new under. the sum and question the
legality of the proceeding. They say
If the point of constitutionality should
be raised it would not stand the test OF
the courts. Article IL, section q OF
Constitution of North Carolina contains
the following provisions: "Bills and
resolutions of legislative nature shall
be read three times in each house
before they pass into laws; and shall be
signed by the presiding oficer of both
houses" The suggestion Is made that a
fraud might be perpetrated upon the
Legislature In the use of q stencil. by
another than the presiding officer Of
either house. The suggestion is made
that the attention of President Winston,
of the Senate, and Speaker Justice, of
the House, to the new method employed
and OF the probable outcome should any
question be raised regarding the proper
ratification OF any Of laws, and that aft
er so doing they signed properly the
more important measures, However,
the contention above recited, according
to Chief Justice Walter Clark Ia not
well taken. He calls attention to the
fact that President Roosevelt uses n
stencil in the ratification of national
laws almost exclusively. So that IL the
above question should be brought be-
fore the Supreme Court Of the state the
legality Of the method employed by the
presiding officers of the last General
Assembly would be upheld.
Attorney General Gflmer and Mrs.
Gilmer expect to take their departure
from Raleigh Don for the summer.
The. contemplate a trip abroad and
may be away for several months. The
assistant to the Attorney General, Mr..
Hayden Clement, entered upon his dut-
les On Monday Of last week and In ap-
parently well qualified for the place.
He has argued a number of cases before
the Supreme Court and handled them
like an ''old hand ct the bellows The
spring term will expire before long and
the more important work will then be
over until the fall term begins, SO Mr..
Clement a conduct the affairs of the
office with little difficulty, giving Gen.

According to Consul-General Richard
Guenther, of Frankfort, German papers
state that In Germany wind motors
as power generators for use In agrt-s
cultural and Industrial pursuits are
rarely met with. but that in Denmark
their use has Increased very greatly.
The Consul General continues:
Since 1897 the Danish Government
has contributed about $4,000 for equip-
ments. and has even lately erected an
experimental station at Askoc. a tech-
meal writer describes these expert
ments, which were made on the initial
tive OF the Danish Government, and
also some of the electric works IN Dem
mark which generate electricity py
means of wind motors. According to
his statements motors with four wings
have given the best results, as SMALL
err number of wings does not fully
utilize the wind power while larger
number acts detrimentally upon the
wind current between the wings.
If a medium large wind motor Is

FLOUR IN SOUTH AFRICA.

j d i
How the Trade In the American Product
Should be Conducted.
In replying to inquiries made by an
Ohio milling company. Consul General
Julius G. Lay. Of Cape Town. Cape Col
cny, furnishes the following Informal
ton:
It is learned upon inquiry that there
is not a strong demand for American
winter-wheat flour In this consular
district, the principal flour imported
from the United States being hard
spring wheat flour of high grade. 1t
is strongly advised by those In the
trade that any business done with
South African importers Of flour be
transacted through New York commits
sion houses, as In the past, the Inn
porters finding 1t more satisfactory to
pay a small commission to a New York
commission house which has an agent
here on the spot, with whom any COM
plants or misunderstanding can be
taken up, should they arise, than to
deal direct with American millers. I,
is stated positively by ono firm in the
trade that 1t would be impossible to
get Cape Town Importers Of flour to
give orders to be executed direct from
the mlllers. This method of selling
through the commission houses ellmi-
mates any risk on the part of the miller
who can get cash in New York upon
delivery of shipments.
The latest freight rates which are
prOcurable here on flour from New
York to Cape Town are $4,S6 per ton
TO other South African ports Algoa
Bay, $5,47; East London, s6o7; Natal
$e.67.
Flour for this market must be nut
UP in cotton bags holding 9s pounds
each, which must be sewed up in a
sack OF canvas or jute. The duty Inn
posed by the South African Customs
Union on flour Is so cents per 100
pounds, with a rebate of 8 cents for
that Of British manufacture.
In 1907 wheaton flour and wheate,,
meal was imported from the United
States into British South Africa to the

sources Of supply being Australia
