BOX CUTTING SEASON OPENS.

Hold Down the Cat—Operators
Coming to Town to See Their Fac
tors.
To-day the box-culling season begin* In
Georgia. From. Nov. 15 to March 15 naval
stores operators are permitted by law to
box the trees from which the products of
their farms are drawn. The law is well
enforced, and whatever violations there
may be are of slight consequence. Nature
helps to make the law effective to some
extent, as operator* have found by expe
rience that there is amp's? time to cut
all the boxes they may need after this date
and the tree Is in better shape from the
waiting until cool weaiher. As Is prob
ably well known, Georgia is the only state
which ha* legislated on the subject. In
the Carolina*, Florida, Alabama, NlisslsX
slppi and Louisiana boxes can be cut ai
the operator's will. Some box cutting lias
been done In Florida already, It Is stated,
on new places, but operators with old
farms have been too busy on other work
to begin new operations. The warmer
weather in that stale, 100, causing a later
flow of sap, induces a deferring of t>ox
cutting until well Into November as a
rule.
For the past few days operators have
been coming to Savannah from all parte
of the district shipping naval stores here.
Factors are now beginning Iheir busiest
season, that of consultation with lb ir
customers lookmg to a settling up of this
year's business and arranging for the
work for the coming crop. Asa rule the
factors seem inclined to favor a good
cleaning up of the present
crop before operations are begun exten
sively on the new one. They desire io see
how the accounts stand before preparing
for advances for another season. This
tendency on their part, coupled with the
desire many operators have for a reduce )
cut, will probably tend to make a late
start at box cutting. For the next month
there will be a succession of visitors to
the factorage houses and it will hardly be
possible before the end of that time for
any one, no matter how well informed,
to decide what the cut generally will be.
The tendency, though, to restrict advances
somewhat, to let unsatisfactory custom
ers close up accounts for good, and the be
lief among conservative operators that a
reduction in production is necessary, will
all tend to limit the cut to reasonable pro
portions. The fact that there is a great
quantity of fine rosins stacked up In the
country, held back because of the unrv
munerative prices which have ruled thi
entire season, will also have its effect-
By curtailing the cut of virgin boxes this
winter the production of fine rosins next
season will be diminished proportionaiely
and better prices probably secured for
not only the new crop, but for all the
pales carried over in the woods.
The present season has so far been un
satisfactory In iis financial results. Some
producers have made a UttlS money, It is
said, many by the most careful manage
ment will about come out even, and stil
others have run behind. Rosins, taking
the whole line, have been at the lowest
level in years. Recently there hhs been
a better feeling in the market for them,
but without any improvement of note
in ptices, a small advance
on pales not having the effect of draw
ing in much and counting but little on
general results. Spirits of turpentine, it
Is true, has improved greatly in the past
*lx weeks, the quotations ranging higher,
on the whole, than In some years past
at this time, but while this will help ma
terially it will not, it Is claimed, suffice
to overcome the disastrous effects of low
values throughout the season for rosin,
the production of which is about 3Vi bar
rels to one cask of spirits. The great bulk
of the spirit crop, too, was marketed be
fore the high values et In. Hardly more
than 30 per cent, of the splrlis made Is
marketed in the last six months of the
year, Oct. 1 to March 31. From the
present date to the end of the naval
stores year there remains to be marketed
but about 19 per cent, of the spirits crop
and about 32 per cent, of the rosin crop.
