going through the testimony which has
accumulate as the result of the three
months investigation and in the prep
aration of the report of its findings.
The report will be comparatively brief.

and will require several days time.
There is a unanimous determination

to dispose Of the subject with the
greatest possible dispatch, and the
statement was made today that it was
possible that a finding might be re-
ported before the close of the week.

North Carolina pine Is attracting dI-
tention among papers north OF us. Inc
London Timber Trades Journal pub
fishes a letter from Mr.. Hugh Wiley,
q well known industrial writer OF Bal
timore, on the pines of u state, and
other states. He says thousands of
people find employment in these states
and the acpital invested is placed at
$40, O00, 900. He says the total output
lumber mills in North Carolina in pine
alone, aggregates 500, 900, 900 feet a
wear. and hat the lumber is o good
it is widening rapidly in reputation.
The Baltimore Herald condenses his re-
marks, by saying that our pine was at
first regarded as unsuited for struc-
tural work by reason of its resinous
qualities, it soon found an entrance
into the avenue of utility when the in
PRODUCTION of artificial methods of dry
ing had disposed of the chief objection.
The ~cheapness of North Carolina pine
quickly made it a formidable competi-
tor of other woods, and for some pur-
poses, such as box-maxing, it practi-
cally monopolized the market.
North Carolina or short leaf pine is
now shipped in large quantities to
eastern points as far as Maine, being
a strong rival of Canadian white pine
throughout New England. Consign-
ments are also sent S far west as In
diana, and during the past year a num-
Der of carloads have evn gone into
northern Michigan. With the last half
decade a lucrative export business has
been built up"
We will now turn to the Twelfth
Annual Report of Bureau of Labor
Statistics of North Carolina" the full
est, completest, most valuable compu-
tation that has been made. 1t is the
efficient work of James Y. Hamrick,
Commissioner and Inspector" and is
very creditable in all particulars. 1t is
IAN octave of 452 pages, and is most
c%opiously illustrated. We turn to chap
ter vii, devoted to 1.-THE Lumber Indus
try of Eastern North Carolina" Mr..
Hamrick says that "the value and use

all sides, and it now stands pre-em-
anent among the products of the forests

much the advantage. There is one
North Carolina mill that cuts 200 900
feet of lumber each day. Mr.. Ham
brick says that allowing $4,000 feet to
the house, this mill alone cuts lumber
enough for eight of these, or twenty of
10, 900 feet. The lumber mills of our
state, and those of other states are fast
s1aughtering the forests and denuding
the lands of the absolutely necessary
woods. In 1873, 1923 mills in eastern
Carolina produced 49, $50, 900 feet.
Shingles added the total product was
S ,55S, $50. There was an increased de-
-mand last year for lumber.
In 1897, the total output of but q
mills was 1921 75, 900 feet. Wilmington
had in 1898 six lumber mills. Of these
the Cape Fear Lumber Co., had the
largest daily output-55, 900 feet. Fore
and Foster had the smallest, 10000
feet. The annual output of 40 mills
reporting was 243, ST., S43 feet. The re-
port also has a table of 1877 leading
lumber mills in eastern Carolina. 1t
contains 9 mills for Wilmington alone.

0as0 at HIS DSse.

1t was \ common practice . century
ago to conceal the real value of pres
emit. A good story in illustration Of
this is told of Sir John Maynard, a
shining legal light of those days.
Two farmers had grievance about
which they were compelled TO 20 TO
law. One Of them prepared baAket
full Of beautiful pippins and presented
them 10 the grea, lawyer They were
grariously received and Sir John, tax
ing one Of the apples, split ii in two.
and found therein golden sovereign.
They were golden pippins. indeed!
The retainer was all tina, could be
desired, and the lawyer engaged to de-
fend his client. Shortly after this there
came also to Sir John the other farm
err with fine sucking pig. When this
was turned over n was found to be
stuffed with 80 sovereirns. The Gift.
however had to he refused. as the law
yer was already retained.
In striking contrast to this was the
action u iAe famous Spanish poet.
Sid Iben sarki. This happened not so
many years ago. The poet was living in
= VI. hhn h'siFlNr To snow ms lpNreCl-
alton of the ruler of the country. he
wrote long poem eNtolling the vir-
tues of the sultan of Morocco and sent
ii to him.
The sultan. Muley Hassan, was so
pleased with the &C, tina, he presented
the poet with gift, of four loaves of
black bread. Now in Morocco. the
present of loaf of black bread from
the sultan is one of the highest honors
that can be conferred. The naughty
poet. however. would very likely have
appreciated purse in which the gold
could he heard blinking. ard he was so
chaerined that he gave the loave> away
TO beggars who knocked at his door
for aims.
Judge of his modification when he
learned some days later that each loaf

sultan had ordered to he placed therein

pearance: has The same kind eyes. the

a. Gen, Grant talked only when he had
sorpeihing TO say. so Capt. Hull never
engages the attention of the house un-
less he has something of importance to
tell ii.
He expresses himself succinctly and
'ersely. Every word he utters carries
conviction. and no one that hears him
but is impressed by the reserve power
az the man. When Mr.. Hull il on the
floor he is persistent in pressing his
measures toa final passage. but eener-
GUS. so courteous. so fair withal thar he
never causes irritation. and no one has
ever had a grievance against him. His
