Denounces as False and Malicious the Statements or In- ferences Made in Certain Savannah Newspapers That He Was in Any Way Connected With the Trusts. Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 7, 1908. To the Public: In an article signed "American Naval Stores Company, E. S. Nash, President" appearing in the Savannah Morning News of October 17, 1908, and in articles in the Savannah Naval Stores Review and Jour- nal of Trade of October 17, 24 and 31, re- spectively, attacks were made upon me and widely circulated in Florida and else- where. The article in the Savannah Morn- ing News of October 17 is liable to create false impressions concerning me, whether so intended or not, and there are refer- ences in that article that, if intended to apply to me, are absolutely untrue. The article appearing in the Savannah Naval Stores Review and Journal of Trade on the 24th of October, and its headlines, and also portions of the headlines and of the articles appearing in that journal of Oc- tober 17 and 31 are, in many respects, false and malicious. In so far as these articles and headlines state or imply:- That I assisted in the organization of a trust; That I insisted upon the allotment to me of a part of the stock of a trust; That I secretly sought or held stock in a trust; That I betrayed the interests of the Naval Stores producers of Florida, or have ever taken any action prejudicial to their interests; That I was aware of, or had any knowl- of the conduct or management of the busi- ness of this company. I did not insist upon the allotment to me or to anyone else of any of the stock of this company, and had no knowledge whatever of any contract or agreement for the allotment or issue of this stock. I did not secretly seek or acquire stock in this company. I betrayed no interests of the naval stores producers of Florida, and have never never taken any action prejudicial to their interests. I held no stock in the company when any of its officers were indicted and con- victed, and had no more reason for sym- pathy with them than a humane instinct prompts toward those who subject them- selves to punishment for violations of law. After the organization of the Consoli- dated Naval Stores Company I was never an officer or director of any factorage or other naval stores company, or in any manner managed or directed such com- pany. I was a stockholder in the original Florida Naval Stores & Commission Com- pany, and later became and have ever since been a large stockholder in the Con- solidated Naval Stores Company, and have always been and am now deeply interested in the success of every department of the naval stores interests in this State. In all of the statements made in these articles that directly or by implication re- fer to me, the only truth contained in them, so far as they relate to me, is the edge of, the "turpentine joint accounts" fact that I was once a stockholder in the of the Atlantic Investment Company with Atlantic Investment Company. other companies, or of the management The Atlantic Investment Company was and conduct of its business, or had any organized, as I understand, in December, eomneetion therewith, I denounce them, I.02.

False and Libelous Were Nash's Charges. So Designed by Walter F. Coachman in an Open Letter to President of American Naval Stores Company. The following open letter from Mlr. Wal- ter F. ('ochman, of Jacksonville, to Mr. E. S. Nash, President of the American Xaval Stores Company, has been sent to the Industrial Record with a request that it he published, and the Record most cheerfully complies with that request so that its readers may fully understand the methods that have been resorted to by Mr. Nash and his associates and how en- tirely unfounded are the statements made and published in certain Savannah publi- cations: Mr. E. S. Nash. President, American Na- val Stores Co.. Savannah, Ga. Sir:-I have read in the Savannah Morning News of October 17, 1908, a com- munication addressed by you on behalf of the American Naval Stores Company to the producers and consumers of naval stores, and have had my attention direct- ed also to the issue of the Naval Stores Review dated October 24, 1908, and de- voted in large part to comment on your article of the 17th ult., above referred to. Your communication professes to be a re- ply to attacks made upon your company. You realize that these "attacks" are less real than imaginary, and it is clear that the purpose of the article was not defen- sive but offensive. That the Naval Stores Review, a journal devoted ostensibly to the naval stores interests, is inspired, sup- ported and dominated by your company and its associated interests is thoroughly understood by the naval stores interests and the public. Its utterances will be treated as emanating from and approved by you, your company and its associates. The motives which prompted your com- munication and which lie at the root of the attack made by the Naval Stores Re- ..view Mr R R R D onral to each of the stockholders of the Con- solidated Naval Stores Company, whether a subscriber to that journal or not, tends to sustain this charge. Your purpose in naming Mr. C. B. Rog- ers, personally, was because of his active efforts in promoting the organization of the proposed Naval Stores Marketing Company which you regard as a possi- ble competitor, and to discredit that movement. Your purpose in naming United States Senator James P. Taliaferro, personally, was to impair, if possible, his usefulness as a public official in the passage of Fed- eral legislation which shall regulate in- spection of naval stores entering into in- ter-state traffic and the collection of sta- tistics on the production and consumption of these products. The material features of the two com- munications to which I have referred are statements that the Atlantic Investment Company was a trust; that Mr. Rogers, Senator Taliaferro and myself and the others whom you designate as the "Sa- vannah Interests" were subscribers to a portion of the stock of that company; and, by way of INFERENCES REPEAT- EDLY DRAWN AND ANNOUNCED, THAT I AND MY ASSOCIATES WERE PARTIES TO THE CRIME FOR WHICH IT IS CLAIMED THAT THAT COMPANY AND ITS ASSOCIATES WERE CON- VICTED IN 1907. The fact is however, that the ATLANTIC INVESTMENT COMPANY WAS NEVER TRIED FOR OR CONVI(T'ED OF ANY OFFENSE -HIATEVE'R; but the companies conviet- ed included among others the Patterson- Downing Company, with which we were in no wise connected, and with which you pand Your immediate assocites were most James P.

