XUEU MEN IN AN EFFORT TO RUM
OUT THE MIDDLE MEN
The timber men of this section,
says a Dublin correspondent of the
Macon Telegraph, are forming an
association for the purpose of ship
ping their timber direct to England
and New York. They are sending
an agent to England, and will also
have one located at Darien. They
claim that the timber is now so
far from the water that the prices
given at Darien do not pay them-.
They also complain of the measure
ment they get. and say they must
do away with the middle man.
There is a live Northern man at
the head of this move. Many of
the timber men of this section are
shipping their timber by rail to
Savannah and New York who
have heretofore rafted to Darien.
They say they get good prices
One Savannah house has a man
here buying all the timber he can
get delivered on the railroad, and
paying Darien prices, thus saving
the timberman tbe trouble of raft
ing and the expense of freight.
Darien will have to do better - or
she will get left in the timber-trade.
One timberman said to this cor
respondent that he had carried. a
raft oi timber to Darien and did
not get enough for it to pay for
the hauling. He said the prices
are good enough, but the measur
ing is declared ruinous. There
are more men engaged in the tim
ber business this .vear that usual.
The timber men say their associa-
ions will take in the timber, men
along the Oconee, the Ocmulgee
and part of the Altamaha rivers.
