NAY MEET AGAIN AND NAY NOT.
The Turpentine Operators ASsocia-
ton In Innocuous Desuctude


The Turpentine Operators Protective
Association. which was organized in Sa-
vannah several months ago. is no; in
active existence just now. Mr.. W. l..
Gignilliat. secretary of the association.
stated as much to a Morning News re-
porter yesterday.
An effort will be made to get the asso-
citation together in January and the sue
cess of this meeting will decide whether
or not the association shall be continued
The association was organized for the
purpose Of bringing about cooperation
among the producers for the purpose OF
regulating the business and controlling
their own product. The association pro-
posed to work somewhat upon the order
OF the Savannah Naval Stores Associa-
ton, the stockholders of which are pro-
ducers, and which has been very. sue
cessful. The association was the, out
growth or the old Turpentine Operators
Association. which was organized in Sa
vannah three or four years ago. and of
which the majority of the operators in
TINS section We're members. This asso-
clation endeavored to regulate the price
of labor and to control the output. The
attempt TO reduce the output, however,
was failure and resulted in the disrup-
ton of the association.
The Cordele branch OF the association
was one of the strongest OF the sub-assO-
Citations, and continued to exist after the
principal body had dissolved. The presi-
dent. Mr.. ID. T. Daughtry, was active in
urging that the operators should unite
for the protection and advancement Of
their interests. As a result, the Cordee
association extended its scope. and was
transformed into the Turpentine Oper-
ators' Protective Association. the head
quarters of which was afterwards re-
moved to Savannah in order to command
a larger field. Several meetings were
held, but as the majority of the members
were never present at any one meeting.
IL was found impossible to carry the pur-
poses of the association into effect.
The main purpose of the association. -
said Mr.. Gignilliat, lis to divorce the fac
tor from the seller. 1t is not antagonstic
TO the factor. and we believe that the
man who advances the money to make
the crop and the man who sells the crop
after IL is made should not be one and
the same. AT present the interests of the
factor often conflict with those of the
! producer, and the factor being in control
of the product triumphs. The factor may
have entered into contracts. which make
II to his interest to sell without regard to
the progpect of obtaining a higher price.
He may have obligations to meet in bank
which Will cause him TO throw his stock
I on the market in order to obtain money
TO meet these obligations. If the seller
were merely the producers agent and
| had no further interest than to obtain
the highest market price for the owner,
! the conditions would be entirely differ

BOUNCED A BUCKET SHOP BROKER
F. J. Kennette suspended From the
Chicago Board of Trade.

Chicago. Dec. 10.-Francis J. Kennette
of the firm of Kennette, Hopkins & Co.,
was tonight suspended from the Chicago
Board of Trade for five years on the
charge of unmercantile conduct, in that
he dealt in commodities without a bona
fide sale and purchase for actual deliv-
cry. This was the formal charge brought
against him, the specific offense charged
being dealing in connection with Gum
ming, Well-knOwn bucket-shop proprie-
tor. J. f. Harris, who was cited to app
pear before the board of directors at the
same time as Mr. Kennette. will not get
a hearing until next Thursday.
Kennette, Hopkins & Co. conduct one OF
the largest private wire commission
houses in the city. In addition to men,
pershlp IN the chicago Board OF Trade,
they are also members OF the Chicago
and New York Stock Exchanges. The
cash grain business carried on by them
is conducted in the name of J. +. Harris
& Co. Mr.. Hopkins, as the member OF
the firm having no membership in the
board of trade, could not, of course, be
dealt with by its directors. The suspen-
sion was entirely unexpected by Mr.. Ken
nette, who claimed he would be able to clear
himself of the charge. The case occu-
pied six hours and a half of continuous
session. While there were dozens of wit
nesses for the prosecution. there were but
two for the defense-Mr Harris and Mr.
Gunning-and they made a very poor
showing. IL is said against the witnesses
who had preceded them. The prOseCut-
ing committee, consisting of e. S. Jones
William Nash and John Hill, are making
every effort to have all the so-called
bucket shopping members of the board
of trade punished, and it is understood
that the crusade will by no means end
with the conviction of kennette and Har-
ris-the latter, il is said, being also slat-
ed for disciplinng.
Big game is on the docket, and to-nights
decision is likely to produce great con-
sternation in the ranks of the irregular
traders.
