DUNHAM'S MUSIC HOUSE if CORNSTALK PAPER IS II REALITY NOW Statement Is Matfe That the Experiments of the Agricultural Department Have Been Successful. New York, Dec. 24. The day of paper made from corn-stalks has come, the experiments of the depart ment of agriculture havinir proved the process can be made a commer cial proposition. For some time these experiments have been under way, says the Progress Magazine, and now the department is utilizing some of the cornstalk paper for Its corre spondence, and operates a mill which turns out the new paper, of a high grade, by the hundred pound lot. The experts of Uncle Sam say that a small commercial mill can be kept busy through the entire year by the stalks from the corn fields within a radius of eight to ten miles. Perhaps it will not be many years before the farmer will look upon his stalks as the most valuable part of his corn crop. If he can realize but half a cent a pound he will get more for them than for his corn at 60 cents a bushel. The problem of mak ing cheaper paper to compete with the wood pulp article used for print ing newspapers has not been solved yet, though the investigators are hopeful. What this will mean can readily be realized when it is stated that about $35,000,000 worth of raw material, wood pulp, is used annually in the paper making business in this country. That means a great manj trees cut down. The stalks are pressed until the Juice, a very rich stock food, Is extracted, then shred ded and dried. In this form they will keep sweet a year, insuring a steads operation of the paper mill. Only two-thirds of the libre is utilized for print ,apcr, the remainder making a sort of parchment, watertight for a while, but not absorbing the ink.

Great valor marked the sacrifice in both instances. Fire Mar shal .Moran in Chicago had warned the City council of his fear of a stock yard holacauat onlv the day before it came. Gazette-News Bureau, Hotel Hamilton, Washington, Dec. 20. coming here the writer has some letters of inquiry republHans in the state who are seeking more light upon the attitude of President Taft toward the North Carolina wing of his party, and particularly as respects the president's attitude toward the Duncan and But ler factions of party. Those making lijtqulry apparently assume that tlilngH are known here which have not us yet been published. A PaciBc Policy. It is true that one gets a perspec tive from this point of vantage which may be considered more illuminating anil dependable than can be had at long range. To approach the subject In the abstract, the events of the past few weeks have left little doubt that Mr. Taft has hit upon a course which he doubtless hopes will have the ef fect of turning away the ill will or displeasure ot men identified with all dements of his party. It is a puoltic policy which seems at times to In clude even the democrats, to say nothing of LaFoUstt. and other sen ate insurgents, and it lias been ap plied to North Carolina. Opinions as to this effort to please ull men, without reference to their political at llllutions or their previous condition of servitude, arc varied. In so far as the repabllcan party in North Car olina Is concerned, there are good politicians who do not think the pres ident's blanket benillcence will re sult in pleasing anybody. At this mo ment everybody except the democrats, who score a point now and then and count It Just so much gained, is up In the air. The friends of Mr. Dun can have received considerable recog nition, while the Butler-Morehead forces have received enough encour agement to keep up the scramble. The president's political advisers ap pear to have little liking for the Morehead-Butler faction, while the attitude assumed by the president hlmelf is not wholly dissimilar. Before the Greensboro convention the supporters of Congressman More head cuused the report to be circu lated that the president wished a change made in the party leadership, a report turned to good account by the opponents of Mr. Duncun. But in the light of current events It does not seem possible that the report could have had any foundation in fact. It Is not of record that the president has ever gone a step out of his way to consult the newly elected and eminently respectable chairman on any matter relating to federal pa tronage, much less to matters of party policy. Not a great while ago Mr. Taft asked what he could do but rec ognise the new organisation, measur ably, as though he took no great pleasure In the thought of doing so, and as though somewhat perplexed. Morehead has been to the White House, supported by his flying squad ron, seeking the favors which he .j k.i... e.it h one time would come to him automatically. For one thing President Taft Is pronaoiy juuk.m, Mr Morehend by the company he keeps, and It Is well understood here what the president thinks of More head's Butler connections. There has been talk In the state of a possible break between Morehead and Butler. Here such talk is regarded as die. When the president asked his c. Iters of the flying squadron about the I ut ter fiasco Morehead said nothing, because he had nothing to say. . They Are Close Friends.

