to the west of Gainesville, believes
he has solved the problem of feed
for cattle in Florida Col. Thrasher
has been experimenting with this
forage for the past year, and he de-
clares it to be the best thing for the
Florida stockman that has ever been
discovered.
The forage referred to by Col:
Thrasher is an original product OF
Cuba, and is known as Guinea grass.
1t is very prolific and, says Col:
Thrasher, planted on fairly good land
in this state, will grow thick and heavy
and will reach height of from seven
to ten feet, if permitted to grow un-
molested. Col. Thrasher, through a
friend, heard Of this wonderful grass
in the spring of last year and ordered
from Cuba a small quantity for an
experiment. He planted the seed,
which thrived and grew prol1tlcally,
and which proved as Representatives.

A Fine Forage Plant.

Within the last week we found an
item in one of Our exchanges calling
attention to the fact that Guinea grass
was being exploited as "new forage
plant" but that it was tried years
ago in Alachua county, and that while
it made a wonderful growth the first
year and was relished by stock, it
was so tender that it all winter-killed
the first winter, and was entirely too
tender for most sections of Florida.
The following from the Gainesville
Sun seems to indicate that it has stood
one winter in this state. 1t is ques-
ton, however, whether the grass
grown on this farm is the true Guinea
grass. Our reasons for doubling it
will be found on the editorial page.
The Sun article is as follows:

have succeeded in extracting the tur-
pentine and placing on the market a
material Of fairly good quality. In
the majority of cases, however, the
article has been of an inferior grade,
due generally to the fact that the
technical methods used have been
faulty. AS a result Of this, wood
turpentine is at present often con-
sidered as an adulterated material, or
at best as a poor substitute for gum
spirits. It is true that in some cases
those opinions were we'll founded, but
inferior products have put an un-
necessary damper on the whole in
dustry.
The Section of Wood Chemistry of
the Forest Service has lately been
investigating this subject, and some
valuable results have been obtained.
1t has been found that for the re-
covery Of turpentine from Wastewood
the steam d1stillation process is far
superior to that of distilling the wood
destructively The crude turpentine
is in all cases more uniform, and the
final refined materials are as a rule
Of better grade and can demand a
higher price When properly made
and refined, experiments have shown
that the steam turpentines are in
many cases even more uniform in
composition than the gum turpentines,
and for all practical purposes contains
the identical substances. The Odor
often can not be distinguished from
that of gum spirits, but even if it
could, this is small matter in many
cases, as inhnitesimal and undetecta-
bic amounts of certain impurities
in the refined product as the result
of the methods of production can
produce this slight difference in odor,
and the wood turpentine should not
be condemned for practical purposes
on this account. This becomes still
more evident when it is known that
the sweet odor of the gum turpentlne
is not characteristic Of itself, but is
due to an impurity produced by the
chemical action of air upon it.
These are important discoveries and
are we'll worthy of consideration. If
pentine, properly prepared, should
bring at least an equal price in this
country with the gum turpentlne. In
deed, abroad this is often the case,
and instances are on record where the
refined steam turpentine has, by virtue
of it's more uniform composition,
brought five cents a gallon more than
the gum spirits, and is in much great
er demand. Further Investigations
along these lines will be pushed vigor-
ous1y by the Forest Service.

BETTER UTILIZATION OF
YELLOW PINE.

