Some weeks ago we mentioned
the fact that kinas,ree possessed
some manufacturing establish

Of our establishments is the Black
Cypress Lumber Mill, owned and
operated by Nr. Joel Z Brunson.
one of the best known mill men
of the State. His lumber plant
Is situated on Black river, below
the town Of kingSiree, and night
on the North. Eastern railroad. A
special side-track puts the rail
road cars right at the door of his
dry kiln, and he loads the lumber
direct from the yards. The um-
Der yards comprise something over
three acres, and there is now
more than three hundred and fifty
thousand leel of lumber ther- Sew
eraI tram roads are used in trans
porting the lumber TO various
parts of the yard.
The plant is fitted up with a
6O-horse power engine built by
the Erie City Iron Works; a num-
ber 3 double saw mill made by
The Lane Mfg. Co.. of Montpelier.

| Mr.. Brunson moved this mill
here from Sumter about three
years ago, as he found that he
could get better timber here, and
at great deal less cost. He
ships a good deal of his lumber 10

Sumter. and there ii is made up.
The principal timbe's used in the
mill are black cypress, maple, ash
oak. gum, hickory and pine.
The dry, kiln is 1Sx90 feet and
takes 10000 ieet of lumber.
When everything is running on
full time twenty live men are en-
plnyed.
Mr.. Brunson has 1,500 acres of
timber land in what is known us
Laws swamp, and from this tract
he gets a good deal of his logs.
The cypress is, gotien further up
the river and is floated down in

one hundred logs and it usually
takes about four days to make the
trio down the river with the rats.

Thousand logs. A log haul 125
feet in length brings the 'ogs from
the water to the mil. After
going through the main saw the

Review of the Situation.

London, May 14.-Except for the
fighting in EDirus, the Turko-Hellenic
situation is virtually unchanged from
what it was yesterday. II is tolerably
certain that only a few Greek troops
remain in Domokos, the bulk of Con-
stantine's army having withdrawn to
LAMA. where it VIII be in closer COM
munication with General Smolenski
This probably explains the reported
movements of the Turkish army, as
number of Edhem Pasha's troops have
been marching from Trikkala to Volo.
Without doubt the respite of the feast
of Bairamis was very welcome to the
fatigued men.
The fighting in Epirus has been in
decisive Ii is believed that Nicopolis
is not yet captured. but only the
heights commanding the town. The
Greeks made a pretext of the protection
of the peasants, but they evidently
have information as to the reasons for
the apparent inactivity of the Turks in
Epirus. This is the seventh time the
Greeks have attempted to advance to
Janina and have met with a reDulse
which the Turks have never followed
up
Evidently there is something wrong
with the Turkish forces at that point
The recent report that a number OF
officers were taken from Janina to Con-
stentinople in chains may, perhaps. ex-
plain it, or POSSIBLY Turkey is holding
her forces there through fear OF a
movement from Bulgaria.

Senator Morgan said that = message

and clothing would not cause him 20
deviate from his purpose of pressing .
resolution for the recognition OF state
of war. as he had given notice he would
do before il was assumed that the .reSi-
dent would send in such message.
The friends of the Morgan resolution
will not antagonize measures contem-
plating temporary relief. but they are
not dis7osed to accept such measures in
place OF a more general and far reach
ing declaration.
The opposition, also. probably will ac
quiesce in resolution approprlating

Senator Hale. who is generally recog-
nized as the leader of the opposition to all
measures looking to a general declaration

city but Senator White. who also on

that while there were such DIRECTIONS TO

ton to such a measure. Some of the pro-
CubanS take the position that any supplies

London, May 1.-THE correspondent
of the Times at Athens says:
THE resumption of Offensive opera
lions in Epirus greatly complexities the
situation, and tends to hamper the ne
gotiations for peace. The evident in
tention of the Greek commanders is to
capture the Turkish positions there, in
order to show that they have not been
defeated
In an interview today. Nj. Ralli the
premier, repeated his statement that
Humanitarian motives are responsible
for the advance in Epirus, but he did
not deny the advantages which might
be hoped for from the capture of Pre-
vesa and the occupation Of the adjoin-
ing Turkish territory
e We are still at war he said, and
until an armistice is concluded, Greece
retains her liberty of action. We can
not allow our activity to be confined to
Thessaly, where the Turkish are pre-
ponderant. The powers have hindered
us from acting in Crete, but Greece
cannot be barred everywhere nor COM
PEELED to restrict her operations TO a,
limited area.
-" We have done our best to obtain
an armistice and until it is accorded we
must act where and when we can. II
We have not already prosecuted the
war at various points and among the
islands of the Aegean, it is only be-
cause we have taken into consideration
the sufferings to which the Greek popu-
lation might be subjected
The government apparently thinks
that a renewal of the war Will hasten
instead of retard the armistice. This
calculation may prove TO be correct;
but it is more likely that Turkey will
seize upon it as an excuse for delaying
the armistice and will deal crushing
blow in Thessaly."

through safe is unknown. but it is be-
lieved it will not fall below $1,000 or

wrecked by the explosion of the dyna-
mite. The top was blown off on the
sides. and the floor was badly shat

0OULDS' TAXES.
Question of Inheritance Argued in
New York

New York. MAY 1.-THE proceedings
brought by the heirs of the late jay
Gould. to have the amount of the in
heritance tax fixed. was argued before the
appellate division of the supreme court
today.
the city and county of New York, who
was expected to make the leading argu-
ment ,vcs absent when the case was
called ard John r. DosDassos made the
argument He urged that the legacy
of s. coo. 600 to George Gould was in reality
debt for services rendered by George
Gould for his father. The 600 600 re-
fer-ed to has been exempted by the sur
r.. n wen tho win was nrobated.
Ex-Judre John F. Dillon argued the
case 10 the heirs- His co-tention IS
that the s5.000.000 wes payment of serv-
ices rendered by George Could for his
father several years prior to Jay Gould 5
death. He also argued that the legacieS
were appraised too high and that the
amount of the tax by the surrogate s57S.
000 Was much too large.
The decision was reversed.
The Could estate was appraised by
David Mcclure. who was appointed by
Surrogate Fitzgerald at sS1 100000 gross
amount of the tax at S57S 000. From this
decision both the state and the heirs APP
nealed. The chief ground for the states
aDneal was that Mr. Mcclure allowed a
claim of S. COG 600 for services rendered by
George Gould to his father to count as q
debt against the estate. and to reduce its
net value by that amount. The chief
point on which the heirs based the an
neal was thnt the securities which con-
stituted the bulk of the estate E'ere
wrongly appraised. They assert that if
the Gould securities had been thrown on
the rnarl-et at once, there would have
been a fall in value of 20 o. 30 DER cent
or even more. To appraise the shares at
the quotations on the stock exchange at
the time Of Mr.. Gould's death was they
argue unfair.

against permission being granted
Americans to export toeaccb from Cuba
by virtue of the alleged contracts made
before General Weyler prohibited all

understanding that If it were as con-

pretensions CT the American exporters
would no. be admitted
The minister added that he felt con-

would not back up the claim of the
American exp5ite if their pretensions
proved to be unfounded. as both gov
