Mar tion began to be q warm competitor in the local field and Is now one of the best equipped and paying country plants in this section. The paper has a subscrip- ton list of nearly 2000 and an advertis- Ing patronage that is a good paying part of the enterprise. The retiring owner, Mr Martin, will be connected with tte paper under it's new management, and with his wide acquaintance in this terri tory will be valuable adjunct to the new management MT.

TAFT RESPONDS ID
 SENATOR CUMM|NS
Submits Data Gathered by Tariff Board But States That Some Is "NOt
 Available"

Washington, March 1.-President Taft's response to a resolution intro duced into the Senate by Mr. Cum- mins. asking for data gathered by the tariff board in respect to articles GOV cred by the proposed Canadian reel procity agreement and many articles which the agreement does not include was read in the Senate today. The answer probably will prove unsatls- factory to the Iowa senator unless 1t was his purpose to show by iltate- ments from the board that there had been insufficient information gathered to proceed intelligently with a tariff discussion on the articles named. The inquiry of the Cummins resolution em- braced pulp, wood, wood pulp, paper wooden thread. cloth and clothing, cot ron thread, cloth and clothing, car pets. boots and shoes, iron ore, pig iron and manufactured iron and steel agricultural implements, coal, meats flour and lumber.
 The President transmitted the in- formation concerning such articles as are included by the Canadian agree ment. lie Sdlu.
 q transmit herewith a report from the tariff. board giving the informa- tion in its possession, relating to pulI wood, pulp and news print paper and farm products Gncluding live stock and current relative prices in Canada and the United States of wheat, bar lev and food products of the farm in cluding meats. poultry and eggs, dairy products and vegetables.
 "The tariff board reports that Its in formation with reference to tariff ar ticles especially mentioned, iron ore pig iron and manufactured articles ol iron and steel. coal and lumber, Is not available for transmission
 Specifying the other articles named the President said that information concerning them were not embraced in the bill, according to the mass oi tables and data of all kinds of the members of the tariff board, which stated the report, especially those re' lating to pulp and news print papel were not final and price figures were not included.
 The evident purpose of MT. Cummin' in presenting his resolution was tt show that the tariff board did not tak' into consideration articles which farm CTS must buy in making an agreemen which opponents of the Mccall bill insist affects only such articles as th' farmer has to sell Neither friends no foes of the reciprocity measure believed today that the situation of that prop osition had materially changed.

WILLIAMS FAVORS THE PARCELS POST Many Speakers at Nashville
 Convention INEVITABLE RESULT Postmaster Wills Favors Adoption of Plan and Frank Wentworth of
 Boston Talks on Fire
 Waste

Nashville. March 1.-Argument. on the other side of the proposition from the greater part of that presented the pre- vious day was heard today at the sec ond days session of the parcels post con vention. Senator-eect John Sharp Will Hams of Mississippi and others speak ing In favor of the parcels post legsla- ton. Senator-elect Williams, however, denounced as absurd certain proposed leg islation with what is commonly termed the uniform rate charges, but said that he was in favor of parcels post of the proper kind and advised the convention to take 8 stand in favor of general parcels post legislation, guaranteeing a schedule of charges based on the distance by which the article is sent and the services rem dered.
 And parcels post is coming" said MT. Williams. Its an evolution, and if you don't favor the proper kind you will get parcels post with uniform postage or nothing. You need not hope to get noth- ing; you are going to get it. A wise man never tries to prevent the inevitable kicking against the bricks only makes sore heels"
 MT. Williams, while he did not recom- mend 1t in all it's complexities. reviewed the system in operation in Germany, and said that 1t is nothing but fair and right to render a government service based on proper charges for distance and service rendered, and that such would be toward the development and extension of business and to the interests of the people as a whole.
 Postmaster A w Wills of Nashville also strongly contended for parcels post. The convention appointed a committee of F on resolutions.
 Another feature of the convention was an address to the merchants by Frank H. Wentworth of Boston on fire waste. He presented statistics showing he great waste by fire in this country as compared with other countries, recommending cer- tain preventative precautions. At night the delegates were the guests of the To- cal manufacturers and jobbers at ban quet
 Owing to the fact that delegates were present from a number of states above the Ohio and Potomac rivers, it was found necessary at the opening session of the parcels post convention to change the name from Parcel Post Convention of Southern Merchants to Parcels Post Con vention of the United States. Delegates are present from all the southern states. New York, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana. Ohio and Missouri.
 Present indications are that the con vention will go on record as opposed to the parcels post bill pending providing for the establishment of experimental parcels post on rural routes and will re- main silent on the proposed graduated charges system.

factor and the labor, coupled with proper management. On the contrary, we found no case in which failure had not followed demoralization and disorganzation.
 The following extract from another part of the report, dealing with conditions 1T Louisiana, has a ring of truth that is pc culiarly applicable to the matter under consideration:
 "Caddo has furnished the classic exam pie of the destructive capacity of the weevil. Since 1908 we have heard a hun dred times of a. plantation which in 190' produced 100 bales and the following year made only 210. We had not, how ever, heard of the adjacent place, whicf has made half a bale or more to the acre ever since the weevll came. and made Il at profit. The situation thus presented serves as a fair illustration of the numer- ous mysteries which follow in the wake of every visitation of the weevil. We were told on every hand of this man whc failed where another succeeded; of fields which made half or three-quarters of a bale, or even a bale to the acre, while Just across a ditch or a fence the weevi wrought absolute destruction.
 Ordinary common sense suggests thai there must be some tangible reason fo1 such occurrences. but it was often diffi- cult to get at the real explanation. We may as well say here as elsewhere that 1t Is our belief that no other insect since the dawn of history, not excepting the Egyptian locust, has had to bear the burden piled by human nature upon the boll weevil. When he once appears all other causes of crop failure are forgot ten. It Is not even remembered that there were any short crops before.
 we visited very few places where we were not assured with the utmost gravity l%@f% a MI \ made bale to the acre. The ravages of the army worm are forgotten; the boil worm Is no longer mentioned; blight is not taken into account; boil rot Is not thought of; shortages of labor and conse- quent overcropping of tenants are 1g- nored: no attention is given the hundred and one things which always have been and always will be limiting factors in cot ton production-but everything IS charged to the weevil
 We have talked to men whose land, equipment and general surroundings did not seem to us to justify more than half bale under the most favorable condi- tions, and been told that while they got only 250 to 300 pounds of lint now, they used to make from 400 to 300 every year."
 While the report of Messrs. Stone and Fort give the boil weevil full credit Tor the destruction he has wrought in his progress across the cotton fields Of the south. its paramount strain Is one of en- couragement and healthful optimism
 In conclusion they declare that they did not find one failure where intelligent meth ods were used. But on the other hand they found that failure invariably fol7 lowed a feeling of panic or demoraliza- ton.
 The-farmers of Alabama will be able to take care of tine pest when he comes The condition calls for courage, co-opera- ton and intelligence.

LEGISLATORS ENJOY
 TRIP TO MARDI GRAS

Montgomery, March 1.-(Special.)- )-Mem- hers of the legislature who went to Mo- bile to participate in the Mardi Gras fes- tivites at that place returned to Mont gomery at o'clock, this morning.
