He was pursued into a residence

to a white woman, throwing his pis-

SUNDAY NIGHT DANCES.

Sunday night dances may be the

cause of the great depreciation In
the value of the trees for lumber
purposes after being boxed. It Is
estimated that Is per cent of the vir-5
gin pine forests of the South are now
held by lumber companies, who re-
fuse any concessions to the naval
stores operators, and it is not doubt
ed that much of the remaining 25 per
cent. will eventually 60 to the lurl-
Der interests.
Industry Seems Doomed.
As the productive life Of a tree
under present methods Of boxing Is
about eighteen years, it will be seen
that the naval stores industry will
be limited to the present acreage un-.
der cultivation or in possession OF
the turpentIne interests, unless
more conservative method of, treat
ing the trees is adopted. Several
years ago the forestry bureau OF
the government made an effort to
induce the naval stores operators to
adopt a system Of tapping the trees
much after the style. Of that prac--
ticed by the maple sugar operators,
but the same old primitive, harmful
method of cutting three to four deep
boxes near the base Of the tree and
then "scraping" the surface from
year to year until almost a third OF
the pines body was mass of coagu-
lated sap, has continued. This makes
the main body of the tree "fat," or
pitch pine," which is not available
for the manufacture Of the best
grades of lumber.
Conservative Methods Urged.
It has been suggested that the in
PRODUCTION of more conservative
methods of boxing may result In
much of the present acreage of pines
held by lumber companies being
made available for the naval stores
trade for several years working be-
fore the trees are cut into lumber.
At the meeting to be held in Atlanta,
October Z, for the purpose of organ
izing the Southern Conservation as
sociation, the question of a change
in the method of working trees for
turpentine is to be one of the princi-
pal topics for discussion.

PINE FORESTS GOING.
The Naval Stores Industry Now
Faces q Crisis.

Charleston, Aug. Lack of con-
servation of the pine forests of the
South -wasteful methods Of "box-
ing" and "scraping" the trees in
turpentining operations and the reck-
lessness of the yellow pine manufac-
turers-has brought the country face
to face with a crisis in the naval
stores industry, according to reports
from operators in this section. The
present shortage in the production
Of spirits turpentine and rosin, with
the consequent high prices, has re-
suited in serious consideration being
given the suggestion that substitutes
for these products must, before many
years, be placed on the market.
Highest Prices Known.
The quotations on spirits turpen-
tine and rosin have been higher this
season on a legitimate trading basis
than the trade has ever before
known. Turpentine has ranged be-
tween 6S and II cents per gallon the
past week, closing here yesterday at
6S IA, while the average price for
rosin in that period has been about
$3.50 per barrel. A decade ago, be-
fore the development Of the yellow
pine lumber industry in the South,
turpentine was selling for one-third
this price, with glutted market,
whereas rosin was so cheap that It
was allowed to go to waste around
the stills, where great beds Of it
lay for years untouched. The pres
ent price of turpentine represents an
increase of more than 10 cents gal
lon within the past month, while
rosin has jumped more than 81 a
barrel in that period.
Record Prices Attributed to Scarcity.
The present record prices are attri-
buted solely to scarcity of supplies
and not to any speculative element
in the market. Last years surplus
has been entirely wiped out and the
trade is forced to depend upon the
current crop to supply the demand
which has been steady to strong
from the opening season.
The once unbroken belt of long
leaf pine which extended from Vir-
ginia to Texas, has been so depleted
by the destructive methods of lumber
ing and boxing that conservative esti-
mates give the supply of timber now
available for turpentine operations as
insufficient to supply a normal de-
mand for more than fifteen years.
No longer are vast tracts Of virgin
pine available for turpentining be-

two minutes after he had offered an
apology to clear up differences, a
telephone lineman, known as kid
Parham, was shot and killed by Roy
Hightower, a well-known young man
of good family, to whom the apology
was offered. An alleged debt owed
by Parham to Hightower caused the
trouble. After the apology High
tower mentioned the debt, the lie
was passed. Parham struck HightoW-

from pistol through Parham's
heart. The fight took place in a
