LUMbERMEN
TO MEET TODAY
Alabar1a-West Florida Man
ufacturers to Meet in
Montgomery.

The lumber manufacturers of Ala
bama and West Florida are to meet
today in Montgomery for their month
Iy session, and it is predicted there
will be a large attendance. Speaking
of the meeting the Montgomery Ad-
vertiser of yesterday says:
'Iumbermen of the yellow pine
market are locking forward with a
good deal of interest to the regular
monthly meeting of the Alabama
West Florida Lumber Manufacturers
Association to be held in Montgomery
tomorrow at noon. 1t is believed that
when President F. J. Hughes, Of
Birmingham, lets drop his gaveI, he
will confront the largest attendance
of the year on a monthly gathering
There is a good reason for this
interest The lumbermen are not
like the leaders in some other bust
neSseS. They DO not subscribe to the
idea that only so long as good prices
prevail and prosperity reigns there is
need for a gathering and exchange OF
views. They are of the ever watch
full class of business men who be-
lieve that the best time for talking
among themselves about the present
and the future is in the period of de-
preston.
Thus there has been a good at
tendance on the meeting of the Ala
bama-West Florida Lumber Manufac-
turerS' Association ever since the
panic set in. There has never been
charge of Illegal combination or
agreement against the members of
this association They make their
extended discussions conform to the
principles of supply and demand
They have for many months recently
talked of cUrtailing production Every
month witnesses a reduction not only
in the production of lumber, but in
the stocks of the retailers and whole
salers.
1T has been many a year since
the retailers and wholesalers stocks
were in such a broken condition as
now The trade is reduced to the
primitive condition where the con-
dealer quickly sends word to the mill
men and the latter begins cutting.
Some times there is material in the
yards to fill the order but often the
cutting o. the mills is a direct refiec-
ton of individual orders. The same
status applies to the timber market
What will particularly interest
the producers at the coming session,
however. will be the continued dis
cusSiOn of cost Considerable adj
vance had been made at the last
meeting in Mobile towards working
out this complex problem, but it has
never been satisfactorily settled.
The uniform cost sheet is to be aimed
at and this will be maze up of the
average results of mills forming the
organization
1T is predicted that a more pro-
nounced note of optimism will rule
in the meeting tomorrow There has

cyanides, II was pointed out that dur

been more than 800 deaths by the
narcotic poisons, such as opium, NOR
phine. and other easy-desth routes. 20
scarce more than half a hundred by
the cyanides- To give their dues TO
the two deadly cyanides, twenty-eight
had died from cyanide of potassium
and twenty-sevea from the hydro cy-
anic or hydracyauic acid substances.
IN cases OF suicide, suEgestiveness
plays a stellar role and II is pre-
sumed that or account OF this the

Cyanide Not Alluring.

for their neglect by the suicide, and
the fact that they are not as COM

As in the case OF the COTnwells doc
