Columbus, Ga, July 23.-(Special.)-
Their are now only about six hundred
bales of cotton in the Columbus ware
houses. and the probability is that by
September 1st. the beginning of the new
cotton year, the warehouses will be
empty. Last season about six thousand
bales We're carried over. During the
season now drawing TO Il close compete

City Court Cases.

In the city court this morning
George Snaveley was charged with
disordcrly conduct. Charles L.
Moore testified that he resided at
No. $40 Lombard street. He is
foreman at the Johnson Forge Com
pany and Snaveley came to him on
Friday and asked for an order to
get his money from the Office. This
request was refused and then
Snavely cursed him. On Saturday
he went to the p ant and on coming
home he met snavely and he called
him foul name. He told Snavelcy
that he would have to get notice
before he could get the money. He
denied that he told Snaveiey he
would fix his business when he got
outside OF the plant. William
Hutchinson heard the language
used. The night foreman had sus-
pended or discharged Snavely. He
heard Snavelcy invite Moore to 20
outside of the plant. Pay day is on
Saturday at the works. A fine of
IS and costs was imposed.
Victor Ekholm pleaded guilty to
the charge of assault and battery

W. {. CRANE.

William II. Crane new play, ga
Rich Man S Son, will be presented
at the Opera House ON Saturday
evening, January l3. This is the
play Mr.. Crane made such pro-
nounced hit with while in New
York, and it is said to be really
one of the brightest and most anus
ing works the stage has had in
some time. And what is to be com
mended in it most Of all is the fact
that its humor flows from pure
sources, and that there is not
blush in it. The rich man son in
the play is a brainy ass, who comes
home from his schooling in Europe
with queer ideas about the rights
of the rich to their wealth. He
hates his father S money and means
to carve out ramc for himself ur-
aided and without recourse to his
fathers influence. Some of the
scenes are ludlcrous in the extreme
but with all of its humor the play
has whole lot OF common sense
running through it. The work was
greatly praised in New York, and
is said to be lasting and deserv-
ing success.

They like to read their pedigree
And have their story told.
They use more wind than common
sense,
They have more gas than brains,
For Kruger and his soldiers
Would not thank them for their
pains.
One million dollars they will send,
And ammunition too,

With good things for all to chew
They had better ''port their helm.

WHITE PINE
is DEARER
And the Increased Price
May Effect Whining
ton Building.

Lumber dealers in this city are
discussing the advance in prices
made by the North Carolina Pine
Lumber Association which amounts
to 81 tho. sand.
"The demand for white pine"
said a dealer, has grown to such
an enormous degree that the supply
is not equal to the demand. In
tact the supply is falling off every
year. | have just recently been
through the Northwest. and there
are lumber men out there who are
holding on to what pine they have,
because they know they cannot
replace it at the present range OF
pr'ccs. The fact is the question is
narrowing down to this query.
v ill they be able to replace it at
all ? Two points in Michigan which
a d zen years ago were the centers
of the white pine lumber industry
are now practically cut ont. The
lower grades Of white pine have
advanced III price from IS to 100
per cent and the better grades from
IS to 30 per cent.
Nov the sap pine of the South
has been taking the place of white
pine in many ways, and the South
ern lumber dealers see chance to
make little money and they have
naturally taken advantage Of it.
Of course, this is only a dollar a
thousand feet, but it may go higher
and even dollar means good sum
in big bu idmg operation. There
was time when lumbermen i'll a
: the Southern :. tates sold pine at
loss. They had to have money to
meet Their paper or other obliga-
tons. and what loss there was they
had to grin and bear. Now they
have chance to get even, Sap
pine cannot take the place of white
pine in all ways, but 1t can in many,
and so the increased demand and
now the increased price.
1T takes about eighty years for
a white pine forest to Attain snffi-
Gent growth to warrant another
cutting. so YOU can readily unde,-
stand why the supply IS running
short. For sap pine, however, it
only takes about thirty years. The
advance in the price of lumber and
in fact, of all building materials
may prevent certain amount Of
building opera IONS. That would
l think, be good thing for the
property owners We are building
houses 100 Rapidly in this city. The
supply is far in excess otthe natural
yearly il crease in population. 1t
would be better ifno more dwelling
houses were put up in this city ior
the next five years.
