meeting at Charlotte, also IN May, VI
cotton mill owners from North Carollla'
South Carolina and Georgia to take ac-
ton looking to tiding over the depres-
sion in the cotton manufacturing pusl-
ness. After deciding that Mckinney
times enforced Il curtailment OF one
fourth of the product, these successlu
and active manufacturers also declded
to appont q committee to cooperate WIN
the Greensboro convention with view
TO remedy .ng the determinations which
now iniure their business.
''In the Charlotte meeting, Mr.. Caesar
Cone, president of the Cone Finishing
Mills said that. there was no other State
in the Union with such high freight
rates as North Carolina. Coming from
a man holding such a high position in
the manufacturingaworld, this statement
is most remarkable
1T will not be contended that the
manufacturers and shippers present in
these meetings, representing corpora
tons having capital all the way from
100000 to S4000,000 were actuated by
any prejudice or hostility to railroads or
other corporations. They believe in the
fullest protection to great enterprises and
in every encouragement to capitalists, but
they recognize that high tariff diScriml-
mating against manufacturers Is one OF
the great causes that prevents the in
vestment of capital in this State. Par
ticularly do they protest against rates
that give their Virginia and Georgia
competitors an unjust advantage over
them in their business. The Railroad
Commission was organized to protect our
own people and to facilitate the correc-
tisn of abuses through the Interstate
Commerce Commission The action of
the leading manufacturers and business
men IN the State shows that there are
abusas 10 correct.
II beg leave to call your attention to
the following communication that appear
cd in the News and Observer of May
25th. 1t was written by a wealthy
manufacturers from New York, Mr.
Caesar Gone. who recently invested half
a million dollars in n manufacturing
plant near Greensboro. Mr.. Cone, presi-
dent of the Proximity Company, wrote
as follows:

''sTo the Editor: The continued de-
preston in business, and more particular
ly in the cotton and tobacco manufacture
ing industries has forced the margin
down to point that leaves no profit for
the very best equipped manufacturer,
and an actual loss to many less favor
ably situated.
"sThis state of affairs causes us to
scrutinize with extra care every item per-
tanning to the cost of producing and
marketing goods.
Several representative manufacture
ers have recently given close investiga-
ton to one of these principal items in
which all manufacturers and shippers
are interested, namely, the cost of
freight.
eve we find the inward freight on
coal and raw material, and also the out
ward freight on finished products as
compared with similar items of cost in
all other sections of this country, TAX
ing into consideration distances and geo.

higher in North Carolina than in any

WISE MEN KNOW

1t is folly to build upon a poor founda-
ton. either in architecture or in health.
A foundation of sand is insecure, and
to deaden symptoms by narcotics or
nerve compounds is equally dangerous
and deceptive. The true way to build
up health is to make your blood pure,
rich and nourishing by taking Hood S
Sarsaparilla.

The confidence of the people in Hoods
Sarsaparilla is due to its unequalled re-
cord of wonderful cures.
