mot five years ago" he said, dodge
county was but little known as lumber or
turpentine county, and now she furnishes
as mucn as any two counties in the state.
There are between eighteen and twenty
large saw mills in the county, giving EN-
ployment to between 500 and 600 mea, and
the mills turn out on an average from
300 900 to 400, 900 feet of lumber daily
Where does the lumber go"
ITO the north and west. Most Of the
Timber shipped from Dodge county now ,s
shipped to the car companies. They will
be our consumers for months yet"
AFTER the winter months have passed,
building is not so active and we are not so
pressed for lumber. The lumber season,
though, is all time, and at ne time during
the year is the supply greater than the de-
mand."
Mr.. Parker said that the only drawback
to the lumber industry is the excessive
freight rates He hopes that the recent
conferences Of lumber men and rail-
road officials will result in lower
rates. Formerly the price of lumber
was nearly double what it now is, and, not
outstanding the great reduction in price,
there is little, if any. reduction in freight
rates. There are quite as many tsrpentine
stills in Dodge county as there are saw
mills, and thousands Of gallons of spirits
are being shipped daily. Savannah gets a
large portion Of the turpentine, but like the
lumber, the most of 1t finds its way to
northern markets

IT WAS ACCIDENTAL.
Charles Banaud's Fatal Effort to Pre-

CharleS BanaudS Fatal EnOrt to Pre-
vent Fall
Coroner Dixon held an inquest over the
body of the colored man, Charles Banaud,
who was shot and killed on Whitmarsh
island Tuesday afternoon. The verdict was
death from an accidental gunshot wound.
The inquest developed the following facts
Banaud had gone over to the island with
Dasher to kill a beef, and after it was
Frazier and Joe King were standing by a
fence. Frazier had gun loaded with turkey
shot, and was standing by the fence with
the gun resting on one of the rails. Dasher
called to Banaud:
Charlie, come on and help me skin the
beef
Banaud replied, GAN right; I'm coming, ="
and started in the direction of Dasher,
when he tripped his foot on a root of a tree
and fell. In trying to save himself from
falling he caught at the gun, and it was
discharged, the load striking him in the
right breast, below the nipple, and passing.
through his body. King cried out, For
Gods sake, you have killed that man. !"
Dasher fastened to the scene, but Banaud
gasped once ana died.
Frazier was taken TO the guard house at
Thunderbolt, where he was detained all
night, and the body Of Banaud was left in
the marsh until Coroner Dixon went down
yesterday to hold an inquest. The result
justified the discharge Of Frazier. Banaud
was young man of 10 years, and Frazier
is about the same age. The remains were
brought to the city yesterday for interment

The Central Railroad Watch Inspect
ors at Work.
The Central railroad watch inspectors are
busy. Employees are pouring in with their
time-pieces. and some of them require
good deal of tinkering on, and finally
have TO be refused. Out of TWENTY-FIVE
that were inspected yesterday twenty were
refused, and the men had to go out and pur-
chase new watches.
at goes against the grain with some of
the men, said an employee, "but they must
prepare themselves for every emergency.
Watches are part of their equipment, and
they might as well report for duty bare
footed as without timepieces."
Some of the employees had to cast aside
old watches, which were presents to them
in the long ago, and which to part with
was almost like sundering the Friendship of
loved ones.
"The change will be favorable to good
schedules" said a railroad man, ''and after
the men have procured reliable timepieces
it will be almost impossible for them to see
how they managed to get along with the
old ones" The inspection will continue
until about the middle of the month

The Best Time to Buy valuabIes,

This Is the dull season OF the year. This
information is not exclusive or from inspi-
ration. Trade is pretty well as far as it
goes-but it doesn't go far. The purchasing
power of a dollar now is something surpris-
ing, simply because there are more dollars
than trade. In a word, we are now inclined
to give a very large dollars worth for 100
cents just to keep things moving. Within
the past few months we have added to our
stock il various ways, new ideas, new con-
ceits. lew tricks and quips in jewelry, and
so on. We've got to keep up, you know,
with the strides of inventive and artistic
excellence. Our stock is worth looking
over, and, as intimated, we a0H sell very
close to move some of it. This is q good
time to renew household articles. Solid
Silver table ware, superb plated ware,
ornamental goods. For personal use or
adornmspt we offer line par erceLIence &C
Ladies' Gne Gold, Silver and Diamond
Jewelry, Ladies' Watches, Chains and
Charms, Gents Watches ana Jeweiry. etc
All of these articles can be bought cheaper
now than when trade gets brisker. Some
body will get married next fall-buy the
presents you intend to give nolC. They
will keep, and you will save money.

ploy of the Central railroad for the past
four years. Quito ripple Of amusement

dinner. Mr.. G. b. Whatley, ON behalf of
the clerks, stepped forward and in fitting
speech presented him with handsome gold
headed walking cane In token of their
esteem and regard. Although a complete
surprise to him, Mr.. Howard replied in a
few appropriate remarks, thanking his
friends and fellow clerks for their kind con-
sideration and friendly regard.
