purposes to the above named amount,
the money for which will be for

approved was to a large local in
sttution which secured $4,000 and
will use the entire amount in erect
ing buildings and other improve
ments, on property where is now be-
ing expended something like 100000.
Another large one was for $4,000,
going to local parties, which amount

Slight Decrease in Receipts.

The decrease in the earnings of the
Southern railway during the recent imam
cial depression was not as serious as one
would suppose. The total falling off in
the freight receipts in 1908 from 1907 was
only $o196165. which is comparatively
small for a system of $50 miles of road.
and that is indisputable testimony 10 the
substantial condition of the industries OF
the south by which this traffic Is fur
nshed. Few railroads in the country can
show a more favorable record.
The following statement will show the
comparative gross earnings from freight.

Southern railway for the last three years:

Passenger Rates Lowered.

II 1909 there we're II ,6tiii 800 passengers
carried on the Southern railway. The
number carried in 1907 was 12,Si2,9l4. and
in 1908 it was 14,61S,24l, an increase OF
14.29 per cent.
The average distance each passenger
travelled in 1905 was only 40 miles,
while the average in 1901 was $3.50 miles,
and in 1896 All miles.
The average income per passenger per
mile in 1906 was 241 cents, in 1901 1t was
= - cents and in zoos it was 10 cents.
which is due to the reduction of fares by
the legislatures of nearly all or tine south
ern states. II the fares had remained
where they were the year before the av-
erape would have been equal to that of
10ot; or 1907. and, with the increase of
nearly 1000, OOo inf the number of passen-
GERS hauled, the effect upon the earnings
would have been considerable.
The railways of the south are not pat
ronized like those in the northern states.
but the public is just as insistent and the
lawmakers are just as arbitrary In their
requirements. The railway commission
ers in each state have practically arbi-
trary power, and they compel the trans
portation companies to run SO many trains
a day, regardless of the amount of bust
ness For example. in 1906 the average
number of passengers per train on the
age per car was I--y The average for
1907 was 35.14 passengers per train and
1858 per car: while in 1908 the average
per train was 3S45 and the average per
car was 12.77 passengers. which seems
hardly enough to support the cheapest
kind of a railway service.
Increased Cost of Maintenance.
1t costs just as much to handle train
and to haul a passenger in the south as
in any other part of the country and
very much more than it did few years
ago. The increase in the expense of
maintaining and operating a railroad in
the south has been very rapid during
the last two years. Negroes are no long

necessary to import Italian and other for
eign workmen from New York and other

growers. The delegation asked for an in
crease il the duty on peanuts to two
cents pound. The republican MEM
bers of the ways and means committee
took action to banter the Southcrners
for requesting protection TO the extent
of an increase of 800 per cent in the duty.
Champ Clark. the minority leader of
the House. was not pleased with the
requests of the peanut growers and did
not take kindly TO the opportunity offered
for republican criticism of the requests
for protection made by democrats.

Mica. which IS mined in Alabama,

and Virginia. was one of the articles on
was claimed that the principal compet-
ton would be from India. where labor
cost is from six cents TO fifteen cents per
day. a new classification WAS also asked
for this article. Higher duties on crude
barytes. which is mined extensively i'll the
south. were sought for.
CIay-producing companies in the south
earnestly advocated that the tariff on
clays be Increased 81 a ton. Their claim
was that the cheap freight rates from
England, and In many cases the carrying
OF these clays as ballast. bring them in
competition with the wash clays of Corn
wall. England.
Representatives OF the rice industry de-
clared that the destruction of this indus
try would result if lower duty than that
provided in the Dingley bill were placed
on rice Locke BreauX, president of the
Rice Association of America, declared that
to put the rice industry on basis where
IL would have 10 compete with the cheap
labor of Asiatic countries would be to in
vi,e and bring about annihilation for the
industry. In 1907 the expectations OF rice
amounted to 2.443. 900 pounds, while the
importation equaled nearly 3UO.OOO 0OO
pounds. most of which came from Japan
and China.
The growers of Sea Island cotton in
Florida and several other southern states
urged the necessity for duty on their
article. claiming that the destruction of
fruit growers of Florida also asked for
protection. They joined the Californians
in asking for increased duties on oranges
and lemons.

Lumber Interests Stand Pat.

Representatives of the lumber industry
in the south presented strong arguments
IN favor of the retention Of the duties
imposed by the Dingley tariff on lumber.
They claimed that the removal of the
tariff would bring them in competition
with the low grade lumber of Canada and
other countries and low wages paid in
other countries. 1t was also stated that
the stumpage cost III this country is
greater than in Canada and in other foreign
countries. Figures were submitted to
show that the south now produces prac-
tically onehalf of all the lumber produced
annually in the United States

Tobacco Men Want Higher Tariff.

On the whole the tobacco growers OF
the south expressed satisfaction with the
duty on their product. A. B. Darlington,
representing the Tobacco Association of
Danville, Va, urged that the duty on
Turkish tobacco be increased from 30
cents a pound 10 s1.S5 a pound. which
is the duty imposed by the Dingley tariff
on Sumatra leaf. The further claim was
made that the Turkish tobacco is in a
large measure supplanting the bright
tobaccos raised in Virginia, North Caro-
lima and South Carolina. and that the
Turkish government prohibits the impor-
tation of this American tobacco.
Florida growers of Sumatra wrapper
tobacco presented strong arguments to
the committee in favor OF the retention of
dollars have been expended In the United
States in equipping lands with shade
structures and developing the wrapper
tobacco industry to its high state OF
efficiency, according to the growers Our
American tobacco is grown from seed
imported from Sumatra. and this tobacco
is worked and sold by the manufacturers
as imported tobacco" said one of the
tobacco raisers. The industry has not
vet reached a point where the TOBACCO
can compete in the open market on It's
actual merits.
The importations Of wrapper tobacco
in 1907 under the rate of SIS per pound
of the Dingley tariff amounted to over
6OOO,O1U pounds. producing a revenue OF
ST. OW. 900. The tobacco growers strong

admit tobacco from the Philippines free