German Branch of American Naval Stores Company Prosecuted on Account of Alleged Fraud and Unfair Competition in Germany. Before going into the details of the sub- ject of this article, we wish to urge every operator, and any one else interested in the naval stores business, to read the last issue (October 31) of the Naval Stores Review, "Gamble's" paper of Savannah, in more than one sense of the word. The contents of this sheet have a famil- iar sound to us. They remind us of the whining of a prairie wolf, which finds himself caught in an iron trap. The same hollow voiced whelping and clamoring, born of fright and fear, pure and simple. The wolf, in his greediness and savage thirst for victims has advanced himself too far, suddenly the iron fangs close around his leg and dismal squeals come forth from the snout, with teeth all whet- ted to fall upon an unsuspecting victim. The shrieks are of no avail, however, no help can be found, the only -consequence might be that from somewhere the wolf's mouth may forever be shut. The herds- man will soon come and kill the brute, with utmost pleasure, which has so often wrought havoc and bloodshed amongst his lambs. Do you understand, why we want you to read the last Naval Stores Review? Because we want you to participate in our pleasure, a genuine happiness for us to note and see, what the Shotter crowd feels, now that the strong arm of justice is about to entwine the octopus institu- tion and a powerful competition will arise to check its advance for the monopoly in the Naval Stores trade. Yes. friends, FEAR, alias Messrs. Shotter, Nash and Cooper Myers, has dictated these articles into the rusty pen of yon slave-servant. Mr. Gamble! Perhaps this worthy trio thought and hoped, that their fright would be catching epidemically also amongst the producers, but we are convinced that for another time the weapon in the hands of these men was ill chosen. Their howling will bring about just the contrary from what is expected in Savannah, for this game is too simple for its plot not to be easily understood. What are they yelping about? Why, they hope that their loud cries will silence every word said in favor of the new Marketing Company. They wish to try to prevent this concern from becoming a reality. Don't they know that their dream of absolute monarchy in the naval stores belt will be ended, just as soon as the new company enters the mar- ket, and don't they realize that their reign of manipulation. which was all too profitable for them, will be over as soon as this new competitor, with an army of fighters behind, will enter the field? You bet they know it, and they understand the situation only too well. Why, it looks so important to them that they choose. without any discretion, the means to fight the proposition confronting them. They lower themselves and stoop down to an attack of "mud-slinging" which is disgust- ing to every man but themselves. Yes. at this stage of the game. no means seems mud and rot may wield a protective armor ject and provided Mr. Gamble only with about them. But let them come to the matter, which might hurt Mr. Benkert in bright sunlight and their well fitting armor the public eye. But we are here to tell you that there is no truth in the article will be of no further avail.

