WOOD TURPENTINE
NEVER A RIVAL.
Local Factors Do Not Fear the New
Process.


A special to the New York Com
mercial from New Orleans says: Char
les NJ. Dobson, who has been expert
menting for fifteen months on the pro-
cess for the utilization of pine refuse
by extracting from it turpentine and
other chemical by-products, arrived
here to-day and states that he has
organized the Wood Distillates & Fibre
Co.. capitalized at 100000, Incorporated
in Arizona. Headquarters are in Chica-
go. A number of Chicago and Louis
lana lumbermen are associated in the
enterprise. 1t is the company's in
tention to make commercial use of Mr..
Dodson's process and a plant will be
established in connection with every
pine mill that will guarantee a sutfi-
cient quantity of refuse.
The first plant will be established in
Lake Charles. La, on May /. Others
will go up later all through Louisiana,
Texas and Mississippi. Mr.. Dobson
says that inside of two years the com
pany will control the turpentine out
put OF the country"
Several we'll known naval stores men
seen yesterday said that the use of the
so-called wood turpentine will never
be practicable, for the reason that it
cannot be deodorized.
The experiment has been tried said
Mr.. John R. Young, and has been
weighed in the balances and found
wanting.
What the plant. and oil men want
is pure turpentine. and nothing up to
date has been found to take its place"

MEMBER OF IRISH LEAGUE
TO VISIT SAVANNAH.
COnOr O'KeIIy, NJ. p, Who Is Now in
This Country, VIII Come.

ConOr O'KelIy, VI. p, Who Is Now in
This Country, VIII Come.
1t is very probable that in short
time Savannah will have the oppor-
tunity of entertaining another distin-
guished Irishman in the person of Mr..
Conor O'Kelly, M. P, who is now in
this country in the interest of the Unit
ed Irish League, and who contemplated
a trip through the South before re-
turning home.
Capt. M. J. Doyle, to whose efforts,
chiefly, is due the formation of a
branch of the Irish League in this
city, has received letter from Secre-
tary John O'Callaghan, of the national
organization, who states that Mr..
O'Kelly reached this country on March
2. and it is yet too early to say what
the programme of his visit will be,
but that there is already an urgent
call for his services in all parts of the
country. and that Savannah's claims
in this direction will not be overlooked
in planning his itinerary.
Secretary O'Callaghan suggests that
Capt. Doyle and the members of the
League branch in this city communicate
with prominent sympathizers of the
Irish cause in Charleston, Atlanta, Ma
con and other cities of this section with
a view to having branches of the
league organized in those cities, so
that when Mr.. O'Kelly visits the South
he will find the work in good shape.
Speaking of Mr.. O'Kelly, Mr.. OCal-
laghan says: You will find him a
bright intellectual fellow, substantial
ly of the same type as Mr. Devlin, and
about his age. / am sure he will prove

did"

Company Turned Up With Only Two
Men Missing from Ranks.
Two commands of the colored troops,
Company A and Company were in
spected in the Harris Street Hall last
night by Col. William @. Obear, In
spector General G. S. T., and Maj. +.
H. French, United States Inspector G.
S. T. Both commands made very
creditable showing.
Company A had out forty-eight men
out of an enlisted strength of so and
the two absent were accounted for,
one on the ground that he was sick,
and the other that he was attending
funeral out of the city.
Company D turned out forty-three
men out of forty-nine. The men drill
ed very we'll, both by the customary
commands and by bugle commands.
Two more of the colored companies
will be inspected tonight and the
third, the Georgia Artillery, to-mor-

PECULIAR CASE AGAINST
CENTRAL OF GEORGIA.
No similar Case Is on Record in
Ordinary's Court.

Ordinary's Court.
In the Court of Ordinary yesterday
Mrs. Margaret Shelley petitioned
Judge McAlpin to issue a rule order
ing the Central of Georgia Railway
Company to appear and show cause
why it should not comply with the law
and file the indenture of apprenticeship
of her son with the Ordinary, and fur
nish a duplicate copy to the petitioner.
The case in point is one without prece-
dent in the Ordinary's Court.
The petitioner states that on March
5, 1908, she apprenticed her son, a
minor to the Central of Georgia. The
law requires that in such cases the
indenture of apprenticeship be filed
with the Ordinary, and that a dupli-
cate copy be furnished the minor, or
his guardian. Neither of these has been
done, and the petitioner therefore prays
the court to issue the rule.
When the petition was filed the rec
ords were at once consulted, and not
only was there no record of the in
denture in question, but no record of
any. The case is one entirely without
precedent in Judge McAlpin's court.
The petitioner is represented by At
torney T. G. Basinger.

II have sometimes thought that the
grand jurors confronting the baleful
organization of crime and criminals,
should be animated by some of the
spirit of old Cromwell, who, as he
drew his sword at Dunbar, shouted,
in the words of the psalmist Let
God arise, let His enemies be scat
tered 1t is sometimes true when our
grand jury has finished with them
those enemies are scattered.
but in the presence of all this pros
perity, is not the spirit of lawless-
ness, which is abroad in the land like
the grinning skull of the skeleton ever
present amid the flowers and wines,
the music and merriment of Roman
banquet? Is it not we'll for US, like the
mariner at sea, sometimes to take our
bearings and ascertain our progress
on the course of civilization? l will
not harrow you by the evidence that
a revival in the enforcement of law
and in the punishment of crime is in
dispensable to our present and our
future. Although it might be offered
mountains high, single illustration
will l give. But little while ago,
by accident, 1t came to me in voice
out of the night, speaking the anguish
of a woman's heart. Who was she /
know not, nor would l know. l had
gone to the telephone, when, by the
mysterious induction of electricity, the
message to another came to my ear.
1t was to her husband. She said, in
tones whose pathos win ring ever in
my memory: Here ] am late at night,
alone with the children. l am lonely
and frightened as / can be. And there
you are gambling. Won't you please
come home?
Laws a Dead Letter.
"Ah, gentlemen, these simple pite-
Gus words, accidentally heard, are but
family expressive of the agony of
many thousand gentle hearts, hearts
of mothers, wives and children, occa-
stoned by many forms of crime which
go unwhipped of justice Why? Be
cause the laws enacted by the repre-
sentatives of a pious. high-minded peo-
pie. not in one place, but in many
places are practically a dead letter.
Oh, what evangels of civilization, what
messengers of life and love to many
now miserable homes, what advance
agents of a prosperity yet unknown,
would be those officers of the law who
would, as they easily can do, stamp
into nothingness these hydraheaded
monsters of crime who fatten on the
anguish of deserted wives and the cries
of starving children! Is it not time
for the people to awaken, not with a
spasm of virtue, but with a steady,
immovable, constant purpose to en-
force all the laws, state and national,
so wisely enacted for the general well
fare? If they but arouse themselves it
is easily within their power The fault
is in ourselves, not in our stars that
we are underlings.
Let us, gentlemen, in the limited
time of our duty here. see to it that
no guilty man escapes, and that no
innocent man is punished. Duty said
Robert E. Lee, is the noblest word in
any language That is our duty"
