the largest naval stores market OF the world,

The introduction OF naval stores into sa-
vannah furnishes steady ana remuneratlve
employment TO large number OF labOrers the
entire season.
Before the introduction of this important
industry these laborers were compelled to
seek employment for the summer months in
Northern Cities or failing in this, to return to
their homes to pass the time in idleness. Also
our streets have no longer that Sunday-like
appearance during the summer months, but
are lively with numerous teams Transporting
rosin and spirits to the various steamship
lines for shipment to Northern and European
ports.
AS the natural outgrOWth Of the introduce
ton OF naval stores in our CITY, there have
been two copper factories for making turpen-
ing the year these copper factories have turned
out from their works 40 stills at a value of
$4,000, giving employment to 80 hands
The barrel factory mas Deen only recently
hands are being adapted to the work. The
present outturn is 200 barrels per day, aud
gives promise to be increased to large proper
lions.
The grain elevator, with capacity of 2jO,-
600 bushels, was put in operation last spring,
when the steamship ''Mareca," the first yes
sci carrying grain from this port, was loaded
direct Tor lAVerpOOl.
This pioneer movement comprised 100000
bushels. Whenever the crops of grain IN the
section OF country tributary to this port are
abundant, larger movement viii be done IN
