PRICE OF LUMBER
STILL ADVANCING
The Price Has Gone Up 81 Per Thou
sand, but Mill Men Are Moving
Cautiously SO as Not to Get Over
stockel-confidence in Future.

There was a called, or informal SEES
sion of the Mississippi Pine Associa-
ton held in the assembly room of the
Hotel Hattiesburg yesterday after
noon. The meeting was attended by
about forty mill men and lumber buy
ers.
The meeting was called to order by
j. F. Wilder, president. who made
brief statement saying that the meet
ing was called to consult about trade
conditions and the general lumber sit
uation.
Ewing A. Walker, the secretary, was
at his desk with bundle of letters
and a package of papers.
The following are few of those
who were in attendance:
A. e. Darling. Chicago, ILL.,; P. H.
Sadler, City; A. H. Ambrecht, City; A.
G. Little, Clyde; A. G. List, Chicago;
A. F. Wastman, Jackson; l.. M No
land, Kola; A. A. Michel, City; H. s.
Hagerty, City,; j. F. Wilder, Epps; e.
A. Adey, Kansas City, Mo-; Ewing A.
Walker City; Jas. A. Kirby, Southern
Lumberman, Nashville, Tenn; George
Guild, Labor and Trade Journal, New
Orleans.
Besides these there were quite a
number who did register their names
with the clerk of the Association.
Secretary Ewing A. Walker first
read number of letters from mem
bers expressing their regret that they
could not attend the meeting.
]. H. Eddy, secretary of the Ala
bama and West Florida Association
and who is connected with one of the
largest mills in that section, wrote
that there was an increase in value;
yard stocks had been decreasing and
there were broken stocks. He looked
for an. increase at once of from S1.5O
to so in value. He did not expect
many mills to begin work at once.
A sales agent from Chicago wrote
that he wanted to see the railroads
move the corn crop, after which he
thought they would need new cars and
that the lumber business would be-
come satisfactory.
Lumbermen from New York and
Florida wrote that they expected a
large revival in the lumber trade and
they considered the outlook good.
The tenor of the sawmill men who
spoke was somewhat on the lines
adopted by the cotton growers few
years ago when it appeared that more
cotton was being made than was CON
sumed and they met in convention
and resolved to reduce the acreage.
The mill men, or at least some of them
thought. it would not be good for the
trade for too many mills to open up
at once-that the demand should come
irst and the lumber next. In other
words they did not want to get over
stocked. 1t was generally agreed. how
ever, that the price of lumber. espec-
tally on heavy timbers. was increasing
and 1t had also increased on other
kinds of lumber.
Among others who made a good
talk was Mr.. O'Donnell. He said his
mill had been running for some few
months. The market had improved on
some items. He said that q few wears
ago when lumber was down that a
Cincinnati lumberman had assured
him that lumber was going up The
man was experienced in the lumber
trade and he sold him bill. The
same man had come back and sal
the same thing recently. The move.

An Electric Street Railway Seems

The Board of City Aldermen, at the
call OF Mayor Ormond, met last night
in special session to receive tor their
consideration a proposition to construct
an electric street railway in our city.
The proposition was submitted by Mr..
4. T. Oliver, of Raleigh, who for himself
and his associates asked the usual fran
chise of the Board, and stipulating to
begin construction work within three
months from the granting of said fran
chise and push operations with due dill
igence to completion, obligating to COM
plete the system in two years.
Mr.. Oliver addressed the Board in
clear language and unreserved manner,
| answering ceurteously and frankly all
questions asked him, and the ARGUS
feels safe in saying that his proposition
not only met with favor from the NOM
| bers of the Board, but also from the
| goodly number of representative citi-
zens in attendance, who had been in
vited, at the solicitation of Mr.. oliver,
/ he desiring that his purposes be fully
| known to the citizens and considered
by them i'll common with the Board OF
Aldermen. To this end, under motion
of Alderman Lionel We'll, a committee
of five, consisting of three Aldermen
and two citizens, was appointed by the
Mayor, viz, Aldermen f. X. Borden,
We'll and Gibson and Messrs. George
G. Royal and j. E. Peterson, to take
the proposition of Mr.. Oliver under ad-
yisement and perfect it as to detail and
report to the Board their findings
AS soon as this committee shall have
perfected its work, the ARGUS will pub
lish the proposition as SO agreed upon,
so that our citizens may know the full
details in advance OF the meeting of the
Board of Aldermen to pass upon the
measure finally.
AS to the ARGUS, we fully endorse
the proposition as indicated will be
submitted through the special COM
mittee in their preliminary conference
last night, and we herald the oppor-
tunity as the approach of a new era
OF development and prosperity for the
city such as has never before come our
way.
With the new and commodious I'm
ion Passenger Station on one rim of
the city and the spacious and impos-
ing forthcoming High School on our
eastern heights, with q street car SER
vice between and around about the
city, truly-verily-we shall go for
ward.