Mr. Benkert, too, published in the Record a little while ago some carefully gathered information about stocks of spirits tur- pentine abroad. He proved, that the stocks were collected at one point only-London, England-to cause the impression of over- production and abundance of stocks, while at other points of the continent, the con- sumers of spirits turpentine were, so to speak, starving for the want of spirits turpentine-the holdings there being much less than warranted by ordinary conditions. Mr. Benkert further-and that is in the eyes of the Shotter crowd his greatest liIhelI relieveu of it. they are waiLing for the new NAVAL STORE MARKET- ING COMPANY to supply them with naval stores, since it is proven to them that their confidence in the American is a wast- ed sentiment.

There was also the additional charge of conspiracy against the prisoners, but the jury acquitted the men on this count. A BIG YELLOW PINE TREE. The management of the Huber-Norman Lumber Company while in their virgin pine forest west of Moultrie, Ga., says an exchange, discovered a yellow pine tree that measured as follows: 24 feet around at the butt end and 18 feet around at the top, and seventy feet long. It will very easily make a prime sill 24x24x70 feet long, and the boards will be wide enough that two will be sufficient for one side of an ordinary house. Cut into flooring the tree has a value of $75. The next meeting of the Alabama-West Florida Lumber Manufacturers' Associa- tion, to be held in Montgomery, November 10, promises to be an unusually interest- ing one.

