prohibition agitation
than the other forces do. Proper obedi
ence to the laws regulatfng the liquor
traffic would have done much in the past
to allay aggressive movements against
the bars. While I shall vote against any
Bush bill legislation, at the same time I
believe that the laws regulating the liquor
business, such as those prohibiting its sale
on Sunday, should be rigidly enforced, and
punishment be made severe enough to de
ter violations. Men differ in their views
on these questions, but I have no hesi
tancy in stating my opinion as to what
is the best policy.”
Another gentleman, well posted In Geor
gia affairs, said yesterday that the pro
hibition movement was slowly progress
ing. Eighty-seven counties are now dry,
and in some others the result of an elec
tion would be a matter of doubt. Even
in Fulton it Is a question whether pro
hibition sentiment would not prevuil, the
temperance sentiment being especially
strong in Atlanta. In that city, said he,
the laws are enforced, the bars are closed
promptly at the early hour provided, Sun
day liquor selling is reduced to a mini
mum, violations being in the most secret
fashion, and the general tendency is to
force those in the liquor business to obey
every law of the state or ordinance of
the city bearing on them.
“Why,” Baid he, in conclusion, “I have
had an Atlanta man who has been in Sa
vannah, and who had been told of the
conditions here, tell me that if such a
condition ever came about in Atlanta it
would result in absolute prohibition just
as soon ns citizens became aware of it.
The knowledge of the strong prohibition
sentiment there, in itself, tends to keep
the - liquor sellers strictly within the pale
of the law.”
TURKEY FDR THE SOLDIERS.
’1 hnnksgivlng Dinner for Gnnrds If
They Are Then In the Army.
A meeting of the ladies of the Guards'
Aid Society was held yesterday afternoon
at 4 o’clock at the Guards’ arsenal. Mat
ters of a financial nature were first con
sidered and passed upon, after which the
ladies turned to the consideration of a
Thanksgiving dinner for the First Battal
ion of the Second Georgia Regiment, pro
vided it is still in the service when Thanks
giving day arrives.
Upon this point there is considerable
doubt, and the ladies were able to arrive
at nothing definite, further than the decis
ion to give the boys the dinner in the
event of ttieir still being in the
service. It is not expected that there will
be very many to partake of the delica
cies tho ladies will provide, in case the
department adheres to its decision to re
tain the regiment, as all those to be dis
charged in any event will have secured
their papers of dismissal by that time.
Only some thirty will be left to enjoy the
kindness of their benefactresses once more,
If the department decides the few who will
remain in the service form a sufficient
basis for the retention of the regiment.
The ladles also took up the question of
the hospital they are conducting near
Camp Brown for its sick. Four of their
number were appointed as the committee
(o pay visits to the patients In the hospital
during next week. The trips of the ladies
to the hospital are greatly appreciated by
the men, and they learn to look forward
each day to their coming.

PAYMASTERS’ WORK FINISHED.
Have Distributed $300,000 Among
Lee's Soldier* In Ihe l.o*t Week.
The government paymasters completed
their work of payiuf off the troops of
the Seventh Army Corps here yesterday.
The last regiment paid off was the Fourth
Virginia, by Rlaj. John K. I.ynch. There
was some dissatisfaction among the men
over the fact that they were paid oft by
a colored paymaster, but there was no at
tempt at any demonstration. The Fourth
Virginia is too well disciplined for that.
MaJ. Lynch stated to a Morning News
reporter last night that any report to the
effect that he had been discourteously
treated by any of the officers or members
of the Fourth Virginia for any cause was
untrue.
”1 received nothlhg hut courtesy and
respectful treatment from the hands of
everybody, from Ihe colonel down. I was
never more courteously treated by any
regiment.”
Maj. Lynch said that during his several
months’ service as paymaster he hud paid
off a number of Southern regiments,
and on but one occasion only
had he had any trouble. This was with
the officers of the First Texas Regiment at
Jacksonville, but it amounted to nothing
seasons, he said.
“In fact, the majority of regiments
which have been j>ald off by me were
Southern regiments,’,’ said Maj. Lynch.
