BICKETT GRANTS
THREE PARDONS IN
DAY AT RALEIGH
Unusual Features Attended ' The
Conviction of All of These
Men
RALEIGH,. Aug. 2.- Unusual fea
tures attached to the pardon of three
people by Governor Bickett Saturday.
In the case of - Frank Foster of
Polk county, the man gets his release
after spending some time in' the
death chambeT four years ago when
he was convicted ' of .murder in the
first degree. J The death "(sentence
was commuted., and now, after four
years, evidence has turned up which
indicates that some other man fired
the . shot which killed the man
Charged up to Forter.
Toby and Boss Fain of Cherokee
county, watched a performance of
Bill Hart in one of his wild and wooly
western stories, and afterwards went
out to emulate the rough and ready
movie hero. - The result was that
they robbed a messenger of two
thousand " dollars and were sent to
the penitentiary for seven and ten
years for their crimes.
At least the motion picture fea
ture is believed by the governor to
have played an important part in the
crime, so he grants Toby an Immedi
ate pardon, and gives Boss a pardon
';at the xpiration5of the present year.
CRIMINAL PROVISIONS

mand for Clothing.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. Ho
' ward E. Flgg, special assistant
: to the Attorney General in en
' forcenient of the Lever Law
. against profiteering, charged to
day that manufacturers and Job-
bers of wearing apparel were at
tempting through carefully pre-,
pared propaganda "to- stampede
i-etailers and the t public, into a
renewed false demand'' for
' clothing, and ? thereby "s force
. prices higher. ' . - :
'The department of justice,"
said Mr, Figg, is fully advised
v of the several phases - of this
carefully: planned campaign, and
it only remains to fix personal
; responsibility before ' applying
the criminal provisions of the
Lever Law."., '
In a formal statement - Mr.
' Fig? charged that manufacturers
and jobbers were circulating
propaganda "similar to that used
to mulct the public during the

USED THREE TIMES
FAST AS IT
One-Third of This 'Great Re
source Has Been Wasted in
. v Production
NEW YORK, Aug. 2. The amount
of timber cut each yeaK from the for
ests of the United States is about
three times the annual growth, it is
declared . by the National Bank of
Commerce, in New York in a review
of the American lumber industry pub
lished in the August number of its
magazine. Commerce Monthly. Lack
of an adequate ; national forestry J
policy, together witbf speculation in 1
privately owned-timber lands and the
absence of cooperation within the in
dustry itself, have all combined rapid-1
ly to reduce the country's timber ,
resources. Provisions ior reroresia
tion up to the present have been en-
tirely inadequate and the oncoming j
growth is ordinarily or inferior
species and grade. : j
Third of Lumber Wasted j
It is estimated that the United i
States originally possessed 850,000,-'
OOO acres of timberland, of which
aout 545,000,000 acres remain,"
Commerce Monthy says. "The origi
nal forest acreage contained ap
proximately 5,200 billion board feet
of merchantable timber: The latest
estimate of timber remaining is 2,
826 billion feet. .Of this difference
about one-third has been lumbered,
one-third destroyed by forest fires
and one-third wasted.
"The most striking characteristic
of the American lumber industry has
been its lack of cohession.. This has
led to a maladjustment of lumber
production to the requirements of
its market. Though the. industry is
at the present time prosperous, it
contains elements of instability. It
has Abcea dominated by a strong In
dividualism, and thoubh, it has been
very American in h way, it has been
i hi rk ward
developing common ideas
about if 3 production. Coordination
lies been made difficult by the fact
that it Is not economically feasible
to assemble the raw material timber
-at a few points where manufactur
ing may be concentrated, as it is pos
sible in the iron and steel industry
and others. . v -