The probability of the season being con-
A’erted Into one of satisfactory profits is
accordingly not regarded as good. While
high prices are expected for turpentine
from now on the same was true of last
season, spirits never going below 30 cents
after the middle of November then. Yel
with better values for all rosins through
out that year than this, factors without
exception declared it a poor season at the
close, and producers joint and in their state
ment. Almost every grade of rosin is
now 20 to 60 cents a barrel lower than at
this time last year, and-at various times
the difference in values has been more
striking and extended to every grade. The
following table will give an idea of the
burden of low prices operators have strug
gled under. It is for rosin on Nov. 14, per
210 pounds:
1898 1897 1896 1895
W W 32 70 $2 70 $2 60 S3 25
W. G 2 25 2 30 2 30 3 00
N 1 80 2 06 2 10 2 60

E 1 00@1 05 1 15 1 50 1 40
AD 100 1 10 1 50 1 23
The bulk of the receipts now are M and
below. Comparison of the quotations at
present for those grades with the prices
paid for them two and three years ago
shows the loss that has come through de
preciation of values. Roughly speaking,
doubling Ihe quotations will give ihe value
of a barrel of rosin. Compared with two
years ago, values of rosin are now 60
cents to SI.OO lower on the
grades now being marketed. And this has
been largely true of the entire season. With
receipts at Savannah exceeding 1,100,060
barrels of rosin a season some idea cun
be had of the -total money loss Involved by
the lower price* that have ruled.
The demand for spirits this year has
been phenomenal; that for rosins has been
remarkably steady. When tilts and the poor
results financially to producers are con
sidered, it is not a difficult matter to ap
preciate what the result of another great
cut of virgin boxes, following that of last
winter, would be on prices next season. It
Is this which may discourage operators in
Iheir new work and induce them to adopt
an extremely conservative policy with the
hope of putting the industry on a better
paying basis in 1899-1960.

EXPRESS FOR THE SOLDIERS.
Seventh Corps 51e* Receive and
Semi Ninny Package*.
The Southern Express Company Is hand
ling a groat deal of business for the sol
diers. Many packages and boxes are re
ceived for them every day, and they send
away quite a gc si many themselves.
Down in the South the soldiers find a
great many things they know would in
terest the folks at home, and they make
it a point to send some of them back.
All sorts of curios, or things that in other
sections would be curious, are bought as
they are found. The handsome palms
-eem to have struck the fancy of many
of the soldiers as graceful beauties that
would delight the heart of sisters or moth
ers at home, and many of them have been
shipped.
Far more freight is received for the sol
diers than they ship away. Some money
is received by express and some Is sent
away, not a few of the soldiers prefer
;ng the company as its carrier for their
pay. The packages and boxes that are re
ceived Come from home filled with good
things, and their arrival is always wel
eomed,
A special effort is made by the express
company to have the men receive their
boxes as soon as possible after their ar
rival. Agent Cooper has the express for
the soldiers separated from the general
mass of packages and lioxes of all descrip
tions. It Is taken to the office, and within
an hour from the time of its arrival pos
tal cards have been written and mailed to
the addresses on the boxes.
No delivery to the camps Is made by
the company. The men have to come in
for iheir express. Sometimes there is a
little difficulty about the address, though
there should not be, as agents all over
the country are instructed not to receive
packages for soldiers unless they have
ihe address clearly written. The regi
ment and company must be given in every
instance to insure delivery.
When a package with an imperfect ad
dress is received the trouble extends to
the postofflee employes, for the postals
that are sent out by the. express office
have the addresses as they apiiear on the
packages. If the postofflee- people cannot
find the soldiers for whom the postals are
intended the latter get no Intimation of
there being packages in the express office
for them unless they hear from those by
whom they are sent.
Agent Cooper expects his usually large
Thanksgiving business to be supplemented
this year on account of the soldiers being
tv-re. Loving relatives and friends will
hardly fail to send many a box of good
things to their soldier boys at Thanksgiv
ing,

MONEY IN tI'LAND RICE.
i A Good Crop for Farmers to Substi
tute far Cotton.
“Why don’t the farmers of South Geor
gia take up the growing of upland rice?"
said a prominent business man to a Morn
ing News reporter yesterday. "With cot
ton at the present low prices and little
prospect of Improvement it is certainly
time that the farmers set about hitting
upon some now crop which ia likely to
prove more remunerative.