It is a fact worthy of note that while
two of the three paymasters, who have
Just completed paying off Lee’s corps, are
colored men, and the majority of the
troops are from Southern states there has
been no outbreak or demon
stration of hostility of any
kind against the paymasters on account
of their color. The Southern troops would
undoubtedly have preferred to have been
paid off by men of their own color, but
both officers and men recognize the logic
of the situation, and yielded to it as grace
fully as possible. The main thing with
the boys is to get their money and senti
ment has to take h back seat.
The three paymasters together distrib
uted to the troops in Savannah in the last
few days in the neighborhood of $300,000,
a large part of which has already gone
into circulation. The soldiers are good
distributors, and while a good deal of the
money is being sent away, it is safe to
say that two-thirds, at least, will be spent
right here in Savannah. If the Seventh
Corps remains here long enough most of
the saloon and restuuranl men will be
able to retire from business independently
rich. The hotels have a good thing of it
an* so have the liverymen. Vehicles are
at a premium now, and have to be en
gaged In advance. Other lines of trade
are feeling the stimulus of so much ready
cash turned loose in the community.
Maj. George R. Smith, paymaster, and
Maj. Logan left last night for Atlanta.
Maj. Smith will go to Huntsville. Ala., in
a day or two to attend to paying troops
there. He will leave for Cuba within a
short time, and will be made chief pay
master in the Island.
THE KING’S DAUGHTERS’ TENT.
Will Re an Attraction of Court
House Square.
The ladies of the union of the Savan
nah circles of King’s Daughters have thelt
tent up in Court House square and are
ready to serve lunches and refreshments
to soldiers and civilians. Their work will
begin this morning at 9 o’clock, every
thing now being in readiness for it.
The ladies are indebted to Maj. Harrison
of the Fourth Illinois for the tent. He
has given them the use of it and fur
nished a detail of men to put it up yes
terday afternoon. Ills kindness will ex
tend even further, and a guard be es
tablished every night at the tent for the
protection of whatever property may he
left within it. Four or more of the ladles
will themselves be present from 9 o'clock
every morning until some hour during the
evening. They have decided to divide the
ladies who have shown an active interest
in the work into parties of four. One
party will have charge of the tent and
the preparation and sale of the refresh
ments during the forenoon and another
during the afternoon. Each lady’s turn
of duty will thus come about every four
or five days.
In addition to furnishing the tent and
guard Maj. Harrison has also promised
the ladies that he will have the Fourth
Illinois Band play in the square near their
tent on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri
days. The music will be tho means of
drawing a great many people, and the
ladies are confident that they will be able
to clear a good deal of money. Every
thing made will be devoted to the conduct
of the day nursery that has been sup
ported and managed by the King’s Daugh
ters for more than a year.
SOCIETY OF HU ES AND GRAYS.
Its Organizer, Capt. Rlonm, Ordered
to the Seventh Corps.
The members of Ihe Chatham Artillery,
Light Battery B, Georgia Artillery, will
be glad to know that Capt. J. E. Bloom,
assistant adjutant general of the light ar
tillery brigade at Chickamauga, when the
battery was there, has been ordered to
Savannah, and is now the assistant adju
tant general of the Second Brigade, First
Division of the Seventh Corps.
Capt. Bloom Is a well known lawyer of
New York city. He has recently been act
ing as Judge advocate of the Third Corps,
at Anniston, Ala., and also as assistant
adjutant general Second Division, Fourth
Corps. He is a graduate of West Point,
and served over six years in the Fourth
United States Artillery, participating in
the Sioux campaign of 1876 and the Nez
Perce campaign of 1877. At the outbreak
of this war he organized the First Regi
ment of Volunteers In New York city,
comprising over 1,300 men, Including over
500 German veterans. The regiment was
known as “The Blues and Grays.” Its
service, however, could not be accepted,
as the law required that preference must
be given to the naiional guard.
Capt. Bloom thereupon tendered his serv
ices Individually to the war department,
and received his present appointment, and
most of hls men enlisted in various New
York volunteer organizations. Before dis
banding, the men of the regiment organ
ized the “Society of Blues and Grays,"
which has been gradually spreading
through various camp*.
First Texas Hand Concert.
The band of the First Texas Regiment
gave a most lively and entertaining con
cert at the De Soto last night. The Tex
ans turned out some good music, and al
ternated Sousa’s marches with national
airs, a'nd other interesting selections. They
kept the music up for quite a while, and
demonstrated that a brass band from Tex
as is a lively sort of an affair.
