has been noted for more than year.
Following the report of January mill
operations, which show an increase
of lumber actually cut of just about
100 per cent over the record of 1908,
and lumber shipped of about the same
increase, manufacturing consumers
became more active. Buyers for large
manufacturers have been plentiful
throughout the South this month and
while the volume of lumber actually
moved has not increased very much
over February. inquiries are numerous
enough to show the way the wind Is
blowing.
In the hardwood section all mills
that can secure logs are operating on
full time, and shipping out about as
fast as they cut. Prices have tended
upward regularly since fall, and there
is no inclination on the part of mills
ed oak, ash, hickory, chestnut and
the favorite grades for the furniture,
vehicle and interior work lines, have
been much in demand with very high
prices paid in some instances. Most
of the streams in the South have been
up all this month, bringing an excel
lent crop of logs to the mills. Rats
that have been tied up for several
months along the headquarters of the
various rivers have been able to trav-
ell and these have given the river
mills an excellent supply of logs.
In the pine sections, where prob
lens by the score have confronted
mill men for more than two years,
something real in the form of orders
is now coming in. Just when bust
ness began to revive, however, the
report came from Washington that
the tariff on lumber was to be greatly
reduced if not entirely taken off. This
with the threatened advance in the
freight rates caused a ripple in pine
circles this week, but otherwise busi-
ness is moving on splendidly. Spring
trade is now on and creates a certain
colume of business which cannot wait
until congress is through with tariff
| legislation.
Railroads are again entering the
market for ties, bridge timber, etc,
and car manufacturers are pretty lib
eral buyers if car stick. This influ-
ence is felt more in pine sectiins than
in hardwood, but it has had a good
effect in al lumber producing Sec
tions.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by an inhamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it IS
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be TAX
en- out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inf1amed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hup3red Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars free.

PREACHING PROSPERITY

The current number of the Worlu
Work says that group OF men WIN

normal times employ more than l,oOo'-
600 men. has adopted a novel and in
tteresting campaign of publicity. They
admit that their object is to sell more
of their products. They make and
sell nearly all the railroad equipment,
supplies. parts and machinery that
are used in this country.
Their buyers are the railroads.
They found, last year, that they could
not buy. Going behind this grim fact,
they found the railroads unable TO
buysbecause they did not make enough
money. The cause of this condition
they found to be exceedingly complex.
Some of it's constituent parts were
quite beyond their reach. They anal
wed the cause as best they could,
and set to work with a propaganda
to search out and remedy what they
could.
They studied the legislation of the
states. Here and there, they have
taken an active hand in framing pub
lie opinion on this subject. They con-
fess that railroads have done much
wrong. but they argue that that is no
reason for cutting off the railroads
heads and killing them. On this ba-
sis. they preach and write and talk.
Under the circumstances, is it not
time that we wake up to the fact that
traffic is international? And should
our railroads not have fair show in
our own borders? 1t may be true that
heaven ordained japan and Greater
Britain to control the trade of the
Pacific; bu tsurely our own laws
might at least give our own railroads
whatever little chance heaven may
leave to them.
One may find these men making
speeches at public dinners in all the
cities from Boston to San Francisco;
working hand in glove with big COM
mercia1 bodies of states and cities;
preaching their doctrine in little in
terviews here and there-wherever
their normal business takes them;
studying figures dug up from railroad
annual reports or Legislative records;
even reading with much labor drafts
of bills from the last session or the
sketches of bills for the coming ses-
sion in their own or other states.
They take but a languid interest in
wind and noise. And the strangest
part of the whole movement is that
they seem to have done some real
good. Perhaps that is mainly because
they began at home, with their own
army of employees, and tried to teach
them just why they were on short
hours last year, or out of work.

Editor News:
Something must be done to stay the
increasing tide of straying, home
people. The writer has found by
cursory investigation that nearly half
the negroes who have left the haunts
of their childhood and sought other
sections, have done so from the re-
suit Of being under some criminal
charge OF the whites, the same law
exists except that railroading and
travelling as commercial tourists low
ers the proportion of outlawry with
the unsettled whites.
In view of the facts in the case it
would be a timely and at, the same
time a protective measure, wholesome
and just, to have every one who goes
beyond the bounds of his personal
acquaintance to carry with him GER
tificate from an officer that he is OF
good character and under no criminal
charge where he has been living.
Commercial travellers and others
whose vocation shows that they have
the confidence of their employer,
could we'll be excepted from the re-
quirement.
Let each stray, unsettled and wan
dering person be required to carry the
certificate from an officer; and let
said officer be one who has the Gus
tody of the criminal records of the
country, village, town or city. Let 1t
be so that stray persons can be re-
uuired to establish themselves on de-
mand of the lawful authorities.
Let the executive constabulary oil
each locality, such as police, deputy
sheriffs, constables, etc., be fully en-
powered to demand of these wander
ing persons their former home, voca-
ton, and soon. Have it so the per-
son may, if thus apprehended, clear
himself of suspicion by giving the
