duty on lemons, lines, grape fruit and
similar fruits. leaving the rates as
fixed by the House, based on the
measurement Of packages. The Senate
had fixed a flat rate of one-half of one
cent per pound. The House rates
agreed to are "a slight reduction over
existing rates.
The other important decision def
nitely removed the proposed counter
vailing duty against wood pulp and
imposed a countervailing duty
against potatoes when imported from
countries imposing duties on like i'm
ports from the United States.
A compromise about one and one
half cents a pound was reached on
Zante currantS, upon which Greek
importers had made a hard fight. The
house provision putting press cloths
used in cotton seed oil mills on the
free list, was accepted. The Senate
members also receded from their rate
on hats. The House rate Of forty pei
cent ad valorem was adopted.

section of the tariff bill was begun by
the tariff conferees late today. After

cally as we'll as mentally very strong.
"Anything the matter with Sam Cat
tbs 2" the Governor asked by way Of
qualifying for the physical test. And
Mr.. Long is a man Of great bodily
strength.
Mr.. Devin was born in Granville
and graduated from the University OF
North Carolina. He made honors
there playing baseball and football
and was a great player in the day:
of George Stephens, Jesse Oldham
Judge Biggs, Pete Murphy, Jimmy
Barnard, Kirkpatrick and other i'm.