Wise Utilization OF Whole Tree Will
Forestall Shortage in Southern
Yellow Pine.
The following, issued by the United
States Forest Service, will be inter
esting in connection with Mr.. Pabor's
note on Forest Reserves" in this
weeks "Timely Topics"
I'm fifteen Or twenty years, at the
present rate of cutting, the supply
Of the long-leaf yellow pine of the
South, one of Americas most useful
forest trees, will be nearly exhaust
ed" say the experts Of the United
States Forest Service. If these pin>
forests are wiped out, one Of the
Souths important industries will die
the production of the so-called naval
stores.
The lumber of the Southern yellow
pine brings SIS to SIS per thousand
feet, its turpentlne SO cents per gallon,
its rosin from $4.35 to $o.o5 per 28o
pounds, and its pitch $325 per 28o
pounds. All of these prices are grad
ua1ly becoming higher on account Of
the increased demand and the scarcity
of the products. Formerly, turpentine
could be purchased for 80 cents a
gallon. Now SO cents must be paid
at wholesale, and the consumer of
gallon lots will pay at times as high
as $I.oo
In the face of these fast increasing
prices, people are still found who say
that there is yet an inexhaustible sup
ply of yellow pine in the South, and
that all talk about a famine is un-
warranted. Such statements are not
justified by conditions, and the yell
low pine numbering industry will soon
be in the face Of a serious shortage
unless decided changes are made IN
the present methods, and unless
valuable products now going to waste
are utilized. The long-leaf pine is a
slow-growing tree and does not make
timber with anywhere near the 1ap1d-
ity that it is being cut. The situation
calls for making the very best use
of the present supply.
There are at present in the woods
Of the South vast quantities Of pine
logs and tall stumps left as result
of caresless numbering in the past.
This material is rich in turpentlne
and could be made to yield from ten
to fifteen gallons of refined spirits per

waste at the sawmills in the form of
slabs, but at present is, for the most
part, simply burned to get it out OF
the way. In fact, not more than 50
per cent of the tree as it stands in
the forest comes to the market IN
the form of valuable materials.
In the year 1906 the reported cut
of southern yellow pine was somc
twelve million board feet A con-
servative estimate of the actual
amount of turpentine alone, to say
nothing of wood fiber and other ma
terials, which could be produced from
the wastewood of this one year, would
place the amount at not less than 80
million gallons. This is surprising
figure when it is remembered that it
represents an amount almost equal 10
the present annual production of gum
spirits in this country. If this pro-
duct were extracted from the wood
and sold at even the current price OF
good wood turpentine, the gross
Saving would be easily $I4,4oo,ooo

Americus cotton buyers and ware
housemen are seriously considering
the necessity of opening an indepen-
dent telegraph office, or exchange, here
to the end of supplying themselves
with the cotton market quotations, so
absolutely necessary just now.
The cost would not be considerable,
while the service would be fuller and
more satisfactory than that heretofore
obtained by wire through the regular
channels.
Some action upon this line may be
taken today
With both telegraph Offices here
not only bottled up. but practically
nailed up, as the results of the great
strike, it behooves the cotton ware
housemen and buyers to secure ano-
ther medium of information for the
conduct of their business.
The independent office, as suggest
ed, is the best possible means to that
desired end.

it is said, will send the market reports
in exchange for business sent through

MAY CLOSE UP THE POSTAL
Officials of That Company Expected Here Today
Ameu Office viii Probably Be Shut Up Entirely While Strike Lasts
Until Operator Can Be Secured,

In all probability, the Americus of
fee of the Postal Telegraph Co., like
the Western Union office here, will be
hermetically sealed today and the Of
flee abandoned until the strike is set
tied, or until the company can secure
operators to take charge of same.
Since the telegraphers strike was
launched two weeks ago the Postal Of
flee here has kept its doors open dur
ing office hours, but has handled no
business whatever, as far as known.
1t was said there yesterday that an
Official of the company was expected
in Americus today.
Following the rule adopted at other
offices where the strike was on, it is
expected that the local Office will be
'cut out" and the doors closed. This
will be only temporary, however, al
though it may be some time before the
office is opened again.
The Western Union office here was
thus closed up last Saturday and is
yet closed the office being in custody
of the chief of police.
Chief Feagin, with two linemen,
made an investigation of the Western
Union office at noon on Sunday last

act of vandalism, if such it was, is
not known, of course.
Former Manager Clark states that
the wires were intact when he surran-
dered the key to the chief of police
Saturday morning. He deeply regrets
such vandalism. Chief Feagin thinks
possibly the Office was entered by
someone from a rear window.
The cutting of the wires will not en-
tail any great loss
Manager Clark has been rendered
a position as operator and bill clerk
at the Central Railway depot here, and
will enter upon his new duties there
tomorrow.
In the face of the statement by the
president of the striking unionists,
both the Western Union and the Pos
tai companies emphasize their declara-
ton that the situation is improving,
and that barring a few towns, condi-
tions are gradually, assuming a nor
NAL basis.
They announced that they are hand

NEW AMERICUS CAFE TO
BE OPENED NEXT
MONTH.
Best of Service Will Be Rendered
Splendid Chef Has Been Secured

Open Between September
Is and 20.

