The expression of satisfaction made in the official
declaration Of the contamination of the agreement
will probably be felt not only by those interested
in the companies directly interested but M well by
the producers, for it is understood that while u

holders in this company the high prices that they
received for their product while the fight on,

have accrued in other directions.
Probably the greatest source of loss il to be

take new timber leases and making other prep

Last week, before the enormous holdings of naval
stores in the hands of the Naval Stores Export Com
pany were turned into cash. there was a tightness
in the money market that was keenly felt by the
business men of Jacksonville.
Business was beginning to feel the strain, and
1t was welcome to those engaged in other pur

large accumuations of naval stores had been turned
into cash by the arrangement entered into between

PLAYED PRETTY GAME AND LOST
How Things Went When the News Got Out That

There being NO REAL INFORMATION in the
carefully censorized notice sent to the press by the
gentlemen who recently agreed about naval stores,
which carefully censorized notice was published in
both daily newspapers here the following from the
Savannah Morning News of Monday iast is pre-
sented to those who may be interested in knowing
what did happen.
that was printed in this journal last week, no part
of which has been denied.
Though the details of the agreement reached by
the warning interests have not been made public by
the persons chiefly interested it is understood from
well informed circles that the stock taken over con-
sists in part of about $4,000 casks of spirits OF tr
pentine, taken basis of about 81 cents gallon
the market price at the close of trading Saturday;
and that the remainder of the holdings consisting
of rosin, taken at a figure slightly under that
quoted for the various grades at the close OF last
weeks market.
1t is further believed that the agreement in
cludes clause relative to minimum price, to which
the market shall be allowed to 60. In fact it was
stated yesterday by of the members OF factor
age firm largely interested in the settlement, that
producers guaranteed for the future much bet
ter price for their stuff than the average price 1t has
brought in during the last five years, though it is
not to be expected that the price of rosin will
again reach the level that obtained Just before the
break few weeks ago, this level being possible only
through the abnormal conditions that prevailed at
the time, the result Of the fight that has just been
ended.

How Times Have Changed.

The time was when a mer- chant kept his account by cut ting notches on a broom handle or by making marks on the door, but the curtain rises on steam boats, railroads, telephones, wire less telegraphy, trusts and mo- nopolies-
 Now the spirit of the age, even self-preservation, demands that the merchant, the farmer, the lawyer, the doctor, the teach CT, even the preacher, should all have a business training and un- derstand commercial paper and the science of accounts not alone for it's culture value, but to be able to transact business without being feeced.
 Experience is not a free school. We must all pay our tulClOn. Every young person should know that the quickest, easiest and the least expensive of getting this training is to take a busl- ness course in some up-to-date commercial school that not only teaches the theory of bookkeep- ing, but business training as we'll.
 The best time is now. The best place is at the Memphis Commercial College, 46 N. Sec ond street, Memphis, Tenn, the largest Commercial, Telegraphy and Shorthand school of this sec tion, and the only one teaching a system of bookkeeping that is actual business from start to finish. This school is also noted for it's up-to-date department of Telegraphy and it's success with the famous Byrne Simpllfled Shorthand.

FINES FOR JOKE.
Italians Would Have Bought Baby Candy
 and Are hoty Pursued by Mob

Jonesboro, Sept. 10. - Much excitement was caused in this city Friday morning when Mrs. John Scott, who lives in the west part of town, went running up the street, followed by her mother, both screaming that two Italians had stolen Mrs. Scott's baby. The cries of the women attracted the attention of hun dreds of people, and soon every policeman and every other peace officer were in hot pursuit of the supposed kidnapers.
 Finally one of the officers came across the men with the child and it was found that they had only taken it up to buy it some candy.
 They were each placed under arrest and carried before Justice of the Peace Barnett and fined for disturbing the peace in the sum of S1O and the costs. The fines were paid and the prisoners released. They gave their names
