Tennille, Aug, 4-The colt show got
ten up by Mr.. Gilmore for the purpose of
exhibiting his two thoroughbred stall
lions, .Magnus and Speed, came off and was
a success. About forty colts were exhibi-
ted, and they were fine specimens. The
premiums We're small but sufficient inter
est was manifested to get cut a goodly
number of l, 2 and 3 years old colts to
make quite a display.
George Brantly took advantage of
the opportunity to exhibit couple of his
Durock Jersey hogs.
- J, Is. and L. G. Davis sent up a pig I'M
der six months old, a cross with Jersey
and Berkshire, which weighed $40
pounds.
Messrs. Brantly and Davis deserve
much credit for taking the initiative in
introducing the best breed of hogs

Low PRICES OF NAVAL sToR Es

aged by the Outlook.

An Operator of Waycross Discour-
aRedby the Outlook.
Waycross, Ga, Aug. 4.-"What effect
do the present low prices of naval stores
have upon the businessl' was asked of a
prominent turpentine operator to-day,
THE present prices do not pay the ex-
penses of the business"
''Do you mean to say that you are &C
tually not making expenses"
yes, ! am sure l do not, and all the OPP
orators have seen say that they are fall
ing far short of making expenses"
''Have you actually suffered from low
prices longl"
we have managed by close economy
to pay expenses until July, and since
then the loss began"
Has there been an increase in the pro-
duction of naval stores this year over last
year2'
Il do not think there has been an in
crease; it is hardly possible that there
has been an overproduction."
"What effect will the repeal of the
Sherman law have upon the business2"
1T might possibly help the business,
but it would not bring great relief"
will there be a decrease in the bust
ness next year?'
II think that there will be a remarkable
decrease in the manufacturing of naval
stores. A great many have failed already
and others have disposed of their bust
ness at sacrifice. The present outlook
is very discouraging to the turpentine
operators

PACKS WITH A HISTORY.

These old cards are not usually pretty,
but among the piquet and whist displays
is an early French whist pack in which
the figures seem to be portraits, and show
that the originals are marvels of water
color art. Among the curios is the game
of Geographic" in which each card pos
sesses a tiny map of a country at the
head, below which is brief synopsis of
its climate, people, etc, India being de-
scribed as "le plus beau, lie plus richie ct
le plus fertile pays de Ia terre." A set of
Apache (ArizOna) playing cards collected
by Capt. G.. b Sanford consists of forty
greasy squares of skin painted with en-
blems of the chase and domestic life by
these primitive but clever artists. Then
there are Indian cards from South Anne
rican pampas and copies of the original in
the NaciOnal Museum, Madrid. A water
color sheet of reproductions of a Mexican
pack of 1852, from the Seville (Spain)
archives of the Indies seems to show the
beginning of the modern picture card,
the queen, king and knave each being
squeezed together and ineXtricably mixed
up with their Chinese apparel till one
cannot make out any likeness to the hui
man figure in them
The Orientals, as usual, have their own
way of making cards. The pretty and
poetic game of hama karnta Flower
cards. consists of a score of tiny Oblongs.
The whole pack could be hidden in Ia
dy's palm, and is loaned by Mrs. John
King Van Rensselaer, of New York. The
figures are fruits, flowers, birds and
fishes. Backgammon, that classic game,
honored by nOvelists and even poets, is
the offspring of the idle moments of a
prince of the FlOwery Kingdom 1t is very
ancient, its Chinese name being Sheung
LUX 1t travelled from China to Japan,
where it got its modern name of Suga-
roku. The twelve compartments repre-
sent the months, and are called me (eyes)

with which the game is played being

sheets representing the board are works
