News several days ago. returned TO the
city from Florida on yesterday.
Superintendent Myers gave to Morn

Of the announcement that he had resign

that 1t would take effect on July l. After
that date he will assume the duties of the
Office to which he has been appointed,
that of general superintendent of the Pen

tiers will be in Jacksonville, from which
point he will direct the operation of the
new company after the date at which his

been twenty years in the service of the

perience and much native ability. I'm
der his direction it is expected that the
management of the company's business

various perishable products which are
shipped from this section will be looked
after with the same minuteness and at
tended with the same success as has been
the case under the very admirable ad-

TURPENTINE MEN SUFFER,
The Rains Greatly Interfere with
Gathering the Product.


The naval stores industry is pretty sure
10 suffer with other industries as a result
of the heavy rains which have prevailed
throughout the belt during the last ten or
twelve days. The effect of wet weather
is to stop work, in the first place, and the
lower temperature caused thereby checks
the flow of gum and the gathering Of the
product.
Reports 20 factors are to the effect that
heavy rains have interfered with work
throughout the naval stores territory in
Georgia. Work has been considerably it,
terfered with in Florida. The downpour
was equally as damaging in Alabama and
Mississippi, so that the general effect VIII
probably be heavily felt. Farmers had
mad trouble in getting a sufficient supply
Of Iabro. and this followed by the damag-
ing rains will have very detrimental eff
feet.
While prices OF turpeutine have been 60
ine down as a result of a light demand,
attributed largely to shipments from The
Gulf ports, where factors are dealing d.
rect with foreign consumers. IT is probable
the effect of the rain will be to check this
tendency and impart a decided frmer tone
to the market Up to this time, however.
the bullish weather reports have not re-
sisted the tendency caused by the lighter
demand.

NEARLY TWO INCHES OF RAIN.
Heavy DOwnpour During the Last
Twenty-four Hours.

the amount for the twenty-four hours
ending at O'Clock last night being 1855
inches The greater part of this fell dur
ing the early morning hours, the fall be
tween and 3 O'Clock being so heavy az
TO make those who saw 1t believe il to be
a cloudburst.
Just what damage has been done to the
farms 1t was not possible to learn, but
there was undoubtedly some, for the
downpour was not confined to this imme-
date vicinity, but extended a considerable
distance out into the country.
During the heaviest part of the rainfall
in the morning, and for some time nfter-
ward many of the streets were impassa-
BILE, the sewers being unable to carry OF
the unusual volume as fast as it came
down, So that tao water in many cases ex-
tended in almost unbroken sheets for
blocks
The temperature yesterday was maxi
mum, SIS degrees at / 20 o'clock p. m, and
minimum, 50 degrees at 3 a. m.
The state forecast for to-day is showers
and thunderstorms, brisk south winds ard
squalls. Tomorrow, II is predicted, will
be fair.

PREACHED ON HAPPY HOMES.
Rev. Arthur J. Smiths Sermon at the
First Presbyterinn.

First Presbyterian.
Happy Homes" was the subject last
night of the last sermon in the series to
young women by Rev. Arthur j. Smith,
pastor of the First Presbyterian Church
There are families. said Rev. Mr.. Smith,
in Asia and Africa, Europe and America,
and in the islands of the sea, whose
dwelling places are no more to them than
the lairs of the beasts of the forest. In
warm climates the people live out of doors
so much that the home is almost I'M
known. 1t is only a shelter in which they
sleep at night. Even in Northern climates
this may be true. Something more is
needed to make home besides bricks and
mortar, clapboards and shingles. 1t may
be a beautiful dwelling with expensive
furnishing, and it may contain some of the
finest works of art, but still not be home.
II may shelter a father and mother; chill
dren may be there, and Yet il is not a
home; 1t is only house.
In Europe it is said there is no word for
home in all the languages. the only word
they have is house or dwelling. 1t is in
the English language we find the word.
real home has an Undesirable atmos-
phere about it that makes the inmates
of heaven
A happy home is not an accident. nor
yet the result of circumstances. A gen
uine home is the abode of love. Love is
unselfsh, does not want everything Its
own way ana all to itself Love is pa
tent, long suffering. Love is courteous
polite. Love keeps up the same charming
manners that were shown during court
ship. Love confides trusts. There are no
misunderSt andings long endured by love.
Love is sympathetic. In sickness il
nurses, in trouble it cleaves, and in weak
ness it strengthens. 1t is wonderful how
much strength little woman has at
times. Love works hard. Ruskin tells US
that the meaning of wife is weaver.
The true wife IS, indeed, a weaver in the
home. Love turns a crust of bread into a
banquet and by il a hut becomes a Wal
dorf-Astoria. Five hundred dollars a
year with love makes an Infinitely happ er
home than 5000 without love
MIR. Smith said in closing that IL the
home was TO be supremacy happy it must
have God within its gates He must be
loved and worshiped unfeigne1ly. Except
the Lord build the house they labor in
vain that build it,
1t is likely that later in the season Mr..
Smith will preach to yong men q series
of sermons Of like character to the ones
just ended.
Mr.. Smith announced that during July
there will be union services by the con
gregation of the First Presbyterian Church
and Wesley Monumental. The services
will be held alternately at Wesley ana the
First Presbyterian churches beginning at
Wesley when Mr.. Smith will preach
while those held at the First church will
be conducted by Rev. Ed +. Cook.

STARTED IN CLOTHING STORE.
Yesterday Mornings Fire Began in
Middle of Closed Room.

An examination made by representatives.
of the companies with which the insur-
ance on the property damaged by the
fire of early yesterday morning Is placed,
makes it appear that the flames started
In the second hand clothing store of
Lasky & Stalberg, father than in the
little restaurant of Titus Tison, as was a t
first thought to be the case.
In the cursory inspection of the prem
ises that was made just after the fire had
been controlled, In the early hours of
yesterday morning, while the smoke was
still in the rooms and in everybody's eyes,
II escaped notice that nothing in the
rooms occupied by the restaurant had
been burned, and that there all the dam
age done had been by smoke and wa
ter.
When closer inspection was made of
the premises on yesterday, it developed
that the flames had originated in the
very center of the clothing store, which
was presumably, closed and locked at
the time, and had spread from that
point Some of the tables used to dis
play the wares and a considerable pro-
portion of the stock were either destroy
ed or damaged by fire. No reasonable
explanation of the manner in which the
fire could have started, accidentally, at
this point, has been advanced The store
is located on the northeast corner of
Bryan and jefferson streets
