onlv a person of a very investigative
I'm Of mind stops to think, on seeing
IN orange crate or a banana drum,
~, whence comes the almost trans
-ent wood from which the recepta-
LES are made. or of the process en-
loved. AS a matter of fact, the man
lecture of the crates and drums is a
most interesting thing to see, nor
,,.ouId a Savannahian have to go far
for many thousands of crates used in
,acling fruit and vegetables are made
+,,et without the city limits.
The process employed in its manu-
4acture includes the operation of a saw
mill steam rooms, veneering machines
end drying racks. In one end of the
building one sees the crude log, which
has but recently been fioated for prob
ably forty miles down the river. while
in the other end of the same building
he finds the log transferred into thin
sheets of wood. some of which are but
GA inch in thickness. The machin-
cry, of course, is very expensive, for,
though massive. it is delicate. The
huge driving wheels turn alike the
huge drag saw and the razor blade,
which shaves the strips off as thin as
tissue paper. OF course the thinnest
grade is not used for making crates
and boxes.
The Pierpont Manufacturing Com
many supplies the local market with
all the boxes, crates, drums and buck
cts used. Nor is this the extent of its
trade, for during the year thousands
and thousands of pineapple crates have
been shipped to Cuba; orange boxes
have been sent to far-away Jamaica
and the New York market is literally
supplied by this enterprising concern
The number of packages sold through
out Georgia, Florida and Virginia is
enormous. All the buckets used by
the Southern Cotton Oil Company are
made by this company.
The factory has three distinct de-
partments of manufacture, those OF
boxes, crates and buckets. When the
huge logs have been floated down the
river they are hauled up from the
stream by heavy chains. These logs
are divided into two piles
the better timber being used
in the veneering machines, while the
knotty and less select is used in max
ing boxes. The selected material is
cut into sections and put in a steam
room, where it remains for twenty
four hours. 1t is then taken out ano
placed in the veneering machine. Wher
the wood is veneered, so hot is it, that
1t burns ones hand. This is caused
from the twenty-four hours in the
steam room. The veneered wood il
rolled into large drums. used in pack.

A WAVE OF HEAT.
sOutherIy Winds Are Giving saV"n-
nah Plenty of 1t.

SOufherIY W1nAS are
nah Plenty of 1t.
To Savannahians there is little about
the October weather to remind them
that the fall has come. The magazines
are full of poetry about the falling
leaves, and the weather reports tell OF
frosts and even snow out in the West
but to the average person in this To-
cality it seems that summer has been
lingering in the lap of autumn over
long.
The first four days of the month
have been very oppressive, and yeSter-
day was the worst of all. The rec
ords at the local weather office do not
indicate anything to complain of in
the way of temperature, but the hu-
midity has been excessive. Yesterday
the maximum registered by the mer-
curry was but Sc, at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon and the minimum at Z a. m.
was 70, giving a mean for the day OF
rs. The normal, that is the average,
for a number of years is u, the ex-
cess for the day being therefore, de-
grees On the other hand the at
mosphere contained IS per cent. OF
humidity which for that temperature Is
very high Altogether the four days
of the month have an accumulated eX-
cess temperature of 10 degrees, which
is not considered large by the weather
men, though it does not fairly indicate
the degree of discomfort felt by the
people who are more disconnected by
the amount of moisture in the air than
by the heat itself
indications are that it will be con-
tinually warm for several days to
come. There is a disturbance in Texas
that has caused a rising of the mer-
curry throughout this section, and its
effects have not yet passed off. The
wind is generally south-southeast, and
this is sure to bring warmth at this
time of the year.

AMERICAN
I|PSTERS
Herr hofeI Says
They Ruin
Orient.

Wherever Americans have travelled
in the Orient they seem to have exert
ed bad influence over the natives In
the way OF raising prices" said Mir

Anheuser Busch Brewing Company, as
he boarded the Hongkong. Maru yes

anese cities and you will find that the
Americans have turned things topsy-
turvy."
MIR HOTEL is returning to st. Louis
after a year in the Orient marketing
the amber wares of the great st. Louis
brewing company. Mr.. Hotels one
complaint is the manner in which
American tourists have caused prices to
soar skyward. The fault with Ameri-
cans is that wherever they go they at
tempt to show on" and their habit Of
tipping far i'm excess of benefits receiv-
ed has increased even that bane Of
travelling. Europeans generally do not
exceed a trip of one-tenth of their bill
in cafes and other places for service
on the other hand. Americans tip en-
tirely out OF all proportion to the cost
of things received When an Ameri-
can goes into cafe and his bill
amounts to fifty or seventy-five cents
In American money, he tells the waiter
TO keep the change OF a dolIar. Peo-
pie following in the wake of these eX-
travagant tipsters usually find out to
their sorrow that they must pay equally
well or put up with poor service.
The ricksha runners even have made
up their minds that when an Ameri-
can appears amongst them he must
be mulcted. They raise the prices and
then expect tips as well. In Manila the
cocheros. instead of being the obsequi-
Gus jehus Of the old Spanish days. have
now become independent beings and IL
they feel that they will not get more
than the regulation fare, refuse to ac-
cept a passenger on the ground that

