BIG LUNBERMAN
L. GERMAN, .Jr., Makes a Trip
Over This Entire
Section.
LUMBER MILLS RUNNING
Prices viii Continue Good, He
Says, and Demand VIII Be
Above SuppIy-Three Big
Steamers Due This Week.

L. German, of Pittsburg. president
OF the German Lumber company, left
yesterday for Florida after spending
a week in this territory, looking into
the general situation. Mr.. German
left Brunswick last Sunday afternoon
with E. f. Shaver. the company's 10
cal representative, and the entire
week has been spent throughout this
section. Many large sawmills were
visited and number of orders were
placed.
Mr.. German, whose concern is one
of the largest in the country, talks
quite interestingly of the lumber sit
was never better. He says there is
no trouble whatever to get lumber at
good prices. but just at present the
conditions appear to be somewhat
unsettled. He stated, however, that
all of the large mills throughout this
section has resumed operation and
that many new ones are soon to be
established. The prices are now up
where the millman can operate and
ma" money and pay his force fair
waG IS.
Il expect the coming year to be .
great one for the lumbermen," said
Mr. German Yesterday. The condi
lions at present, though good, appear
to be somewhat unsettled, but this
I will last for only short time Prices
Will continue uD and the demand will
increase all the time"
While visiting the nearby sawmills
Mr. German placed a number of or
ders. His company now has due in
Brunswick three steamers. All of
these are expected here by December
first. One is a British steamer com
ing for cargo Of crossties, another a
Greek ship, which will load hewn ties.
and the third a Canadian steamer
which is coming for a full cargo of
lumber.

YARYAN PLANT IS
LIKELY TO START
BEFORE JAN. ISL
EFFORTS ARE NOW BEING MADE
READINESS BEFORE THAT
TIME IF POSSIBLE.

The mammoth plant of the Yaryan
Naval Stores company, which is to be
operated in future by the Yaryan Tur-
pentine and Rosin company. may re
sumo operation before January first.
While this announcement has not
ben made by any of the officials of
the company, it is known that the
work of making all necessary repairs
is being pushed with all possible ra-
pidity, and just as soon as all of this
work is completed the plant will be
put into operation.
When the machine shops of the
company opened up early in the pres
ent month it was stated that the plant
would resume operation by January
first. At that time, however, II was
not known xeactly how long it would
take 10 make all of the repairs. The
work has progressed most satisfacto-
rily, and yesterday ii was announced
that more men would probably be
added during the coming week, in or
der TO get everything in shape at the
earliest practicable moment.
With rosin now selling at $3.50 per
barrel, the highest point ii has reach
ed in number of years, the outlook
for the big plant is most encourag-
ing, and the best part of it is that
the demand is said to be larger than
the supply just at present.
Yesterday a shifting engine was
busy On the sidetracks at the plant
clearing all of the tracks and making
preparations for many carloads of
wood which are soon to be received
and which will be ready for the plant
when il is started The crews in the
woods are being organized and some
of them will be put to work within the
next two or three weeks.

Crowley, formerly a special investi-
gator in the county district attorney S
office, was taken into custody today
by Don s. Rathbun, special agent

1t set forth that Crowley sent three
money orders to an alleged agent at

$3.50 and two on June for $50 each.
The orders were issued to man
named Garrett.

took employment with the Hercules
Powder company here, supposedly to
keep in touch with the shipment OF

$4,000 FROM
NEW AUTO LAW
NEW LAW EFFECTIVE ON FIRST
OF YEAR HAS SOME EXCEL
LENT FEATURES.

