UNCLE SAM HITS
CONSUMERS HARD
DEMANDS RETALiATORY DUTY
ON FLOUR COMING HERE
FROM ARGENTINA.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Hpes that
the cost of living might be reduced
by free importations of wheat, -four
and other wheat products from the
great South American grain producer,
the Argentine republic went glimmer-
ing today when Assistant Secretary
Hamlin sent notice to collectors of
customs that the retaliatory duty on
wheat and it's products must be en-
forced against Argentina and most of
the other nations of the world. Un-
der the new tariff law wheat and its
products are to be admitted free from
countries which admit such products
free from the United States.
Argentina imposes duty on semo-
lima, product of wheat, and although
both the president and congress OF
that nation are understood to favor a
repeal of this provision Of their tariff
law, such action has not been taken.

HOME WITHOUT WARNING
BY FLOOD.

DALLAS, Tex, Dec. 3.-Central
Texas rivers rose suddenly Tuesday
as the result of heavy rains, doine
over one hundred thousand dollars
damage, washing out tracks, delaying
trains and reaching the food stage
in the cities Of Fl. Worth, Waco and

threatened destruction to a nearly
completed 100000 dam.

levee protecting a part of the city On
its east bank. A number of small
dwellings have been flooded.

AN OBSERVATION.

Columbia, Tenn, Nov. q, 1913.
To the Editor of The Herald:
To one in the past who has found
much of his labors in courts of JUS
tice, the recent trial of Norman Bats
in the circuit court which terminated
Thursday morning with verdict of
guilty, proved interesting. AS to the
sentenc or rather verdict of murder
in the second degree, and imprison-
ment for fourteen years, its public ap-
preal is a matter of conjecture. What
this contributor wishes to call atten-
ton to Is the rapidity with which the
wheels Of the legal machinery moved
in the fair and impartial conduct of
the trial. Began Monday and finish
ed Thursday morning. each side &C
corded all it's just and legal rights,
very excellent jury, able and skillful
prosecution, and as able and skilful
defense, clear and concise instruc-
tons from the trial judge, all were
marked and it was refreshing to the
friends of law and justice. For legal
learning and ability as pleaders the
defense held as strong hand as any
county in the state could show, while
to General Frierson, the young advo-
cate of the people, and his splendid
assistants, go congratulations for
their conduct and ability. General
Frierson is entitled to the greatest
measure of praise for his splendid
speech closing for the law. He was
the recipient of the warm congratula-
lions of all who heard his very strong
and able presentation of the law and
evidence, after the skilled defense had
built I'D a strong collection OF claims
and events OBSERVER

BILLLOOKING TO
VOLUNTARY ARMY
MEASURE CALLED UP IN HOUSE
AND IMMEDIATE PASSAGE
is URGED.

WASHINGTON, Dec AFTER
discussion into which republican
Leader Mann injected the Mexican
situation, the house today passed the
Hay army volunteer bill that in vary
ing forms has been talked of at the
capital for many years
The bill. which now goes to the
senate, would put war volunteer fore
es on an equal footing with the regu-
lar army. It would provide that
whenever in the Presidents judgment
war is imminent, or actually exists,
the President may organize volunteer
regiments for war purposes. The men,
instead Of enlisting for a short period,
as in past years, would enlist "for
war" The President would appoint
all the officers, not more than four
regular officers to be appointed to any
one volunteer regiment. The volun-
teer force thus formed would supple
ment the existing national guard or
militia, with which the bill would not
interfere.

On Nov. 80, 1892 The Daily Herald.
the first daily paper ever published
in Columbia, ended its career. Lack
Of patronage and the panic were the
causes. The Daily Herald was again
started Oct. 1, 1899, seven years
later and has since been continuous
ly published. 1t is now one OF the
established institutions of Columbia,
stronger, more influential, with a
larger circulation and better patron
age than ever before in its history.
OF necessity this column will have
to be discontinued, very much to our
regret and the disappointment of our
readers.
