Shingles are expensive, but they arc actually cheaper during ten years than a ready roofing which needs frequent painting to keep it free from leaks. Am;rtite roofing costs less than half as much as shingles and does not need painting either. It is easier to lay and will give years of long hard service without any care. Amatite has a real mineral sur face. That's why it needs no painting. Unce laid on your roof III your building has real protection. Amatite is easier to lay than ever this year. The liquid cement for the laps does not require heating before use. A three-inch smooth margin is left at the edge of the sheet so that the laps will be tight fitting and easily cemented.'

For a long time it has been be lieved that "protected" Ameri can inanuiacturers nave Deen selling their products at lower prices to foreigners than to their fellow-citizens. Until recently, however, it has not been known that this had become a recognized practice, The latest testimony to that effect is in a pamphlet prepared by Mr. James G. Par sons, Secretary of the Tariff Re form Committee, and entitled "Protection's Favors to Foreign ers." In this pamphlet is set forth the practice of manufac turers who sell for export at one set of prices, necessarily low enough to get the trade in foreign markets, and in the home market at another set ot prices, kept as high as the tariff, with the com binations and agreements foster ed by it, will permit. 'According lo the testimony collected in this pamphlet, leather, for instance. is sold at five to ten per cent be low domestic prices; lead, at lit tle more than half the home price; and steel rails at ten dol lars a ton less than the price in this country $28 to $32. Re garding the last-named commo dity, the tariff hearings last De cember afforded a mass of infor mation. The testimony of Mr. Schwab, President of the Bethle hem Steel Company, deserves citation, especially the following passage between him and the Hon. Champ Clark, the Demo cratic leader of the Committee on Ways and Means: Mr. Clark: Do you know of your own knowledge what is the greatest discrepancy there ever was between the home price of steel rails and the foreign price? Mr. Schwab: The greatest discrepancy? Mr. Clark: Yes. Mr. Schwab: You mean how high in this country and how low in Europe? Mr. Clark: How much lower did American manufactured steel rails sell for abroad as compared with what they sold for at home : Mr. Schwab: I should say pro bably $10; I am not sure of that, however; that is merely a guess. Mr. Clark: It is a habitual process to sell them cheaper abroad, is it not? Mr. Schwab: Yes, sir; and a very wise process. . . . Mr. Lockran: Could you ex plain the wisdom of it to the vic tims of it as well as to the bene ficiaries of it? From the point of view ot the American consumer, where does the wisdom of it come in? Mr. Cockran: I am not think ing of the consumer. I am think ing of the manufacturer, (Laughter.) 1 presume there is no argument there. Mr. Cockran: There is no ar gument there. The more you get the merrier. Mr. Schwab: I have said it fit was a wise provision ior the manufacturer. You cannot let a steel plant stand idle. The fires in your furnaces and the heat costs go on whether you are mak ing steel or not. Mr. Cockran: You said as a matter of fact that there are dif- terent rates charged lor your products abroad, and you charge less abroad than you charge at home? Mr. Schwab: We usually charge abroad what we can get. Mr. Cockran: You do that at home, do you not? Mr. Schwab: Yes, ot course, Mr. Cockran: You cannot, o: course, put a pistol to a man s head and take all he has . Mr. Schwab: You can in some instances; yes. In so essential a commodity as sugar, Mr. Parsons declares that refined sugar has been exported to Great Britain at 2.6 cents pound when the wholesale price in this country was 4.55 cents. the difference in favor of the foreign consumer being 1.95 cents, the exact amount of the duty on refined sugar! The pro tection given to the Sugar Trust "is equivalent to 78.7 per cent ad valorem. Mr. Parsons furth er informs us that Something like six billion pounds of refined sugar are con sumed annally in this country, of which the Sugar Trust refines about four , billion five hundred million pounds, or seventy-five per cent. Yet this giant indus try, noted for its enormous pro fits and great accumulated wealth, not content with its ex treme protection (the net protec tion on refined sugar is from six teen to.twenty cents per hundred pounds, while the total labor cost ot rehnmer does not exceed ten cents) has deliberately cheated A Pretty Home Wedding Mar riage of a Popular Young Couple. Reported for The Robetonian. On last Thursday eveninsr. despite the inclemency of the weather, quite a large crowd of friends and relatives gathered at the home of Mrs. Elizabeth McNair, near Rennert, to wit ness the beautiful marriage of her daughter, Miss Bertha, to Mr. William Claude Lewis. The home had been most artistically decorated for the occasion by loving hands, the color sche'me being green and white. Large wreaths of green foliage and white flowers were fastened at each corner of the room and caught up in the center, under which was erected a most beau tiful arch, decorated with the same colors, and from that was suspended a large bell covered entirely with green leaves and lined with white petals. Promptly at eight-thirty to the grand old Mendelssohn Wedding March, sweetly render ed by Miss Mamie McNair, of McColl, S. C, the attendants be gan their march. Leading the procession was the youngest sis ter of the bride, Miss Clyde Mc Nair, and her cousin, Miss Blanche Ausley. of Ocala, Florida, who entered from the side doors. metandmarched together through the arch and took their stand just beyond. Following them came Miss Lizzie Bethae, of Sellers, S. C. and Miss Mary McGoogan. They were all dressed in most becoming white dresses and carried bouquets of pink roses. Then through the side door entered the maid of honor. Miss Leither Lancaster, the pretty niece of the bride, wearing an elaborate dress of white embroidery and carrying white roses. At the same time from the opposite door came the handsome groom with his best man, Mr. Lonnie Brown, of Rowland, and through the mid dle door entered the sweet little flower girls. Misses Margeline Tolar and Sarah Mae Walker, strewing roses for the bride, who entered on the arm of her brother, Mr. Evander McNair. She looked unusually sweet and girlish in a white messaline satin dress made empire and carrying a shower bouquet of white car nations and sweet peas. She met the groom just inside the door and marched OUT RAEFORD WAY. ABOUT ROADS. Death of Mr. Randal Currie Rains Cause Dam 1 1 Break. Correspondence of The Rubesonian. We had fine rains last week. and our crops are lookincr bet ter. Mr. Arthur Harris, of the Galatia neighborhood, was a visitor in this community Sunday. Miss Lovine McKay, of Clark- ton, visited Misses Jane and Bonnie McBryde last week. Mrs. Mary Gibson, of Scot land county, is visiting at the home of her daughter, Mrs. A. McG. Jones. Mr. Luther Clark, who has been very sick with typhoid pneumonia, is getting better, we are glad to say. The big rains we had last week caused the dam to break over at Mr. J. A. McQueen's mill. It is now impassable but they ex pect to have it repaired at once. We are sorry to learn that Mr. Wm. Wright has typhoid fever. We wish for him a speedy recovery. Mr. Randal Currie died at his home near Bethel church Thurs day morning,' the 3d. Mr. Cur rie was about sixty years old. He was a man who was highly respected by all who knew him. He leaves to mourn him one brother and four sisters, besides a host of other relatives and friends. We deeply sympathize with the family, and commend them to Him who heals the brc ken-hearted.