Why, If / had wished could have been
married about forty thousand times
during the war;" said Miss Martin a
passenger who went through on the
Canadian Australian line steamer yes
terday. Miss Martin Is a New Zealand
first contingent of troops from the is
land colony, and saw great number OF
the big battles Of the war.
But battles and bloodshed did not i'm
press her half es much as did the doz-
ems of British "Tommies" who wished
to leave the Beers to their own re-
sources and turn around and capture
the nurses heart.
Miss Martin Is original in her manner
of speaking OF love. you must under
stand" she said, that l am not senti-
mental and do not believe in much
love. l am not much to look at. l am
very large and why In the name OF
goodness every soldier wanted me to
become his wife is more than / can
make out. But they all made such re-
quests. When a soldier was wounded
and / had occasion to assist In dressing
his wounds, about the first sentence he
would utter after again becoming con-
scious, would be something like this:
God bless you, nurse; you can have me
for the rest Of my lfe-we'H get
home and settle down."
The nurse declared that she could
stand bullets, the noise Of saucy pom
pom gun, or the whistling of big smells,
but when IL came to these soldie" pro-
posals on the battlefield she usually be-
came very angry.
1T was funny, too" said Miss Mar
tin, ito see the kind Of fellows who
would propose. one little fellow who
was not more than third my size,

pick him up and carry him around In
my arms, yet he insisted that l should
marry him, so that he could be In a po-
sition TO protect me. The idea! What
nonsense ! might have taken pity on
him and married him to protect him"
Miss Martin says that several incl
dents of the war go 10 show that nurs-
ing IN war times is now far less diff
cult than II was few years ago. She
considers that the style OF arms used
and new ones that are constantly COM
ing on into use will change the COM

She believes that nurses Will be used

to cast ballot at the next election.
Under those conditions he said he
would run. Nivas agreed with the re-
marks of Andrade and there was some
thing of sensation before the end of
his remarks, which brought from An
drade the declaration that he wanted
fair play.
} Silva said from the statement of An
drade it would appear that no one but
himself had brought into the club men
who could not be American citizens
He claimed that he had kept within the
constitution and bylaws, and in the
case of the man whom Andrade men
toned he had asked the man for his
name and there was nothing but what
was fair and above the board in the
transaction. As to the declaration of
Andrade that he had made the state
ment without thought of prejudice to
any one, Silva declared that this was
false, and that the object of Andrade
was to hurt him (Silva).
The chairman read the rules and de-
cided that the intent was that only vot-
ers should cast a ballot for the nomi-
nees, and appointed j. X. NUNS, a. G.
Silva and F. j. Durao as judges. The
rule providing for two-thirds vote for
endorsement was set aside and plural
ity alone provided. Chairman Camara
left the presiding officers place anu
called Jason Andrade to fill it, and then
the ballotng began. There was "A farce
made of part of this in that the votes
of several men We're challenged and
they were called upon to write their
names, one Of these being Editor Pc

challenged but there was little notice
taken to this and IL became a joke.
Meantime votes We're cast by young
men who declared that tuey were only
eighteen years of age, and several times
there was some difficulty In finding
how the voters stood on the educational
qualification.
The result of the balloting was the

NOT A CITIZEN.
But Pittsfield Man Held Many Public
Uffices-,Just NaturaIized.


In the list of men who were made citi-
tion at the April term of the supreme
court, in York county, was the name of
Frank W. Hovey, of Biddeford. Few OF
those who read the name gave more than
passing thought to it, and yet there
was connected with 1t one OF the most
interesting stories that has been brought
to light in Maine for long time.
Frank w. Hovey was born In New
Brunswick, but when very small child
his parents moved to Maine, where they
and be have since lived. AS the boy grew
to manhood he began the study Of law,
and In due course OF time was admitted
to practice in the bar of Somerset county,
and located in the town OF Pittsfeld,
where he practiced for a number of years.
After while he became possessed OF
the desire to hold public Office, and an
nounced himself as a candidate for the
position OF county attorney of Somer-
set. Being progressive young man and
one that was we'll liked, his candidacy
was successful and he Was elected to the
office, holding it for number of years.
After this he was member OF the State
house of representatives from Pittsfield
for number OF terms, and OF the State
Senate from Somerset county for one or
two terms. He also held the offices of
notary public and trial justice in Pitts
deid for number OF years.
Several years ago he removed from
al =
where be has since resided. Some time
ago 1t became known that Mr.. Hovey
was not citizen of the country, and so
he proceeded to secure the necessary
papers to become one.
