TRUCK FARMS

Sundays DeIuge Lett the Fields in
Bad Condition.
Growers of truck in the neighborhood
of Savannah went out to their farms
yesterday morning expecting to find
great damage from the storm of Sun
day. They were agreeably surprised,
however, when it appeared that the
losses were not likely to be heavy, and
that moderate weather, without too
rapid an increase in temperature
would bring them out fairly well. The
wind had whipped the pea vines about
ruthlessly, but in many cases no act
ual damage had been done them, and
a few days of fair weather will
straigthen them out again. In all of
the low places much water was still
standing all day yesterday, and it was
from this excess of water that the
greatest danger is feared.
IF the weather should come out real
warm, right away" said a prominent
trucker, there is great danger from
rotting, as the young vegetables can
not stand being in water many days
without serious injury. AS it continued
cool and partly cloudy to-day and the
indications were that the mercury
would remain low Tuesday, we are en-
couraged to think that no great losses
will occur from the flooding. There are
very slight chances only that the cold
OF the present may do damage in it.

ana IL Will Get Warmer Soon.
1t was anything but the good, old
summer time yesterday and light
clothes and straw hats, with few ex-
ceptions, had to be put on the shelf.
But there is no danger of a visit from
Jack Frost and the lighter garments
can probably be worn with comfort to-
morrow.
The chilling winds and fall weather
were the aftermath of the northeaster
that swept over this section Sunday.
II caused quite a drop in temperature
and forced those who were previous to
dig deep for their OVerCOats and furS.
Not that il was a cold day, but it was
a rather disagreeable one, with mer-
curry degrees below the average. The
storm itself swept on up the coast and
was central last night between Norfolk
and Washington, greatly diminished in
intensity, however.
Because of the drop in temperature
many expressed the fear that there
would be frost, and that vegetation
would suffer to no little extent. Ere
quent inquiry was made at the Wealth
er Bureau and the Morning News. and
the information given out by Observer
Boyer was encouraging. The minimum
temperature LOT the Jay was IeCOi ueu
at 6 a. m, when mercury registered 50
degrees. The high-water mark was
reached at 3 p. m. with 50 degrees.
After that it grew cooler again, but
there was no decided drop, and there
is no danger of mercury going any
where near the freezing point. Fair
weather is predicted for to-day, and
the temperature will gradually rise
probably making April Fools Day

| SaIIies of Wit by Court and Counsel
OccasiOned Some Mcrriment.
An amusing incident. one which re-
calls a similar one some years age
when Judge Bowman was on the
bench. occurred in the United States
District Court yesterday in the case
of Charles a. Lamb, who was charged
with Illicit distilling. The defendant
stood before the bar of justice, and
after hearing the indictment read, was
called upon to plead. Upon his reply
ing that he was not guilty of the
offense charged, the court asked
whether he had an attorney.
NO, sir, haven't any attorney" he
replied.
Have you any witnesses?"
mo, sir; 1 haven't any witnesses"
Have you any money!"

Then" said the court you are in a
pretty predicament, unless the court

trict attorney, with due Difference,
that the court not undertake the de-
Tense himself but rather, appoint some
one to conduct it,"
The court remarked that he recalled
the disaster attending Judge Bow
mans attempt to defend a prisoner,
and forthwith appointed one of the
younger members of the bar as attor-
ney for the defense. The young bar
rister acquiesced in the appointment by
rising from his chair. Meanwhile
Lamb, who had been directed toward
his attorney by the marshal, walked
over to the attorney as if to confer
with him. The attorney said nothing,
but remained standing.
THE gentlemen appointed remains
silent" observed the court. II presume
this is an instance, as in holy writ,
where the Lamb is before his shearer

tured the young barrister, who had
caught the reply of the prisoner to the
courts query anent finances, there
is naught to be SHARED"
The instance referred to by the court,
wherein Judge Bowman undertook the
defense of a prisoner was in the case
of one July Dasher. an old negro who
was charged with illicit distilling. The
Judge from the bench questioned the
various witnesses for the government
with such a degree of success as to
practically insure the vindication of his
client. Finally the government closed
it's case, and the prisoner stated that
he had a witness. The testimony of this
witness was so damaging, that the Judge
was forced to find his client guilty.
1--WE had a pretty good case, July"
said the court in passing sentence, "un-
til we put our own witness up. The
court is obliged to impose a sentence.
In view of the fact that some one
has blundered', however, that sentence
will be suspended, with the admonition
that in the future you engage a lawyer
to look after your witnesses"

