Signatories of the treaty proposed

of at least nine months, while any

In the case of Japan, as with the ten
other nations that have received the
proposal favorably, the resixmse ap

involved, and none of the details

FLUCTUATIONS IK THE "
TRUCK MARKET.
Q.:
About as Changeable as the Figures
of Wall Street.
Rocky Mount, N. C. June The
fluctuations in the truck market arc
as changeable as the figuves on Wall
street and are just as difficult to pre
dict, and especially has this been the
case this year, when cold weather,
drought and low prices have been
three factors to be reckoned with.
There are now plenty of strawber
ries ripening in the Mount Olive and
Chadbourn district, but shipments
are extremely short because the mar
ket is verv much oft at this time.
On the other hand, the unexpected
has happened with shipments of dew
berries from the Fayetteville district
and the indications at this time are
that this district will surpasfi the
showing last year, when about thirty-
five ear loads were shipped.
The shipments of potatoes from
the Parkton and Lumber Bridge sec
tion are showing up well and there
seems to continue nn active demand
for potatoes on the northern markets.
There are beinit handled north more
than one hundred and fifty cars of
perishables each day. and in grand to
tal the perishable shipments seem to
be showing a marked improvement
following the recent rains in the
southern sections of the State.

GREAT PENNMANSHTP.
A Boy's Inability to Write Causes
Mother Great Anxiety for a Few
Hours.
"When my son went to college two
years ago be wrote a good hand."
said a Concord lady. "Now we have
the greatest difficulty making out
what be writes about in his letters,"
she continued. The soir's-short coni-ings-in
the art of writing had caus
ed the good mother great worry and
anxiety for a eriod of a few hours
recently. Ijisl week she received a
letter from the boy and after giving
it a most studious perusal she man
aged to decipher or thought she had
deciphered the words. "I have
wrenched my arm." This immediate
ly caused the mother grave concern
and she began to make inquiry cn
cerning his injury. The more she
thought of her son being injured the
more concerned she lecaiiie. After
suffering several hours of mental
anguish she began thinking of rush
ing to the side of her injured boy
to aid in alleviating his suffering
and comfort and cheer him during
his sickness. She again picked up
the letter and began reading the sec
tion which told of the injury. Sud
denly a smile flickered across her
countenance and all tear vanished.
Instead of reading "I have wrench
ed my arm" the almost undecipher
able script read. "I have finished all
my exams."

SUB COMMITTEE OPPOSES
FREE MEAT AND FLOUR.
Voted to Tax Beef, Mutton and Pork
Ten Per Cent.
Washingt. ii, June 2. Meats and
Hour will not go on ifce free list in
ihe Democratic tariff law if recom
mendation of the senate tins see sub
committee in charge of the agiicul
lural schedule is accepted. This im
poitnnt alteration of (he CnderwooJ
bill as it passed the Iwiuse was de
lei mined upon today by the subcom
mittee composed of Senators Wil
liams. Shively ami (ion. It. was de
cided in carrying out the determina
tion li. iwrfect the I'nderwood bill by
equalizing raw materials and their
products tltat it would be wiser t-
levy nominal duties n meats and
Hour products than to put livestock
and giain on the free list.
In accordance with this decision the
subcommittee look from the free list
fresh meats beef, mutton and pork
and iuade tliem dutiable at 1 peri
cent, ad valorem. Wheat flour wa
restored to the dnitable list at the
specific rate of 4." cents a barrel. '
with other wheat products at 10 per
cent, ail valorem, and the I'nderwood
duty on oats was reduced from 10
cents pei busliel to ti cents per bush
el, with a compensatory duty on oat
meal said to be approximately ." per
cent, ad valorem.
Several weeks ago the committee
determined to equalize the rates one
way or another, and a few days ago
President Wilson was consulted
about the matter bv Senator Sim-
t mons. chairman of the finance com
; millee. and Senator Williams.
Another development today was the
approval, without change, of the su
j gar schedule, as it passed the house,
! and other schedules advanced to va
rying stages of 'completion in the sub-co;i:iuiitees.
