Customs Decision

New York Judge Of Appraisers Court
Rules on Baskets Of Mixed
Material.

Judge McCIeIland. Of the Board Of
United States General Appraisers,
handed down a decision in New York
last week which is of particular in
terest to a thriving Atlanta concern.
A basket importing firm in the
East brought goods from abroad
which were made of braided rush in
natural color and stained willow. The
customs appraisers assessed duty OF
40 per cent, as stained willow, while
the Importers claimed they should
pay only 35 per cent, as natural rush.
The importer lost before Judge Nc
Clelland
The Bombayreed Importing and
Manufacturing Company of Atlanta
imports considerable of the same
class of goods, and watched the de-
cision with interest. In the past, II
is said, II has been the custom to de-
eide whether the duty shall be S5 or
40 per cent, according to whether the
natural rush or the stained yellow
predominates in the design.
f. K. Ward, Of the Bombayreed
company, is in Grand Rapids, Mich,
where his firm is making an exhibit
at the furniture show. A similar ex-
hibit is being made at the furniture
show in High Point, n. c.
Publication in Hearst's American of
a statement by Mr. Ward that Ameri-
can farmers could make good profits
by cultivating the native willow on
their waste lands brought a flood OF
letters from farmers submitting sam
pies OF willows and requests for val
uations on them. Mr.. Ward sticks to
his statement that there is money in
IT for the farmer, and with very little
work. but he says the willow must be
cultivated. as otherwise the shoots
are too short and are crooked and
knotty. A Government bulletin tells
inst how this should no done

is certainly equal to many sec
lions that have been made to pro-
duce twice our yield per acre.
We need more farmers meetings
where the better methods can be
discussed, more reading and
studying of farm literature, and
more of our farmers who will try
out some of the new methods.
New and more profitable crops
should be tried, the poultry rails
ing should be systemized, the
milk cows should be tested and
the Improbable ones sent to the
butcher. In short, hap-hazard
farming should give place to well
planned effort and systematic
management.

Once more and for all time let
let US state that the COURIER is
neutral in the races for the dem
ocratic nominations for county
Offices. 1t will, as newspaper,
take no sides in the struggle. 1t
will publish only such commune
cations bearing on these races as
are paid for at its regular adver-
Using rates, and its columns are
as free to one candidate as an
other. If any candidate wishes
to state his reasons for seeking
the support Of the citizens of the
county he can do so on the above
terms. All will be treated with
perfect fairness and we will play
no favorites. And, by the way,
the best way to get your candi-
dacy and what you stand for be-
fore the people is through the
columns Of the COURIER.

We fear that the farmers OF
Morgan county are not yet fully
aroused to the necessity OF
adopting modern methods of till
ing the soil. The rapid increase
in population has imposed extra
requirement from the soil. The
necessity for increasing the pro-
duction of each acre is daily be
coming more imperative. 1t has
reached point when successful
farming requires the best brains
of the age. If our farmers keep
abreast of the times and make
their labor profitable they must
take up the study Of the conser-
walton of the soil and diversity
their crops more.
Recognizing these needs of the
farmer the COURIER has been
trying to put before them the
best ways Of accomplishing these
results. We are now running in
its columns a series Of Home
Lessons in Scientific Agricul'
ture" that will be of incalable
value to the farmers if they arc
closely studied and needed. 0ul
county is possibly the best farm
ing county in the mountains. /

Two Old Timers Express Their Views

over the folies and the extravagnnces

had been industriously whiting a
stick and listening attentively at the
same time laughed, and then asked,
"How much of the $4,000 does this
county pay"
II dunno" answered one of the men.
"Well, l do" snapped the youth.

and its many fiourishing enterprises,
will be ruined if it shuts up nine sa-
looms. Marion, in proportion to it's
population, is one of the most pros
porous counties in the state Neither
the dry counties nor the wet ones
have anything on it in prosperity or
enterprise, and it is the Stars opinion
that the result of Tuesdays election
will make little difference one way
or another. The great majority of
the counties in Florida are dry. Pro-
hibition does not seem to have hurt
them. Duval, Hillsborough, Dade
and st. Johns are also prosperous
and enterprising..
So the question narrows down TO
whether or not prohibition will de-
crease drunkenness. Drunkenness is
not the only evil, but it is a great
one. 1t increases other evils and it
does not decrease any. We cannot
measure good and evil in dollars and
cents. A sober and industrious citi-
Z6uSuIp Is the state s greatest asset.
How to promote it is matter of hon
est difference among many intelli-
gent men.
So, if the voter believes that Shut
ting the saloons will reduce the
amount of drunkenness in this coun-
ty, he should vote dry. If he believes
shutting them Twill increase the
amount of illegal selling-to the
point where drunkenness and disor-
der will exceed what it is now, he
should vote wet.
The editor of the Star intends to
vote dry He has friends that he
knows to be temperate, honorable
and devoted to the public interest,
who are going to vote the other way
So let us all vote without prejudice,
but as our reason and conscience die
tate, and accept the result without
bitterness.

Mr.. w. L. Martin, secretary of the
Leesburg board of trade, was in town
Friday, trying to interest our bust
ness men in his booster train idea
He did not make much impression.
In the first place, our Board of Trade
has several other matters of greater
promise on hand; in the second, it
is obvious that Mr.. Martin is biting
off more than he can chew. A
booster train" that would amount
to enough to do the state any real
good, would require much more time
and preparation that he is able to
give this one by the date set. If
such a train is sent out, it must be
very good one, or it will be bad for
the state instead of beneficial Call
it off, Mr.. Martin, until you can put
in about a year of scientific prepare
ton.
