A con ference of. manufacturers and producers' associations met here today to talk over the situation and formulate plans for pressing for some amendments when ti e Senate considers the Underwood bilL President Ktrby, of the Na tional Manufacturers' Associa tion; President Wilder, of the National Association of Tanners; C. A. Ayers, Baltimore; C. C. Houston, Lewisburg. Tenn, aud Paul E. Herschel of Peroia, 111., were among those leading the movement. The object of the conference as set out in a statement is to deal with the general proiosition of tariff revision as it is present ed in the Underwood bill and to look particularly to the working of the paragraph of the propos ed law which empowers the President to negotiate trade agreements of mutual concession with foreign countries. The manufacturers contend that if the President is given power to negotiate concessions in tariff rates, he also is empowered to negotiate increases, if they are warranted. KIKBY AT WHITE HOl'KE. President Kirby called at the White House and conferred with Secretary Tumulty about a for mal protest he is to present to President Wilson against the provision of the sundry civil bill which prohibits the use of a certain appropriation for en forcing the.Sherman law against farmers and workmen's organi zation. Mr. Kirby told Mr. Tumulty zUU.UUU business men would join in protest. Presi dent Wilson has indicated he would sign the bill, 'Interna tional fair play" was asked for by the manufacturers in a letter to Chairman Simmons of the Senate Finance Committee, con taining.a resolution adopted by the conference urging a clause in the tariff bill under which the free list would be extended to foreign Nations "only so rapidly as such countries agree on their part to extend what the Presi dent shall deem a fair equivalent for our own large concessisions. Another resolution requested that the provision for special duties "designed to prevent un fair or guerilla competition and to guard against bounty paid goods," be maid effective, "for all articles on the free list as well as those on the dutiable list. Copies were sent to Presi dent Wilson and to all the mem bers of Congress. WANT' PUBLIC HEARINGS. A committee was named to canvass the sentiment of the manufacturers of the country as to' whether thep desired public hearings before the Senate Com mittee. In addition to National and State manufacturing associa tions, reported at the conference today there were present agri cultural implefnout and vehicle hardware, glass, sugar, leather. fiber, reed, biscuit and milk product manufacturers.

Linney presented to the county through the board of commissioners, a very handsome portrait of his illustrious father, the Hon. R. Z. Linney, who passed from earth to rest on April 15, 1910, in his 09th year, and the same will occupy a place of honor on the walls of our county court room, which will indeed be a lasting pleasure to his many ardent friends and admirers in Watauga, and its presentation is sounetjiing of which the whole county is just- y proud, for there was no man who was better known or more lighly esteemed than R. Z. Lin ney, whose name is almost a household word in county and State. A man of giant intellect, courtly in bearing, yet, withall, gentle as a child. No one ever knew him but to admire him, for le always had a kind and help ful word for all. Yes, we are )roud of the portrait of this dis tinguished son of North Caroli na. Profs. B. R Dougherty, I. G. Greer and Capt. E. F. Lovill eft Tuesday afternoon for Ral eigh, where they go to look af ter a matter of business in which every citizen of Watauga is in tensely interested . just now that of going before the State Council and trying to procure the contract number of convicts from the State for work on the Watauga and Yadkin River Railroad. We hope to give a favorable report of this most important trip "an our next pa per, as upon its success depends very largely the early advent of the road into the county. Mr. Taylor watson, tens us that he has contracted to the Virginia & Carolina Railway 4,000 cross ties to be. delivered at Todd just as rapidly as' xs sible. Mr. Watson has no doubt but that contracts for ties on to Boone will be let in the very near future. Church v State. (The Observer.) Canton, May 8. A rather ex citing scene was enacted here yesterday afternoon when minister. Rev. Wiley Henson of Candler and Magistrate E. J Smathers came to blows as i resalt of a quarrel over a de cision rendered in the magis trate's court. Mr. Henson was an onlooker in the trial of a civ il matter and is said to have ex pressed his disapproval of the verdict rendered. Words fol lowed and the court and clergy proceeded to back up their as sertions with their fists Friends took a hand in the pro ceedings before any physica harm was inflicted by either, however, and the dignity of the court was again established It will be necessary for The new judge of the police court, J, N. Mease, to decide whether the magistrate has