Wh it opportunities does Georgia of fer for more than 100 men, who have various amounts from $5,000 to SIO,OOO to invest? ‘‘What can a man do there with about $20o?” asks a farmer of an other section, who wants to move to Georgia. “What have you in the south for a >oung man of 21, just from Prince ten Lniversity, willing to put his hand to, anything, and prefers a position at the bottom with a top to it? 1 feel that this is the dabs of Americans you need in the south, manly and weil educated.

Nothing of unusual importance I icame up for action anil only routine matters were disposed of. Met Yesterday.

OPERATORS BEGIN IRE BON CUTTING f Indications for an Increas ed Product Not So Good INDUSTRIAL RECORD TALKS The Well Known Trade Journal De clares That the Situation at Pres ent is Not at All Encourag ing in This Section. i What is known to be the “box cut king seas an" in the turpentine in dustry has begun, and the indications are that many operators are preparing ;or greatly extending their operations and mateiially increasing next year's output. The indications for an increased production, have alarmed the more conservative element of naval stores men, in fact, and the Weekly indus trial Record, of Jacksonville, which is an authority on na\ul stores mat ters, declares, editoiria y, that the sit uation at this particu r time, is any thing but satisfaction In a leading editorial tbe Record says; "In the last issue he Record ad vised all turpentine operators to go slow in box cutting, ■■ the indicatii is were that there woul; oe a great many more boxes cut tha could possibly be worked, and tha market con li tions could not be favorably niainta li ed unions the operators should use conservatism along this line. Since that time we have hail letters from a number of operators stating they would not cut more boxes than they did last year, and two operators stated they would noit cut any new boxes whatever. depending upon their o)ii boxes fdr their 1903-4 output. This Is encouraging news. We have had in foration, however, cm the other hand from a number oof sources, that other operators are preparing to cut more extensively than ever before, and the Indications, even now, at this writ ing, are that unless the producers make a determined effort to keep the box cutting down, the situation will not be an encouraging one the cora ig season. “The Record made the point that i! was more profitable to hold the round Limber than to box it. In eonfirma t.on of this argument one operator In M trion county, Fla., writes us that round timber bought by him three years ago, in which an ax had not been struck, has profited him moire by the enhancement of values than other round timber purchased at the tame time that he turpentined. This Is not only the experience of one man, hut of hundreds, and tbe fact is that the ratio of enhancement is in creasing sill the time. This argument (works t>vo ways; If you will hold your round timber without working ;il you will make more by its in creased valuation; if you hold your box cutting down and work well your old boxes, the market for turpentine will he sustained, you will get more for yoer product, and will be In better he WOrC‘Tdition generally. ’ ' general, is a matter that, js worthy of the moist serious consid eration by every operator. There is no sentiment about it. It is a plain business proposition. It is a question of getting all there is out of a place, of doing well what we do. and get ting pa.d fo-r it on a reasonable and equitab e basis”. Trustee Sale Yesterday. ; J S. Franklin, as trustee for Malt 1 White, yesterday sold at public out ; cry a lot: of land belonging to "ac iat <er, which was purchased by Lottie | Mayer, the purchase price being s2js. is in San Francisco.

THE CRIBB CASE UP AGAIN. Now Being Heard by the Board of Pardons in Atlanta. Atlanta. December I.—The hoard of pardons had up for consideration to day an application for clemency for Lee Cribb, of Coffee county, whoi is under sentence to hang December 11 for the murder of Emmett White, a small white hoy t 2 years of age. Cribb is a young white man and front the papers filed in the case, was crazy drunk and under the influence of some kind of drug on the day ot fhe homicide. While in this condit ion, it is said, he entered a store with a pistol in his hand and announced that He'proposed to, clean out the en tire town before he left it .He fired one shot at a man in the store, who dodged first under the counter and then beat a hasty retreat out of a side door and took to the woods. Cribb then turned hts gun on Marshal Hol ton. who, it appears, is related to Cribb. After firing two shots into Holton and while aiming for a third one, some friend of Holton shot Cribb and he fell. Later Cribb got up and. going into the street, shot Emmett White, a small boy who was driving a wagon by the store, killing him almost in stantly. It is claimed that Cribb was drunk, blit lie denies having drank anything but a bottle or two of a beverage known as "ale” sold at tbe stores in Nichoills and said not to ho intoxfcat ing in its effect. Among the records filed in the ease were letters stating that is was be lieved that Cribb waft insane, as in sanity ran in his family, while in other letters It was stated that there was nothing the matter with Cribb except that he was a cold-blooded murderer and should he hung at once. Then there were petitions and conn ter petitions, the former asking that the death sentence passed upon he commuted to life imprisonment, and the latter praying the commission not to allow Cribb’s neck to escape from the galiows. The petitioner was represented by Leon A. Wilson, of Waycross, and Quincey & McDonald, of Douglas, while the interests ot the state were looked after by Solicitor General J W Bennett. “JUST RUN ACROSS” Some People are Lucky. Some people make an intelligent study of food and get on the right, track (pure food) others are lucky enough to stumble upon the right way out of the difficulty just as a i’nila. young woman did. She ays: “I had suffered terribly from nervous indigestion, everything seemed to disagree with me and 1 was om the point of starvation when one day T happened to run across a demon stration ol l’ostum Food Coffee at on of the big stores here. • I took a sample home and a sample of Grape Nuts as well and there tried them again and found they agreed with me perfectly.

I COP® IS 1 II MONTANA Fixtra Session ot the leg islature was Convened Yesterday \ STUBBORN FlGill AHEAD Fight Between Clark and Daly a Few .. Years Ago for the Senate Will Be Nothing Compared with the One Now in View. Helena. Mont. December I.—'The ex traordinary session of the Montana legislature, which convened today, in pursuance of the call issued three weeks ago by Governor Toole, is likely to be the arena for a gladiatorial com bSt as fierce as and an intensely in teresting as tile session of several years ago which witnessed (lie titanic struggle between Copper King Will- Jam A. Clark and Marcus Daly for a seat in the United bt at os senate. In the present instance the results are far more momentous than the case of the struggle for the seuatorship. The future welfare and prosperity of one entire and portions of three oth er states may l.e raid to depend upon the action of the session. Arrayed aginst one another it the gigantic iijlit. is k. Ae .ustiis llcinxe. of Mont ana Ore Purchasing Company, backed by the independent cupper men of three slates, and lb. Standard Oil Cos. as represented by tliu Amalgamated Copper Company. The aim of the session is to pap,'; bill whereby mining cases may he taken from one court to another when the judge in the initial court is shown to be prejudiced. Other legislation of like character has also been prom ised. A so-called fair trial hill, of the character now proposed, was passed by the last legislature, but was de rided by the supreme court to he un constitutional on technical grounds. The present situation is due to a coup executed by F. Augustus Heinze, president of the United Copper Com pany and the arch enemy of ibe Amal gamated interests. One of his lieu tenants, a young man named John MacGinnis. was the owner of a few shares of the Boston and Montana Copper Company. He secured a de cision from District Judge Clancy, restraining the Boston and Montana company from paying dividends to the Amalgamated, on the ground that it is contrary to the laws of Montana for one corporation tc. own stock in an otilior corporation. Furthermore, on application, he secured a decision from Judge Clan/ in which the latter said he might at any time appoint a receiver for the Custom and Montana. By these decisions the Amalgamated was badly hampered, and. the fair trial bill being nullified by the su preme court, it could no! secure tho ■transfer of the matter to a neither court.
