United States, and one of the chief
privileges and blessings of this land
of liberty, is about to have its throat

Congress. When this government
authorizes strikers to picket a, mans

suade workmen to quit their jobs, as
this bill proposes to do, then property
rights and property protection viii be
at low ebb.

ACCORDING TO E. }. JUSTICE,
RAILROADS FIGURES ARE
MISLEADING.
DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH
Doings and Happenings That Mark
the Progress of North Carolina 'Peo-
pie Gathered Around the State
Capitol.
Raleigh.

E. J. Justice, author of the Justice
freight rate act and now of the depart
ment of justice at Washington, was in
Raleigh recently in conference with
Governor Craig, Attorney General L.
w. Beckett and Messrs. Winston &
Biggs, counsel for the state, regard
ing preparations for the cross-examin-
alton of the railroad officials the lat
ter part of this month with view to
breaking down the force of the array
of figures presented by the railroad
companies on direct examination.
In the conference were also a num-
Der of freight rate experts whom the
state will use in the presentation of
evidence for the state and cross-exam-
lining the witnesses for the railroad
companies. These were President
Fred N. Tate of the Freight Rate Asso-
citation, High Point; J. G. Forester,
rate expert for the Greensboro board
Of trade; w. S. Creighton, expert for
the Charlotte board of trade, and T.
]. Ryan, expert for the North Carolina
Furniture Manufacturers Association,
High Point.
The whole scope of the rate situa-
rion and the evidence that has been
presented by the railroad companies
were considered, and a general line
Of procedure agreed upon. These pros
pective witnesses for the state were
directed to work out figures that will
break down the position taken by the
railroad companies as to contractors
effect or injustice of the reduced rates
prescribed by the Justice act.
After the conference, Mr.. Justice
took occasion to say that he-regards
the figures presented by the railroad
companies as entirely and grossly
misleading and that he has pointed
out these fallacies to the counsel for
the state ana the experts, so that they
may WORK out the real facts that
should control the final taxing of the
rates. He says the railroad compa-
MES hav entirely too great a part Nof
the operating expenses of their lines
charged against the interstate freigh.
business and have their operating e.
penses placed whole lot too high
as we'll.
He remarked that if the intrastate
business for the other states served by
the Southern Railroad Company were
figured out on the same basis as that
applied in North Carolina, they would
represent fully 200 per cent of operat-
ing expenses of the whole system.
He insists that the counsel for the
state will have no trouble in breaking
down the figures the railroad compa-
MES have presented, and that the rea,
condolences of the rates prescribed
will be fully indicated.

TICK QUARANTINE RAISED
MORE TERRITORY is FREED FROM
CATTLE TICKS THROUGOUT
THE SOUTH.
Over $4,000 Additional Square Miles
in Eight Southern States to Be
Released From Quarantine.

Washington.-The territory IN the
South freed from cattle ticks and re-
leased from quarantine has been in
creased by 17,1O6 square miles by an
order issued by the acting secretary
Of agriculture, effective February 16,
1914, releasing additional portions of
Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee,
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Okla
homa and Texas. This action has been
taken as a result of further progress
made in the determination of the ticks
which spread splenetic or Texas fe-
yer of cattle. The total area released
since the beginning of the work in
1906 now aggregates 215,9O8 square
miles, and amounts to about 80 per
cent. of the territory infected at the
time the work was undertaken.
Tennessee is the first of the states
extensively infested by the ticks to
be entirely freed from this pest and
released from quarantine.
The portions of the several states
February 16 under the order mentioned
are as follows:
In Virginia: The county of Sussex
and the balance Of the county of
Greenesville.
In North Carolina: The counties of
Moore, Hoke, Scotland, Robson and
New Hanover.
In Georgia: The counties of Nor
gan and Franklin.
In Tennessee: The remainder of
Marion county.
In Alabama: Portions of the coun-
ties of Jackson and Sumter.
In Mississippi: The counties of
Clay, Jasper, Smith, Scott and Le-
fore, the remainder of the counties
of Lowndes, Holmes, Madison, Alfalfa,
Rankin, Noxubee, Chickasaw, and por-
tons of the counties of Claiborne, War
rem, Yazoo, Sharkey, Bolivar, Newton,
Grenada, Leake, Monroe, Jones and
| Lafayette.
In Oklahoma: The county of Cot
ton and the remainder of the counties
of Tillman, Grady, Craig and Ottawa,
and portions of the counties of Nc

Report of Fish Commission.

The report of Fish Commissioner J.
H. Leroy to the state geological board
made remarkable showing as to diff
ferences between the fisheries condi
lions in this state and Virginia.
In the first place, he showed that
the lack of law in this state against:
the Catching and marketing of under
size mullet is making possible terrible:
inroads on the mullet crop in this,
state. Of late shipments of understood
mullet to Norfolk and other Virginia
points have been condemned and the
fish not only stopped from being sold,
but actually confiscated and destroy
ed. Now the under-size fish are being,
marketed in this state.
1t is insisted that the catching and
sale of such small fish should be pro-
hibited in this state to assure their be-"
ing left in the water for further
growth.

OPPOSES FREE CANAL TOLLS

Question of Panama Canal Tolls Is
Subject Discussed About Capt.
toll in Washington.

