NAVAL STORES MEN HAPPY.
The Coming Season Promises to be a
Prosperous One.

The Outlook for a Decrease of 10 Per
Cent. in the Crop Compared With
Last Seasonal Shortage Of 40 to so
Per Cent. in New Boxes Cut-The
Season Likely to be a Late One-The
Market Outlook.
Mali. B. Withers, one of the best
known naval stores men on the bay. has
just returned from a general inspecting
tour through the turpentine district, and
has gathered some interesting informa-
ton from his observations.
Il am confident" said he, yesterday,
chat the crop this year will show a de-
crease of fully 10 per cent, if not moro,
over that of last season. All through the
section where have been there is a short
age of 40 to so per cent. in the cutting,
and more old boxes are being worked than
was the case last year.
''The low prices which have prevailed
lately have caused more old boxes to be
clipped early in the season, and this will
naturally bring about a decrease in the
product. Then, too, the season will be
late one, which will be another tendency
toward a decrease. Altogether, the out
look is very talr one, ana / JnlnK Une
ultimate outcome of this decrease in the
product will bring about material in
crease in prices.
The figures for thepast month, reported
yesterday, show a decided increase in the
stock on hand this year over that of last.
The stock on hand yesterday was 1878
casks of spirits and Il $50 barrels of rosin.
Figures for the same date last year show
a stock of 8,64l casks of spirits and 40, 12l
barrels of rosin. Shipments show pro
portionate decrease, being 9,028
casks of spirits and 1878 barrels
of rosin for April 1893, and
%. 1874 casks of spirits and 1884 barrels
of rosin for the same month of 1892. The
receipts show large decrease, being 20,
373 casks of spirits and 81, 400 barrels of
rosin for 1893against 81 1888 casks of spirits
and g. 631 barrels of rosin in 1892.

tine tanks has been submitted to Mr..

tons in all the public schools. The usual
programme of rccitations will be carried
out during the week, however, with few
variations, but they will be so conducted
as to give visitors some idea of the work

nations will be the singing by the children

learned from the notes, and not by rote as
many suppose, Many of the songs are
two part songs and are sung in two parts
by the children. Mr. W. N. Smith, who
has been in charge of the music in the
public schools for the past six months,
will give a review of the musical work as
done in the schools at Hunter hall, in the
Chatham Academy building on Friday
afternoon at 4;30 o'clock. In addition to
his work, songs will be sung by the chill
dren Of six rooms under the direction of
the regular teachers Pupils from all the
schools in the city will be present to take
part in the examination Friends of the

cation is expected to attend.

COLES CASE DISMISSED.
His Damage Suit Against the s.,

his damage suit Against the s., r.
and w. was Not in Proper Form.
In the city court yesterday the S., 900
damage suit of r. Henry Cole against the
Savannah, Florida and Western railway
for discharging him from its employ with
out good and sufficient reason, and for
FILLING TO furnish the plaintiff with
truthful reason, was dismissed by Judge
MacDOnell in compliance with a demurrer
set up by the Savannah, Florida and
Western that service had not been per-
fected by Mr.. Cole according to law. The
plaintiff gave notice that he would rem
edy the errors in the first declaration and
bring suit again at the July term.
Mr.. Coles suit was the first brought un-
der the law passed by the legislature of
189O-'9l making it compulsory upon rail
roads and other corporations to give to
discharged employees truthful reasons for
such discharge. and providing u penalty
of s. 900 for violation, which goes to the
complainant bringing the suit. The law,
however, requires the discharged party
to make the demand for treason" upon
the corporation by means of a regularly
authorized court officer, and gives thGcor-
poration twenty days in which to reply.
The hearing in the Cole case brought
out the fact that the plaintiffs demand
was served upon Supt. Fleming by Sea-
brook, Morgan e. Ways Office boy, and
that after discovering this to be unlaw-
full Mr.. Cole repeated his demand through
the sheriff of the city court and was
promptly furnished by the road with it's
reasons. Therefore Erwin, duBignon 81
Chisholm demurred to the suit and asked
for its dismissal
The plaintiff represented himself and
made quite a speech to the court in. which
he asserted that the reasons given,by the
Savannah, Florida and Western were
false and he could prove them so by num-
bers of witnesses. In dismissing the case
Judge MacDonell told Mr.. Cole that if the
road gave untruthful reasons he still had
cause for action under the law, aud the
plaintiff then gave notice that he would
bring the case in proper form at the next
term.
Judge Speer did not hold court yester-
day. IL was announced that court would
be held from II to 3 O'clock but it was
so late when the Judge arrived, owing to
| unavoidable circumstances. that the
court was adjourned until this morning at
