THE CONTROVERSY ENDED.
AfiidaVits Presented, Whereupon
Warrants We're Withdrawn.

In the recent controversy which
arose In the columns of The Courier
In regard to certain statements that
, had gained currency as to Attorney
4 NJ ca Long with reference to the
!, ,,.ToWnYille case, affidavits were sub
united by r, n. Baldwin last Thurs
Z day, upon the signing of which be-
fore Clerk Of Court John r. Craig,
the warrants against Mr.. Baldwin
and S. w. Smith we're withdrawn,
thus ending the matter.
In his affidavit Mr.. Baldwin states
that the article appearing over his
ssignature %as' VII ten" by M r. Smith,
but that he (Baldwin) was not aware
of the contents of the article in It's
entirety. He also states that the
article was written and signed in
his presence and was read to him.
but that he did not understand the
contents thereof; that he has a let
ter written by Mr.. Long to his son,
James Baldwin, in which he James
Baldwin, is asked to testify to the
truth In the Townville case, but that
there is nothing therein that could
be construed as an effort to secure
testimony other than as to the truth
In the matter; that there was no
offer therein to pay for the tcsti-
mony, and that Mr.. Long merely told
his son that if he would testify to
the truth in the case he would see
that he was not hurt. Mr.. Baldwin
states In his affidavit that had he
understood the article to read as it
did he would have requested that it
be changed, or else he would not
have permitted it to be published.
Concluding his afiidavit, Mr.. Bald
win says:
Il make this statement in justice
to myself as well as to Mr. Long, for
| have no desire to injure Mr.. Long
by any such false statement, nor do
l care to injure myself by having my
name signed to such statement.
My name was signed to said state
ment by S. w. Smith in my pres
ence, but it never would have been
done had | known what he had writ
ten"
Upon the presentation Of this affi-
davit, showing that the article in
question was due entirely to mis-
understanding between Mr.. Baldwin
and Mr.. Smith as to what the for
mer had said and as to what the lat
ter had written over his (Baldwin's)
signature, Mr. Long consented to the
withdrawal Of the warrants, thus
endlng the matter.
b. p. Sloan, in an affidavit taken
before Clerk Of Court J. f.. Craig,
states on oath that
"On July 30, 1912, James Bald
win stated in my presence that the
article in regard to NJ. G. Long, pub
lished in The Keowce Courier on
July 10, purporting to have been
written by r. +. Baldwin, was false
He further stated that Mr. Long had
never tried to hire him to swear any
thing In the Townville case, but ask
ed him to tell the truth, and that he
mad only talked to Mr.. Long one time
IN regard to said case, and that he
had never seen Mr.. Long before he
went to his tMr. Long's) Office
The Courier regrets exceedingly
Lhe appearance In its columns Of any
reference to the matter from the be-
ginning to the end, and with the
statements above, which end the mat
ter IN the courts, 1t Is also ended so

WORD IS RECEIVED
 FROM CAPTAIN SCOTT
British Explorer Loses South
 Pole Race to AnundSGl

Captain Robert F. Scotts ship, the -'erra Nova, In which he set out to reach the south pole arrived at Akros, New Zealand
 She did not bring Captain Scott or any members of the expedition, but brought a brief message from the eX- plorer, sent to the base at McMurdo sound, to the effect that he would con- tinue another winter in the antarctic to continue and complete his work.
 Unlike the easy experience, of Amundsen, as related by the latter, Scott met with the greatest difficult ties, thrilling adventures and bad weather. Scott relates that while re- turning to his base after laying depots on Feb. 16, 1911, one of the dog teams fell into a crevasse and Scott himself had an escape from death that was little short of marvellous. He found an ice bridge over which he finally made his way to safety. Three hours were consumed In the work of rescu- ing the dogs.
 Lieutenant Bowers and party en- camped March 1, 1911, on an Ice pack. 4uSy W6E6 a"uhehSu III hhS hAShe bg the breaking of the foe, and 1t was with the greatest difficulty that the party escaped. As 1t was, they lost three of their best ponies. The others leaped over the foes until they reach ed a place of safety.
 Scott says that during the four win ter months the thermometer never reg istered lower than 50 degrees below zero. Bowers and others of the party sledged In mIdwinter to Cape Crozier to watch the incubation of the pen guins and to study the habits of those birds. The result was the acquisition 1 of some exceedingly interesting orno- 1 biological Information.
 While the party was on this trip gale came up and blew for forty-eight hours, wrecking their tent and scat tering their equipment. After other trying experiences the party returned to camp, having made what Scott calls the first winter journey In the antarc- tic. Scott reports the loss of four of his dogs as the result of some mys- terious disease which came on sud denly and was unknown to any of the party.
 In spite of their big loads the ponies went we'll and kept in excellent health. It was found necessary to shoot some of them for food for the dogs.

