TO CUT FEVER PINES.
FORESTS TO BE HACKED LESS By
NAVAL STORES FARMERS.

The Present Year Not a Money-Mak-
High Price of Provisions and Gem
ersl Supplies Kept Their Profits
Down-Next Years Naval Stores
Crop Not So Large as the Present
Drop.
~ The annual meeting OF the stockholders of
the Savannah Naval Stores Company yes
terday brought large number Of naval
stores operators to the city, including many
operators that are not stockholders in the
company. They made their headquarters
at the Screven and a kind of Informal
meeting of the operators Was held in the
parlors yesterday afternoon to discuss the
business outlook in the naval stores line.
The naval stores operators are an indie
pendent and prosperous-looking crowd
Several Of the party registered at the Sore
ven are moderately wealthy, and most OF
them are well to do. In fact, a lod naval
stores operator is usually prosperous. The
operators said that this year has not been q
money making one with them.
THE BIGGEST YIELD KNOWN
The yield was greater than ever, but on
account OF lower prices for the product and
Increased expenses the profits did n OF
nearly equal last year. The chief reason
for the email proGts vas the high prics Of
provisions aud stock feed OF all kinds The
naval stores producers have everything to
buy in the way Of provisions and supplies,
and the rise and fall in the price Of corn
aud meat is Of great interest to them.
On account OF the large crops of grain Of
all kinds in the west this year the naval
stores men are anticipating lower prices for
feed and provisions, and consequently larger
profits the coming year. They do not think
next years crop will be as large as this
years
TO HANDLE SMALLER FARMS.
Their experience this year has taught
them the necessity of retreuchment and a
closer and more careful attention to a
smaller area, rather than to stretch out in
the endeavor to cover everything in sight
They say that though great inroads have
been made upon the pine forests
there are still immense quantities
of pine forests standing and the
crop Of naval stores will continue large for
an indefinite number of years to come.
The increase in value of the pine lands
and the timber privileges and the expense
of going further from the railroads each
year 70 reach the pine forests is having the
effect of compelling the operators to 60
slower in their iuroads upon the pines. An
other thing that will limit the production is
position not to take on new customers, but
to remain satisfied with carrying their old
customers.

A careful investigator of the subject has
figured out the following interesting lex
pense account" which is declared to be "be-
low the actual cost. If anything" 1.-THE
cost of rearing an ordinary boy for the first
twenty years Of his life is here given: Per
year for the first five years, all expenses,
500, or $500 in all; $3.50 per year for the
next 1--WE years, $500 per year for the third
FIVE, $500 per year for the next three years,
and $500 for the next two, or a total Of
81 $50 outlay by the time the boy is Of age
and able to hustle for himself" A Savan-
nah man who has had some experience in
rearing boys, says the estimate is too low.
He has never kept au account. but he thinks
$1,000 boy up to twenty years is min
imum in his family, and he has not been
extravaganza in rearing boys either.
A well raised boy st 5000 he considers
paying investment that can be realized on
any time at full value. The cost Of rearing
girls he knows nothing about.
The reason Savannah does not send a
larger delegation OF its military to Augusta
is not because the men don't want to 90,
but because they can't get away. The ma
jority Of Savannah's military is composed
Of young business men. CLERKS and em-
ployes who find it exceedingly difficult to
leave their business at this season, even for
a day. Savannah expected. when the in
vitation of the exposition COMMITTEES was
accepted, to send not less than $50 men.
The number that will 60 will be consider
ably less. Those who do go, however. will
carry the regrets Of the stay-at-homes.
People in the southern limits OF the city
are clamoring for more paved streets north
and south. A gentleman doing business in
the southeastern part of the CITY
wants one side of East Broad
street paved through to Anderson. The
East Broad street pavement extends now as
far south as Jones street. The Belt Line
runs through the center of the street and if
the city cannot see its way TO paving on
both sides of TIE track, let it pave one side
and carry the paving through to Henderson
street. and then, as soon as the street is
opened, extend it to the southern limits.
The people in the southern section think
the north aud south streets should be looked
after as well as the cross streets.
