This trade has attained large pro

pine lumber .from onr port exceed
those of any other port.on the south

£t js with great satiefaotion' that we
review this branch of onr trade for
of it ft few years ago, but we are con
fident that with superior advantages
fW'SPft -,asv a naval
stores depot the receipts will in
crease from year to year till instead,of
ports, it will show its importance by
outstripping manyrof its rivals and
place itself in line with the heavy re-
Atlantic coast. At present there iB a ceiving,markets,
lull in the business, and prices are In July 1876 the first train load of
considerably off, owing to various rosin and spirits turpentine wah re-
causes, which will no doubt resnlt in
a healthy re-aotion within the next
three months, placing the business
on a firmer business than ever before.
The foreign demand for mannfao-
tured yellow pine is increasing annu
ally, and, while such is the case, the
home uiarsets most: be benefitted
thereby. A few years ego it was an
unusual thing to note a shipment of
sawed yellow pine timber or lumber
to a United-Kingdoo* port, nil ship
ments being id the hewn form. Now
a very large proportion of the ship
ments to ports in that country is par
tially or wholly manufactured. The
Brunswick Ac Albany and the Macon
& Brunswick Division of the East
Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia Bail-
roads bring large quantities of lum
ber to • Brunswick. On the former
roads there are fifteen mills, with a
daily capacity of about 300,000 feet,
sending almost their entire produc
tion through this port. On the Ma
con & Brunswick Division there ore
eight mills, with a daily capacity of
• about 130,000 feet shipping their pro
duct through Brunswick, while others
divide their shipments between
Brunswick and Savannah. j
While the sapplv of timber is far
from inexhaustible there is still a
large area of yellow , pine forest
through the pine belt of Georgia,
that is almost untouobed by the ax
of the timber cotter and will supply
the demand of the lumber manufac
tures for years, although the increaa
ed expense attending the handling of
the timber on tram roads extended
for long distances into the woods .will
enhance the value of the lumber pro
duction and it is to be hoped tend to
briDg about a more economical syS'
tem of manufacture, so that tbo con
tents of the logs may be used in some
way to yield nu income to the manu
facturer. At present the term “timber
batchers” can with propriety be ap
plied to many of the so-called manu
facturers who send fifty per cent
the logs to the slab-pit.
Brunswick must from her favorable
situation receive a very large propor
tion of the lumber for shipment in
the future and such shipment will no
doubt increase in as great if not great
er ratio than they have in the past
few years. A glance at the following
table will show the increase.

ceived from the line of B. & A. B. B,
and was such a novelty that a large
crowd gathered at depot, some being
impelled by cariosity at sight of snch
an unknown artiste of oommeroe,
while others were likely only there to
gratify their craving for a good chew
of rosin. The entire lot was forward
ed by steamer through to New York.
Bis now a common occurrence to
witness daily arrivals from line of
both railroads and frequently two and
three entire trains are loaded down
with it. Instead of all receipts being 1
sent immediate to other coastwise
ports there is nlway a snplns of
stock on hnnd and the shipments to
foreign ports far exceed the coast
wise.
By reference to the adjoined state
ment, it will be seen that there has
a steady increase in the naval store
business every year. These figures
speak volumes, and just here we wish
to say that to Mr. J. D. Sprout (now
of London) and to Mr. A. V. Wood,
bis successor, and also Messrs. Chess-
Carley Co., we are indebted for this
vast increase in this business.
Whilst onr port is last on the list
of naval store ports as published in
the annual reports, still it is gratify
ing to observe that the ratio of in
crease is more marked than the oth
ers, to-wit:
Savannah—Spirits turpentine, 41
per cent; rosin, 10 per cent.
Brunswick—Spirits turpentine, 65
per cent; rosin, 34 per cent.

The senior or head of this firm,
whoso card will be found elsewhere
in this issue, Mr. D. C. Bacon, is no
doubt one of the clearest-beaded bus
iness men of the State. Although
left, ns hnndreds of others nttbe close
of the late war, with “nanght but self’
to work out his future, he has carved
a record in the financial and business
world of which none would be
ashamed. - He stands to-day the peer
in business of any man of his age.—
The firm of D. C. Bacon & Co. do an
immense lumber and naval store bus
iness, shipping from this port alone
over fifteen million feet of lumber.
They own several mills, and are in
terested in scores of others, besides
handling all the lumber out by num
bers of mills scattered along the dif
ferent railroads and watercourses of
the State. This firm has increased
very materially their business from
this port in the last year or two, and
wo look for greater increase os the
years roll on.