GOOD ROADS PLANS (Continued from First Page.)

pairs and orders have gone out to that effect. In majority of cases the work has been very well done.
 ''It is the intention of the department to work out some new problems in road building, utilizing some local material other than that which has been used heretofore. It is simply a case of trying to bring the material found in our state into that condition where we can be reasonably certain of fair and just re- turn for the money expended. We hope that we have perfected a formula which will work out splendidly.
 "It has not been our policy to try out everything which has been offered for assembling stone on the road. but rather to wait and watch the results of expert ments with these products in other states, so that before expending any large sums we might be sure of suffi- cient value for the money So far noth. ing has been developed or determined upon by any commissioner. It is sim ply case of experimenting with this and that all over the country So that for some time to come we will have to try and test out before we can reach that conclusion or result which we desire to bring about.
 ''In reference to your inquiry about traction engines-I think the motor truck traffic is increasing rapidly in our state. There should be some legislation ill the state whereby the use of the highway should be protected against the corrugatlOns of traction engines disturb ing and destroying the surface. On an improved highway the tonnage has not so far made any material difference, but the corrugations, or Jugs, on the driving wheels of some of the motor trucks have cut mp our roads to some extent. This will be a difficult matter to remedy. However, some plan will have to be adopted whereby we can regulate this newer travel.
 ''It is the purpose of the state to con. meet up our trunk lines as soon as possi. ble, everything being equal in the towns through which these lines poss. The number of miles is, of course, problema. tical, as the work has not yet been figur, ed upon by contractors so that we might secure figures. Last season we finished over S1 100000 in contracts, and ex pect that we may be able to do fully as much during this coming season. It all depends upon the volume of work which the contractors can handle. We have always been ahead of the contractors in this respect. A year ago the contractors were loaded down with work, some oi them having eight or nine contracts running and this state of affairs is found to exist in other states"

SUDDEN RISE IN
PRICE OF PAPER
Quotations Withdrawn, Printers
VIII Be Forced tO Increase
Prices on all Work as PrOtee-
tiOn.

Nashville, Tenn, June The
month of May has witnessed a sud-
den and sharp advance in the price
Of paper Of all classes, 1t has rad
ically affected the cost Of printing
and will also affect the publishers
to certain extent, in some cases
forcing them TO a new basis Of the
subscription prices.
The Graham Paper Company.
the Clements Paper Company, the
Louisville Paper Company, in fact
every jobber supplying printers
and publishers in Tennessee, have
advised the trade of the withdraw
al of all former prices and the adj
vancement, without further notice,
of prices, and with the further in
formation that these prices are not
guaranteed for any length of time.
The whole paper situation is in
a decidedly unsettled condition.
In order to protect themselves,
printers and publishers will neces-
sarlly haye to advance their prices
at once.
The causes that have led up to
these advances have been the in
creased cost of labor and the fact
that all mills have been running
heretofore on the two-tour system;
that is, all paper mills run contln-
uously for twenty-four hours and
have heretofore been operated by
two sets of hands working twelve
hours each. This system has been
supplanted by the thrce-tour sys-
tenn of three sets of hands working
eight hours each. In New Eng
land mills this change of hours
has been brought about by state
laws.
Further, there has been a SHARP
increase IN raw material because
all paper stock, including wood
pulp and chemicals, are now con
trolled entirely by the trusts. Fur
lher advances were caused by the
adoption of new trade customs by
the mills. The range of increase
on the prices of papers are from
10 TO 80 per cent, according to the
grade or quality.
