NEW INVENTION
FOR TURPENTINE MEN

new invention for securing gum
from the pine will be placed on the
market shortly, and promises, accord
ing to the statement of it's inventor
and others who have seen it, to revo-
lutionize the gathering of naval stores
The invention is the Gardner tube,
tin tube 2la inches in diameter and 18
inches long, which has an orifice some
ten inches long through which the drip
pings from the tree are caught, and
cap on one end, through which they
are removed from the tube. The vessel
will hold three pints.
With what favor the new system is
looked on may be gathered from the
fact that though shown TO but a very
few persons they are satisfied of it's
value that already orders have been
received for 1000, 500 tubes, and a COM
pany with $4,000 of capital will be
formed this week to manufacture them.
This company will be named the Gard
ner Turpentine Tube Company. and
will not only have its headquarters at
Savannah, but viii erect q plant here.
Mr.. j. G. Gardner, the inventor of
the tube, passed through Savannah
yesterday en- route to Wilmington, Del,
where he will secure the machinery for
the Savannah plant. This it is expect
ed will have a capacity of 1901 900 tubes
q day and Will employ at the outset
fifty hands 1t is thought that so soon
as the tubes have been placed on the
open market the factory viii have to
be run full time the year round in Or
der to meet the demand for them.
1t is probable that after this work is
got well under way, however, the
plant win utilize its spare material in
the making of various articles of tim
ware. The company, which is COM
posed almost entirely Of Savannahians,
will file its petition for a charter this
week, and will begin at once to look
for a suitable site for the plant. Be
cause Of the pressure for orders the
first lot of tubes will be made at Bal
timore to fill an order that has already
been placed for 21,000 for immediate
delivery

Col. George II. Cam, Inspector Cen

the Receipt of the RifIes-His Ad-
vice as to Their Distribution Ask
ed-UnderstOOd That He Will Adj
wise That Eight of the Rifles BE
Given to Each Company in the
state Service That May Have One
or More SharpshOOters.
The first lot of Krag- Jorgensen rifles
received by the National Guard in the
South, and among the first to be al
lotted to the National Guard in any
part of the country will be received In
Savannah this week. This announce
ment will be received with delight by
the military, who have been anxiously
awaiting the arrival of the new guns

There are but 100 of the new rifles
to be distributed among the 5000 troops
in the state and Adjt. Gen. Robertson
has written to Col. George I. Cann'

the Georgia state troops, requesting
him to indicate in what manner the
distribution shall be made. The Krags

BY reason of the fact that there are
seventy-seven companies in the state,
the task devolving on Col. Cam 10
determine the most equitable and feas-
ible manner of distribution was not an
easy one Col Cam, it is understood,
has advised the adjutant general, that
in view OF the small allotment ana
the ends sought by the early dlstrlDu-
ton, the fairest plan is to distribute
the rifles only among such companies
in the state service as have sharp
shooters in their rank, the division to
be equal between these companies.
Under this procedure. or under any
other plan which might be devised,
Savannah will get the lions share OF
the allotment. When II Is considered
that almost One-third of the military
strength of the state is stationed IN
Savannah, IL win be recognized that
this condition could not, in justice pc
avoided. II the rifles were distributed

LESS THAN ESTIMATED.

Supt. w. b. Denham of the Atlantic
Coast Line returned to Savannah yes
terday after a weeks absence, during
a part of which time he was in Jack
sonville, where he inspected the yards
to see what damage had been done by
the recent storm and flood.
He says that the Coast Line system
got out of the trouble very well, IN
deed, inasmueh as the damage done in
the yards and on the road will not
amount to more than from $500 TO $500,
this despite the fact that it was esti-
mated in Jacksonville that the loss
was near $4,000 1t is true that the
yards were so filed with water hya-
cinths, Supt. Denham says, and that
they had to be carried out by the car

plan outlined by Col. Cam, receive the
Krags probably during the present
week are: The four companies of the
Guards, five companies of the First
Regiment of Infantry. the Oglethorpe
Light Infantry, German Volunteers,
Savannah Cadets, Irish Jasper Greens,
and Republican Blues, and the Geor-
gia Hussars, besides the field and staff
of the latter two commands, all of
which are stationed in Savannah. Be
sides these the commands outside of
Savannah which will receive the Krags
this week are Companies B, G and E
of the Second Infantry and the field
and staff; Companies E. F and G of the
Fourth Infantry and Troop L of the
First Cavalry.
Each of the commands named will
receive eight of the Krags while the
members Of field and staff will received
allotments proportionate to the num-
Der of sharpshooters. 1t will be seen
that Savannah will receive nearly 100
of the Krags.
The movement to obtain the rifles has
been a quiet one, and the military men
of the state, with few exceptions We're
not aware that a requisitiOn of Gov.
Terrell on the War Department had
been honored and that the Krags were
now awaiting distribution in the Capt.
tai City. Col. Cam impressed upon
the AdJutaQC OTeIeFdl lile uISSHCy VI
the need of the new guns for practice,
if the military expected to participate
with them in the coming rifle contests.
AS a result the requisition was made.
VIII Begin Practice.
OF course this is but an advance ldt,
which is sent for the purpose Of pre-
senting an opportunity for practice for
the state, interstate and mayhap, the
national contests. AS the state shoot
will come off in August, and as the OPP
Grafton of the Krag and the rules gov
erning qualification are very different
from those now in vogue, it is impera-
tive that the men get the guns and be-
gin practice on the range which has
been adapted to the use of the Krag,
an 800 and a 1,0O0-yard range having
been added.
The requisition of the Governor for
the guns, and their distribution among
the National Guard of the state, is In
the nature of further evidence of the
fact that Georgia will subscribe to the
conditions of the Dick bin, under
which the distribution is authorized.

Mr. Gardner is a native of Baltimore
but has been in Georgia for some time
experimenting with, and perfecting, his
invention These experiments he has
made in the vicinity of Stillmore, and
it is there, where the operators have
seen the working test of the tube, that
he has received the hurry orders for
an outfit. Among those who most
heartily indorse the system is Mr.. w.
j. Evans, large operator of that Sec
tion, and Mr.. Frank r. burden OF
Monte, general manager, secretary and
treasurer of the Milien and Southwest
ern road, who has made the statement
that this tube will prove the salvation
of the operators and of the forests.
The advantages claimed for the tube
are that being placed close under the
cut, about four inches below all the
drip is virgin, no matter how many
years the trees may be worked there Is
no scraping, no leaking, no evapora-
ton, and, because of the small aper-
ture through which the gum is re-
ceived into the tube, there is no admix-
ture of leaves or dirt, and the drippings
or oVerfiows from boxes, the cause of
frequent and disastrous fires, are elm
mated.
The tube is fitted straight across the
Clipped surface of the tree. one edge
of the orifice being inserted in a cut
made with a single stroke of the ak.
and is supported from below by wire
nail. AS is the case with the present
systems of collecting gum the tree is
Clipped each week to make the flow
of gum continuous, but it is necessary
to move the tube only once a year.
twice at most, if so desired and such
removal can be made without any
trouble.
The cost of enough tubes to work a
crop of trees, 10,500 is but $780, This
means merely the initial cost for the
tubes are staunch, are treated with a
preparation that prevents rust and
will last indefinitely Aside from the
fact that they will save waste they
make it possible to work plantations
that have already been gone over with
the primitive system and abandoned
as no longer profitable, and this fact
alone, it is felt will assure them a
ready sale in all the naval stores pro
ducing states of the country.