(Lontinued from page 3.) that company. other Florida factorage companies and the selling concerns of Sa- vannah, to take over the Florida product on the basis of the Savannah market-a condition for which the Florida interests had all along contended. These contracts, as I recall, were made in November, 19W2, and covered a little over two years. or until early in 1905; and the charter of the Atlantic Investment Company was apparently made to termi- nate with the expiration of these con- tracts. The contracts, as I have said, ex- pired early in 1905 and were not renewed; and it was then that the real conflict be- tween the Florida interests and these Savannah selling agencies actually began. In March of that year (1905) and be- fore the expiration of the contracts, I ceased to be a stockholder in the Atlantic Investment Company, I held this stock practically as long as the contracts ex- isted between the Florida factorage com- panies and this company, or those con- trolling same, and which contracts were favorable to the Florida Naval Stores in- dustry, but when the contracts expired and the conflict between the Florida interests and the Savannah selling agencies began I ceased to hold any interest in the Atlan- tic Investment Company. Prior to March 15, 1905, one of the officers of the Atlan- tic Investment Company had sought to have me sell or dispose of this stock. I had written him in substance that I was satisfied with the investment and pre- ferred to retain it. On March 16, 1905, being in Washington City, I was advised by telegram from Jacksonville that the conference held in Savannah the day be- fore between the representatives of the Florida naval stores interests and the Savannah marketing interest failed to re- new the contracts, then about expiring, that all negotiations were off in reference to same, and that it would result in the formation of a new export company in Jacksonville to handle the Florida product. I thereupon, on the same day. by telegram, authorized the sale of my stock in the At- lantic Investment Company, and on March 19,1905, my certificates of this stock were forwarded to New York for delivery on payment for same. During all the time that I held stock in the Atlantic Investment Company, cov- ering almost, is not exactly, the period of the contracts of the Florida Naval Stores interests above referred to, there was no charge against it of discrimination or of violation of the law, and I was so satis- fied with the stock as an investment,- believing as I did that the operations of the company were fair, honest and legiti- mate-that when its surrender was de- manded I was naturally reluctant to give it up. Subsequently, I am informed, the char- ter of the Atlantic Investment Company was renewed and that it was after this renewal that the company was indicted in the Federal Court at Savannah; and at that time I had no interest in the com- pany, whether it be considered as the same and were fined as shown by the records. The record shows, too, that the principal and substantial matter charged in the in- dictment was the making of a "joint con- tract" by' certain other corporations and individuals dated March 15, 1905, to go into effect April 1, 1905. The Atlantic Invest- ment Company was not a party to, and did not execute, this agreement; and the agreement, according to its terms, took effect, as a matter of fact, some time after I ceased to be a stockholder in the Atlan- tic Investment Company. I had never heard of, and had no knowledge of, this contract, and had never seen a copy of it until within the past few days when I read a copy of same as set forth in the in- dictment. This "joint contract" or agree- ment was executed at or about the time the Naval Stores Export Company was being organized, and its evident purpose was to defeat and destroy that company in which the naval stores industry of this son, or justification for injecting my name State was vitally interested. The record in the Federal Court at Sa- vannah further shows that two of the persons, jointly indicted with the corpora- tions that were convicted, and officers in one or more of said corporations, filed their written admission in court that they had "MANA(ED" the business of their cor- sprations in a manner which was in viola- tion of the law. Thus it will be seen plainly that I had no connection what- ever, business or otherwise, with the cor- Iprations and persons so indicted and con- victed in the Federal Court for violating the Sherman Anti-Trust law of the United States. In 1905 the Naval Stores Export Com- pany was organized for the protection of the industry, and during the term of its all-too-brief career, there obtained an era of good prices and general prosperity not theretofore known or enjoyed. The suggestion that I betrayed the in terests ot the Florida producers, or any other interest, by acquiring or holding stock in the Atlantic Investment Com pany. is not only mendacious but absurd- I was not, at that time, nor since have I ever been an officer or director of any naval stores company in Florida or else where. It is true that I have always felt the deepest concern in the success of all the naval stores industries in this State and I have rendered every service in my public and personal capacities that I pos sibly could to foster, encourage,, develop and protect them, and this I shall continue to do. Never at any time have I held any relations to the conduct of the naval stores business in Florida or elsewhere which any one could properly say was in any manner inconsistent with tile acquiring and hold ing by me of stock in any other company. The ostensible author of the article of October 17 in the Savannah Morning News, notoriously the head of an export com- pany. boasts in another publication over his signature that his company, and of- ficers of his company also, have large in- terests in the factorage and producing fields, and submits a letter of the Chair- man of the Board of Directors to the same effect, claiming thereby a guarantee of their best efforts for the maintenance of good prices. Thus, singularly enough, he or a new company. The Atlantic Invest- convicts himself of what he charges as im- ment Company, which was so indicted, was proper in others. not convicted, the indictment against it It must be apparent also, that I could was nolle prossed and there was no decis- not insist upon an allotment to me of ion or judgment in those proceedings that stock when I knew nothing about its pro- it was guilty of the violation of any law, posed issue. I was not at any meeting at although other corporations and persons, which the organization of the Atlantic In- indicted at the same time, pleaded guilty vestment Company was discussed or form- into either or any of the published articles I have heretofore referred to, or for mak- ing the statements in reference to me contained in those articles. I am not ac- tively in the naval stores business, but am only a stockholder in a naval stores com- pany as are hundreds of others in Florida, Georgia and elsewhere, and can account for these attacks only upon the theory that it may be one of the designs of per- sons or corporations to injure my good name and to destroy whatever of influ- ence 1 may possess. It is a fact that, at the last session of Congress, I procured the passage of an amendment to the Agricultural Appropria- tion bill providing for the investigation of the naval stores industry so that the pro- ducer would be furnished with such infor- mation as to supply and demand as would protect him from the scant mercy of the unscrupulous manipulator. It is also a fact that the Jacksonville Board of Trade has passed resolutions ask- ing for appropriate legislation by Congress to prevent the false grading and marking of rosins and the adulteration of spirits of turpentine; and it is a fact, too, that, to the enactment of this proposed legislation, my best efforts are pledged and shall be devoted. It is likewise true that there is a great movement in Florida to organize a selling company for the protection of the indus- try, and that I have been named as one of the trustees in that connection. If it is for these reasons that I have incurred the hostility of persons or cor- porations and became the object of shafts of slander then it is a gratification to me to feel that my efforts to serve the best interests of my State. have alone subject- ed me to these unwarranted assaults. For I say again, that, whatever lies properly within my power to do for the protection and advancement of this great industry, it shall be done. JAMES P. TALIAFERRO. IN THE COURT OF THE COUNTY JUDOE. FOR DUVAL COUNTY, FIORIDA. IN PROBATE. In the Matter of the Estate of John Zahm, Deceased. By the Judge of said Court. In the name of the State of Florida. Whereas, Henrietta Zahm, as adminis- tratrix of the estate of John Zahm, de- ceased, has filed in this Court her petition praying that she be ordered to take pos- session of the real estate described in said Petition. to-wit: Lot Seventeen (17), Block Six (i6 of Campbell's Addition to Jack sonvil l. now in the corporate limits of said city. situate in the County of Diu- val and State of Florida, according to a ulated, was not at any conference touch- ing the sale or allotment of its stock, was not a party to any contract it made, and did not, as I have said, become a stock- holder until several weeks after the com- iany was organized. That 1 sympathized with any officer of the company when indicted is not only false and malicious, but, like the other charges, absurd, for I had long ceased to be a stockholder in the company. The methods of those who controlled it after I ceased to be a stockholder were regarded as inimical to the prosperity of a great Florida industry, and it would have been unnatural to have given my sympathy to those whose course was considered de- structive of the interests of my State, my friends and myself. Besides, those who know me best know that my sympathies are not with lawbreakers.