A double tragedy was enacted at Dorsetts postofflce in Swain county, several miles from Bryson City Sat urday evening when Oscar Clark shot and almost Instantly killed D. J. Cal houn and then turning his pistol on the slain man's brothel , J. p. Cal-1 noun, shot him wice. Iniilctlne! wounds from which he died at the Mission hospital here lust night. According to the best information obtainable today a number of men had gathered near the postofflce where there was some drinking and Carousing, among he number being Clark, an unmarried man probably 30 years or age. It Is said that Clark was amusing himself by standing on a porch and with revolver In band shooting over the headB of some men not far distant. D. J. Cal houn, familiarly known in that sec tion as Dan Calhoun, a married man 25 years of age, went to Clark and remonstrated with him. insisting that he stop the shooting. The two men became involved in a wordy buttle when Clark suddenly drew his pistol and shot Dan Calhoun, the wound causing almost Instant death. J. P. Calhoun, known as Phil Calhoun in Swam county, went to the scene, when Clark turned the weapon on him, shooting him twice through the abdomen. Clark then, it is said, turned and the made his escape. A message today stated that Clark had not been captured; that it is thought lie lias escaped to Tennessee. Phil ip Cai.ioun was brought to Asheville yesterday morning accompanied by his lather, W. 1 Calhoun, and a cousin. The wounded man was op erated on at the Mission' hlspltal yes terday by Dr. U B. McBrayer and Dr. W. P. Whlttington of this city. Mr. Culhoun lingered until midnight last night when death ensued. The body was taken to Wayside this af ternoon for interment. J. P. Cal houn was 29 years of age and was also married and had a family. It Ib snld that Oscar Clurk has been In trouble at different times in Swain county and although he and the two men that he slew had always been good friends, he was known as a reckless sort of fellow and a man who would use a gun. It is said that he has been in trouble heretofore for carrying a concealed weapon and for disturbing religious worship.

They were all three arrested yester day afternoon by Sheriff Williams, who hurried to the scene vt the fight and brought them to Woavervllle, where they gave bond and were re leased.

Haleigh, Dec. 26. In his showing of North Carolina state finances made in his biennial re port to the governor and general as sembly that meets January 4, Hon. 11. It. Lacy, state treasurer, explains that he has been forced to draw on 1911 advance payments to the amount of $12,118 to meet current demands for on the general fund, there being no balance to the credit of the state for the biennial period closing No vember 30. Also that there are out standing obligations against the state amounting to $337,267 that runs up the deficit for the two years period between legislatures to $349,345. He attributes the deficit to the failure of tbe lust legislature to give due atten tion to the estimates he presented two years ago for the ensuing biennial period and to the passing of appro priation bills for various purposes without reference of the bills to the appropriations committee. Therefore he urges that the approaching legis lature pass no appropriation bills whatever without their being first referred to the appropriations committee. FstiitiatcM for Two Years. Mr. Lacy submits an estimates of the receipts and disbursements for the next two years 1911 and 1912 based on i lie income and expenses for the past two years with due allowance for various increases and shows prob able Income of $4,693,824. In his es timated expenses and disbursements, without any allowance for permanent Iiik appropriation for the three col imiirovemenls for any of the state In stitutions except the perpetual build ored normals, he shows an aggregate of $5,061,285, which includes tailing care of tho present deficit of $349,345. Thin shows a probable deficit for No vember 30, 1912, of $387,461 and in ludes $103,000 of stock In the Mat tamuskeet railroad and Elkin Al leghany railway that will be due the state's prison; also the overdraft of $12,118 on 1911 receipts is deducted from $70,004 that has been paid In by sheriffs on 1911 taxes. The treasurer asks the approaching legislature to provide for payment of $550,000 In short term bonds falling due Janunry 1, 1913, before a suc ceeding legislature meets. He pays high tribute to the bankers and other business men of tho state for taking care of the $3,430,000 bonds they took care of with the aid of two out-of-the-state bidders, last July, when ad vertisements for general bids had failed. He asks that there be made n radical changes in the present rev enue and machinery act of which the sheriffs and other officers have now gotten a good working familiarity. Da l4 Succeeds Freeman.