"Cpland rice,” the business man said,
"is a crop which should prove profitable
to the farmers in this section. It was
formerly raised in large quaniities in the
vicinity of Savannah. The price dropped
so low some years ago, however, that the
furmera gave up planting rice almost en
tirely, This Is where they were mistaken
as prices have ruled much better since,
and they would have found rice a much
more profitable crop than cotton. This up
land rice brings 70 cents to a dollar a
bushel, according to quality, and is in
good demand. As from twenty to thirty
btishels per acre can be produced there is
good money in it for the farmers. This is
a good deal more than they can make per
acre from cotton and as the cost of pro
ducing the rice is much less than that of
producing cotton the argument is alto
gether in favor of the rice. Many of our
farmers, especially the small farmers in
this section of the state, are in very poor
condition, due to the low prices of cotton
and the damage to the crop by the storms.
Colton from the storm area Is selling as
low as 3’,j cents per pound. Many of these
farmers have no money with which to
pay for picking their cotton and are una
ble to borrow because they are already
heavily In debt. In consequence much
cotton will be left unpicked in the fields.”
"The total amount of upland rice
brought to Savannah this season will not
reach 5,000 bushels,” said another business
man. “When I was in business around
the market several years ago I bought as
high as 75,000 bushels of upland rice in one
year. When the price dropped to 40 to
45 cents the farmers gave up planting rice.
They would have done better to keep their
lands In shape as they would have found
it to pay them better than planting cot
ton. A first class article of upland rice
can be raised in this state. The grain is
a little smaller than the upland rice and
consequently does not bring quite as high
a price. The upland rice can be raised
much cheaper than the lowland, however.
It can be raised as cheaply as wheat or
oats. It Is not necessary to use any fer
lilizer and there Is less labor required than
in raising cotton. There Is always a good
market for this rice and I know of no
crop so well -suited to this section e™- on,-
to which the farmers can turn with th*
least expense to themselves.”
An authority gives some figures on the
consumption of rice throughout the world.
The United States is among the lowest
on the list. The consumption of this
country being only four pounds per capita
per annum, while that of Great Britain is
nine pounds and Italy fourteen pounds.
In Japan the consumption of rice is 300
pounds and In Bombay 547 pounds per
capita per annum.
Outside of the Southern states rice' is
but very little used in this country, being
regarded more as a delicacy in the North
than as a staple of article of food. Even
in the South it Is not used as a daily ar T
tide of food, except along the coast and
in a few of the larger cities. Even with
the small consumption of four pounds per
capita the total annual consumption of
rice in the United States reaches the total
of 300,000,000 pounds annually. Of this a
large part is Imported from Japan. Th©
present tariff Is very favorable to the do
mestice rice growers and there is no rea
son why the production should not be
greatly increased without materially af
fecting the price.
AT THE THEATER.
Pit IdIV III- Melville Cos. In “Tlie Two
Orphans."
The Baldwin-Melville Company opened a
five-days engagement at the theater yes
terday afternoon with a performance of
“The Two Orphans.” At the night per
formance "Bulls and Bears” was given.
There were good houses at both perform
ances, notwithstanding the meanness of
the weather.
The Baldwin-Melville company is one of
the pioneer popular-price companies. It
has been visiting Savannah annually for
a number of years and Is popular in more
things than the price of admission.
The company Is very much the same as
it was last year, with the exception that
its members have profited by the time to
progress in their work. Mr. W. H. Mur
doch, who has played the leading parts
for years. Is as versatile and pleasing as
ever. Miss Edna Lindon, who made such
a good impression last year, is again play
ing the leading female parts. Miss Lindon
is handsome, graceful, and a good ac
tress. Thomas B. Findlay, Bert Clark, L.
O. Hart, Hugh McKaye, James J. Walls,
Wilson Day-, Louise Hamilton and Marie
Day are others in the company.
The vaudeville features which are in
troduced between the acts are attractive
and interesting. Miss Louise Hamilton in
her character songs made a hit and was
twice encored. The descriptive songs by
the Silvers was one of the best specialties
that has been seen here ihis season. The
songs sung are of a sentimental nature
and as the song progresses views descrip
tive of it are thrown upon a canvas*
During the stay of the company the mat
inee performances will begin at 3 o'clock
and the night performances at 8 o’clock.
This afternoon the bill will be "Hazel
Kirke,” and to-night “All the Comforts of
Home.” which is by Wro. Gillette, the
author of "Secret Service.”

INDOOR BALL LEAGUE’S SEASON.
