too large or too small, and an en

GEOUG1A NAVAL STORKS PEOPLE,.
Savannah is in a very fair way tjo*
lose considerable part of its naval,
stores trade, says an exchange,, as
well as a large proportion of its
Sea Island cotton business. The-
rebellion of the naval stores pro
ducers of Georgia, who recently
organized a mutual protective- as
sociation, which was hooted at by
the middlemen, has amounted to
something it would seeip, from
the reports that come froui that
city.
The naval stores producers wprp
quite frank in stating their gricy=
ances lust fall, and they charged
openly that they had been mercL
lcssly gouged by the middlemen iq
almost every conceivable manner.
They asked for assurances that
they should have fair treatment in
the future but tfleir appeals were
disregarded, and they determined
to make a united effort to save
thetnsclve from what they conceiw
ed to be no less than robbery. They
complained that they had been sys
tematically overcharged for freight
insurance, storage, etc., and in
other respects wronged by unfair
methods, and that the result had
been to transfer about all the
