Wednesday, Jan: %.
Local trading was rather quiet in all
,,es to-day. with small price changes
s,on,n in the closing of the various mar
lets. Spot cotton closed firm and I'M
hanged. with no sales reported. Resins
,osed firm and unchanged, with a mod
,rate business doing, and with the under
tone of the market very steady. Spirits
tprpentine declined a cent, at which the,
market ruled firm. but with the demand
hardly equal to the amount of available
supplies.
Weakness was shown in the turpentine
market on yesterday when the closing
Was quiet at 3Sc, but with little business
reported on this basis. The fact was that
buyers anticipated concessions, and con-
seoueutly remained out of the market
pending developments. While to-day's re-
r4ipts are less than yesterdays. the
amount received so far this week is con-
~iderably ahead of last year, and the
stock also shows a considerable increase
in favor of this season. Under these con-
ditioas the efforts of buyers to get in o.
,asional jabs at prices are generally sue
cessful. unless they are forced into the
market for supplies to satisfy imperative
demacds. The wholesale markets closed
steady and active. New York stocks
closed irregular, with most of the early
gains lost in the closing reaction. The
following resume of the different markets
will show the tone and quotations at the
closing to-day:

MUST HUSTLE FOR CLIENTS.
New York Lawyers Compelled to
Drum Up Business or Starve.
From the New York Sun.


From the New York Sun.
Get a move on! That's the great
modern motto" said New York law
yer who has been practicing in the To-
cal courts for the last twenty five
years.
when I was admitted to the bar, "
he went on there was great idea
of the dignity of the profession. A
lawyer would about as soon have pa
raded Broadway carrying a sandwich
sign calling attention to his legal abil-
ity as he would have thought of hus-
Ting. in any other way for business.
The thing to do was to rent an Office
and sit in it until somebody came and
dug you out of the dust and spider
webs and asked you to take a case.
THE march of progress has changed
all that. Every law firm in this city
hustles for business. don't mean that
the big men of the firm chase around
after clients. OF course they don't.
But the firm does a lot of shrewd plan
ming ahead. 1t schemes in a particu-
lar fashion of it's own to widen it's
sphere of usefulneSs-to itself.
"Of late years one of the expedients
adopted has been the taking into the
firm of young college graduates who
can give a reasonable guarantee that
they will bring business. College men
know of this custom and many of
them. shape their life at the university
accordingly. They are after friends.
They. want to be popular. They want
to be- able to Swing as much of the
future legal business of their fellow
graduates as they can.
"A chap who can bring business OF
that sort is taken in on a good salary,
even when he is the veriest tyro at
law. He's expected, of course, to do
what real work he tcan and to study
hard. But the salary is for the pull he
can exert over his fellows"

Cedar Key Gulf Coaster: A man.

one day last week under very peculiar
circumstances. Floyd Conyers and son,
colored, were sailing along near south
bar when suddenly the large fish leap
ed from the waves into the air, struck
the boom of the boat and fell in the
boat. Although finally triumphant over
their captive. 1t would doubtless have

will add $50 or 800 people to Tifton's

This will add approximately, 100 peo,

days the Triton Lumber Company win
begin operating their planning mills.
These will also have a capacity of 30
600 per day, employ about thirty men.
and add another 100 to our population.
The Triton Knitting mills are steadily
at work with orders ahead, and run
ming on full time. These employ about
forty people, when run with a full
force, and add another three figures to

ington, an old and respected negro liv-
ing on Dr.. Mallette's place some six
or seven miles from Boston, was MUIR
dered on last Monday. The deed was
committed between 9 and 10 o'clock

Jim Williams because of some family
trouble, Williams being the son-in-
law of Silas. on the morning of the
killing Silas had gone to the field and
when he did not return promptly his
wife went TO look for him and found
him dead, having been shot five times
with a Winchester rifle. The evidence

Judge Frank z. Curry Of Butts coun-

ate in the Twenty sixth district. His
opponent is Rev. Alex Atkinson. At
the last meeting of the senatorial con-
vention in Griffin it was decided TO
change the mode of electing senators
that had been in vogue for years,
which allowed the county whose time it
was to have the honor, under the rota-
lions system, name their man and the
other counties composing the district
indorsing him. The change made was
TO allow every county in the district
TO vote in the nomination and the can
didate to be elected by a plurality Of

FLoRIDIAN GETS BIG CONTRACT.

