QUESTION RAISED AS TO
IMPORTING OF SEAL SKINS
New York Dealers Seek TO Bring IN
Products Of Captures in
Japan Sea.

The Treasury Department was yester-
day called upon TO decide whether seal
skin garments dyed and manufactured in
London from seals caught by British
seaIers in the Sea OF Japan can be i'm
ported into the United States. The Law
Of 1897. which was designed to wipe out
pelagc sealing. prohibited Americans
from taking seals in the open waters OF
the Pacific Ocean north of the thirty
fifth parallel OF latitude, including Bebr-
ing Sea and the Sea OF Kotsk. and from
importing any skins taken in those
waters by citizens OF other nations
Attorney Bush. for the New York i'm
poTters who wished to bring in the gar
ments. claimed that the Sea Of Japan was
not strictly part OF the Pacific Ocean
10 which the prohibition applied, and
that. therefore. the skins Of seals cap
tured in those waters could properly be
imported
Tie application was referred by Secre-
tary Shaw 10 the Solicitor Of the Treas
ury for settlement and Attorney Bush
was given preliminary hearing on the
subject by the latter official. No decision
however, has yet been reached

TEREE EXCELLENT SERMONS.
Discoursesby Reverends White, Greenwood
and Broughton Here Sunday.

Next to My Sins, / am Troubled Most
by Ghosts" so said Rev. Len. G.
Broughton, of Atlanta, in his sermon at
the Baptist Tabernacle Sunday night
You can come to my room at night
and whine and shake a sheet and / will
almost jump out of the window" he con-
tinued. When the apostles in their lit
tie boat on that storm-t tossed sea saw
Christ coming towards them walking on
the water they were afraid and Peter
said: Boys, it's a ghost That was
what frightened them. They did not fear
the storm so much, but they were afraid
to sink in the presence of ghost. Jesus
knew their thoughts, that they consider
ed him ghost and he told them not to
be afraid that he was their friend"
DR.. Broughton then drew lesson from
Peters act of walking on the water.
His faith enabled him to do this, and
what Christians need now is faith in a
miracle working God. He said that he
now found the church practically asleep.
f'Many of the churches" said he. are not
even holding their own. Zone church |
know with LOO members which has re-
ceived only three persons by baptism in
four years. Yet the day has never been
when it was so easy to lead men to
Christ as now"
Yesterday morning Rev. Lawrence
Greenwood, the evangelist, preached to
large congregation in the Tabernacle.
His talk was not confined to one theme
in particular. but was a general review
of the Christian religion and its adher-
ents compared to sin and sinner. At
night he sang a solo and duet.
Rev. John F.. White, of Atlanta
preached two excellent sermons Sunday
in the First Baptist church. In the
morning his text was what shall it
profit a man if he gain the whole world
and lose his own soul?" He handled
this we'll known subject in most orig
inal way and eloquently depicted the
worth of a human soul. Large and APP
preciative audiences heard both ser
mons.

GOV, AYCOCK ON THE
WEST

Governor Aycock reached the CITY
Sunday afternoon after his EXTENDED
trip through the western part OF Ihe
State. The Governor looks the picture
of health. and says he is feeling spleh-
didly.
Talking over his trip with News ana
Observer reporter. he said:
81 was in Catawba county ana spohe
at a great educational rally in HlckoFy
going from there to WaynesVille, where
I spent pleasant week at the home OF
Attorney General and Mrs. Gilmer, par
ticipating in the unwilling of the bronze
tablet to the memory of Col. Robert
Love at the courthouse. l Afterwards
made a speech on the same day to large
crowd at the court house.
'"Then / visited Sylvia, Webster, Dllls-
bore. Bryson City and Murphy. spoke
at the Murphy courthouse to good
audience.
From Murphy I went to Columbus
Polk County, and thence to Rutherford
going out of my way to stop one night at
Chimney Rock. / made educational ad-
dresses at Columbus. Rutherfordton and
Union Mills.
Superintendent Joyner was with me
at Columbus, where he delivered most
admirable address.
cat Bryson City I found that the
school buildings could not accommodate
all the pupils, and the courthouse is
being used as a school-house.
"The educational interest in the West
is very great, and seems to have reached
nearly all the people. Good crowds
greeted me everywhere.
1.-THE industrial activity of that sec.
ton is even ahead of the educational
awakening Everybody is at work.
New mines are being constantly opened,
while the lumber business has grown
into enormous proportions. Kaoling,
tale, mica and marble are being mined
extensively Preparation is now being
made near Webster to begin on an eX-
tensive scale the mining of nickel, which
has been found in great quantities.
"The growing of fruit in Western
North Carolina has become a large as
we'll as a profitable industry. The large
orchards around Waynesville are eX-
tremely beautiful, and 1 am told, are
paying handsomely. At Tryon, Polk
county. fruit is grown extensively, the
grapes there being the finest that have
ever seen.
1.-THE whole mountain section is filled
with visitors from all parts of the
world. / was told in Waynesville that
it was difficult to secure hoard or ever
a room. Health and pleasure-seeker
find the mountains of North Carolina as
nearly perfect as can be.
"Thera is a great future before that
part of the State. I was impressed with
the truthfulness of DR.. Winston's OBJ
servations in reference to that part oil
the State, as expressed in the interview
with him in the News and Observer a
few days ago.
Il had most enjoyable visit, and have
come home with a still higher opinion
of the future of the State
