NAVAL STORES Of THE.
UNITED STATES
COMPARATIVE STATEMENT OF
RESOURCES AND FIGURES
FOR YEARS 1908 AND 1907

WASHINGTON, March S-The
production of more than s6,sOO.0O0
gallons Of turpentine and more than
100000 barrels Of rosin with valu-
alton Of more than Sl4.000,00 for the
snrpentine and nearly SlSOOo00o for
shc rosin summarizes the output Of
the Naval Stores industry for 1908,
according to the preliminary report
Of the United States Forest Service
iust completed. The study was provi-
ded for in special appropriation Of
$4,000 BY Congress and the reporl
contains the most complete and ac-
eurate statistics ever gathered for the
Naval Stores industry in this country
and covers the production for both
1907 and 1908 giving comparative
figures for the two years.
OF the eight Southern states. each
producing more than 10000 gallons
Of turpentine and $4,000 barrels of
rosin, Florida leads the fist with ~
$500 gallons of turpentine in 1908
against l5.s72,70O gallons in 1907, and
l.Qs2lI4 barrels Of rosin in 1908
against 1,774,37O barrels in 1907,
Georgia Alabama. Mississippi.
Louisiana North Carolina, South
Carolina. and Texas follow in the or
der named. The comparative report
Of the production by states is as fol-
lows:
While the figures show an increase
Of 2.40S,2OO gallons of turpentine and
288o62 barrels Of rosin for 1908 over
1907, there was a marked decrease in
the value Of tn product for 1908 as
compared with the preceding year.
This was due to the great decrease
IN the prevailing prices for turpen-
tine for 1908 and the slight decrease
IN the prevailing prices for rosin dur
ing the same year. The value Of the
product for the two years follows:
Turpentine, 1903, sl4li2,377.32;
1907, $lS2S3, ,3Ooo3; rosin, 1908, sl7,-
783sOo6l; 1907, $l7,3l7,O5993; a diff
renee in the value Of the combined
output Of s3,7O4, 4s293 in favor of
1907.
The figures used in determining
Eie value Of turpentine and rosin for
the two years are based on the mark
ed quotations at Savannah the recog-
nizeyE naval stores market Of the Uni
led States. The average price receiv-
ed for turpentine manufactured in
1908 was $03S57 per gallon, and in
1907 was so.s349 per gallon. The ay-
erage price received for rosin in 1908
was s4l4 per barrel and in 1907 was
$4.33 per barrel.
The increase in production for
1908 over 1907 was due to more fa-
yorable weather and labor conditions
than to increased operation. But
few operators increased their op-
erations, owing to the disorganized
condition Of the market at the time
operations commenced. Figures upon
which the report of production for
the two years is based we're secured

The following bright account If

is being enjoyed by a number Of Z.
NJ. G. A. boys, has been received from
Walker Anderson:
Since Mr.. Bradford's last report to
your paper, several things of interest
have occurred at camp. Wednesday
was visitors day and a party compos-
ed of Mesdames Bradford, Carter and
Gilmore and Misses Louise Williams,
Genevieve Carter and McClain came
up on the mail boat Ruth with Mr..
Bradford. The visitors stayed over
night and had a taste of camp life,
returning to Pensacola Thursday
morning. They were very much
pleased with the camp and quite in
terested with the inspection of camp,
life saving drill, etc.
Huxby Carter received a cut on his
foot and was in the hospital, but he
will soon be out again, as his injuries
are nearly healed.
Thursday the whole camp went over
to Camp Walton and after obtaining
permission and a shovel from Capt.
Brooks went to one of the Indian
mounds with the purpose OF unearth-
ing a skeleton or two, or at least a
skull. After digging for a little
while and unearthing a Few bones and
many fragments of pottery, a skele-
ton was reached, through the ener-
getic labor of Francis Spears, and
soon nearly the whole skeleton with
the exception of the skull was uneoV-
cred. Where the skull had gone no
one could imagine. Another skeleton
was partially unearthed and then the
party adjourned for lunch About 2
o'clock we started on the return trip

our load of bones and pottery frag-
ments. In the evening We received

WIN. JOHNSON & SON
THE BIG STORE
Ladies Bathing Suits, Caps and
Shoes. A complete line to select
from.