One of the biggest contracts ever
awarded to a Floridian has been closed
to w. T. Berry, of Pensacola, and it
is estimated by him that the contract
involves some 81. 900, 900 The purchasers
are well-known capitalists in Cuba,
and Mr.. Berry received information
from them, stating that his terms
would be accepted, and one of the
members of the firm would arrive in
Pensacola within a few weeks, or the
latter portion of the month, to sign
up the contract for the delivery of the
articles for which this neat sum will
be paid. The contract calls for build
ing material, brick. lumber etc, and
if suitable rates can be secured over
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad,
Mr.. Berry will ship the articles through
Pensacola to Havana. where they will
be used in constructing buildings. The
delivery of the material will cover a
period of five years, and Mr.. Berry esti-
mates that he will employ regularly
about 125 men every day for that
length of time.

FROM WATER FRONT
STEAMBOAT TWO STATES WILL
NOT BE OUT BEFORE OCT. 10.
DELAY IN GETTING ENGINES.
1T WILL TAKE ABOUT TEN DAYS
TO SET THEM UP.

Vessels Bound south Seek Shelter in
the HarbOrs About the Capes.
ShipbuiIding Statistics-Matters of
Interest to Shippers and Mariners.
owing to delay in the arrival of the
engines the steamboat Two States will
not be ready for service before Oct 10.
1t was hoped until a short time ago to
have her ready for the Savannah-Au-
gusta line during the present month,
but the failure of the engines to get
here is responsible for the delay. The
Two States is now at Rourke & Sons
DOCKS where everything is in readiness
to set up the engines as soon as they
arrive. 1t is understood this work will
require aboN ten days after their ar,
rival.
While the company is being delayed
some it's agents are putting in good
time looking out for business. 1t is
claimed they have large amount of
business booked, or which they will
get as soon as the new boat goes into
commission. Heretofore the through
business to Augusta has been con-
trolled largely by the Southern Trans
portation Company, but the Savannah
River Company claim they will get a
later increase this part of their bust
ness. 1t turns out that the recent talk
about any sort of agreement between
the warning companies is an error, and
so far as the public knows each is
looking out for itself.
Advices from London state that Eng
lish shipbuilderS in August put into the
water 81 vessels, of about 1883 tons
inc af oh
1856 tons gross in July; 20 vessels, of
about 1852 tons gross, in August last
year; 21' vessels, of about 65,2 63 tons
gross, in August. 1899; SO vessels, of
about S2,60S tons gross, in August,
1898, and Il vessels. of about 1922 tons
gross. in August, 1897.
Reports just received show that dur
ing August Scotch shipbuilders launch
ed % vessels of about SIS, $50 tons gross,
as compared with 27 vessels of about
1894 tons gross in July, and 29 vessels
of about 3S,lS5 tons gross in August
last year. In the eight months Scotch
builders have launched 1856 vessels of
about 354,S26 tons gross, against S21,-
800 tons gross in the corresponding
period of last year, about 9710 tons
gross in 1899 and about 274,463 tons
gross in 1898.
Many vessels are now in the differ
ent harbors at the Capes. Because of
the gale their crews have had great
difficulty in having their anchors hold.
The craft consist mainly of schooners
and ocean-going tugboats, with their
barges. There was great haste on the
part of the CAPTAINS of vessels bound
up and down the coast to get shelter
in the bay. Some vessels which had put
to sea returned to the Breakwater 1t
was with great difficulty that collisions
were avoided, for not only was the
wind blowing a gale, but the weather
was hazy at the time.

most horrible accident in the history
of Moultrie occurred Friday night when
]. A. McTeer, a we'll known citizen of
Moultrie was run over by a 7. T., &
G.. passenger train, which literally
ground him to pieces. The killing took
place at the North Broad street cross
ing as the o'clock train was coming
in. The engineer and fireman seem
to not have seen the man and there is
no evidence as to how it occurred. The
crossing is about 200 yards from the
depot and the train must have been
slowing up. McTeer had just left a
saloon up town in an intoxicated mood,
and the sad inference is that when he
attempted to cross the track he stun
bled and fell being unable to regain
his feet. About twenty minutes after
the train had pulled out, a negro
walking down the track discovered the
badly mangled body and reported the
matter to Agent Melton. 1t was a
gruesome sight, both legs and arms
cut off and skull split wide open, body
broken and bruised. 1t was with some
difficulty the remains were recognized,