jurisdiction in the matter of delivering lis opinion freely to the Church o whether the clergy shall be su pre-me in civil matters as well as religeous topics. Still, this particular case cannot bo tried in police court because the new judge of iolice court, J. N. Measo, is a relative of one of the alleged assailants. Impressive ceremonies and handsome entertainment crown ed Memorial Day, Saturday May 10th, as a grand success. The exercises of the day were in the hands of the Daughters of the Confederacy and with untiring zeal and energy did they labor to give their fathers and the comrades of their fathers a royal good time. The old. Veterans were made to feel that that in domitable courage, loyalty to a cause and unconquerable spirit that characterized the mothers of the Confederacy still dominated the hearts of the daughters. Right on hand too, was also the Bonnie Blue Hag Chapter oftlte Grand Daughters of the Confed eracy to assist in the program and to show that the younger generation of the South still cherished the ideals and princi ples fought for by their grand fathers. In the early hours of the day the Veterans began pouring in from every section section of the County, and by 10 o'clock they could be seen gathering in little groups around the public square exchanging war time I divi auu wit:,) ncic in tiidi glory for they were living those memorable days over again. The exercises of the day proper began at 11 o'clock in the Graded School auditorium, and the opening number was Dixie oy the Woodman band. This thrilled the hearts of the "Re bels" and brought forth much applause. The presiding officer, Rev. E. N. Joyner, then called on Rev. J. F. England of the 35th North Carolina Regiment, C. S. A. to lead in prayer. The prayer was an eloquent one, ask ing the blessings of a Divine Father for gray-haired and battle-scarred comrades, and impor tuning for the preservation of our present Union. With much effect and feeling The Bonnie Blue Flag was then sung by the Bonnie Blue Flag Chapter. Comrade C. A. Little called the roll of the survivers of the John T. Jones Camp of Confederate Veterans. The remarks by Capt. Edmund Jones on the De parted Comrades were very ap propriate, and it was a high and well deserved tribute that he paid the departed heroes. After the band rendered "In the Sweet Bye and Bye", the list of the departed comrades was read by Capt. Jones. The Memorial address was de livered by Rev. Edmund N. Joyner, and it was a splendid ef fort on the part of the speaker. Beginning his address just after "How Firm a Foundatian" had been sung he held the closest attention of his audience and spoke with a convincing power that comes from experience. He admonished his comrades to keep alive the memories of the past and to never forget their devotion to their, State. You may call se- cession right or wrong but the; Confederate soldier fought be cause he loved his State." said J Mr. Joyner. "We used to laugh and joke-about the half rations. we had in camp. Once for coffee, one I got fellow hungry came into camp with a lot of sugar (and I didn't stop to ask j whee he got it from) I just i bought a pound for $HX), swiped j a skillet, parched some corn and ! ade me some coffee." I ' "My Country 'Tls of Thee" rendered by the band concluded the exercises in the Graded School auditorium. The line of march to the monument was then formed with members of the Bonnie Blue Flag Chapter fn front, the Veterans next and the Daughters of the Confeder acy bringing up the rear. It was an impressive sight to see these three generations assem bled around the monument, all doing honor to a Lost Cause, but still cherished and revered. Memories of the past were re called and sent trickling through the blood of two generations. With much tenderness and feel ing the flowers were gently stacked around the monument. The floral offerings were numer ous and profuse and paid a high tribute to a Cause that could not be uttered in words. "Taps" was men sounuea ana the exer cies were at end. All the Veterans, immediately alter the exercises repaired to the Henkel building where they were served with an elegant and sumptuous dinner by the Daughters. The good women of Lenoir never do things by halves, and this occasion was no exception. Tempting viands of every description were placed before the old Veterans. Their "Daughters" had prepared din ner for them and nothing was too good for "Pa." Of course the "Boys" enjoyed it, and they all frankly said so. And the Daughters looked as pleased as if they had been told so by their husbands. At 2 o'clock, the Veterans were given a free show at the Princess Theatre by the mana ger, Mr. t: uarrou. Tnis was one of the most enjoyable feat ures of the day, and for the first time many of the old soldiers took a look at motion pictures. They watched them with the eagerness of a child and they were just as hilarious and happy. Below we give a list, which is as near correct as we possibly could secure, of the Veterans present: S. M.