r This ancient city,-which was call

BACKED BY .
TRUTH
You have heard people, read
an advertisement and then say, '
"I don't believe it." '
Once upon a time they might
have been right," for dishonest
people have advertised. But
there are two good reasons why
practically all advertising to
day is honest. '
One reason is that no good
newspaper will print dishon
est advertising.
The other reason is that ex
perience has proven that dis
honest advertising hurts the
advertiser far more than it does
the buyer of the goods adver
tised. This fact is easy to under
stand. A person may be dis
honest in a quiet, sneaky way,
for a long time and never ac
tually be caught at it. But an
advertisement is a combination
agreement and guarantee.
; A merchant or manufacturer
inserts an advertisement in a
paper. -That advertisement
carries certain statements and -certain
claims fpr the goods
mentioned. To speak such
statements and claims is one
thing; but to print them, and
sign your name to them, and
to send this out for everyone
to read, is giving the public a
guarantee. "
That's why it will pay you
to read advertisements' and buy
. advertised goods. Every ad-r-
vertisement , is your guarantee
'Of value.
DECISION REACHED
SEEMED TO BE FAIR
Idea Now is to' Have Slates
Conform to Increases
Granted
(By Associated Preaa.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 "Reasons
requiring an increase of inter-state
rates are very persuasive of the need
forN increases in intra-state rates,"
declares a report sent to various
state railway commisions today by
three representatives of both com
missions, who-sat with the interstate
commerce commission during . - the
public hearings on the billion, and a
half dollar railroad rate case.
"When all matters are considered,"
says -the report, "and remembering
that where thirteen men are consid
ering contraverted questions ' and
proposed policies their differences of
opinion must be composed or decid
ed by the majority, we believe thai
the conclusions, considering ; all
things, are just' and fair, and we give
it our approval. ' ''',-
. ' Effective in September.
"The increased rates permitted
under ' the ruling in ex parte" 7474
will probably go into effect" Septem
ber 1, 1920. The, operating revenues
of the railroads under. present rates
and conditions are recognized by all
persons as insufficient. A part of the
responsibility , to meet the situation
rests upon the state commissions..
Such increases, as will be made in;in-tra-state
rates should if possible he
made effective September 1, 1020J
- The report is signed by William
D. B. Ainey, chairman of the pulic
service commission- of Pennsylvania;
Royal C. Dunn, of the Florida Rail
road commission; and John A.: Giher,
of the Iowa Railroad commission.
Participated in Conference '
, "We participated in the j confer-,
ence in the same manner as tne mem
bers of the commission,", the state
commissioner's report declares, "be
ing, invited by them to take; part in
the 4iscussion and express our views
will lull freedom.; The- members of
the . commission gave to the case in-
de Jiendeafe an-aeftleient pHatioai
examing and discussing it with the
evident, desire to' reach correct - con
clusions and apply to 'increase in
such a manner as to deal justly with
the whole country.
"The question presented were very
numerous.- involving the commerce of
the whole country and the entire rail
transporation system or the United
States, many of these questions being
of a complex character. In their de
cision of the cases they were looking
to the observance of the statute and
fixing in some way every , rate how
effective. . ' ; ,
"Speaking generally every contra
verted question. concerning all classes
and commodities and all rates, rules
and practices of rail carriers and all
theories of j shippers ' and carriers
were presented and heard in the
testimony and in arguments before
the commission and given careful
consideration in . the conference.
- Views of the Majority , v :
The commissioners' were not of one
mind on all questions, and their con
clusions jn many cases was result of
recognizing that the views of the
other man must be taken into account
and that there must be some-sur-render
by each before an agreement
could be reached. ' In some instances
the conclusion of the majority is the
view expressed in the ruling, On
some of the questions our views were
not in full accord with the majority
and . in some instances we three state
commissioners did not have unity
of view. . ,

NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN
POLES AND BOLSHEVISTS
(By Associated Preaa) : v
WARSAW, Aug. 2. Doubt was ex
pressed today in diplomatic" circles
here as to whether anagreement for
an armistice would come- out of the
negotiations between the Polish and
Soviet emissaries at Baranovitchi. It
was thought the Soviet authorities
were likely to insist upon terms too
severe for the Poles to accept. The
Polish delegates carried with them
into the Russian lines a portable wire
less outfit which they intended to use
for ciramunication with Warsaw.
Officials said this afternoon, however,
that it might be days before the
negotiators were heard from.
