Albany, Ga., Nov. 27—For the
purpose of bringing about a bett
er understanding among interes s
which have {Hitherto operated
independently, and with the im
mediate object in view of curtail
ing production of turpentine and
rosin . in. Southwest Georgia,
about thirty of the most prom
inent turpentine bperators of this
section met in Albany yesterday
afternoon and formed a prelimin
ary organization, the offects of
which promise to be farreacliing.
It is-stated that those in atten
dance or represented by proxy
at yestesday’s meeting and in
sympathy with its purposes
completely dominate the turpen
tine business in Southwest Geor
gia.
It is stated that not a man in
this section of Georgia, who is en
gaged in the turpentine business
has made a dollar this year but
that on the contrary, 95 per cent
of them have lost money. The
agreement reached at yesterdays
meeting amounts to this:
No new boxes will be cut dur
ing the coming season above a
number sufficient to give the
present labor force something
to do, but instead of the laborers
making $2 to $2.50 a day they
will make only 50 or 75 cents.
The operotors will work the
crops already cut, and get along
as best they can until conditions
improve, whenever that may be.
It is probable that an attempt
be made to have operators
hrWhgrcjtaru-; of this State: and
TTlrr o-'
meat to curtail the production of
turpentine and rosin.
The Sun will contain several
Christmas advertisements next
week. Read them every one and
learn where to buy the best
Christmas goods.

| Binding Farmers
; to Sell Cotton.
Houston, Tex., November 28.
The statement is made on good
authority that the merchants of
Texas are having new contracts
printed for next year, requiring
cotton farmers who will ask for
credit to pledge themselves to
sell tne crop of 1908 as soon as
picked. This is regarded as a
movement on the part of the
merchants to protect themselves
against the holding proposition
of next year.
You will alw. ys get the best
prices for chickens eggs and all
kinds of country produce in.cash
or trade at J.O. Mullis.
