IMPORTANT CUSTOM COURT DECISION Importer Can Appeal From
 Assessment of Duty MIR. BARBER DISSENTS Is of Sweeping Importance in the Ad- ministration of Tariff, Law-De-
 cision by the Custom
 Appeals Court
MIR. BARBER DISSENTS

Wahsington, March 12.-A decision of sweeping importance in the adminlstra- tion of the tariff law, declaring that an importer can appeal from an assessment of duty by collector of customs on the ground that the assessment was too low, was rendered by the United States court of customs appeals today.
 The decision, according to customs eX- perts. means that manufacturers. dis agreeing with the treasury department $ interpretation of the tariff act can import test shipment and appeal to the GUS toms court to get more protection through higher duties.
 The case is that of L. M. Schwartz and T. Aubrey Byrne, importers, whose appeal from assessment was sustained by the New York board of general ap- praisers. The government in it's turn ap- peaIed The opinion turned on the word dissatisfied"
 Judge Barber dissented.
 'The importer is given the right" the majority opinion states, ito appeal to the board from the decision of the colec- tor if dissatisfied with that decision"
 The court held that where importers re- gard the assessed rate as illegally low they should be given the right for their own safety to appeal.
 In his dissenting opinion. Judge Barber said the law contemplated an appeal only when the importer claimed the assess ment of duty to be too high. He declared it was hardly conceivable that an inn porter would be dissatisfied with too low a rate or too small an amount. He thought the word dissatisfied" was em- ployed in the sense of aggrieved.
 ''The party in interest in one of these cases at least" said Judge Barber, lis 8 domestic manufacturer, and it is argued In effect, in view of the fact that one of the purposes of the tariff law is to en- courage the industries of the United States, that protected domestic industry under the guise of an importer should have the right to appeal from too low a assessment of duty for the purpose of securing an adjudication that higher rate is lawful, to the end that the protective features of the law may be made fully op- erative. l disagree with that contention" "

ITALIANS ARE
 DESERVING TOWN Negro-Italian Fued Is Still Raging in Bessemer.
 Other News

Bessemer, March Special LOW ing to the continuation of the feud between the negroes and the Italians at Bessemer, Italians are leaving this city by the droves. It is predicted thar if the present rate of removal among the Italian colony keeps up there will not be more than half dozen Italian families in the city inside of month.
 Ever since the lynching of John Chandler in January the negroes have maintained a strict boycott on all ltal- ian merchants and as a result the eX- tent of their trade keeps them almost at starvation. Several depredations against the Italians have been commit ted during the interim and everyone of these have been charged directly to the negroes. No denial of them has been made by the negroes. on one occasion the store of an Italian was dynamited and the entire back end of the house demolished. No arrests have since been made for this affair either by the police or by the sheriff s forces. The concensus of opinion is that this was done by hostile negroes. There have been several Italian stores rocked by persons who are believed to have been negroes.

DR.. Wiley Is Out
For Prohibition
U. S. Food Expert Tells New
Workers. the Abolition of
Liquor Is Desirable

New York, Feb. 1s.-(speciaD-
Prof. Fl. W. Wiley, the government g
pure food expert, and DR.. E. H. Porter,
state health. commissioner, taking part
in the Saturday discussion at the Re-
publican club today, which was on
'fNatural Health" said they were for
prohibition
Prof. Wiley said the country would
be much better off if there was no al.
cohol in it and added: "I would not
be sorry to see universal prohibition -
The above thought as expressed by
DR.. Wiley voices the conclusions
reached by all deep students of So
ciology.
The evil resulting from alcohol is
chiefly manifest in the result of it's
use as beverage, The poison Of al
cohol which has ruined and is ruin
ing 90 many men and women has not
always been regarded in the light of
an evil that could, and should, be
removed, as it really is. The fact
that the continued use Of alcoholic
sllmulanIs nd5 toS ellecC OF pIoNnc-
ing a toxic or poisoned condition in
the person using them which poi
soned condition causes q craving or
desire for more liquor, has become
generally recognized By the more pro
gressive members of the medical pro
fession, only of late years. since DR.;
r. E. Neal originated and perfected
the Neal Three Day Treatment for the
liquor habit; and the originating and
perfecting of this remedy BY DR.. Neal
has opened up wonderful field to the
enemies of alcohol.
Already thousands Of men and
women have been taken from the ranks
Of the drupkards, cured and rehsbili.
tated, and in three days time perfect
ly cured Of their craving aud desire foI
liquor. All of these men and women
have naturally assumed an attitude of
sympathy and purpose beside the enc
mics Of the poison that was wrecking
them, and instead of contributing 10
the support Of an evil are its most act