NAVAL STORES YEAR
WILL CLOSE WITH BUSINESS OF
TODAY.
SAVANNAH STILL LEADS
FIGURES FOR LARGEST MARKET
IN THE WORLD.

Because the Zone of Production Is
Gradually Moving Southwark a
Considerable Amount of Business
Is Taken from This POrt-It Is
a Natural Result Following the
Exhaustion of the Pine Forests
and Will Be Noted Even More Par
ticuIarly Next SeasOn-NO Fault
of savannah's Business Men or
Methods.
To-day is the closing day of probably
one of the most eventful seasons in the
history of the naval stores trade, and
certainly the most important during
Savannah's connection with the indus
try. From the Carolinas the drift of
pine forest operations have come along
with the steadiness of the tides until
Savannah's turn came. This port has
handled these products satisfactorily
for many years and still does so, but
the season now closing marks the first
southwark steps of the industry.
Savannah has furnished every facil-
ity for the prompt handling of the
product, and for this reason there has
never been any desire on the part of
either producer or factor to seek any
other market.
No Lack of Money.
Ample funds are furnished here,
tonnage and the rates for
ocean freight room have been thor
oughly satisfactory, and as long as the
country was under operation within
reasonable bounds of this city the de-
sire was to send the business here. This
desire still exists, and only where the
differences are too great do producers
ship elsewhere. This resulted from the
fact that the producing forests have
been getting farther away year by
year, until the virgin timber is now
to be found mainly in Southern Ala
bama and Florida South Georgia has
some, but the fact this state has been
the largest producer of naval stores
for many years has resulted in a deple-
ton of its pine forests and has attract
ed the attention of the trade to the
virgin timbers in other sections.
Less Than in 1902.
The receipts and exports of naval
stores at this port are less than they
were during 1902, which is attributed
to the lesser production. Early last
season factors strove to impress pro-
ducers with the Importance of holding
down production if prices were to be
maintained, and every business effort
that could be used was applied to re-
duce the "cut" for this season., with
the result that prices have been boost
ed to high point, and have been kept
there for some time. Turpentine reach
ed Csc, the highest of the season, and
for the past two months it has held
firm and unchanged at this figure.
Resins have been relatively higher,
with the demand of a wholesome sort,
and the daily offerings quickly wiped
up from day to day. Yesterdays state
ment at the Board of Trade of receipts
and exports to date follows:

A Prosperous Season.

For the producer this season has been
prosperous one, with conditions more
favorable to them for operating upon
profitable scale. Provisions were low
er, horses and mules could be bought
for less, farm implements of all kinds
were not so dear, and labor conditions
were decidedly better than they were
last season. Then producers were fore
ed to saunter about the country and
beg men to work, but during the pres
ent year labor has sought employ
ment, and it was this that made it
more profitable for employers Labor
conditions such as those of last sea-
son, when turpentine hands consented
to work only after persuasion were cal
culated to put producers in trouble.
They find labor most satisfactory when
1t seeks employment.
Savannah continues the worlds lead
ing market for naval stores. and
through her factors and exporters
handles these products to the satisfac-
ton OF consumers, both here and
abroad.

This seems a pretty big price to pay
for a single bottle of medicine, and yet
if you consider the matter rightly. II
is a very cheap price Tor a bottle OF

Here is what fixes its value:
First. No man can die of fever who

Second. No other medicine can cure

500 is dirt cheap for this wonderful
medicine, and yet you can buy it for SO
