cause the standard of excellence is never
lowered. 1t is the best all the year
through-nothing is wanting to make it
perfectly satisfactory to every patron.
Besides, the scale of charges is the most
moderate in the country. Nowhere else
can one be served so faultlessly as at
Hicks and with so little drain on his
purse strings. oysters are now in fun
sway at Hicks, and oysters are oysters
there sure enough. Nothing but fine select

GLAD TO GET RID or 1T.
The City's Disposition of the Trees
Cut Down in the Streets.

A complaint was made to the Morning
News this week that the wood from the
trees cut down by the street and lane
committee in opening up the streets in
the southern sections of the city was
given away unfortunately to colored
people
The party making the compliant did not
object so much to the fact that the wood
was given to negroes as that it was hauled
to their yards by the city teams, when
there We're so many white people in the
neighborhood who would have been glad
to get some of the wood, or when it might
have been given to the charitable institu-
tons. The complaint was brought to the
attention of Alderman Gleason, chairman
Of the street and lane committee who said
there was nothing in il.
we have given considerable wood to
negroes in that section" said the alder
man, and we have even hauled il to
their homes for them. Nearly all the wood
obtained in opening up Seventh and Aber-
corn streets is live oak, which is a very
difficult wood to handle. You can't split
IT, so we saw it up into lengths and give
II TO anybody who will take it away Even
then we can't get rid of it, and we have
to haul most of it away ourselves. We
are glad TO dump it in the nearest ward
Tor anybody that wants it. l made the
oHer TO the people in that vicinity that if
they would come and load the wood into
the wagons, we would haul it to their
yarus Tor them. That is the way the
negroes come TO get most of it. The larger
limbs were cut up into proper lengths and
hauled to the orphan asylums and to the
Little Sisters of the Poor, who are nearby.
Ihere are lot of small limbs on the
ground yet that can be had by ANYBODY
who will send for them. To show YOU how
much this live oak wood is in demand |
nave mad TO give orders to burn a quantity
or live oak roots on Seventh street thar
nave been lying there for two years. III
you go there tonight you will see them
burning. There are several more live oak
trees 10 come down on Seventh street and
II your complainant wants some of the
wood she can get it by sending after ii or
II she lives nearby we will haul it to her. .

what Is Said About the LongshOre-
mems Oner.

The shipbrokers who were approached
yesterday on the subject OF the long
shoremen's circular, Offering to stow cot
ton at 25 cents a bale, said they did not
care to enter into any discussion of the
matter, and that they had nothing what
ever to say about It. They did not care
to start newspaper talk with the long
shoremen, they said.
Col r. Il. Harmon, who has charge OF
all the labor at present engaged in stor-
ing cotton in the port, likewise had moth
ing to say about the circular
ut IS only n bluff,' he said. and dOesu' t
amount TO anything. They haven't the
men here to do the work with. even If il
should be offered to them. Many Of the
white lOngsnOremen have gone to otner
ports, and nearly all of those remaining
in the citv have secured employment m
the police and fire departments. OF the
negro longshoremen, fully two-thirds are
now working for me-"
How many men have you I'm your en-
plOy nOW?' Col Harmon was asked.
About CO., he replied. land l can get
as many more as | want. l am loau4ng

In reply to an inquiry Col. Harmon
said uae wages paid are the same as last
year, 40 cents an hour to headers and
30 cents to longshoremen, while the outside
hands are paid from 17ia TO % cents an
hour The men, he said, are satisfied and
everything is running smoothly.

REACHING INTO FLORIDA.
Naval stores Men Extending Their
Territory Southwark.

Territory Southwark.
The Savannah naval stores dealers are
gradually extending their operations in
to Florida. For some years the Savannah
factors have had dealings with customers
in the northern tier of Florida counties,
but now they are gradually extendine
their operations further south, until now
they reach down toward Tampa on the
west side and for considerable distance
south Of Jacksonville. along the St. Johns
river, on the east side. These facts are
OBTAINED from naval stores factors and
rallroad men. a prominent railroad man
told the Morning News that the naVa;
stores traffic from Florida is increasing
every year. A we'll known naval stores
said:
Yes, we are extending our territory in
70 + Ioriua every year. The turpentine
territory IN Georgia is rapidly playing
out and it is necessary for us to ex-
tend our operations into Florida had half
a dozen large customers last wear who
moved from Georgia into Florida TbeV
sold out their places in Georgia Par;

ninue 70 produce certain amount of
naVal stores for some time to come, though
IN gradually reducing quantities. This
move southwark must continue as the
the Georgia turpentine terrific plav>
out Practically all of The availahle
turpentine territory in this state has
Deen or Is being worked. There is very
A4NNAS AaAAADeu bullQ4uB gong on to ODpQ
up new territory and in fact there is NOT
much territory left to open up. The tur.
penune operators can work ten to fifteen
miles from the railroads, which the lum-
bernen cannot do without building tram
roads, so that while there is a great deal
OF good lumber timber left in this state
there Is not very much left for the tur-
pentine operator. Georgia will continue
TO produce large quantities of naval
stores for some years to come however
There are still large bodies Of land held
by corporations and private owners who
have refused to sell the turpentine priv
ilege and this is gradually coming on the
market"
There is a very good field open to us
in Florida. We are able to secure com
peting rates from most of the turpentfne
country there. This has enabled us to
work down toward Tampa. The same
thing has enabled us to extend our OPP
erations along the st. Johns river where
we have the steamboat lines and two
competing lines Of railroad. The compile
ton of the Florida Central and Peninsu-
lar railroad to Savannah has proven a
great advantage to US in this respect"
I'VE will have no trouble in holding
the trade. too" he added. 1.-THE naval
stores trade has such a firm foothold here
and the facilities for handling it are
such that il would not be an easy mat
ter to defect it. Then, our railroad CON
nectiOns are such as to give us practical
command of the territory. Savannah will
continue to be the principal naval stores
market for MANY wears to come
