Washington, May 1?. ? Today a
dslsgatlon of representatives of
North Carolina Pine Lumber Asso
ciation appeared before the finance
committee of the Senate in oppoai
tlon to that portion of the Canadian
reciprocity bill which Ukea the duty
off Amelcran lumber going Into Can
ads.
"the line of argument which waa1
strongly presented, Wii that the re
ciprocity pact aa it applies to lum
ber la reciprocal only In name, and
that Canada seta under It the right
to Import American lumber free,
while herself not granting equivalent
concession; that the States of VI r
ginla. North Carolina and South Car
olina are puniahed with eapecial se
verity in that their lumbermen hare
heretofore been able to serve the ter
ritory within a xone of several hun
dred milaa from the Canadian bor
der at an advantase aa compared)
with Canadian competition, whereas
under the pact no shorter distance'
to this rone would give the Qana-j
diana an advantage in freight rates,
that would be insurable from the
point of view of the Pine Lumber
Associativa. I
It waa agreed by the Southerners'
that he reduction of the lumber tar
iff .In the Payne-Aid rich bill has wlp
?d,. out : Ua ^?of about half of
ftp Southern aaw oil lmen, and thai
only thoee concerns baring large cap
ital have been able to make both
ends meet. The spokesmen who
made the most impression declared
themselves heartily in favor of tariff
Reform, but tbeyS contended that It
should not single out certain sections
for its operation. It waa remarked
that perhaps 80 per csnt of the bus
iness In which the North Carolina
Pine Lumber Association la chiefly
Interested la most affected by the)
proposed agreement with Canada.
The pOKvislons of Canadian law
prohibiting the exportation ..of logs
were ap-jwid by George W. Jones,
representing the Camp Lumber Com
Wm; agent at New York, who ex
pressed himself aa favoring fair re
ciprocity, but aib' opposing what waa
called reciprocity without being
auch. There la undoubtedly a good
deal of aympathy with the Southern
lumbermen among the democratic
membership of the finance commit
tee, and a strong effort will probably
be mads to amend the treaty.
A atrange fact aa Ur ths republi
can status with rsgard to the tariff
14 that the majority of the atand
patters are for the reciprocity bill,
while ft&e Insurgents are against it.

I for road Improvement was thrashed
out before the supreme court on ap

court will be awaited with keenest
inters t.
It Is Road Trustees of Ypungsville
Township, Franktin "County vs. C. A.
Webb Jk Co., Asheville, who has con
tracted for $10,000 of the Youngs
vllle bonds and refuses to fulfill its

are Invalid through not havlug been
issued on the strength of a vote by
the people of the township, but . un
der legislation authorisation only.
In the trial before Judge . Webb sus
tslned - the contentions of ' Webb &
Co., that the bonds are invalid. It is
estimated that there are more than
one half million dollars of bonds of
this class issued under practically
the same conditions. The movement
for the bonds In Young&ville town
ship was started early In 1910, a
bill for the control of the roads was
drawn and adopted in mass meeting
of the voters, a majority of the qusl
ifled votej* favoring It and the-ISTl
legislature enacted the road bill Ipto
flvr, authorizing the bond Issue that
voters had approved. Webb &
Wo., purchased. 110,000 of the bonds
and then refused to receive them as
Invalid. Attorney General T. W.
Bickett and his law partner, R. B.
White are counsel for the YoungB

is declared a mnlclpality as to the
right to issue bonds.
Counsel claim the bonds are valid

a municipal corporation for neces
sary expense, insisting that courts
have established this doctrine in
North Carolina through numerous
cited precedents.

Faasen, a Jeweler, of PlttstOL, near

strolled in. "Here are some fine dia

out.
"That's a beauty," admitted Mar
cus, picking up one of the largest.
He remarked that It must be easy
to steal stones like that from the
diamond games by swallowing them.
"Why I'll bet I could swallow that
slly," he said.
"It *rtll cost you 150 If you do,"
Id Fassen' laughingly.
"That's a go," explained Marcus.
He popped the diamond la his mouth
seised a glass of water and with a

Richmond. V?.. Mar 1?. ? D.
Cooper, of Henderson, N. C., pre
dent of the American Cotton Man
facturera' Association, In dellverli
his annual address berore the cc
ventloa y?aftepday aborning urged t
necessity JoVtbeflouth
to raise mc
cotton, .to. rising dema ..
of the miaTOCto^ers.
"The crop of 1910-1911 will
worth flftJM(J>00,000." he aald. "
twice as much as the output of ;
the cold islnea of the world combl
ed fop the same year.
"Cfope Of 11.600,000 to 18.00C
000 bales annually are necessary f<
legitimate demands at remunerate
prices to the frowen Less tbo
thla amount means manipulated ma
kets and unsatisfactory trade conrt
tiona.
"It la estimated that tbe annu;
consumption of' American cotton f<
the laat four years has averaged 11
650.637 bales. Thla, however, do
not take into account the tot
amount of American cotton whit
was taken directly from the marke
by spinners, also 20,600 bales of I?
dla cotton alone imported.
"The increased production <
American cotton has not kept paf
with the increase of the world's co.
ton spindles. .
"In 1907 the'iotal estimated nun
ber of cotton spindles In the wori
were 114.0M.168. At the close .c
August 1910 they had increased t
an estimated total of 133. 384,794. r
an increase ol seventeen per cent, t:
three years.
"Notwlthataadlng this enormot
increaae of the world's spindles, du
lng the same p*ri<&, there was a rc
ductlon br' irrJir two and one-ha
millions of bales of American cotto
produced fop three years, 1907-08-0'
as compared with the production c
similar periods of 1904-1905-06. Yf
there was an estimated increase r
seven millions- of seres In the year
1907-08. greater than 1904-05-06
"In other words, while the nurr
ber of spindles and acreage Increar
ed enormoualy, the production c.
American cotton declined."
Prealdent Cooper deplored frictic
between cotton growers, manufar
turers and pepreeentatlvee of the e?
changes relative to the methods c
the cotton exchanges. He state
that It would be to their mutual in
tereat If the exchanges themeslv*
would revise, wtthout further dela
their laws and methods so aa to er
courage tbe cooperation of the mar
ufacturers and producers. He sta
ed that Arthur R. Marsh, of the Ne*
York Cotton Kxcbange, had been ir
?I ted to address the mwtufactupe
in the afternoon.
Mr. Cooper said the business alt
uatlon during the past yesr had bee
encouraging, depression having bee
continuous during the entire yea:
A general curtailment doubtleei
would have relieved the sl?jUtyO'
between buyer and seller, and tfc
partial elimination of the evlla c
cancellation were proof that com
