THOSE TAX REDUCTIONS

The two solitary papers OF Chehalis
county that have saw lit to defend the
action oi the board OF equalization. have
finally got entirely away from the original
discussion and opened up the whole
matter OF min company assessments. As
will be seen by the following

ieseloped the fact that the mills OF Gravs
Harhor have been assessed higher pro

the county. The ratio which the assessed

much greater in the case OF the mills,
than with any other class OF property,
Ii is also much greater in Chehalis coun.

CENTRAL WON'T PAY.
Objects to Byron school District
Taxes.

Atlanta, Jan. 13.-An interesting
case, in which the Central of Georgia
Railway Company refuses to pay tax
of something over $SS to the Byron
School district in Houston county, has
Gene to the attention of the controller
general, and he has issued an execu-
ton against the road for the amount.
The matter will go into the courts,
as the Central claims, that the law
under which the tax is sought to be
collected establishes a dangerous pre-
cedent and is unconstitutional.
special local act was passed in
1901, creating the Byron School district
in Houston county, the school district
being considerably larger in extent
than the town of Byron. The act gave
the authorities of the school district
the right to collect taxes for school
purposes, and the road declined to
pay.
The Central takes the position that
the law is unconstitutional, in so far
as it gives the authorities the right
to collect special tax for school pur-
poses. The road has already paid
taxes to the state, to Houston county
and to the town of Byron.

NATIONAL BOARD. OF TRADE
Holds a Convention and Receives
--t Report of Growth. 49,

--rrs Report OF Growth.
Washington, Jan. 13.-The National
Board of Trade met here to-day for
its thirty third annual convention. and
was called to order by President Blan-
chard Randall of Baltimore.
Frank Barryl, who was appointed
during the last summer as commits
sioner of the board, with headquarters
at Washington, read his report. He
said that since his appointment he had
visited thirty-seven cities, located IN
twenty-one states, and had called on
the directors of more than hundred
industrial organizations. In conse-
quence of Mr.. Barry's efforts, twelve
new organizations have applied for
membership in the national board, and
many others have the question of join
ing under favorable consideration.
Hitherto the national board has been
composed largely of local sectional
bodies, but ii is now the purpose to
admit national associations and repre-
sentative bodies in all the trades and
industries.
The most important business of the
board to-day was the adoption of the
report of the Committee on New BY
laws and Revision of the Constitu-
ton. The action taken practically re-
suits in a reorganization of the ma
tional body on broader lines than the
present constitution permits.

BANKERS FAVOR THE MOVE.
All Members Want Cotton Exchange
to List Stocks.


The members of the Savannah Cot
ton Exchange continue to discuss the
talked of listing of securities
there, and the indications are
that the large number inter-
ested will result in the attention
of the directors being called to it. and
the advisability of listing stocks will
be discussed with a view to carving
out the suggestion. Voluntary express
sions to a representative of the Morn
ing News by members of the Cotton
Exchange show the unanimity of feel
ing favorable to it.
Capt. Henry Blum, president of the
Germania Bank. and among the oldest
members of the Cotton Exchange
said: II favor the listing of securi-
ties on the exchange, and believe it
could be done to the advantage of all
concerned. There is no question about
there being sufficient number inter-
ested in local securities to warrant the
adding of this service. 1t will be of
great business interest to nearly every
member of the exchange"
Mr. w. T. McCauley, cashier of the
savannah Bank and Trust Company.
and also a member of the Cotton Ex-
chane. said that he is in favor OF list
ing local stocks and quoting them on
the exchange boards.
Inc desire among members of the
exchange appears to be about unani-
nous IN favor of the talked of service.

REMARKABLE SUCCESS


A large and constantly increasing
majority of the American people are ca
tarrh sufferers. This is not entirely
the result of our changeable climate.
but because modern investigation has
clearly proven that many diseases,
known by other names, are really ca
tarrh. Formerly the name catarrh
was applied almost exclusively to the
common nasal catarrh, but the throat
stomach, liver. bladder, kidneys and in
testines are subject to catarrhal dis
eases as we'll as the nasal passages.
In fact wherever there is mucous
membrane there is a feeding ground for
catarrh.
The usual remedies. inhalers, sprays.
douChes or powders, have been practi-
ca1ly failures. as far as anything more
than temporary relief was concerned,
because tehy simply dry up the mucus
secretions. without having the remotest
effect upon the blood and liver. which
are the real sources of catarrhal dis
eases.
It has been known for some years
that the radical cure of catarrh could
never come from local applications, but
from an internal remedy. acting on the
blood and expelling the catarrhal poi
son from the system.
A new internal preparation which has
has met with remarkable success as a
genuine, radical cure for catarrh.
1t may be found in any drug store,
sold under the name of Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets. large pleasant tasting
loZenges, composed principally of anti
septic ingredients, blood root, red gum
and similar catarrh specifics.
DR.. Ainslee in speaking of the new
catarrh cure says: Il have tried the
new catarrh remedy, Stuarts Catarrh
Tablets, upon thirty or forty patients
with remarkably satisfactory results.
They clear the head and throat more
cffectually and lastingly than any
douche or inhaler that l have ever seen,
and although they are what is called
patent medicine and sold by drug
gists, ] do not hesitate to recommend
them as / know them to be free from
cocaine and oDiates, and that even a
little child may use them with entire
safety"
Any sufferer from nasal catarrh,
throat or bronchial trouble, catarrh of
the stomach liver, or bladder will find
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets remarkably
effective, pleasant and convenient, and