1t is claimed for the new automobile
license tax law, which becomes effect
i've January l 1916, that it is one of
bill being combination of many fea-
lures from the best known bills of
other states. The author of the bill
is Mr.. Garland Jones, representative
from Coweta county, to whose untir-
ing efforts the successful passage of
tie ill may be largely attributable.
The salient features of the Jones au-
tomobile license tax law are as fol
lows
Instead of a flat rate for all automo-
biles, as under the present law, the
new law provides a scale of prices for
license tags as follows:
For motorcycles, So.
For automobile of 25-hp. and I'M
der, So.
For automobiles of from 25-hp. to
35-hp. 81.
For automobiles of 35-hp. and up
wards, s..
For one-ton trucks, SO.
For two to four-ton trucks, 81.
For trucks of six tons capacity or
mere, 81.
Dealers Get Tags.
Automobile dealers and manufacture
e-s may obtain a distinctive license
tag known as q dealers license tag"
For $40 year the dealer receives two
such tags, and may secure any num-
Der OF duplicates of these tags at
81 each.
In event of the loss of a tag an ad-
tCmobile owner may have the tag du-
p'icated BY presenting an affidavit to
the effG1t that the tag is lost and up
on payment of ST.
Another feature of the new law,
which will doubtless meet with APP
p1oval, is provision for prorating the
license tax SO that after August ! of
each year the rice Of a tag for the
remainder Of each year shall be but
onehalf the price Of the entire year.
The new law also provides for a
chauffeur's license Of 50 per year.
Under this law chauffeur is de-
fined as one driving an automobile
other than his own for cOmpensa-
ton 1t is. therefore, not necessary
under this construction that car
owner need obtain chauffeur's IL
cense in order TO drive his own car.
No one under II years old may OBJ
tain a chauffeur's license. To obtain
such license the candidate must
have the written reference Of three
well-known men as to his character
and his ability to operate an automo
bile, and must also stand such other
examination as the secretary Of state
may dem advisable.

State Game Commissioner Ar
now Is Much Pleased
=
With 1t.
HE TALKS OF THE BILL
Says Georgia Now Has the Best
Fish and Oyster Laws of Any
State on the Coast-WiII Be
Here This Week.

G. S. Arrow, state game commits
sioner, is much pleased over the new
fish and game laws passed at the
special session OF the Legislature, and
he believes that Georgia will now
have as good laws in this respect as
any state al ng the coast.
Mr.. Arrow was in Tavannah yester-
day on business conn 2cted with his
office and, as was state in The News
several days ago he nounced that
he was coming to this Hity early in
the present week to Il X into con-
ditions here.
Mr.. Arrow declares the bill passed
by the legislature provid G for the
appointment of three inspectors
gives this department a W ,er scope
than formerly. These inspC tors will
have authority over the en- re state
and will not simply conli1e their
duties to the coast. The sill be
able to look after the shad f. iheries
in the rivers of the middle ant north
ern part of the state.
The section providing for tn, IS
ing of oyster beds of the coas; was
stricken from the bill, it being the
pressing and could be postponed to
q later session.
To further protect the interest of
the fisheries the bill provides for the
purchase or lease of launches to be
used by the inspectors for the pur-
pose of their Investigations. With
the use of the power boats the in
spectors will be able to reach sec
tons of the rivers not heretofore
given attention, Mr.. Arrow pointed
out.
All boats engaged in the fishing
business shall be required to pay
a tax of one dollar per ton or frac-
ton thereof when the boat is of five
tons or over, net register. This
license is to be effective for twelve
months after issue. No person shall
be allowed to catch, tong or take
oysters from the waters of the state
between the hours of sunset and
sunrise.
The close season on shrimp and
prawn is placed between May l and
August for the use of seine, net or
any other device, but this section
does not apply to the cast net or
hook and line. 1t is provided that
the use of a seine not exceeding 80
fet in length will be allowed on the
coast. The use of the cast net and
line is also provided.
The use of the seine not to exceed
80 feet in length is permitted for the
pleasure of the visitors to the coast.
Many of the people from the upper
to fish during the summer and find
pleasure in dragging the seine. 1t is
the opinion of Mr.. Arrow that the
permission of the use of the 30-foot
seine will not affect the supply OF
fish in any way and will work to the
betterment of the local people by
providing foodstuffs for the local mar
ket and their visitors.
Turtle hunting and turtle egg TAX
ing by parties at night is made un-
lawful. Mr.. Arrow declared this was
done for the protection of the tur.
tie, which is becoming scarce on ac.
count of the practice. The bill as
originally drawn was amended sew.
eral times before its passage. Copies
of the perfected bill will be ready for
the public in a short time.
