FIGHT ON CANNED MUSIC"

Washington, Jan. "a lively war
fare is now being waged in Washing
ton between the authors and COM
posers of musical productions, on the
one hand, and the manufacturers OF
canned music" on the other. Those
who WOO the muse believe that they
are entitled to a royalty from the
makers of phonograph records and
gr0ophone discs who use their mus
ica1 0roducts for mechanical repro
duction. To accomplish the protec-
tion of the bards from the rapacity
of the soulless corporations, Senator
Kittredge has introduced a bill allow
ing composers the control of the me-
chanical rights of the offspring of
their brains. The bill has met with
the bitter opposition of the mechan-
ical music manufacturers, who de-
clare that it will probably result in
one firm cornering the canned
music" market and thus fostering a
wicked monopoly.
The manufacturers assert that il
they are compelled to pay royalties to
authors and composers. it will cost
the public a million dollars year
more for its mechanical music. The
composers reply that the talking ma
chine manufacturers make profit of
&C 2-3 per cent. on their products
and that they can well afford to pay
the poor authors a small royalty
without raising the price of records
to the public. The battle is being
waged merrily and the unfortunate
Solons have been forced to give much
earnest thought to the subject. Pres
ent appearances are that the compos-
ers will win out and that the dissem-
inators of mechanical music will have
to say by your leave" to the author

ical production to the public.

The Canning Industry.
How Some Things That are
Allowed to go to Waste
Might be Utilized.

| Lumberton Robesonian.
That some men grow rich on what
| Others waste is one of those saying
that one is apt to use lightly, just as
one says "all men must die" with
out applyingit to ones self. But all
the opportunities for making money
out of what others waste have not
been used by any means; they lie all
about. The other day at dinner at
Waverly hotel gentleman remarked
that in the small town of Elkin dis
tributing agency paid out last year
for canned goods of all kinds-toma-
toes, berries, etc, that had formerly
been allowed to go to waste-over
$4,000, and a gentleman sitting
near remarked that enough tomatoes
go to waste in Robson county every
year to feed North Carolina.
Which is probably not much ex-
aggeration, if any. And these toma-
toes and other things that are al
lowed to go to waste or that are not
to best advantage, might be con-
verified into money as easy as falling
off a log, and with very little outlay.
To demonstrate how this may be
done, Messrs. White & Cough have
purchased a canning outfit which will
turn out twelve cans OF tomatoes,
cherries, berries, potatoes-anything
of the kind-every seven minutes.
Such an outfit costs only $1,000 and
is within the reach of every farmer.
And it would seem to be the sort OF
outfit that no farmer could afford
to be without. 1t can be operated
with little difficulty and there is al
ways a ready market. for canned
goods of all kinds. Instead OF buy
ing canned goods from other places
it would be as easy to make them
right here at home.
This is not an advertisement for
the canning outfit; it is simply to
call attention to a method OF usings
things that are allowed to go to
waste in large quantities. In some
other places thousands of dollars
are paid out to the farmers fOrgOOds
that they can in this way, for stuff
that they would probably not use at
all otherwise, and the same thing OF
course could be done in this county.