$Washington.-How to dispose of the
Panama canal tolls question was the
subject uppermost in discussion about
the capital when the attitude OF Pres
ident Wilson, outlined to the senate
foreign relations committee, became
public. The presidents position was
asserted to be that the provision OF
the Panama canal act granting toll
exemption to American vessels is In
violation of the Hay-Pauncefote trea-
ty, which proclaims that the canal
shall be free and open to all nations
ION terms of entire equality and
that Charges of traffic should be just
and equitable"
Three courses are open to congress.
Great Britain, which persistently has
opposed the toll exemption for Amerl-
can ships, has offered to arbitrate the
question as to it's being a violation OF
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. The ma
jority in congress, it is believed, oppos-
es this, maintaining that the United
States should settle the issue for itself.
Another course is to carry into effect a
resolution submitted by Representative
Adamson, which would suspend, for
two years, the operation of the pro-
vision exempting American ships from
the payment of tolls. Should this be
adopted, diplomatic negotiations could
continue in the meantime. The third
proposal is that congress repeal the
free toll provision.

ed under the Diaz regime will be
treated as counterfeit money after
February 10, under decree issued by
the rebel government. The free and
unlimited coinage of silver will be
offered as a means of providing ample
money.
The embargo against the old bank
currency, which is frowned on as a
survival of the cientifico days, when
the Creels and Terrazases were in
power, will render worthless in the
rebel territory millions of dollars in
paper money.
The offer of free coinage will be ex-
tended to all bullion owners, but it has
not been indicated to what extent the
offer will be accepted. The rebel gov
eminent already is in possession of
much bullion which will be coined to
enrich the treasury. It also was an

ing interest which controls industries

Investigating Railroad Sale.

Investigating Railroad Sale.
The work of taking testimony a,
to the receivership, sale and partition
of the old Cape Fear & Yadkin Vale,
Railroad when it was divided between
the Southern and Atlantic Coast Line
i 1884 was resumed by the CORPORA.
ton commission recently, J. w. Fry Of
Greensboro and w. T. Kyle, now Of
the traffic department of the Norfolk
Southern, being the witnesses ex.
amined.
The state was represented by A. /
Brooks of Greensboro as counsel and
the railroad companies by Assistant
General Counsel George Elliott, of tho
Atlantic Coast Line.
The hearing was continuation OF
the session some weeks ago when,
Harry Walters, chairman of the board
of directors of the Atlantic Coast Line
and a number of officials of both the
Coast Line and the Southern testified
as to the circumstances of the pur.
chase of the road by the two roads
and it's partition between them.
A special feature of the testimony Of
both Mr.. Fry and Mr.. Kyle was that
about two years before the receiver.
ship of the Cape Fear and Yadkin VAL
ley, of which they were respectively
general manager and general traffic;
manager, there were Overtures from,
the Norfolk & Western for the con.
struction of connecting link between
the c. F. & Y. V. at Mount Airy and
the Norfolk &, Western at the most &C.
cessible point in Virginia, and that
some part of such a link was actually
graded, but never ironed.
Furthermore, they stated, that when
the Norfolk & Western later purchas-
ed the Roanoke e Southern, Roanoke
to Winston-Salem, this plan for the
Mount Airy extension was abandoned,
the newly acquired line giving inter.
section with the Cape Fear & Yad'
kin Valley at Rural Hall. Then there
were overtures of traffic arrangements
between the two roads and the officers
of the G. F. & Y. V. were invited to-
New York for meeting to work out
traffic arrangements that would make

point for freight rates much on the Or
der of, if not quite SO low, as thoss

was never held and the Cape Fear

GREAT SHORTAGE
IN MEAT SUPPLY
DECREASE OF 100000 IN THE
MEAT ANIMALS IN THE
UNITED STATES.
COMPARISONS ARE MADE
Amazing Drop Since 1910 Reported
by the Department OF
Agriculture.

Washington.-Short of meat AMI
mails in the United States was strik-
ingly demonstrated by comparative
figures made public by the department
of agriculture. The report showed
that there are nine Tess beef cattle,
seven less sheep and three less hogs
now for each 100 persons in the coun-
try than there were in 1910. This
means that it would take 18,259,OOO
more cattle, sheep and swine to give
the present population the same sup
ply that the census of 1910 showed to
exist
While the population of the country
is estimated to have increased from
91,972,OOO to 9S,646,OOO in the past
three years, the number of beef cattle
has decreased 1923 per cent, and of
sheep So per cent The number of
swine increased slightly, 1.3 per cent,
but it did not keep up with the proper
tional growth of population.
"This increase in value, however"
the department. pointed out, "does not
necessarily mean that farmers or stock
raisers are making more, if any, profit.
On the contrary, the cost of produc-
ton has probably increased more rap
idly than the increase in the selling
price of livestock. Producers of farm
products are the last to receive any
benefit from higher prices paid by con-
sumers, yet they are among the first
to increase production if there is a
prospect of realizing better returns.
1.-THE very fact that there is pres
ent shortage of nearly 100000 meat
animals in the United States since the
census of 1910, indicates clearly that
the business is not profitable to pro-
ducers.
1.-THE scarcity of meat animals is at
tributed by department experts to the
encroachment of farms upon range ter
ritcry, lack of a proper range leasing
laws, shortage in the corn and forage
crop in Kansas, Nebraska and Okla
homa, increase in the value of land
and higher cost of labor and stock
feed; decline in stock raising on farms
in the East and South because of poor
marketing facilities, the temptation to
sell livestock at prevailing high prices
and enormous losses from hog chol-
era"
