Five months ago I was In despalr.not
knowing the cause of my desperate con.

and suffered from a chronic sore throat,

an awful nervousness and hysteria which
at times almost ran into insanity.

TO CUT AND SHIP TIMBER.
Discussion Over Bill to Repeal Law i?ol
To Report Favorably on
Watts Bill.
Special to Journal
Raleigh, February 3. Senator Pharr
was added to sub-committee which will
go to Marlon to Investigate the charges
of cruelty to convlots.
There was long discussion this after
noon before the Senate Judiciary com
mlttee, on Gilliam's bill to repearthe law
of 1901, forbidding corporations to cut
timber and ship it outside of this
Bute.
One of the speakers said the bill ought
to be repealed as an act of justice, as It
was passed through the Legislature in
a very outrageous manner.
The bill as originally introduced was
tabled, and later It was tacked on to
two sections of s little local bill, and the
whole affair sneaked through as a local
bill. It was contended that the act was
really unconstitutional, and in violation
of the Interstate commerce law.
Justice offered a substitute, striking
out all of the bill, except that part pro
hibiting the shipment of timber out of
the State. Gilliam antagonized Justices
substitute, and so did Blow. It was
stated In the course of discussion, that
some persons outside the Btate,who own
large timber tracts as corporations, had
transferred these to individuals, who of
course cannot be reached by law. Jus
tice Bald he did not think there were
many cases of this sort. He said the act
of 1901 had stopped Pennsylvania and
Michigan lumber men In their work of
deforesting Western North Carolina and
rafting timber down the Tennessee river
to KnoxvIUe, and had forced them to
build local mills, and thus cut timber
more slowly, employ more people, and
put more money In circulation.
Gilliam said that many saw mills just
over the line In Virginia, were owned by
North Carolinians who were there for
convenience, and the timber trade in
Eastern North Carolina had done more
than anything else to develop railways
and later other Industries there.
The committee decided to report Oil
Ham's bill favorably.
The House committee decides to re
port favorably tomorrow, Watts' bill
which prohibits the manufacture and
sale of liquor.
