LONG LIFE

These two words sum up and combine
all Of the qualities and may be said to
cover the undsputed claim we make
for all cells of Delta manufacture. 1t
is the life of battery, in rout of use,
that fixes its actual cost and real value
i'm dollars and cents. The more cells
you use, the more the yearly outlay FOR
batteries to do il given amount Of work
is the figure that determines which cell
is costing you the least money.
trial is the most convincing argument
we can suggest.

kiss after kiss on his lips. He is
sworn not to tell his fellows what has
happened and then permitted to go

 There was a further distribution of crop estimates from unofficial sources today, one for a yield Of 1l.7s0.e0e bales py proml- nent New York operator. another by one hundred members of the savannah Cotton Exchange. who averaged probable size crop at 12,1S3. 900. and one by an empioye of the government, who placed the year s growth at 12. 9s0. .000, linters included. There was also launched an estimate by the South ern statistical bureau of Waco.

sAvANNAH LUMBER REVIEW.

Savannah, Dec 5.-(special )--Considering the general condition Of the lumber business at Savannah. that is so far the actual receipts of the material were concerned it Is little wonder that the volume should prove much smaller when the congestion of Freight is considered this of course influ- encing the actual car supply since those loaded at the port and tied up aiong the railroad lines cause the shortage problem to become daily more acute.
 At this time the demand for equipment Tar exceeds the supply. This of course Is causing local 1umbarnaen much coneern and to add to the misery" General Superintend- eht Hixs of the Seaboard Air Line. who was In Savannah the later part Of the week gave out an interview in which he placed the entire blame for the congestion on the shoulders of the local lumber Interests. Nat ursliy this caused quite stir in the ranks and very spirited reply to the effort of MT Hix was gotten up at the instance of Prestdent Stillwell Of the Board of Trade
 In their reply the IumBernen asserted tbat they were not to blame; that cars uf material arriving at the port during August had not been delivered ysts that they found It impossible to get prompt service from the roads both as regarding the furnishing "empties" and in placing the cars after arrival at the port and that the trouble was traceable rather to lack of equipment and poor management the part of the railroad officials
 Everything considered it was one of the most strenuous weeks in recent times and lumbermen are yet rather hot over the matter.