(Continued from page 4.) barrels which were put there by Govern- ment Inspectors, to the detriment of con- sumers and that they were adulterating spirits turpentine for their own gain and purpose. "Now it has occurred to me that fre- quently the American Pine Products Co. has made extraordinarily low offers, by which the Ernst Bartels Akt. Ges., of whose bdly of directors I am a member, has lost heavily. These low prices have caused me to suspect that some unfair manipulations were at the base of it, and on investigating the matter closely I find that my suspicions have been only too well founded. "I am today in a position to PROVE that by order of the responsible directors of the American Pine Product Co. the marks (,f rosin as established by American inspection, have Iten changed in their yards, thereby imitating as good as pos- sibie the marks of the Americans in order to keep up the belief that a buyer would get original American grades. "Since each buyer of rosin is in the firm belief that he receives the American graded rosin. I am of the decided opinion, that the action of the American Pine Products Co. represents a grave breach of trust and belief," etc. A Weak Answer. Against this accusation the American Pine Products Company answered in a cir- cular letter on September 29th, the con- tents of which are so weak a defense, how- ever, that they are not worth the trans- lation for this paper. The substance of the letter is the information that this concern is going to sue Mr. Benkert for slander. On Oct. 2 Mr. Benkert sent out a fresh circular letter in which he says. '" here- with declare, that I sustain EVERY AC- CUSATION I HAVE MADE in my former letter TO THE LAST WORD, and that I HAVE PROOF FOR EVERYTHING I (CONTENDED IN MY HANDS. IT IS A SATISFACTION FOR ME TO KNOW THAT THE AMERICAN PINE PROD- IUI TS (C. IS GOING TO SUE FOR SLAN- DER, BECAUSE THIS WILL GIVE ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROVE THE ('HARGIF I MADE. ANYHOW I HAVE ALREADY BROUGHT THIS MATTER BEFORE THE PUBLIC PROSECUTOR ON THE 28TH OF SEPTEMBER BE- CAUSE I CONSIDER THE MATTER IM- PORTANT ENOUGH TO HAVE IT DE- S CIDED IN THE INTEREST OF EVERY- BODY CONNECTED WITH THE NAVAL STORES TRADE." Such are the reasons which caused Mr. lenkert to be disliked by the American and which inspired the article against him in the last Review. And today we are enabled to tell our readers that it stands bad with the German branch of the Amer- ican. Why, its manager is said to have admitted that he HORNS THE ROSIN. only he does not consider it a fraud, but a PLAIN DUTY, because--listen and learn lie contends that only 10 per cent of the American rosin is being inspected, aad this inspection is done in America in a CARE- IESS AND FRIVOLOUS MANNER, WHICH THIS IMPORTANT PERSON- AGE HAS TO RECiTIFY -for the interest of his customers, of evurse. If it comes to a claim, however, this same concern is not shy to say that the claimant has not a bit of show. because he RECEIVED THE ROSIN INSPECTED AND GRADED IN AMERICA BIY SWORN INSPECTORS. They Get Theirs. What do you think alsut that, we ask' Is not that something new for you? The product of your hard work and toiling, which is Isxught from you at a losing price. is regarded abroad by this worthy combination of gentlemen so that they get at least THEIR profits, no matter how the market stands. Are not such tactics an enormity, which ought to be stopped in the name of common sense and justice? Sure it is, and it can be done easily enough. There is the new Naval Stores Marketing Company which will do it better than all the processes against the American and that is just the greatest fear of the Amer- ican. that this new concern will heat them and heat them good. They may figure that a fine, which might he imposed upon the American in their processes can well be paid. when there is a chance left to re- make the money thus lost. But with the new Marketing Company in the field that chance is lost and gone and for that rea- son you hear the crowd howl, and see their efforts to stop the organization of the new company. Now for us who are interested in the naval stores trade on an honest scale, what does the fear of Shotter teach us? We will learn once and forever that just be- cause of it we will need to strain every nerve in order to get the new company afloat at the earliest possible moment. We do not need Shotter and his allies. Kick them out of the circle of honest tra- ders. kick them so high that they starve in the air, before they strike bottom again, and in the meantime let us go and sub- scribe to the new company and let us put all our shoulders to the wheel and make this enterprise a decided and complete success.

