asserting that for President Tafts adj
ministration "to concede the right to
arbitrate the difference would be a
splendid achievement" but holding
that 1--WE are in the wrong and would

adopted to home use however, there are few principles involved in the canning of fruits and vegetables that many people do not realize and many of the reported cases of failure are due to some simple fault in the Wori, which can be easily remedied.
 Realizing the importance of this work of utilizing the surplus fruits and vegetables on the farm, the St. Louis Southwestern Railway Cotton .BelD Lines are preparing to operate special fruit packing and canning demonstration car which will contain practically every type of canning and fruit preserving outfit adapted to use on the farm and in the small can- nery. This car is equipped for actual working demonstrations, having 6 steam boiler, kitchen range, packing tables and cannig outfits varying from common wash boiler to a clos cd steam processing outfit costing about $200
 The car will be in direct charge oF P. T. Cole, assistant agricultural commissioner of the company, and the plan of operation will be for thf Ca rto visit the more important fruit and vegetable producing centres and to remain at each place day or two so that the farmers and their families as well as other interested persons can visit it and see the demonstra- tions will be conducted during the day and the car will be open eve nings when convenient.

Baltimore, May IA; the meeting of the executive board of the Ameri- can Automobile Association here to- mOrroW. the question of carrying tu the federal Supreme Court the consti. tutlonality of the automobile regis tration tax will be considered. rresi- dent Laurens Enos appointed spec ial committee to prepare and present report of the committee.
 William II. llotchkiss of New York is chairman of the committee, with Lewis R. Speare, of Massachusetts, and II. M. Rowe. of Maryland, as his associates, Charles Traddeus Terry. chairman of the A. A. A. Legislative Hoard, who has had much to do with the framing of motor laws in many parts of the country, has assisted the committee in the preparation of ito report.
 The case that may be appealed to the supreme court originated ill New jersey, which state calls for three payments by the automobile owner; registration of ear, driving license, and property tax. The A. A A, state organization instituted the suit which has had adverse decisions i'll the New Jersey Courts.
 Where the registration tax has I,a0l the money used exclusively for road maintenance, as ill New York state there has been slight objection on the part of the motorists over the Il Il C Il titutional discrimination against one class of road users, as long as the amounts paid were with | in reason. The protest recently has accumulated strength in those states in which the owners of motor driven vehicles are called upon to pay reg i istration tax, personal property tax, and still another tax for the driving 2 of the car Double taxation anddiS- l crimination against one class of road user are the two points which invite attack on the ground of unconstltu-

RECOMMENDS
THAT COURT HUoSE BILL DO not PASS.

Especial to The Journal)
Raleigh, Feb. 19.-With the Senate
committee on counties, cities, towns
and townships, having at a meeting
where there was scarcely quorum
present, voted to report the Jack
son Court House election bill unfaE-
ably, and with a majority of the
committee having signed the minor
ity report, the fate of that bill,
which is of SO much interest to the
people of Jackson County hangs in
the balance. There are a nun! Der
of important bills before the Senate
which have been given date for
special consideration and it is rath-
er hard to tell just when the court
house bill will be given attention
in the Senate.
The opposition to the bill claim at
vote, the senate will consign it to
innocous desuetude. These WHO
favor the bill are still fighting with
persistence and faith. Sena tor
Hannah, OF the district in which
Jackson County is situated is in IA
vor of the passage of the bill and it
is believed that the senate will not
turn the bill down as it is purely a
local issue and as both the senator
ana the representatives from Jack
son County are in favor OF allowing
the people to settle the issue iCr
themselves.
The majority Of the delegations
Oh both SHE oI the issue have lett

only a few to see the issue that has
brought Jackson County and hel
affairs into the lime light, settled

Atlanta Journal.
Asa G. Gambler and other Atlanta
capitalists, will spend something
over $20,000,000 on the extention of
the Greenville and Knoxville rail
road, in which Mr.. Gambler holds
big interests, to Knoxville, Tenn.
Mr.. Gambler told The Journal Fri
day afternoon that the plans are ul-
timately to extend the road clear to
Knoxville, but that the entire work
would not be done Immediately, on
account Of the heavy expense that
would be entailed.
They've surveyed for some ex-
TENSIONS - said he, and we expect
to carry the line to Knoxville as
rapidly as possible"
The extension will open up a
beautiful section through the noun
taius of western North Carolina and
east Tennessee. The plans contem-
plate a main line from Greenville
S. Co. to Knoxville, Tenn, and there
probably will be branch lines run
ming out to Asheyille and other
points.
The present line of the Greenville
and Knoxville road runs from Green
vile to River Falls, distance of a
little over z miles. Connections are
made with the Southern Railway at
River Falls.
The route over which the extern
sion OF the road has been surveyed
calls for many tunnels, since it lies
through mountainous section, thus
making the construction work ex-
4ceeding expensive.
The president OF the road is W. Il
Patterson, OF Atlanta. J. S. Owens
is vice president and Asa G. Cand
Ter, jr, is secretary.

CONGRESSMAN WEBB EX-
FLAINS THE WEBB BILL

Hon. E. Y. Webb, the author of
the measure, ought to know what
the Webb bill means. He has given
out an interview in which he gives
it an Interpretation similar to the
lay views expressed by this paper,
which were reached after talking
with able lawyers about it. He says
that the bill shipment in interstate
commerce of any liquor which is
intended by any person interested
in it to be used in violation OF the
law of the state into which it is
shipped. In other words, this bill
conforms it's prohibition to the laws
of the various states. For instance.
should North Carolina pass a law
prohibiting any person or corpora
ton from delivering liquor to min
or, an habitual drunkard, Or to a
porson who had heretofore been
convicted of selling, then the Ship
ment of whiskey to be delivered to
such persons would be prohibited,
and when such whiskey arrived
within the state it could be seized
/ by state authorities and, under prop
er S eizure laws, could be confiscat
ed. Should a consignment OF IL
auor containing 500 half-pint bottles
5 be delivered to an office within a
state, addressed to a known bind
tiger, and though every civil c'G1er
should be morally certain that Sncn
whiskey was intended 20 be useG IN
q violation of the law OF the state, yet
K under the present condition OF the
v law no officer could touch such
o whiskey until after it was actually
r delivered to the law viOlatOr. TIA
