Meeting Called in Norfolk to

NORFOLK, VA, August 4.-Sen-
sational developments and an up
heavel in the lumber business of the
South Atlantic States, from eastern
Maryland to South Florida, is to be
expected as the result Of the meeting
Of lumbermen to be held in this city
next Tuesday. The meeting was called
for an unusual purpose in an unusual
way.
1t Is well known fact that the
lumber business of the South Atlantic.
amounting as it does to its billions of
feet valued at millions of dollars, has
been in a demoralized condition for
months. Many evils have combined
to demoralize It, and it is to correct
these evils that the meeting has been
called Many mills have been cutting
lumber at below the cost of produce
ton, and many of them have been un-
able to dispose of their cutting at any
price 1t is o purpose of those who
called the meeting of the South Car
olina Lumbermen to secure an agree
ment whereby all mills in the terri
tory named may suspend operations
for thirty or more days until the mar
ket conditions improve.
Many Mills nre Closed.
The mills of Maryland, Virginia,
and the Carol!nas are controlled by
tho North Carolina Pine Association,
and those of Georgia and Florida by
an association OF the manufacturers
of those States. Many of the Geor-
gia and Florida mills have already
suspended operations. The PROPOSE
tlon to shut down the mills In the
northern half of the territory will be
opposed by the Roper, Camp, Fosburg
and Cohn interests in Virginia and
North Carolina.
These interests arc powerful in the
associa ton. and Fosburg Is president
or it, but the other interests are rep
resented by a majority of the assoc
ciation's membership. One of the
! Ropers Is treasurer of the associa.

many fear that, under changed condi-
tions, the old turnpike cannot be
brought to ponulnr standard and
satisfactorily kept up In response to
discussions. complaints and agitation,
Judge Anderson, at the July term of
the Circuit Court appointed three
commissioners to view the road In
October and report as to its actual
condition and upon their report hangs
an important issue. Should they say
that the pike Is not in tolerable
condition, one of two things must
likely follow, viz: either the road be
kept up by taxation and come down
to the level Of the ordinary country
road, or relief come through an In
crease of toll rates Commensurate
TO changed conditions. such as have
been pointed out, and as actually exist.
Much of this onoe-famous thorough
fare has already fallen into dlsrepute
and Highland Is or should be jealous
of the portion committed to her trust.
From Durbin, on the Greenbrier the
road has virtually been abandoned,
and the traveller who dares TO try a
| passage across Cheat Mountain-in
any vehicle whatsoever-will never
make a second attempt, though he
may sigh for. and in his mind picture
! an ideal automobile course, following

subsequent years, the aggregate toll
receipts was something like $500 per
year. It was then not only Highlands
outlet, but hundreds of Pocahontas
and Pendleton (West Virginia) wagons
used it annually In hauling freight
from Staunton and marketing the
farm products Of those districts. Since
then all OF the Pocahontas traffic and
much Of the trade Of Pendleton and
Western Highland has been diverted

Severe Storms md Wnshouts.
Other conditions tending to embar-
rass the situation may be cited as
follows:
First. the very unusual rainy sea-
sons, with frequent waterspouts or
severe storms, resul..ng in washouts
and great damage to the roadbed.
Second the increased cost of living
and labor, whereby nearly double as

Third, the clamor for better roads