Hundreds of thou sands of salaried men, cashiers, expert mechanics, doctors, and small shopkeepers,- who have about the same income, if they analyzed their expenditures, and compiled the tariff-tax in them, as this lieutenant has done, would find that they pay an in come tax of something more than ten per cent. Is this more fair, or less, than to make men with an income of $10,000 a year or more pay a direct income tax of three per cent.' Some Suggestions as to Building Roads ShouldKeep on Im proving the Law. To the Kditor of Tlie Uuliosoiuan: I have seen several pieces in the recent past on the road ques tion, etc. I have some views on the subject. To begin with, there has been a great deal said, but not more than should have been said. If you will travel over Robeson county you will find that there has been more permanent work done than gossip gives credit for. For instance, most of our roads across water courses have been damned, which is permanent, and means a vast deal to the R. lD. routes and to the traveling puL- ic. We are inclined to find fault, which is easier than performing the task. The things that I shall suggest are only my views on the subject. In the first place, with the limit ed amount of capital that we have for road building we should use all economy possible. In some instances, as 1 see it, we have failed to do this; for in stance, in grading a road.instead of taking nature's top soil and hauling it for some distance to fill in with, I would suggest a better plan would be to take this top earth that is necessary to make a finishion the clay after the top has been removed, in stead of transfering that top soil to fill in with in making these dams, to take, say, a space four teen feet broad in the middle ot the road and pile it out on either side the depth of the sou or sand and then remove the remainder of the excavation to build these dams with. As soon as you get the grade deep enough, transfer your sand or top soil back on this clay, instead of hauling this away and then have to haul similar dirt so far for that purpose. When this top dirt is put back on this lourteen-ieet space, then hnish your grading to correspond with your other grading. I presume that we would not need sand on a space broader than fourteen feet. Then.another thing would be economy, as I see it: When we have raised these dams above high water, grade off the hills with a gradual grade and when we get on the hill, where the road bed is absolutely solid, grade and drain that without removing na ture's top soil, down into the clay, which makes it so much more difficult to get a permanent road bed on clay or in other words makes too expensive; it would take too long to get around We think tha R. F. D. routes need recognition. A large part of them have had but very little We want to learn how to econo mize in every possible way. Get a road law that will tend to that end, that can be executed econom ically. It's easier to make debts than it is to pay them. So let's move cautiously and get everything thoroughly systema- tised before the bond issue. The Dresent law. as I see it, is not iust what we want;it needs some amendments ;so let's keep on try ing to improve till we get the best law that wisdom and exper ience can frame. We have been trying different laws and ye there is room for improvement, In the first place, as I see it we want four days for labor. If you will stop and see who is benefit ed by good roads and find out who is bearing the burdens this will answer the above question. It would be democracy to place the revenue derived form corpor ations to be distributed per capi ta as to miles of roads in the sev eral townships, etc. All of which is easily explained. W. P.

