FAST n WHS ONEOfTHE BEST Many Believe That It Is The Very Best ROSINS IS SELLING HIGH Receipts ol Rosins and Spirits Have Both Picked np Consider* ably. Boxes Hall Full Are Be ing Dipped, Because Dealers Believe That There Will he a Great Drop In Prices. Savannah, April 1.—The naval stores year for the season of 1910-11 which ended yesterday, went out with spirits of turpentine a little dull but with the rosin situation very strong and the demand for the product greater than the supply Rosins are continuing their upward tendency and the price of spirits is only temporarily, put back is the be lief. There were about 400 casks which were carried over from yester day, but it is not believed these will be on the market a great while.There were no sales on the laBt day of the season, however. One ol the Best The season just gone was one of the best, if not the best, in the his tory of the naval stores business in Savannah. The market started off last April at 60 cents a gallon and with the demand firm, and there was not a time that it went below 55 cents. In June there wa3 quoted a, price of 55 1-2 cents. This was in the height of the season and the price did not remain that low for any length of time. Rosins continue to boom. The lowest grade was sold yesterday at the final call at $8.10 a barrel. This was a new' high record price for this grade. Demand is still very strong Water white rosins are selling at $8;75 1-2, so it is seen that the low- • cst grade’ is worth almost as much as the highest. Receipts Have Picked Up The receipts of both rosins and spirits have picked up a little this week and they are expected to con tinue brisk for sometime. The rush toward the latter end of March is, however, believed to be at the ex pense of April. It is believed that the receipts for the month begin ning today will be • light compared to those of the same month a year ago. This is because the producers are straining every nerve to get every gallon of spirits to the port that can be put here at the present high prices. Boxes half full are be ing dipped, and other devices adopted to make the receipts as lieaw as possible. This is because the producers are anticipating a drop in prices and it is not likely that they * will be disappointed. The April receipts will not be as heavy proportionately as were those for March. The Georgia belt had a good rain last w 8 ek and this helped some, but there has not been much rain Florida. Labor is demanding the highest prices now and next month it will be scarcer and higher because of the cotton crop. Negroes can make more chopping cotton than working in naval stores, GROWS ILFIfF IN WARE COUNTY well with it that he is clearing a large tract adjoining his farm to eultivati- vate alfalfa extensively. Tt has been contended for a long time that alfalfa could be grown in South Georgia, although experi ments in some coastal counties have rather discouraged its planting. In .this section several farmers have grown it on a small scale before; The new settlers investigated alfalfa and did not see why it could not be cultivated in Ware. Like the set- ler who came here from North Georgia four years ago and planted thousands of peach trees, the alfalfa enthusiasts have been discouraged by a few. It is predicted that their success will excel that of the peach growers in Ware. Mr, Macey is located in a colony of settlers locating in Wui/e from several Western and Eastern states. In his immediate neighbor hood five states are represented. Some of those with him are S. E. Couch, J. E. Weaver, D. E. Mudge and l,. C. Hoalk. Western Settler Does It.

E Macey, of a Middle Western state has alfalfa‘growing, and is doing so Five Men In the Race For the Senate From Georgia—Dope From Atlanta Uncertain As to Final Result. With Smith a Strong Favorite. Atlanta, Ga., April 3.—The sena torial situation is still a subject of general discussion. If the legisla ture were to meet this week there would be five men whose names would be presented for the United States Senate. They are senator Terrell, Judge Covington, Congress man Hardwick, Hon. Murphy Can dler and Hon. Pleasant A. Stovall. While Senator Terrell is still far from well, his condition has im proved so greatly since his first stroke of paralysis that there is just cause for encouragement about his recovery. He is able to walk around the house now with the aid of a stick and has partially recovered the use of his arm. He is expect ing to leave for Washington in a week and while he cannot hope to .take any active part in senatorial work in the near future, if he is able to stand the strain of returning to Washington and attending the sessions of the Senate he will cer tainly be a candidate. Judge Covington is actively in the race. His friends claim for him a good local support in Southwest Georgia;- and from different parts of the Sta'e, coming from what have been termed “Brown” men, Congressman Hardwick is prac tically in the race for _the Senate. He has made a fine record as Con gressman and is one of the young leaders of the new House, Hon. Murphy Candler, while not an announced candidate for the Sen ate, has many admirers in the leg islature as any one who has been suggested for the position, He will certainly be supporting unless he should formally decline and his strength should not be doubted. Hon. Pleasant A, Stovall, editor of the Savannah Press, is in the race. Seldom has the name of any one for so high an office received so m iny endorsements. While he has not announced as a candidate, a systematic canvas, especially of Southeast Georgia, is being made by his friends in his interest. Those close to him believe he will certainly be a candidate. These five names seem to be those which will be submitted to the Leg islature. It is probable that Senator Ter rell, if his health continues to im prove, will receive the support of the majority of what are known as the “conservatives,” and also the support of a few of the “progres sives” among the members of the legislature. Nearly all of the * ‘pro gressives” and quite a number of the “conservatives” will decide be tween Messrs. C o .ington, Hardwick, Candler and Stovall, with the chances in favor of a consolidation upon one of these four men. The next thirty days may show a strong drift to one of the four. A careful count of the legislature shows a majority of between 40 and 50 of What has been termed “pro gressive” Democrats.’ It seems equally sure that these distinctions will be strictly followed in the elec tion of a Senator Two things might change the sit uation. The condition of Senator Terre'l’s health may still eliminate him, but he is-improving and it is hoped by his friends that the im provement will continue. The pre- senation of the name of Governor- Elect Hoke Smith for the Senate might become a factor, but ho is not a candidate and there is no in dication that he will be a candidate. He is giving his attention to work that is to be accomplished by the coming legislature. A number of men have been seen who have talked with Governor- Elect Smith. While it cannot be learned that he has said he would decline an election, he certainly has not encouraged his friends to pre sent his name,however,is constantly mentioned and many persons have expressed a desire to see him rep resent Georgia at Washington. It is impossible to tell what may happen, but this is the present sit uation. | DEPOSITS.