"Every business man who is obeying the law may go ahead with all the energy in his possession: every enterprise which is within the statutes may proceed without fear of interference from the administra tion. when acting legally: but all interests within the jurisdiction of the federal gov- ernment may expect a rigid enforcement of the laws against dishonest methods," was the keynote of what Mr. Taft said.

Industrial Record Publishing Co. MORE MANIPULATION. T'le advance in the price of spirits of turpentine during the present week is a matter of satisfaction to the producer, but it is well for the turpentine olwrators not to be over confident. There are wheels within wheels and the little wheel makes the big wheel go around. Any one who has watched the Savannah market closely luring the past few days will see that it is not any unusual demand that has caused the advance in price. Take Thursday, for instance, and note what the Savannah News says about the ad- vance on that day: "The upward tendency in the market for spirits turpentine continued yesterday, and another half cent was added to the price," said the News in its Friday's is- sue. "The market opened unchanged at 38'/c, sales 61 casks. Later there were sales of 27 casks at 38%c, 36 casks 38'Ac, and then 6o4 casks at 38%c. close was quoted at 38/c and 38%c, but as will be noted the great bulk of the sales were at the outside and latest price. Further sales were reported after the close at 38/ c, and ioo to igo casks were carried over unsold." Now. does that look like the advance was caused by any unusual demand? The receipts that day were 858 casks; ship- ments 42 casks, coastwise. no exports. Ever since the Turpentine Operators' Association adopted resolutions urging the reduction of the box cut for 1908-99, to a minimum there has been a fluctuation in the spirits market. There is not one particle of doubt that the market is be- ing manipulated so a to induce the op- erators to gm th resolutions and to go ahead cutting boxes. The manipula- tors know that if the box cut is stopped or even if it is reduced to a minimum that the supply will soon be so curtailed that they will have nothing to manipulate. The producers can then fix their own prices and can demand a fair living profit for their product. There is no doubt that the American Naval Stores Company will allow the price of spirits to advance to 40 cents per gallon about the time it is customary to begin the cutting of boxes, but they are not going to allow it to be more than one or possibly two cents over that figure. They will do this to encourage the pro- ducer to go ahead with the cutting of boxes and then, after the producer has started the work nnd is into it so deeply that he cannot well drop it, the prices will be again lowered. The producers should remember that those resolutions adopted by the Turpen- tine Operators' Association were given the most careful consideration by men who have had long experience in the business. They studied the matter carefully and they ealrnestlv believe that the resolutions adopted are for the best interests of the naval stores industry, and that the carry- ing out of these resolutions will do more to bring about better conditions than any other one thing. The resolutions in regard to the box: cut were as follows: "Whereas. It is the sense of this asso- ciation that there is already in operation a number of turpentine boxes sufficient to produce an ample crop, in view of the manner in which the naval stores market has been manipulated, and "Whereas. Although the supply of tim- her is limited and is constantly decreas- ing. and although the demand for this product is annually increasing, the price of spirits of turpentine has steadily de- clined, by reason of an unnatural market situation: now, therefore, be it "Resolved. That this association peti- tion the factors to use their influence with their individual customers and to co-oper- ate with this association to the extent that producers hold their operations dur ing 1908-1900 to a minimum, it being the sense of this association that no new boxes be cut. and no new crops put up during the coming season."

