Mr.. r. f. Billiard, vice president OF the
savannah Naval Stores Company, leaves
tonight for Pensacola where he will mere
after be located as manager of the Gulf
Naval stores Company's Office in that city.
A warehouse has been leased by the COM
many aud business will be at once opened.
A number OF operators will begin ship

merts have been made with a number of
others for the coming. season. The COM
pany will run large supply department,
as is customary with most naval stores
houses now.
Pensacola will be the main office of the
company owing to its superior shipping
and general business facilities. That port
IS destined TO become very important
naval stores center, it is believed, and it
would not be surprising If it competed
strongly with Brunswick for second place
next year. II is estimated that the next
season will find receipts there of fully
5000 casks of spirits and 10000 barrels
Of rosin In addition to the Gulf Naval
Stores Company the S. P. Shooter Com
pany does large business at Pensacola,
and il is believed that it will handle fully
1000 casks of spirits from that territory
This season The great bulk of the stuff
is shipped to the western consumers.
The opening of the Pensacola Office by
the Gulf Company will not affect the re-
ceipts at Savannah. While some custom
ers of the Savannah Naval Stores Com
pany will ship TO the Gulf Company there,
they are operators who have not been
shipping here, but whose production has
gone directly west by rail- The receipts
at Carabelle may be affected, and it is
thought will be affected, as some OPP
orators who have been shipping there will
doubtless find it more to their advantage

sending stuff TO Carabelle by water will
let it so on to Pensacola, although the dis
lance is farther, the boats being better
abe TO get return cargoes from that port.
There will be quite an influx of operators
into the Pensacola territory within the
next few weeks A number of them have
leased timber and will be ready to begin
cutting boxes shortly. Among them are
some of the Georgia operators who suf-
fered by the recent storm. While The pro-
ducton of naval stores in that section will
accordingly be vastly increased, 1t will be
largely to offset a falling off In other ter

ter:
TO the Democrats of Chatham county:
In few days you will be called upon to

to compliment by your votes one who has
for so many years devoted his time and
talents to the development of your inter-

policy of the republic for centuries to
come will be formulated by the Congress

grave crisis You owe 1t to yourselves,
to your community, and TO your country
TO speak through your votes to the end
that the entire body of the Democratic
party shall stand behind your candidate
IN the convention, whose prompt and unan-
lmous action placed him in nomination, sat
the harmonious representa- of every
lacuon of your county. Do not by any
present apathy contribute to the Difficult
ues of mis- position and so lend comfort
10 the enemy. Let me earnestly appeal
70 each of you to register your vote at
lhe approaching election for Rufus r.
Lester, that he may be returned to the
FEDERAL legislature with. your enthusiast
lie support and confidence"

chief Mcguire VIII Try to Provide
Reading Matter for Department.
Chief Mcguire is DESTROYS Of getting up
a circulating library for the men of the
fire department, to be located at head
quarters and with all the firemen enjoying
its privileges free of cost. In some other
cities such libraries exist and serve great
ly to relieve the life of the men of monot-
ony. Compelled TO be on duty at the sew
oral stations, time hangs heavily on their
hands and the opportunity to secure good
reading matter III this'way would be great
ly appreciated.
Chief Mcguire believes that there are
many persons who have books, magazines,
ETC., that they would cheerfuily contrib
ute to this cause, and that in short time
quite n library would be at hand. Tie
ire commissioners would probably ap-
prove Of the innovation, Some steps Will
probably be taken on this line In a few

DRAINAGE CONTRACT SIGNED.

West Broad street OutIet

Ostu street
Mixes & Bradt and the city have formally
entered into the house drainage contract.
The volpminous paper was signed yester-
day by Mr.. Bradt for the firm, and by
Acting Mayor Owens for the city. When
the bond is given. which will probably be
the first of next week. all preliminary ar
engagements between the city and the con-
tractors viii have been completed.
When the work is commenced, which
win be in about ten days, IL will be car
ried along with all possible haste. AS has
oeen stated, the first shovel will be struck
at the West Broad street outlet, and the
trench will be dug sufficiently deep to have
the sewer outlet strike the river ten feet
DeloWslow water mark. BY having the
outlet this depth below the surface of the
stream, 1t is hoped to dissolve and decom-
pose all particles of sewage in the event
II should come to the surface. The con-
tractors have not decided on the plan
they will adopt in building the outlet into
the river but they are considering the
use of cofferdams. There will then be
ample room in which to work
AS soon as this outlet is built, the sewer
system will be continued out West Broad
laterals have been placed i'm the lanes
west Of Bull street as far south as Har-
ris, so thRt their connection with the West
Broad street main will complete a large
portion of the system A considerable
part of the system in the western section
will connect with a main which is to run
on Farm street.
Supervising Engineer Chapman is COM
fortably fixed in his office, in the city ex-
change, and is busily engaged getting out
old maps and other papers he will need
during the progress of the work. Besides
seeing that the work is done properly, and
according TO the terms of the city's con-
tract 1t will also be Mr.. Chapmans duty
to prepare an estimate of the work done
each month, so that 50 per cent. of the
amount may be paid to the contractors.
The contractors will pay the laborng
force weekly. and from present calcula-
tons there viii be about $50 laborers en-
gagged on the system. Mr.. Bradt will rep
resent the firm in Savannah while the
work is in progress and win establish an
Office at some convenient place in a few
days.

In. LIE HARDY DECLARES A TRUCE
VIII Now ReIinquish His Efforts to
Divert Council.

VIII Now ReIinquish His Efforts to
Divert Council.
Health officer LeHardy has explained
his assertions about being removed at the
expiration Of his present term, so that it
IS possible nothing further will be heard
of the communication the Mayor is di-
rected by Council to send him. He admits
he was correctly quoted in the main, but
states he was only testing at the time.
Judging from his characteristic good ma
ture, however, it is not always easy to tell
just when DR.. LeHardy intends to be Sc
riously taken.
The object of the apparent attack on
Council has been misconstrued by many.
The purpose, 1t Is claimed, is to secure to
the city the best sanitary conditions, and
where the board Is pursuing a course he
thinks improper, DR. LeHardy considers
he has a perfect right to criticise its ac-
ton, and gives 1t the benefit of the re-
searches he has made on the line of good
sanitary conditions. He states this was
his purpose in making a fight against the
house drainage outlets, and when the
board undertook to deprive him of the
privilege of expressing himself, he says he
considers 1t a step in the wrong direction.
Now that he has been fairly put on
record in regard to the drainage outlets,
however, DR.. LeHardy says he will make
no further effort to divert the public from
the course Council has adopted in regard
to the outlets. The question has been set
tied and it is stated there will be no fur
Their objections raised, at least for the
present.

ly, more especially in the coal carrying
business. Two or three of these barges
are towed by one tug, and each barge
carries from 1900 to 1850 tons. The freight
can be carried this way about Is per cent.
cheaper than by schooner. Each barge Is
equipped with steam windlass and other
apparatus, and only three or four men are
needed to handle il. This trade is now
confined principally TO the Northern ports,
