STILLWELL TALKS

HE THINKS THAT 1T WILL HELP
THE FORESTRY PREsERVA-
TON. /

Savannah July 10.-According to
w. B. Stillwell the meeting of one
hundred prominent lumbermen in ST
Louis Wednesday, with the idea Of
organizing a three hundred million
dollar corporation, for the purpose of
controlling the lumber business of the
south and middle west will mean a
great deal fer the men VINO are in
the organization. The best feature
of the combination is that it is to
be formed with the consent of the
government authorities and after 2
conference with President Roosevelt.
Il know the gentlemen who are
prominent in this movement very
well said Mr. Stillwell Thursday,
and | have no DOUBT of the success
of their organization. Such men as
| j. b. White of Kansas City. who is
at the head of the Missouri Land ana
Lumber Company, and R. A. Long of
the Long-Bell Company of Kansas
| City, are behind the plan.
when the subject was first
preached the president declared it

was to make 1t as beneficial to the
government as to the promoters, he

The lumbermen do not intend To-
form a trust as | understand it, but
the organization is formed largely to
regulate the cut OF lumber and To

needed and hope it will be a sue

sections of the country can profit by
the experiences of the pioneers in

! The lumber businesses in Georgia
has reached a very low ebb and there
is absolutely nothing to be made now

returns FROM
EASTERN MARKETS

Mr.. S. H. Coplon returned yester-
day from Eastern markets where he
has been for a number of days pur'
chasing his new spring and summer
goods, which he personally inspected
before buying.
1t is a well-known fact that Mr..
Coplon does not carry over one sea-
sons goods to another season. Rather
than do this, he places them on the
bargain counters and often sells them
considerably below actual cost. TheDe
are two distinct advantages in this
and one is that it gives him the cash
with which to get bargains for the
next season and the other is that it
permits him to display the latest and
newest creations in all mercantile
| lines.
Speaking last night of his spring
and summer purchases, Mr.. Coplon
said he was delighted with his sue
| cess in finding bargains and novelties.
He states that this seasons purchases
will prove a delightful surprise to
his many customers, as he will be
prepared to offer high-grade goods at
unusually low prices.
Mr.. Coplon will, perhaps, have the
finest selection of gents furnishings
that he has ever shown in Hatties
burg. His selections are of the
highest grade known to the tailors
art and he will show the latest styles
both in fabric and finish. To thest
high grade goods, he will have int
line of moderate price goods, which
he is sure will be the greatest win
ners ever placed on the HattiesburI
market.
In ladies dress goods, Mr. Coplol
is satisfied that he has the goods tina
will exactly suit the trade in Hattie.
