sive action. II the latter's contentious
are allowed the other powers must
stand aside and wait until these later
preferred demands are settled in full
before they can secure a cent on their
claims.
Here is where the hitch comes in.
Claims for preference Of the allied pow
ers have no foundation in law or equi-
ty, and the all important question now
is will the United States stand up for
her rights or will she give way to the
unjust demands OF the powers, especial
ly when it is so patent that they are
made by one Of them to test the
strength of her backbone in maintain
ing the Monroe doctrine. We hope the
matter. a be settled amicably. We
want no war with Germany or any 9TH
er country; but self-respect and due re-
| gard for our rights should guide US in
this matter and if Germany is anxious
to force the test of the Monroe doctrine
to the arbitrament of war We should
be found ready to maintain our rights.
While we do o believe there is 60
ing to be war, such an outcome of the
present conditions should surprise no
one. 1t looks as if there might be form

NEW TOBACCO WAREHOUSE.
Wilson Preparing for Next Season
Crop Should Not he Increased.
Especial to The Messenger.)

tSpCNIol ~ Lie NlISSClSCIt
Wilson, n. c.. January 31.-Wilson
is to have nothe new warehouse be-
fore the beginning of another tobacco
reason. Messrs. Calvin Woodland, a.
0. Davis, J.. II. Harrison and B. ID.
Lane are the directors in the neW
movement. Messrs. Boykin and Com
pany are putting up the money for the
building, which is to be a handsome
brick structure. The building is to
be 100X200 feet. giving a floor furnish
ing twenty thousand feet of floor
space. This will compare favorably in
size with any Of the houses in Wilson.
Ny. j. II. Harrison, who has been
manager Of the Center Brick Ware
house for the past two years, will
manage the new house. He is a ware
houseman of unusual ability and the
movement will be successful under his
management.
= There is an effort being made by
some papers in the state to have the
tobacco crop increased for another
year. These papers are doing the
farmers an injustice. The reason that
prices are as low down as they are at
present is because of an Ov~er-produc-
ton. Farmers forget that demand
must govern the price of tobacco. The
lCTIlaIlOH Oh the To-
bacco Company had something to do in
bringing down the price OF tobacco,
but The main cause is an underesti-
mate of the crop.
AT a meeting Of the Wilson Tobacco
Board OF Trade it was decided to rur
double sales until the middle of Feb
ruary. This move was made necessary
by the increase of the tobacco being
offered. There has been no change ir
prices.

NO ADVERSE LEGISLATION.

The insurance business in the state,
involving as it does the good and pro-
lection of the citizens of the state and
their property, is in remarkably good
condition, and generally satisfactory to
the people and the companies. Our
home companies are being protected
and fostered, and show commendable in
crease and growth. Foreign companies
are being treated with justice and fair
ness, While the fire rates prevailing
here, though complained of by some Of
our people, are lower and fairer than
those Of any other southern state. With
these conditions, brought about by just
laws and a strict supervision, and with
q large increase of revenue from lnsur-
ance companies each year, the commits
sioner feels that the wisdom of the
present general assembly will prompt
them to follow the course of the last
two general assemblies in improving
our already fair and just insurance
laws and in enacting no harsh or re-
strictive laws, calculated not to help
but to only hurt the state, her citizens
and the companies organized or oper-
ating here.

INVESTIGATION OF FIRES.

The cost of reporting fires and inves-
tigating those supposed TO be suspl-
cious or Of ~incendiary origin is paid
wholly by a tax of one-tenth OF one per
cent. on the gross receipts Of fire insur-
ance companies doing bushes In the
state. This law has been most beneh-
cial to the state and its citizens, n is
worthy of being pushed with even
greater earnestness and power. 1t is
recommended that this tax be increas-
ed, and that the law be so amen1eo
that the commissioner or his represen-
tative cannot only punish
in the state, but also, by frequent and
p~ainstaking inspections in the state
remove causes likely TO produce fires
These inspections will reduce the num-
Der of fires in the state, present con-
