LUMBER BUSINESS IMPROVES SLOWLY Mills Are Getting Orders At
 Living Profit SHIPMENTS FOR EXPORT While There Is But Little Profit In This Business Mill Men Are Glad
 To Get lt-Watching
 the Legislature.

Hattiesburg, Miss, February u.-(Spe cial.)-The saw mills in this part of the country are getting some business now at prices that allow some profit, and the resumption of activity may be said to have arrived, as much as it is likely to be felt The mill men have about arrived at the conclusion that there will not be return of the activity of the past year or so; at least the return will be so slow and so gradual as to be imperceptible to the naked eye. Prices on many of the higher grades of lumber are as good now as they were two years ago, in the esti- nation of the wholesalers on this market, and those prices allow a living profit on the business of the saw mill men. The weakness of the situation consists in the fact that there is little or no market for low grade cuts and so the operations of the mills are conducted at loss on that item. There Is no sale for the by-pro- ducts.
 Shipments for export continue at live ly rate, and while the mill men who are cutting for that account complain that there is no profit in the business, they are glad to get the orders, especially as some improvement in the quotations is noted.

The present collapse in the lumber in dustry will have the effect to change up the personnel of the dealers on this mar ket to considerable extent Several of the dealers have gone out of the busi- ness temporarily or permanently, and others have moved away, going up north to wait for better times. But there is some reasdn to believe that the business will not be carried on again as in times past. The furry has made it difficult for the dealers with cmall capital to hold their footing, and there is some pressure brought to bear to discourage the deal ings of the smaller traders. The general effect is to concentrate the business more with the stronger agencies. This move ment has been supported more or less by the action of the banks in declining to carry the lumber accounts, and it is not impossible that the former conditions will be resumed if the banks shall return to their old system of doing business of this character. It all depends upon the banks and while there is now no scarcity Of currency on this trliet for ordinary purposes of commerce, there has been no plethora of coin that would enable the banks to make known their purpose with respect to their general policy in the 1u- ture.

 The lumbermen of the state and oth-
 CTS interested in the industrial deyel- 1 opment of the state are much interested 1 Just now in the possible railroad leg I islation that may be undertaken by the | legislature now in session. Especially
 IS this the case in the Hattiesburg ter ritory where much railroad construc- ton is in sight held back partly by prevailing financial conditions and partly by uncertainty as to what the policy of the state will be toward such enterprises in the future. In this sec tfon there are in sight the extension
 of the Mississippi Central railroad from Hattiesburg to the gulf coast, which work was fully prepared to be com menced this summer; the construction of the Atlanta Birmingham and At
 lantic from Birmingham to Baton Rouge La, by way of Hattiesburg, for which full surveys were made last
 summer; the construction of the Ed
 ward Hines Lumber company road from Poplarville to Gulfport, for which con- tracts were about to be let when this furry came on: and the extension of the Baton Rouge, Hammond and East ern road from Baton Rouge to a con-
 nection with the Mobile, Jackson and
 Kansas City road, probably at Eatties- l burg.
 
 l These enterprises are all held up,
 awaiting the disclosure of the future | policy of the state. The Hattiesburg
 Commercial club has memorialized the | legislature to deal gently with the cor | porations and similar representations l have gone up from business bodies in other parts of the state. But in the face of this, Governor Noel has just l sent a message to the legislature recommending the application of the 2-cent rate for passenger traffic limit. However, the legislature has shown | that it will not be precipitated into l thoughtless action on the subject and has issued an invitation to the railroad presidents interested In Mississippi to attend at Jackson and appear before the legislature committees having | charge of railroad legislation. to dis l cuss the situation with them. There is some reason to believe that this in- vitation will be accepted, and doubt less it would have the effect of curbing some of the rampant clamorers after | corporation scalps.
 The mill men of Ellisville, just north 1 of here have not been successful in | their efforts to procure greater con- venience for the handling of their bus | mess by compelling the New Orleans l and Northeastern and Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City roads to make physi- cal connection at that point The sub l ject was brought to the attention of the I state railroad commission by the saw | mill people and members of the com mission visited the place to view the 1 situation. Upon their return to the i state capitol their report was not 1 strongly in favor of the desired or- 1 der.

LINCOLN AND THE UNION.

Ttm Preaervata0n, ~Wfth OF WithOut
 Slnvery,o He Deemed Param0unt.
 To the Editor of The 4New York Times.
 In an address delivered by Andrew Carnegie on October IS. 19o7 at Edin- burgh, Scotland, referring to Lincoln's attitude toward slavery. he said among other things:
 'sWhen he (Lancoln) met the Vice. President and other Confederate offi- clals at City Point he took a sheet of paper and said:@ 'Gsentlemen, Jet me write here at the top Emancipation, and you may i'll the rest of the sheet
 This reference Is to what occurred at the Hampton Roads Conference of Feb ruary, 1865. The Confederate Commits sioners appointed by Jefferson Davis Stephens of Georgia, Senator R. M. T. Hunter of Virginia and Judge John A. Campbell of Alabama. They met Pres ident Lincoln and William H. Seward, then Secetary of State of the United States, for the purpose of seeing if any measures could be adopted that would lead to peace between the North and South. then in fiagrante belio. The most authentic account of what was said and done by these conferees is given historically by Mir. Stephens himself In his History of the United States" published in 1882. He observes that most of the reports about the Hampton Roads Conference are utterly unworthy of notice" and proceeds to state in detail exactly what did occur. The whole narrative shows that the one idea which above all others doni- mated Mir. Lincoln was the prsserva- ton of the Union. and not the eman- cipation of the negro. which was only l secondary importance.
 To question put by Stephens relat- | ing Co a suspension of hostilities MT. Lincoln replied with considerable earn estness that he could entertain no proposition For ceasing active military operations which was not based upon a l pledge first given for the ultimate res | Eoration of the Union."
 And again, says MT. Stephens: "He 1 repeated that he could not entertain Q proposition for an armistice on any 1 terms while the great and vital ques. | ton of reunion was undisposed of. That
 was the first question to be settled Ht 1 could enter into no treaty with the Confederate States but upon the basis first settled that the Union
 was to be restored"
 Referring to his emancipation proe- lamation of January 1, 1883. and the
 extent of it's operation, he said: "Tha

He said further: "7is own opinion was that. as the proclamation was war measure and would have effect only from its being an excercise of the war power, as soon as the war ceased 1t would be in- operative for the future. It would be lleld to apply only to such slaves as had Come under it's operation while it was in active exercise." While an- nouncing hs purpose mot to change or modify his proclamation, he yet de- clared that he should leave the con- struction of this document flor the courts to decide. Hence the remark of Goldwin Smith in his History of the United States" where, speaking of Lincoln, he asserts: The preservation of the Union, with or without slavery, he proclaimed as his paramount duty"
 The testimony of history Is therefore against the erroneous statement made by Mir. Carnegie and often asserted by writers and speakers. actuated by over- zeal in the cause of negro emaTeipa- tion. Henderson M. Somervilie.
