Head Of Tanners Protests.

John w. Wilder. president of the Ma
tional Association of Tanners. who is
attending the conference, declared yes
terday:
"A great many manufacturers and
producers have taken seriously the state
nent that has gone out from Washington
that there is no use in protesting, and
many industries are preparing to take
their medicine. bitter as 1t may be, and
it is even reported from the Middle West
that a large shoe manufacturer Is nego-
tiating for the establishment of a shoe
factory in Germany, so as to be able to
have the advantage OF the cheap labor.
This is only one instance.
"It would seem, however. in view OF the
action of President Wilson, in requesting
the Secretary of Commerce and Labor to
institute certain Investigations as to the
effect the proposed bill will have on
certain industries, that the manufactur-
ers and producers of the country still
have a chance to secure fair treatment.
There are also other indications that the
Senate will not as readily as has been
supposed, comply with the demands OF
the more radical leaders and push the
bill through as it comes from the House,
without any changes
Para graph A of the Underwood bill
specifically states that the President is
authorized and empowered to negotiate
trade agreements with foreign nations.
wherein mutual concessions are made
looking toward freer trade relations and
and commerce. The manufacturers con-
tend that if the President is given pow
er to negotiate concessions he also should
be given power to negotiate an increase
when the situation demands it,"
It is expected that the deliberations of
the conference will be extended for some
time number of other large manu-
facturers besides those who are already
in the city have signified their inten-
tions of participating in the conference,
and are expected to arrive daily. Among
those attending the conference are ].

GLOOMY future
IS PROPHECIED
Manufacturers Say the Tariff
Measure Means Closed
Factories.
MAY HALT DEVELOPMENT
Want Wilson to Be Given Power to
Negotiate Tariff Increases
at Any Time.

Abandoned Factories and thousands OF
men out of employment was the pre-
diction yesterday made of the future of
this country under the operation of the
Underwood tariff bill, at a conference OF
manufacturers and producers in various
lines which is being held at the Raj
eigh.
The conference was called by the llli-
nois Manufacturers Association for the
purpose of devising means for urging
upon Congress that the tariff bill now
pending should be phrased so as to give
President Wilson power to negotiate
tariff increases If he finds that the work.
ing of the tariff law require them in the
interest of the country.
Resolutions to this effect, and design
ed to open the gates of the American
markets to foreign products only in SO
far as this country will be benefited.
were unanimously adopted and copies Of
them ordered sent to President Wilson
and to Congress. The resolutions also
opposed the free admissions into this
country OF products from countries
which discriminate against TIE Ameri-
can manufacturer and producer.
Those assembled here declare indus
trial development will be paralyzed by
the new tariff bill A. P. Walker. repre-
senting the milling interest. in state
ment given out yesterday, declared that
the American farmer will lose the sale
of 5O0,0O00o0 bushels of wheat annually
under the proposed tariff bill
IF the bill is passed in its present
FORM" declared Mr.. Walker, Canada,
with her numerous well-equipped mills,
will at once remove her duty on United
States milled f1ours, and the milling in
dustry of this country will be wiped out
OF existence"
THE object of the proposed bill is to
reduce the price of bread stuffs by ad-
hitting -four free and to protect the
American farmer by imposing duty OF
10 cents a bushel on wheat. No such
result will be accomplished by this bill.
"A barrel of -four will make approx
mately 800 loaves of bread. Therefore. a
reduction of 45 cents a barrel in the
price of flour would mean a reduction OF
fourteen one hundredths of l cent or one
and four-tanths mills per loaf On the
contrary, this extremely minute reduc-
ton will invariably be absorbed by the
baker and retailer without reducing the
cost or benehting the ultimate con-
sumner"

The fame of Maury county products
of every character goes far beyond
the borders of the state. The Maury
county horse has startled the world
by his versatile speed qualities. The
Maury county Jersey cow Is the most
sought of any species Of the famous
breed of butter and milk producers.
Maury county and Columbia have for
many years been known the world
over as one of the principal Jack and
mule markets of the continent and
attract dealers from every section.
/ Maury county is also well known as
a corn growing section, and the ef-
forts of the corn clubs to increase the
yield and the quality of the corn rails
ed has begun to make the outsiders
take notice.
I AS evidence of this the secretary of
the Board Of Trade is in receipt of
letter from a farmer near Salem,
Ohio, asking for seed corn from Maui
ry county. His letter follows:
II am anxious to get in touch with
a successful corn grower in your Sec
ton and would thank you to hand
this letter to a farmer who grows

MANY LOCAL BILLS
NOW PENDING
PEOPLE ARE ANXIOUS FOR
ROAD, SCHOOL AND JURY ACTS
TO PASS.

More interest is taken by people
here in the local legislation that may
be enacted by the legislature now in
session, than Ia manifested in what
is done upon state affairs. There
are several important local measures
pending in the legislature that were
interrupted by the breaking of quo
rum. First and probably most i'm
portant is the county road law. This
act was passed in the house after the
quorum was broken but was vetoed
by the governor. 1t has been again
introduced in both houses and 1t is
hoped to pass it finally by Monday
Another bill vitality affecting the peo-
pie of the city and the county is the
enabling act to authorize the city or
Columbia to issue school bonds. This
bin was also vetoed by Gov. Hooper
because of the lack of a quorum In
the house when it was passed. An
other bill providing for a slightly
larger sum has been drafted by Judge
Erwin and it is hoped to get 1t
through without delay.
There are also pending the jury
commission bill and the bill to stop
appeals from the county to the cir
cult court If these measures can be
passed the path of the bottlegger will
be made much more difficult 1t is
believed that they are still on the cal
ander and can be passed at once