HOW TO BUILD A TOWN,

Just as pointer in passing-and
along the line the ARGUS has been ad-
vocating, we copy the following from
the Raleigh News and Observer:
1.-The tact that Charlotte won the
Democratic State convention here this
week, calls attention to the good things
in that progressive city. Chief among
them has been its successful building
and loan associations. The monthly
receipts Of the three associations ex-
ceed fifty thousand dollars. one of the
companies last week opened its fifty
first series with over 1t, 900 shares sold .
One association has paid outin twenty
five years to stockholders $500, 600
and made net profits Of over 5000, ,O00.
It's last years business was over 81, IOO,-
600. Justice Walker, Of The Supreme
Court, recently said that he attributed
much Of Charlotte's development to the
impetus given to saving and home
buiIdirg that has come out Of the build
ing and loan movement.

SIMMONS ON ocean MAILS.
North CaFOIiD Senator Speaks In
Support Of His Mail Sub
Sidy BIII---Declares Our
Foreign Competitors
Are CFOWding
Us Out.
(By Special Wire to the ARGUS }

Washington, March Ex-senator
Simmons, of North Carolina. yes terday
spoke in support of his amendment to
the ocean mail ship subsidy bill author
izing the payment OF the same rates
to vessels OF the second class that are
allowed to those of the first class for
carrying the mails. The only differ
ence between vessels of the first class
and those OF the second class, he said ;
was the Offence between 20 and 16
knots in speed and a difference in pa
city of between 5000 and 5000 tons.
To-day in the whole world" de-
c1ared Mr.. Simmons, ''there are but
II steamships Of the first class as de-
fined by the act of 1891 and every one
of them is owned by the Canadian
Pacific Railroad"
Mr.. Simmons said that in 1908
amounted tn $47, 900, 900, while last
year it was only So, 900, 900.
'What does that mean2" he asked
''It means that when we began to be
troublesome our foreign competitors
regulated their rates so as to cro, d US
out.
Mr.. Simmons suggested that the
amount of compensation for mail tran
sportatiOn in the foreign service in any
one year should be limited to the
estimated revenues of the govern
ment for that particular service, and
Mr.. Gallinger in charge OF the shipping
bill said he would be willing to accept
the amendment.

NEWS FORECAST OF
THE COMING WEEK.
Special to THE ARGUS.

hand and more thorough organization
of the opposition on the other. The
conventions, State and district, to be
held next week, will for the most part
be in Secretary Tatt's favor. The State

ceded to Taft. An expression in his
favor is likewise expected from the
New Mexican territorial convention to
be held newt Saturday.

duled for the week. Chief among these
will be the power boat carnival al
Palm Beach and the automobile races
at Savannah. The annual intercol-
| legiate cable chess match between OK.
ford and Cambridge on one side and
Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Colum

Committee Held That it Had no Power

Bryan for President, and

Raleigh News Il Observer.


By vote of 40 to 20 the State Demo-
cratic Executive Committee last night
selected Charlotte as the place for hold
ing the next Democratic State Conven-
ton, and the time fixed was Wednes-
day, June gath. Charlotte and Green's
boro presented invitations for the con-
vention, and both cities were ably and
eloquently represented.
Eighty-One mem bers were present in
person, or were represented by proxy,
only seven being absent. Thirty-two
were represented by proxy.
Chairman Hugh Chatham, of Elkin,
called the committee to order at 8
O'Clock and q reading Of the roll showed
79 members present or represented by
proxy. The chairman, addressing the
committee, stated that the splendid at
tendance spoke we'll for the militant
democracy OF the State, whose ranks
have not been broken. There has been
something doing in North Carolina, he
said, to distract the minds OF the peo-
pie from the panic, but as great issues
have arisen the State has dealt with
them wisely and well. The Democrats
Of North Carolina are a thinking peo-
pie, he said, who have ideas OF their
own, and it is very fortunate that they
are not OF one mind, but believe in con-
ferring with one another. At the next
election it will be seen, he declared,
that no harm has been done the party,
while great good has been done to the
State.
Mr.. \. NJ. Scales, of Greens boro,

proceeding with other matters, he be-
ieyed the committee should pause
long enough to commend one of the
most remarkable men this country has
ever produced; not because he needs
commendation at the hands of this
committee, SAID Mr.. Scales, but al
this time it givesA me pleasure and
does me honor to lift my voice in
praise of one who has ever stood fol

There was great applause when Mr.
Bryan's name was mentioned, and this
swelled into prolonged cheers and
clapping OF hands when the great com
moner's name was Joined to that Of ex
Governor Aycock.
Mr.. Scales introduced resolution
declaring for Bryan and Aycock.
The following substitute resolution
was offered by Mr.. McMichael:
''Resolved, That it is the sense O
this committee that it is not within
it's province to endorse the candidacy
of any candidate, national Or State.

over three months. One day while
walking near the outer part OF the
town where we lived we saw old
Croaker, as we called him. He took
no notice of us, but walked straight
to a place where there was trim
looking garden and a neat-looking
house. Upon inquiry We found that 1t
was inhabited by two elderly spinster
sisters. The dog had gone to them
and could not be induced to leave. He
was determined to avoid a similar
