PROTEST AGAINST
FOREIGN ROSIN

Washington, October 5-Contending
that the foreign rosin interests in the
south are causing great inroads on the
trade in the south. Henry Blum, Jr.., of
Savannah, Ga, has made representations
to the treasury department looking to
correcting what the southern interests
regard as a classification advantage under
the present tariff law. A large amount
of rosin is being imported as crude mate
rial, without having to pay duty. This,
according to the southern people, is
through wrong classifications, and the
question before the department is wheth-
er material put into the imported rosin
is for the purpose of preventing deteror-
alton, or whether it is used in the rosin
as process of manufacture, and there
fore subject to assessment of duty
Mr. Blum, who represents prominent in
terests in the rosin territory and is the
Georgia member of the republican ma
views with the treasury officials. At the
suggestion of acting Secretary of the
Treasury Reynolds he went to confer
with the customs officials in Philadelphia
where a shipload of rosn is being held
pending the investigation of the question
of deterioration and decision by the de-
partment.
He will see acting Secretary Reynolds
tomorrow, when 1t will be decided wheth-
er the rosfn is dutiable.

the railroads and express companies for
transportation of freight free. We need
a car load of shelled corn in bags 81
that we may send it to towns throughout

LARGE DECREASE
In PEANUT CROP

Petersburg, Va, October 1.-The pea
nut crop in Virginia and North Carolina
will show a big decrease in yield this
year, according to reports from different
sections of those two states.
The average yield of these two states in
previous years has been about 1000 600
bags of Virginias. of four bushels, and
about 100000 of Spanish nuts. 1t is esti-
mated that the crop of Virginia this year
will be about 20 per cent, while the yield
of Spanish nuts will be slightly below 20
per cent. The decreased acreage is due
TO a prolonged spell of wet weather dur
ing the planting season and a drouth at
a later date affecting the seed planting.

HIS CELLMATE

Jeffersonville, Ind, October 5.-Noah
Burris, prisoner in the southern In
diana reformatory in this city, this morn
ing fatally wounded his cell-mate, Fritz
Hoffman, who died tonight. The crimial-
ogists at the institution assign blood lust
as the sole cause of the murder and de-
clare Burris has always been an especial
ly incorrigible prisoner
The scene of the crime was the mems
cell. Hoffman, who was % years old and
who would have been paroled four weeks
from today, was a simple German lad
who was convicted of stealing a pie, and
Burris was in Jail for alleged grand lar
ceny.
The weapon used was an iron rod,
which Burris had secreted after bending
1t into the shape of a bludgeon.

isn't 1t the most tantalizing thing
imaginable?" l asked as we drifted in a
coy conversation as the shoe clerk was
looking up our numbers, ITO put on a
brand new pair of silk hose only to
discover that stitch has been dropped
just one to begin with--and before you
know 1t has run from the top right down
to the toe, as broad and as long as the
Amazon river?''
Yes, and the worst of 1t ALL" was the
ready response on this congenial sub
ject, at matters not how sllilful a needle
woman one happens to be, yea, verify, she
may be able to industrionsly mend a rent
in the flmiest of lace, or cover up the
hardest sort of chiffon tear. or yet en-
broider a Tiger Lily ON floating stream
in the cobwebbiest Of fabrics yet she
cannot fill up the space which one lit
tie drop stitch can make in a pair of silk
stockings"
AN elderly lady friend of mine told me
the other day." I remarked, that when
she was married she had IL pairs of bal
briggan stockings in her trousseau, and
they lasted her seven years.
And today" replied my friend. 10
pairs are exhausted nearly every seven
months
"'One thing about stockings and that is
they are no respector of persons" con-
tlnued. For I have seen the stateliest
of DANES exposed to the public's jeers,
as well as the giddiest maids and in this
day of low shoes, it is no uncommon
sight to see a perfectly good heel &C.
casionally on view"
II live on the most public thorough
fare of the Highlands, as you know"
occurrence to have people run In during
an afternoon and beg for needle and
a bit of thread, so that they may sew
up hole in their stockings. They all
begin by saying that the stocking was
perfectly good when they left home, just
as I explained to the shoe clerk a mo-
ment ago. Likely as not though they
make two or three other stops during an
afternoon at kind friends houses to bor-
row implements to mend other apertures
in these unsatisfactory articles of wear
ing apparel"
1--WE often asked the merchants what
it is that makes the stocking of today so
frail and tickle in the way they behave
and they usually say:
Probably it is the dye that eats them
out;
"or perhaps, the thin stockings that
women wear nowadays were never In
tended for walking purposes
Because the laundress washes them
with an acid that eats them out"
"And many more equally plausible rea-
sons
"All of which convinces me-" said my
friend that the stockings we buy now
adays are not worth what We pay for
them"

unreasoning gentlemen who made up
the tariff bill must have acted in response
to suggestions from the manufacturers
of stockings at least in INJECTING such an
iniquitous and sinful document supposed
to be committed in the name of protec
ton upon an unsuspecting public. They
should have made some demands in re-
turn for this higher rate in these ar
ticles of wearing apparel
For instance, the increased rate should
demand.
1. That the manufacturers serve to the
public a better article than we have
been purchasing heretofore.
2. Let the manufacturers change their
formulas so as TO make hosiery that Will
last a reasonable length of time.
3. Let them start pure food and drug
act for "hosiers' and demand that the
materials used will not tear the very
first time one puts them on, and will
not dissolve in water or absolutely disin|
tergrate into thin air at a single wearing.
These clauses should have been incor-
porated in the tariff bill by all means,
otherwise the women of today will have
to bark back to old methods and knit
their own stockings as well as those of
their husband, children, and her sisters
and her cousins and her aunts.

few days ago 1 espled near me one OF

Whereupon madame coughed nervously,
stammered something inaudible and finally
said to the clerk:

I started away from home this morning
with brand new pair of silk stockings
on, but am afraid to take off my
shoes. because I just know I've got hole
in my stocking
AT this juncture 1 did the real "Butin-

article, and in the case of the silk af

haustion."
1T is a perjured article Turing one

after couple of hours exposed to the
eyes of the glazing populace,' responded
my friend.