MORE STRIKE EVIDENCE
Presented to the Commission by
Operators.

ODerRNOrss
Philadelphia, Jan. I3.-Having occu-
pied nearly three days in calling wit
nesses to testify in opposition to the
demands made by the anthracite min
ers, the Delaware and Hudson Com
pany closed its case before the Coal
Strike Commission this afternoon, and
the commissions attention was then
called to the conditions existing in and
about the collieries operated by the
Erie company. This corporation man
ages the Hillside Coal and Iron Conn
pany and the Pennsylvania Coal Com
pany. and its counsel before the COM
mission is Wayne MacVeagh of Phil
adelphia and Maj. Everett Warren Of
Scranton.
One of the principal witnesses call
ed before the commission to-day was
Thomas F. Torrey, general coal sales
agent of the Delaware and Hudson
Company at New York who testified
that the company he represents is de-
irving no benefit from the present
abnormal price which the public is
paying for its fuel Among other wit
nesses called by the Delaware and
Hudson were two physicians, who
gave testimony tending to show that
the occupation of mine worker is not
so unhealthful as physicians for the
miners have stated; a real estate agent
who testified to the amount of prop
erty owned by miners of the company
and an enploye of the Delaware and
Hudson, who made an investigation of
wages paid to bituminous miners,
which showed their pay was under
that received by anthracite miners.
Gen. Wilson, owing to the Illness Of
Judge Gray, again acted as chairman
of the commission and was several
times called upon to intervene in the
personal tits between opposing coun-
sci over the admission of certain evil
dence.
Maj. Everett Warren, for the Erie
company, in his statement, says the
miners have it in their power to earn
large wages, that the demand for an
eight-hour day is most unreasonable,
and that a 2,240-pound ton is imprac-
ticable. He says the Erie company
has no objection to labor organizing,
but said the local unions destroys in
dividual effort, curb ambition, restrict
earning capacity, encourage idleness
and discomfort, breed lack of respect
of authority and destroy discipline
W.. A. May of Scranton, the general
superintendent of the two companies,
was the first witness for the Erie. Be-
fore the strike of 1900. he said, the re-
lations between him and the men were
very pleasant inded. He was still on

TAFT WILL REMAIN.
settled Tint He VIII he Governor
of the Philippines.


Washington, Jan. 13.-After mature
consideration, it has been decided by
the President that Judge Taft shall re-
main in the Philippines as Civil Gov
ernor. The decision was reached only
after the President had discussed the
Philippines question thoroughly with
Secretary Root and the other members
of his cabinet, and with Vice Governor
Luke Z. Wright, who has been in this
country for two months.
For several weeks 1t has been regard
ed as settled that Gov. Taft would re-
turn to this country, perhaps in a few
months, to become a justice Of the
United States Supreme Court. Presi-
dent Roosevelt indicated to Gov. Taft
In letter dispatched to the Philippines
more than month ago. that he could
have the appointment 10 the Supreme
Court bench if he desired it. 1t was
the Presidents purpose to name Gen.
Wright as Civil Governor of the Philip
pines.
To-day in response to the Presidents
letter. cablegram was received from
Gov. Taft. suggesting, with a sincere
appreciation of the tender made to
him by the President, that it might
be better for him, in view of all the
circumstances, to remain where he
was.
After this it was announced unoffi-
cislly, but authoritatively that Gov.
Taft would remain Indefinitely as Civil
Governor of the Philippines.
Gov. Taft is known. as one high Of
fetal expressed it, ITO be thoroughly
wrapped up in his work in the Phil
ippines." His ambition has been to
round out his career as a justice of
the United States Supreme Court; but
he has become imbued so entirely with
the spirit of the great work to be ac-
complished in the Philippines and so
perfectly in sympathy with the ideals
of the best classes of the inhabitants
that he hesitated to relinquish his post
at this time.