The amount of revenue raised for the Government by the pres ent tariff is about three hun dred millions; the amount which 65 that tariff makes the public pay for what they buy, more than they would pay under a tariff for revenue only, is about two billions. The difference is one of those forms of acquisition which can go by no other name than graft. It is money taken regularly from the pockets of some and 70 of are Dark Flour Now. Durham Herald. The flour to be purchased after June 1 must be unbleached and already house-wives are protest ing. The pure food acts of recent Congresses make it unlawful to use in the flour now manufactur ed what has been known as the bleaching process. It was never regarded as a dangerous concoc tion but the law that put it out of business went into effect ear lier in the month. . By extending the limit in North Carolina the product on hand was sold. The roller flour henceforward will be of far less beauty than the article that has been on the market before. But the ban is on it and any firm that puts up the bleached product will have his goods confiscated and other 'trouble will probably be given him. Conld Not Be Better.

I have long since forgiven the graduates, hut ii- number of essays and speeches that I have heard upon the sub ject would far excel the turill' schedule now being considered in the Senate. We haven't got half enough of graduates, but they should be graduates from different kinds of colleges than those we are hav ing.

Dr. Hill. and see for yourselves. 1 sup pose one must keep up with the procession of the age, but I re member the time when a frame school house was a curiosity. All school houses were log houses, and in them were some good teachers, and some hard study ing was done; also some good old-fashioned thrashing. On every side of us we see the world progressing as never be fore. If our farmers were as progressive as they are in the North-Western States we'd have such a county as would be the pride of the State. Our soil, our drainage facilities if utilized our people, the real old Anglo Saxon stock in its purity every thing in our favor, if ur sturdy young men had the proper agri cultural knowledge of the soil's possibilities. A short trip in the country some time ago showed me farmers pursuing the same old fogy policy that will keep them down as long as they pur sue it, such as throwing two fui rows together, then split out the bone, and then apply some 8.22 fertilizers in the turrows. I would like to see the State establish a real college for farm ers, ana not in Kaieign, euner. Let it be purely for agricultural purposes and none other.
