What ,'. Man facturers Want is Sta
biliiy to Avoid Expense of
Changing Package, Etc.

Washington! ID. c., May 26.-Rcpre-
sentatives OF practically all the tobacco
manufacturers in the United States with
the exception. of the cigar manufacturers,
met here today to protest against the
proposed advance Of two cents pound in
the tax on tobacco contemplated in the
Senate amendments to the tariff bill.
There We're present and represented
about 100 manufacturers. The total to-
bacco output, exclusive of cigars, of the
United States as about 300, 100000 pounds
annually. and of this amount over $780,
100000 We're represented. Gen. E. Nc
Alpin, of,5New York. was chairman and
T.. r. Allen, secretary 33i,dut
Resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed, which briefly cite the injury inflicted
upon the trades by the frequent changes
Of the tax, rate and protest against the
adoption of the Senate amenGment. The
meeting adjourned to present the resolu
tions at the capitol.
Mr.. Allen. in speaking Of the proposed
tax increase, said:
1T is not SO much the amount OF the
tax we object to as the expense involved
in a change at all. An increase of two
cents pound means smaller packages.
That is the only way the manufacturers
could pay it. and a change in the size of
packages means an outlay of just about
81 100000 in changing stamps dies,
moulds and wrappers. We ntve had three
changes of tax in the past twenty years.
eight cents, sixteen cents and six cents,
which it is now. When this change was
made in 1893 Congress was going to re-
duce it to four cents, but we told them
rather to make it six cents and then let
it alone. What we ask rs stability. The
fluctuations are what ruins our business"

presence of an unusually large number
of visitors. He said the college has had
a very successful year. 1t has had pros

very satisfactory, with nothing TO make
sad. The class work has never been bet-

THE JAMES SPRUNT INSTITUTE
Address by Rev. DR.. Peyton Hoge. of
Wilmington.

Kenansville, n. c., May 26.-(Special.)
The first annual commencement of the
James Sprunt Institute was held here
yesterday. Rev. Il. V. Lancaster, Super
intendent of the Institute, delivered the
address of welcome and outlined the pol
icy of the school for the coming year
He announced that thousand dollars
had been promised for the erection of n
new building, which will be ready for use
by the time the fall term opens The ad-
dress of the day was delivered by Rev
DIR. Hoge, of Wilmington, who compli-
mented the able address of Mr. Walter
Fl. Page at the Normal and discussed the
Importance Of Christian and female edu-
cation. 1t was an able argument and
pleased every body. The past session of the
institute has been a very successful one,
and the Wilmington Presbytery and
those who have aided in establishing the
school should be proud of its work. This
new enterprise bids fair to do more for
the county of Duplin and the surrounding
community than any similar effort in the
history of the county.

DIR. YATES ON SHAMS.
a Strong Address at Trinity High School
Commencement

Trinity, n. c., May 26.-(SpeciaD-
DR.. E. A. Yates delivered the literary ad-
dress before Trinity High School yes
terday. His subject was "Shams." The
address abounded in wit, humor and fine
Thought. Only a few main points can be
given. The speaker showed that there is
shaun in everything almost of today.
There is especially sham in education.
Some men proclaim that this is the age
of mind; that the age of muscle has
passed away. This is Il sham. There can
be nothing accomplished by the mind un-
less there is muscle to carry out what
the mind directs. Puny bodies may do
for fools and idiots; not for true types
of men. 1t is folly to say this age has
lowered infinitely above the Greeks and
Romans and some men of mediaeval
times in mental strength. This age has
done marvels in inventions certainly
But there is nothing new under the
SUM-. We are walking in the beaten
paths of thought. The only improvement
we have made over the past along men
tai and spiritual lines is in altruism, and
the gospel brought that. The speaker
paid high tribute to wOman. showing that
the most of her ''sham'' is the fuss and
feathers;' ut heart She is noble and true.
One mistake the average young lady
makes is that she must marry
In the defamation contest, the medal
was awarded to S. Z. Thomas. of Leaks
vile, y. G. The concert last night was
very enjoyable.

on Rice and Mica.

Washington, d. c., May 26.-(Special.)
Senator Butler is paying close atten-
ton to the tariff debate. He is in con-
slant attendance while the bill is under
consideration. He has several amend
ments which he will press to a vote. He
wants an increase in the duty on mica.
and also on rice.
Most Of the Southern Senators will
stand by him ON these amendments.
Speaking of his amendments to place
cotton bagging ON the free list, the Sena-
tor said to-day he could not see the
justice in giving the farmers of the West
free binding twine, while denying the
farmers of the South free cotton bag
ging. a very warm debate is looked for
when cotton bagging is reached on the
bill. The fight against the increase ON
the tax ON tobacco from 6 to 8 cents per
pound is waxing warm. The tobacco
men from Kentucky, Maryland, New
York and North Carolina are here in
force, and they have put in some good
work to-day. The North Carolina men
in Congress are working hard to knock
out the Senate amendments to the tobacco
schedule, and my information is they will
be successful.
At last Col. Jim Boyd wins out. His
name went to the Senate to-day for the
office of Assistant Attorney General.
This is the place he really wanted 1t
suits him. There will be no objection to
his confirmation.
1t was said this evening that Kenneth