Shotter Company on the other part, looking to a sale of the consolidatedd Naval Stores (ICmpany's receipts at Florida ports on a flat basis of Savannah's closing market. with an ap- propriate differential against Pensacola. Pending these negotiations the Atlantic Investment Com)any was organized. It! was insisted lby the Patterson- )owning Company and S. P.

This stock was laid for by the suh- -crilers in cash. -*20.000.00 with inter- est from the date of the call for its pay- nenit. A few months thereafter the stock in the Atlantic Investment companyy pur- chasedl by the Consolidated Naval Stores (Company was sold to the Atlantic Invest- nient (onmpany or some of its associated interests, and during the year 1904 the stock held by MIr.

I am informed that the stock held by Senator Taliaferro and our other associates was purchased by you or your associates early in the year 190.. on a threatened liquida- tion of the Atlantic Investment Company. This all preceded April 1st. 1905. At no time during the existence of the Atlantic Investment Company. and particularly dur- ing the period of our ownership of a por- tion of its stock. were any of my associ- ates or myself in any wise connected with the DIRECTORATE OR MANAGEMENT OF THAT COMPANY, and it is gratifying now to me to recall that it was only after my associates and myself had ceased even to le stockholders in that company that y-our companies with which neither I nor any of imy associates had any connec- tion whatever. either directly or indirect- ly. in their attacks upon The Naval Stores Export Company and the naval stores in- dustry. began a career which resulted in, their conviction. It was the clear purpose of your article and of your organ, the Naval Stores Re. view. to intimate that my associates and myself were, dirocly or indirectly. asso- ciated with you and your associates in conduct for which your companies were convicted. Such an inference is utterly false and plainly lilwl.los. The Atlantic Investment Company was never tried or SOLE AGENTS FOM KNOX HATS. fLOR- nit SHOES, HART. SCH F- NER AND M RX CLOTHES.

STILLS AT VERY NEAR COST I have on hand a very large assortment of stills, ranging in size from ten to fifty barrels capacity. -I have put the prices of these stills down to just a little above cost, in order to dispose of them. Copper is now exceedingly cheap, and there is no reason why the price of stills should not be reduced con- siderably. Naval stores are at a very low price, and I have decided to put the price of stills in keeping with same. Watch this space for my price list, which will be published later on. In the meantime if you are in the market for any- thing in the still line, ask me for prices, F. O. B. your railroad station. If I do not sell you what you want, I will make someone else sell you cheap. My specialty is closely riveted stills, with heavy bottoms, high crowns, large spouts, extra large worms and above all, stills that are guaranteed not to leak. Drop our nearest shop a line, or wire us for your wants. Ask for our booklet of testimonials. M. A. BAKER, Branswick, Ga. A. BAKER & CO, Penscola, hl.

If you do not, you are failing to read and be profited by one of the strongest champions the "man in the woods" has ever had in the newspaper or trade journal field. For six years, the Industrial Record has stood on the firing line in the interest of the producers of naval stores. How well it has done its work every constant reader of the paper can tell. "It has been worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to the operators" wrote one friend to us. We hope so. Of the past, however, let others speak. The future is before us, and it means that the Record must keep its place behind the guns. We shall not flinch. All we ask you to do, and do it now, please send the paper $3.00 for one year's subscription. It takes several thousand dollars a year to run the Record. We want you--you who are reading these lines to do your share-- will you do it? Sincerely yours, JAMES A. HOLLOMON, Editor. CUT OUT HERE Jacksonville, Fla., 1908.
