SUPREME OVER
TARIFF SOLONS
Get Better of Revised Schedule
on Imported Gloves by
Reversing Fashion
Eel in Bill Gives Appraisers
Absolute Authority, With
No Chance to Appeal

II He Domen of the country have
proved more than match for
congress. The Lawmakers met
the insistent demand for reduction in
The tariff on gloves By a cut in the duty
on short Drist gloves only. This arti-
Gle mas little Dorn at the time. 1t had
been pretty generally superseded By
the long el6oD glove. and on this stple
OF gauntlet congress mas careful to
leave The duty at its former high point.
But nom that congress has adjourned,
the DoHcn have sDitchcd the stple and
have gone back to the short glove.
Thus they gain an advantage which
congress had not meant to bestop.
The Drist gloves. which formerly car
ried duty of $l.75 dozen, mill
henceforth come in for ST. .25 dozen.
II Dould appear that the pon1en have
been able to get a bargain epen out

Court Shorn of Power

Ine eel IN the tariff bill was held
up yesterday for close study and in
spection by the customs brokers and
importers of the city. A number of
copies of the statute were received
from Washington, but the official docu-
ments did not arrive until later in
the week Interest centered chiefly in
the provision which gives the board
of appraisers complete authority over
posed TO be the arbiter on all vital
issues, is thus shorn of the most i'm
portant power conferred by the act. 1t
rests. therefore. with the appraisers to
shift the schedule at will.
1t requires only a concrete illustra-
thus created has in reality given the
country a mercurial tariff. Suppose,
for instance, woman of fashion in
Pacific avenue desires to purchase
abroad a handsomely carved dresser.
The price she pays in France may be
800. When the dresser reaches the
custom house duty OF 80 per cent is
imposed, and thus the cost is raised
to s135.
Now the American manufacturer of
this class of furniture may find that
because of local conditions he can not
sell that same article of furniture for
less than $40. He will perceive that
the S5 per cent duty is not SUFFICIENT
for his purposes. He can not have the
duty raised, so he VIII go about it in
a different way. He will cause a pro-
test to be lodged against the valuation
of the French importation at 500, and
If circumstances, commercially, poIit-
ically or otherwise, are propitious, he
may be able to convince the appraisers
that the furniture should take valua-
tion of $780,

THURSDAY. JULY 8. 1909.

A former editor Of The Robe
sonian was wont to devote some
thing like half a column in each
issue to explaining about the
good things he had to leave out
of the issue just preceding on
account of lack Of space. We
trust our readers always under
stand that it is always necessary
to leave something over for an
other issue because of limited
space, without our taking time
or space to explain; but we feel
like saying at this time that if
you notice any correspondence
or other items that you think
should have been published soon
er, please consider that we are
like the girl who, when asked
soon after she arrived late at {
party, why so pensive?" re
piled that she could not ge
there sooner. It's a teeth-gnash
ing proposition to have to holt
items over sometimes, but i
cannot be avoided.

Overman Secures Drawback On
Cotton Ties.

Washington Cor. Raleigh News and Observer
Senator Overmsn scored in the
Senate today when he secured
the adoption of his amendment
providing for a drawback on
cotton ties. The Tar Heel Sem
ator introduced this amendment
last week in the hope that the
finance committee would accept
| it. This the committee was dis
inclined to do, and so the amend
ment came up in the Senate to-
day. 1t was opposed by Senator
Burton, but Senator Overman
rallied his friends along with the
Southern Senators, who were
unanimously for it, and the
amendment was adopted. This
drawback on ties is of very
large Importance to the cotton
planters. They will be able as
the result of its provisions to get
back ninety-nine per cent. Of the
duties on cotton ties shipped
abroad.

venting lightning. The French

recognized Romas' claim in

Fallieres has accepted the pres

BOGUS TIT LE
THE VERPLANK ADDITION is
UNDER A CLOUD.
Suit To Quiet Title Must Be
Complete Before Good
Title Is Had.

As a result of the carelessness Of
either county recorder or deed
drawer some twenty years ago,
q great deal of inconvenience is result
ing and is bound to increase as time goes
along. C. w. Verplank, upon whose
land portion of Fallon is built, is the
victim who will suffer financial loss and
great inconvenience, arising from this
mistake. 1t has lately been discovered
taat some twenty years ago, when he
first acquired his ranch property, now
largely given over to town lot subdivi-
sions, the deed transferring the proper
ty from the preceding wner to him
came under cloud, for antedating this
time Joe Allen had transferred the prop
erty in question TO one Rond, and the
records of the county show that the deed
issued bp Mr.. Allen designated parcel
of land of the same dimensions, but sit
uate just six miles farther south in diff
ferent township. 1t is not known wheth-
or the mistake was of the county record
er Of that period, who was John Murphy,
now deceased, or Of the party who drew
the instrument, but the fact remains
that the county records show the land to
be just six miles from where it really is.
As result, Mr.. Verplank will be
forced to clear the records and the ac-
tion necessary will entail legal counsel
and considerable expense. In the
meantime there are good many own
ers of Verplank addition realty who
wonder just when the action of quiet
ing title will occur. There is law in
every state by which ene who has had