Co. E. 5 N. Co. A. 4N C. 52 N. C A meeting of great import- ance to every citixen of Lenoir was held in the graded school' auditorium Friday evening at 8 o'clock. A good sized crowd was present but it is a matter of regret that every mother in Le noir was not present, to hear the timely talk of Dr. Faison. The meeting was presided ov er by Mayor Squires and the first speaker introduced was Mr. M. L. McCormick, oi.Asiit ville. His subject was "Flics, Milk and Meat Inspection."! As a sanatarian, Mr. McCormick has but few equals, and his talks are plain, simple, practicable and convincing. He was one ot the first men in the country to wage war on the house fly and the results of his agitation are now being crowned with phen omenal success. Dr. I. W. Faison of Charlotte was the second speaker, his subject being the Diseases of Children and Childhood. Dr. Faison is a pleasant speaker and by his witty remarks kept his audience in a receptive mood throughout his entire speech. His was a heart to heart talk with the mothers, practical and full of common sense. The re sults of this meeting are to irove most beneficial to the .health of our town. Never make fun of a poor man. very often it is the fault of his employer. We had some butter at our boarding house yesterday that was no, we are not going to say it. If that butter was to hit us we would be disfigured for life. F. 26 Ky.; L. Absher, Co. F, 26 Ky.; Q. H. Poovey, Co. C. 28 Ky.; J. M. Bolch, Co. C. 2 Ky.; J. M. Crump. Co. F. 26 Ky.; J A., Bush, E.

The place of John Dicken's of Burlington was raided last Friday by Sheriff R. N. Cook., and his deputy C. D. Story and more than one hundred gallons of liquor was found. Dickens was arrested and placed under a $500 bond. The little five year old child of Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Williams ot Washington was bndly burn ed on last Thursday by playing with some matches. His clotti ng was ignited and the names were only extinguished after he lad been seriously injured. The people of Alexander and Wilkes counties are. agitating the building of a railroad from Wilkesboro to Taylorsville. le Watauga railroad has be come interested in the project to the extent of inspecting the proposed line. This was done Monday by the general mana ger and chief engineer. J. F. Corbett, E. E. Loftis and O. A. Bolden were each fin ed $50 and sentenced to fifteen days in jail by Judge Adams of the city police court of Ashe- ville on Friday on the charge of nciting a riot which resulted in hurling stones and injuring the property of the Asheville Power and Light Co. during the recent strike. Latest newt From the Watauga and Yadkia River Railway. (Watauga News.) John A. Denney, of Elkville, ' was in town last Thursday, and informed the Democrat that work on the Watauga and Yad kin River Railway was progress ing nicely, the number of hsmds 1 employed being considered. All told, there are now only about 600- men on the pay roll of the company ; 300 on grade 50 inHhe woods and the remainder at Grandin. The grade is practi cally completed to Darby, and Mr. Denney is decidedly of the opinion that by fall Wataugans can take the train at the loot of the mountain. A tram road is being built from Darby, into the forests of the company, which, when completed, will be eight miles in length, and as the timber is cut the bark, is removed for tanning purposes. and all of the marketable stuff will be taken from the land. The dearth of hands is the great drawback to the progress of the work just now, and Mr. Denney says if it were possible for the State to furnish her con tract number of hands at an early date, to do the stone work on the line, he has no doubt, whatever, of the road being completed to Boone and through the county, in the contract time, and save the bonds to the Com pany, Just now Mr. Denney is with Mr. H. M. Kent, of Lenoir, and Mr. L. M. Trivett, of Watauga, who were appointed by the court to uo the surwvuur on some land lying on L'.k, uow in litig-ation between the Gran din Lumber Co. and llutton aud Burbonny.
