WARE SHOALS BOYS ACQUITTED.
Alleged Gamblers Are Tried Is, Jury
And Found Not GuiIty.

Two weeks ago The Advertiser had
an article concerning the arrest of
twenty-five young men Of Ware Shoals
on the laurens side of the line, charg-
ed with gambling on Sunday after
noon. 1t seems that some of the young
men took great offence at the publca-
tion of the fact that they as alleged"
gamblers were arrested, for this office
has received two communications on
the matter, replying somewhat to the
charge, but of such nature as to
make their publication impossible.
The letters state that the trial was held
that they were represented by At
torney Mcdowell of Greenwood, and
that the jury empanelled by Magis-
trate Kellctt acquitted them of the
charge
The young men should stop to think
that the word alleged" was used and
that does not mean that they really are
gamblers. but that that is the charge
against them, upon which they were
arrested. Since they have been ac-
quilted, the matter is ended, at least
so far as the newspaper accounts OF
1t are concerned.

people will raise more chickens and
that there will be general economy in

meat, common COW and pig People
are paying 20 cents the pound for
pork and pork sausage, and IL cents

the local market men but they are
really not to blame; it is not their
fault. The Advertiser reporter has
made inquiries about the meat bust
ness and he finds that the LEGAL mar
ket men make in clear profits OF only
about cents n pound on beef and Just
about the same on pork They pay
1-2 cents for beef in the killing and
cutting there is n waste of about 80
per cent making the cost about ! l-2
and for this they get an average price
OF about 10 to IL cents the pound
Hogs cost them 10 cents the pound
and there is waste there Of 33 l-3 per
cent. SO the local butchers are not
at fault
Asked why he thought meat had
gone up SO, Mr.. S. G.. Mcdaniel said
yesterday: 1T is not our fault: the
hogs that we buy i'm Tennessee have
gone way up, They say that the pack
ing house people bought up all the
big hogs early in the year, and the sup

the price is just forced up on us. We
get nearly all our pork from Tennes-

Mr.. Mcdaniel said that he bought
about 10 per cent of his beef cattle
from foreign markets

COMMISSION ON
TARIFF IS URGED
LOG Rolling Congress Cant
Frame Proper Measure, Says
Businessmen's Society

NEW YORK, June 12.-President Cobb
of the National tariff commission asso-
citation, with headquarters here, issued
a statement today urging congress to
enact at this session legislation Great
ing a tariff commission
The situation is so serious, it is added,
that a conference of prominent busi-
nessmen will be held in Washington
this week to discuss the matter. The
statement continued.
The republican party is in control
of both branches of congress and is
in position to make good" by CIV
ing us some progressive, construc-
tive legislation.
1t is aside from the point to dis
cusS whether the Payne bill is the
best that can be expected under the
system of log rolling and trading
heretofore practiced in tariff legis-
lation. Certainly no bill passed by
either party indicates that better
can be expected. The Investigations
of our asSocia tion clearly show that
the country wants the tariff ques-
tionS carefully and scientifically in
vestigated by an independent and
permanent board or commission and
the results of their work presented
to congress as the basis for tariff
legislation.
Cobb appends to his statement the
opinions of businessmen and manufac-
turers, who point out the danger of con-
tinued tariff agitation. r. E. Miles.
chairman of the executive committee of
the association is quoted as saying that
during the tariff making last summer
the loss to the country's business ex-
ceeded $40, 100000 a day.