New Leititue Officer* Elected and
Game* Will Begin Dec. S.
At a meeting of the directors of Ihe Sa
vannah Indoor Base Ball League, held last
night at the Young Men’s Christian- Asso
ciation building, new officers were elected
for the ensuing year, as follows:
President—Herbert Kayton.
Secretary—Henry M. Johnson.
Treasurer—Daniel Charlton.
The directors entered enthusiastically
Into their work for the coming season, and
decided that the games should commence
the first Thursday night In December and
that the Young Men’s Christian Associa
tion gymnasium should be the place where
the battles royal should be fought. The
series will be a fifteen game series, the
same as last season. A committee was ap
pointed lo draw up a schedule for the
games, which will be presented at another
meeting of the league, which is to be held
Saturday night. The league will lie com
posed of the same associations as last
year, the Catholic Library Association,
the Young Men s Hebrew Association and
the Y'oung Men s Christian Association.
PROVOST FIRED A PISTOL.
Prisoner Tried lo Escape on tlie Way
to the Guard House.
Some of the provost guards seem rather
careless in the use of their firearms. A
provost arrested a disorderly soldier on the
nether end of Oglethorpe avenue last night
shortly before 11 o'clock, and was taking
him to the provost headquarters.
When the two had about reached Bui!
street, Ihe prisoner broke and ran for aii
he was worth. The provost called on him
lo halt, which the soldier failed to do. The
provost then filed his pistol.
There were several people on the street
in that neighborhood at the time. The pro
vost succeeded in getting the prisoner’s
hat and his pass, so that he will be identi
fied, and charges preferred. The officers
at provost headquarters immediately went
into an investigation of the shooting.
SOT E VITUSIASTIC O Vl', IS HAT AKA.
Tno Snvanimltiiins Size (jl the Btisl
neMM Outlook There.
A business man showed a Morning News
reporter yesterday two letters from
young business men, formerly of Savan
nah, but now located, or attempting to lo
cate, in Havana. The letters do not paint
the most rosy view of the situation,though
the writers are not entirely agreed on this
point.
'The tariff rates are so exorbitantly high
they state that it is almost impossible to
do any business at present. Rents are ex
tremely high and pretty much everything
else necessary for decent living is in pro
portion. Small stores command S3OO to S4OO
a month. There should be a good opening
for boarding house keepers, however, as
one of the writers states that they are pay
ing S6O a month for a room without board.
Savannah boarding house keepers will take
all the lodgers they can get at this price,
and manage to throw in a little feed occa
sionally. Office furniture was so high, the
writer states, they were unable to buy and
so they are renting furniture by the month.
"There is the sickest crowd of Americar.3
here that you ever ran up against,” says
the writer. “It is useless to try and do any
business unless you can stand in with the
customs authorities. Savannah will never
be abie lo do any business with this port
for the reason that there are several mer
chants here that could almost buy out
Bay street One concern here bought at
one time 1,600 tierces of lard and other
commodities in proportion.”
Dr. Brunner is especially mentioned for
many kindnesses and courtesies to the two
ex-Savannahians. There are a lot of Flor
idians in Havana in the cattle business,
the writer slates, which business he says
is going to be quite a big thing. Oxen are
in general use and bring almost any price.
Any kind of team can be seen on the street
from a six-mule. tandem down to an ox
cart. The Americans in Havana are pre
paring to organize a board of trade, and
are also getting up a protest to the United
Slates government against the extension
of the present tariff for sixty days as ask
ed for by the local authorities.
The other letter, which was written a
few day's later, slates that the United
States will take charge on Dec. 1, and a
new tariff put into effect at once. Until
that time the writer states It is useless
for citizens of this country to undertake
to do any business in Havana. He thinks
there are big chances in Havana for men
of push and energy. As an instance of the
opportunities offering he encloses a laun
dry list, showing the extortionate prices
charged, and yet he says there is not a
first-class laundry in Havana. There arc
only two ice factories with a combined
daily output of 120 tons. The price of ice
delivered is S2O per ton. Ice water is sold
in the restaurants at 10 cents per glass.