Despite several unforeseen delays
in the arrival of the up-to-date equip
ment that is to be installed at the
new Christophulos Cafe in Americus
the new place will be opened to the
public between September Is and 90
1t was the intention of the manage
ment to open the doors of the new
cafe to the public by the first of Sep
tember but the slowness with which
the specially prepared fixtures were
completed and the other furnishings
as well made it impossible for the
company to begin business on the
date first named.
When the new cafe is opened Am
ericus people will see at a glance
that their wait was not in vain The
Christophulos Cafe Company has
made every arrangement to meet the
demand for a first class cafe and the
companys practical knowledge of the
business, puts it in a position to sup
ply just what is wanted in the quick
est, neatest and most up-to-date style.
In no city where the company has res
taurants has there even been a com
ment upon the business which was
not of the most complimentary kind.
In Macon and other cities where cafes
are now being operated and where
the business has been heavy the pat
rons have been more than pleased
No pains will be spared to make
the Americus cafe one of the best of
its kind in Georgia. The new fixtures
will make the place metropolitan in
its nature and skilled cooks and wait
ers will make it pleasure to pay it
visits.
One of the best chefs obtainable in
the South has been secured to take
entire charge of the cooking. The
kitchen is being arranged under the
most careful of scrutiny and is being
equipped with the best of utensils.
Specially prepared ovens and the best
possible arrangements for broiIed
meats have been made. The kitchens
of the company are always open for
the public.
Courteous, and at all times prompt
attention will be given to orders by
the walters who have been employed
by the new cafe and the very best of
service is guaranteed to the patrons
by General Manager Nick Christophu-
los, who is now in Macon where he
is operating the Metropolitan cafe,
one of the best ever seen in the Cen
trail City. Manager Christophulos

WELCOME TO BAR is
GIVEN BY PARKER
Meeting of American Bar
Association.
MANY MEMBERS IN ATTENDANCE
Prominent Lawyers of the United
States Assembled Yesterday in
Annual Convention at Port
land, Maine.

PORTLAND ME-, August ga dis
tinguished company gathered this
morning in the City Hall to attend
the thirtieth meeting of the American
Bar Association Included among
those present were many noted jur-
lists and men who have served their
State and Nation in the highest official
positions.
When 10 o'clock arrived, the hour
appointed for the opening session.
several hundred members, represent
ing the pick and flower of the legal
profession and every section of the
country sat before the platform as
President Alton B. Parker, of New
York, erect, dignitied and kindly-fea-
tured, appeared.
He invited to the rostrum Ambassa
dor Bryce, who is to deliver the an
nual address, and several others Of
the most famous members of the as
semblage.
After expressing appreciation of the
cordial welcome extended to the as
sociation by Portland, President Par
ker delivered his annual address,
which was mastery in its logical con
struction and perspicious diction, and
which was followed with the closet
attention.
| Of ha
ments of Congress and of the legisla-
tive bodies of the several States inter-
ested his listeners extremely. His
keen raillery at some apparent incon
! gruities and absurdities of certain
statutes provoked frequent merriment,
while his learned, yet sometimes
caustic, analysis and comments upon
more serious measures seemed to
impress his professional brethren as
judicial and comprehensive.
1t was long paper, but the schol-
arly character of the address, and
the bright humorous flashes which re-
lieved the long review of State legis-
lation served to induce patience and
promote good nature among the lis
tening lawyers.
Following President Parker's ad-
dress came reports from Secretary
John Hinkley of Baltimore, Treasur-
er Frederick e. Wadhams of New
York and of the executive committee,
which were of interest only to the
members of the association. No gen.
eral session of the association was
held this afternoon, but there were
meetings of the Association of AM
erican Law Schools and of several of
the sections.
Two interesting features have been
provided for tonight's session of the
| association. Charles A. Amidson, I'm
tied States district judge for the dis
trict of North Dakota, will present a
paper on The Nation and the Consti-
tuition" and Charles A. Prouty OF
Vermont, member of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, will be heard
on the subject, "a Department of Rail-
ways Its Legal Necessity"
