German Tariff Policy.

Wolf Won Schierbrand in the Review
of Reviews gives this country advice on
now to avoid tariff war with Germany.
He says the irritation toward us in
Germany, which is undoubtedly real, is
based not so much on our high tariff as
on the varying construction put upon
the Dingley law and the consequent i'm
possibility of German manufacturers
knowing just where they are at. For
these complaints, he believes there is
fair measure of reason and that the
administration at WASHINGTON knows it.
BY removing some of the annoying
methods of interpreting our tariff law
and by making our appraisements of a
fairer and more steady basis he believes
the Germans could be quieted. -.
Meanwhile the, Germans have been
for some time putting themselves in a
position to carry on a tariff war with
America, should it become necessary
Two years ago Germany adopted new
tariff law, partly to facilitate the re-
newal of lapsing reciprocity treaties.
but also to put the empire on better
footing as regards this country if
tariff war could not be avoided or if {,
reciprocity treaty with this country
could not be negotiated. This:new tariff
law increases considerably duties on
foodstuffs, cereals and raw stuffs of
every kind, which constitute IS pei, cent
of German imports from America. The
enforcement of these duties would, the
Germans believe, jure American trade
with the empire $4O,OO0,OOO to $780,
. 100000 annually. 1t is true that they
could not be enforced against this coun-
try without first abrogating the treaty
of 1928, which gives America the bene-
fit of the most favored nation clause,
but that treaty could be, easily disposed
of by Germany before the new tariff:
comes into effect.
Nevertheless Mr.. Won Schierbrand
does not consider Germany in a good
position to make trade war ON, Amer
lea for the reason that her imports from
this country are mainly the necessaries
of life or of trade such as cereals, meats,
hams, canned and preserved foodstuffs,
which she cannot get elsewhere as good
or as cheap, or raw stuffs for her indus
tries, which she can hardly get any
where else. On the other hand, our
imports from Germany are, with. few
exceptions, not indispensable articles
at all. -t5
The difference between a country
which shuts out the necessaries Of life
in tariff war and one which merely
excludes some luxuries, is apparent. and
the advantage is still on the side of
this country.

Word was received here Monday
morning that Dan Kerr, a young
man of this section who, though
somewhat ''wild'', is a good-hearted
fellow and very popular, and who
had been sentenced by the Court,
last week. to thirty days ia Jail for
carving a concealed weapon, had
broken out during Sunday night by
digging a hole through the Jail wall.
His Whereabouts, at this writing,
are not known.
His many friends here much re-
greet this action on his part. as twas
hoped that the punishment which
the Court had seen fit to impose
upon him would have a good effect.

Death of w. E. BeazIey.

William e. Be@zley, proprietor Of
the saw-mill fouy miles west of
Scooba, died at his residence near
the mill at about O'Clock a.. M.
Tuesday. after an illness Of less than
a week with pneumonia. Mr.. Beaz-
ley was attending to his usual duties
about the mill Thesday morning of
last week, though troubled with a
severe colds late that evening he
had q hard chill and took his bed,
where he remained until the last
summons came.
Deceased was one of the best cfti-
zens of Kempef County, and no man
stood higher in the estimation of
those who knew him. Quiet of dis
position, attending strictly to his
own BUSINESS straightforward and
honest in his dealings with his fell
lows, of fine physique, be was an
elegant type of Southern manhood
and one of whom u people had a
just right to be proud. We have
made many friends since coming to
Kemper, but none whose kindly
greetings we shall miss more than
those of "BilT' Beazley.
AT the time of death, Mr.. Beazley
lacked a little of being forty years
old. He was married, and leaves a
wife and three little children, an
aged father and mother, three sis
ters and two brothers, besides d host
of other relatives and near friends,
to MOURN his taking off when just in
the full flower of a glorious man
hood. To them, in this hour of be-
reayenent, the heartfelt sympathy
of the editor OF The HERALD is ten
defed.
His remains were laid to rest in
the cemetery south of Scooba on
Wednesday, a large number of those
who had known and honored him
IN life paving the last, sad respects
by attending the o~bsequies.
