FOR , HOME INDUSTRY
BOARD or nxvxNuE WILL "A
 TRoNIzE LOCAL DEALERS.
Resolution Adopted Yesterday Direct
 ing That All Supplies Be Pur- chased Herr When Prices are
 Equal-1outine Work.

The Board of Revenue of Montgomery County yesterday agreed that all county supplies should be bought from Mont gomery bushes, msii., if the local men could meet the prices of foreign compe- titien.
 As a part of the agreement. the Board passed a resolution instructing Clerk C. A. Allen to notify the county officials to purchase blank books and stationery from Montgomery dealers. if they could be bought as cheapIy here. The Board further agreed that tt would not pay for supplies bought out of the city tf 1t could be proved that they were offered for sale in this city at the same price
 The resolution was offered by Comuais- sioner John C. Carter. He said that com plaint had been made to him that foreign houses had been given the preference in the purchase of some supplies. He did not know. he said. that the complaint was well founded. hut he did know that ift1he supplies could he purchased In Montsom- cry at the same price the local dealers should have the adv antage of the trade. He moved that Clerk Allen be instructed to notify the county officials that all sup plies should be bought in this city when there was no /diffr renee in price. He moved further that the Board decline to pay for supplies when it was proved that they could be bought in Montgomery for the same price.
 Commissioner W. D. Brown said this had been attempted once before, but the Board had experienced some dlfiiculty in enforcing 1t. and he could not say that the result was satisfactory as to afilxing tho penalty. Still. he had no objection to the resolution and voted for it. : Complaint was made to the Board that the Wares Ferry Road in some places was not fin good condition and was badly in need of work. The Board instructed Foreman W. H. Reeves to make the nec- essary repairs. The Board agreed that 1t was . bad policy to jump the road work ing outfits from one road to another be- fore all the work on the first road was completed, and gave instructions that hereafter the road working outfits were to be kept on one road until all repairs on that road had been completed.
 Superintendent Colquitt reported to the Board the Tabernacle road was In Dad condition. There was no overseer on that road and bridge was needed badly over the Ball branch. He was given permis- zion to apcoint an ovcrseer and to have a bridge built over the branch.
 c. D. Johnson complained to the Board that the road leading from the main Wares Ferry road to the river was in an unsatisfactory state. with badly washed places in it. After some discus sion. instructions were given for the nec- essary repairs.
 - A number of bills against the county for the month of April were audited and passed.

Martin has just returned from at- tendance upon the United States Court at Huntsville. and after concluding his engagements there, went to his old home at Scottsboro on few days visit. and in that way the rumor originated and the item was sent out from Scottsboro that he was being urged to run for Governor. He declined to be interviewed further than to say what Is quoted above.
 Mir, Martin did not say so, but 1t was Inferred from the conversation with him that there was lenty of time yet, but that if the pressure was great enough, he might be induced to enter the race, and if he should do 90, ne would have a larg , dnd enthusiastic following. The matter of registering the voters will not be con cluded until August. and the nomination will not be had until after that time.

was authorized to issue million
dollars worth of bonds to pay for
it. The capitol was begun and
the allowances for work and ma
terials for each month were met
out of the general funds in the
teasury and all of the work has
been paid for up TO date out of
the State treasury, yet the COM
mission has never issued a bond.
The gross amount Of cash paid out
for the new capitol up to date is
S665, 900. The 100000 bond is
sue which the governor called in
have all been paid except about
$4,000. The appropriations for
the common schools has been i'm
creased $3.50, ,000in the past three
years. The appropriation for
pensions has been increased from
$3.50, 900 in the past three years.
The aspiration for pensions has
been increased from $75, 900 year
IN 1899, to 100000 a year for
1902, and 1903. The State has
also paid $4,000 for the new pri-
son farm; has paid $4,000 for Im-
provements at insane hospital
and like sum for improvements
at the Agricultural and Mechanic
al college. Besides these enor-
nous expenditures, all being extra
and appropriations over the regu-
lar amounts, the Legislature has
largely increased the appropria-
tions for all schools and colleges
and all the charitable institutions
of the State. The extra expen-
ditures on account of these in
creased appropriations have all
been met and paid, and the tax
levy has been reduced at the same
time from 616 to 6 mills. AT the
treasury office this morning Treas
urer Carlisle stated that the bal
ance in the treasury today was in
round numbers $210,000, which
amount is in bullion. Treasurer
Carlisle said that there was moth
ing in sight that he was aware of
which would necossitate a bond
issue.

the piney Woods Georgia and
Florida Forests Exhausted.

The jump in the price of turpen-
tine has caused tho establishment
OF large number Of new distille-
ries in the piney woods section of
this State, and grave fears are se-
rlously entertained by the turpen-
tine industry.
There is a heavy demand for
Mississippi turpentine at present,
and there are good grounds for the
fear that within few years there
will be no pine left for turpentine
purposes. Georgia and Florida
forests are reported to be wellnigh
exhausted, and the dealers and
exporters Of the spirits are looking
to Mississippi to maintain the
supply.
Spurred to effort by the high
prices, the distillcrs are running
their plants day and night to keep
pace with the demand, and heavy
inroads are being made on the
forests. Turpcntine is quoted
firm in South Mississippi at Az
cents, and rosin is quoted from
$l.25 to $3.50, according to grade.