The Masonic address by Robert Pit
man, young man raised in and
around Westville, was a masterpiece
OF oratory, full of Masonic tradition
which not only reflects much credit
on the youthful orator but even car
ried the oldest Masons back into the
primitive history of the craft At the
close of the Masonic address DR.. John
ID. Gable, of Bombay, was next intro
duced, who delivered a we'll timed
address in behalf of the Woodmen of
the World. His speech was full OF
the history and objects of this noble
order and was enjoyed by all. Hon.
John Neel then introduced Hon
Daniel Simmons, private secretary to
ex-Gov. BrowaTd. who delivered a
magnificent address to the Confed-
crate veterans which was not only
eloquent but very touching to the old
fellows who listened with rapt atten-
ton. Next came the dinner. which
was the most extensive and best ar
ranged ever seen here by even tho
oldest inhabitants. Too much praise
cannot be given to the ladies or
Westville and surrounding neighbor-
hood for the many well filled baskets
which were spread on the table by
each lady making a committee of the
whole Everything was furnished
free with lemonade and ice water in
abundance. After the dinner was
over at 3 o'clock the wives and
daughters of Masons repaired to the
lodge room and the side degrees were
conferred on those entitled, thus end
ing one of the most festive and fra
ternal occasions ever enjoyed in this
section of Florida.

ARE
WELL ATTENDED
THE REV. MR.. WRAY CONTINUES
TO HOLD LARGE AUDIENCES
sPEuBoUND.

One OF the best services ever held
on East Hill occurred Sunday night
at the open air series.
Rev. Mr.. Wray was at his best and
for more than an hour he held the
hearers all in the grasp OF his elo-
quence.
His theme was "Sin, 'Rand never has
it been pictured more clearly, nor
made to appear more hideous. The
speaker seemed to command the
brush Of the artist, the tongue OF the
poet, the pen o. the historian and the
discoveries of science, while his
earnestness stirred the consciences Of
the listener
Almost painful silence reigned as
the speaker reached the climax Of his
thought. Many came forward for
prayer.
It was the largest gathering yet to
assemble and the refreshing breeze
In the open air made the hour seem
but a few minutes.
The choir was unusually good,
there being many present from other
CONGREGATIONS. Rev. Mr.. Calloway's
solo was much enjoyed.
The meetings will continue through
the week.

MISSISSIPPI
LUMBER TRADE
IS LOOKING Up
MANUFACTURERS REPORT CON-
SIDERABLE IMPROVEMENT IN
CONDITIONS ADVANCE FOL-
LOWS CURTAILMENT OF OUT
PUT.
By Associates Press.

Birmingham, Ala, June 2S.-A spe-
cial from Jackson, Miss, says:
The lumber trade in Mississippi has
been looking up during the past few
days, and manufacturers and mill
agents report a considerable improve
ment in the situation. The advance
in prices during the current month
has varied from fifty cents to S1.5O
per thousand feet and the lumber
men attribute the advance chiefly to
the fact that a large number Of mills
have curtailed their output, some of
the largest plants have closed down
completely for the summer months.

DOCTOR KNEW.
Had Tried it Himself.

The doctor who has tried Postum
knows that it is an easy, certain, and
pleasant way out OF the coffee habit
and all of the ails following and he
prescribes 1t for his patients as did a
physician of Prospertown, n. ].
One of his patients says:
During the summer Just past I
suffered terribly with a heavy feeling
at the pit OF my stomach and dizzy
feelings in my head and then a blind
ness would come over my eyes so l
would have to sit down. / would get
so nervous l could hardly control my
feelings.
Finally spoke to our family ply
stefan about ii and he asked if 1
drank much coffee and mother told
him that l did. He told me to imme-
diately stop drinking coffee and drink
Postum in its place as he and his
family had used Postum and found 1t
a poWdeTful rebuilder and delicious
food drink.
I hesitated for a time, disliking
the idea Of having to give I'D MY
coffee but finally I got a package and
found it TO be all the doctor said.
Since drinking Postum in place CT
coffee my dizziness, blindness and
nervousness are all gone, my bowels
are regular and / am again we'll and
strong That is a short statement of
what Postum has done for me-"
Look in pkgs. for the famous little
book, The Road to Wellville."

one appears from time TO time. They
arc genuine, true and full Of human
Interest.

The Transcript clerk of the day
tells the story of "a very sinful wag
who was lunching with DR.. Abbott and
referred repeatedly to his connection

But, my dear sir, am not the
editor of Outing. 1 am the editor or
