DODG|NC THE TARIFF.
English Merchante Sell Foreign Made
Goods Under British Label.

Dunedin. N. T.. May New Zea-
land has begun a vigorous campaign
against the practice Of certain British
exporters of sending foreign goods to
this country under English labels.
The charge is made that British mer-
chants buy large quantities OF cheap
foreign goods and ship them to New
Zealand and other colonies as British
manufacturers.
Minister Of Customs Fisher. In . re-
cent speech said that he had positive
proof that foreign goods were import
ed into England and repacked and
shipped as British merchandise, to
evade the extra duty that New Zea-
land places on all foreign manufacture
ers. New Zealand wished to purchase
British goods, according to the min
lister. rather than foreign merchandise.
and he pledged himself to do every
thing in his power to prevent the I'M
scrupulous British merchant from
cheating the colonial public.
1t Is said that this form Of contra
band trade is especially rife among
exporters Of textile goods. Many of
the shipments which arrive ostensibly
from Lancashire never saw the inside
OF the mills there, but have been so
remarked and repacked that
the fraud might never be detected un-
less they should fall into the hands Of
experts. who know the English weave.

There are 1000 barmaids in England

has been accomplished. One reason is
that tho saloon is the working mans
club. and he prefers those places
where he can gossip with the girls.
On the whole the influence of bar
maids is to raise the atmosphere of
saloons. but the influence of the sa-
looms upon the women is considered
bad.
The barmaid soon grows DID," says
the report. sometimes she is old at
rs; she Is generally too old at thirty
Her chances of marriage are small un-
less she marries the barman or the
manager, and almost the only recourse
left to her is the streets. The number
of women on the London streets who
have Cnce been barmaiis is out If all
proportion to the total numbers in
the trade"
She Is Cheaper.
Mrs. Drake writes sympathetically
of the women behind the bars. She
Gays:
THE barmaid is cheaper than the
barman. She Is more industrious.
more sober, more amenable to the
wishes of her employer, less rebellious
against the hard conditions Of public
house life.
There are women, women OF fine
character, who earn in the bar q de-
cent and respectable living, and are
not unhappy. There is even a woman
of robust health and temperament
who finds in the public-house a GER
tain vocation. The bar is to other
women immediate ruin. .1
But all these are exceptions. The
barmaid who Is Of the majority. al
though she loses nothing of self re-
spect, yet continues at her post only
in WEAKNESS and loathing. and with q
great fear in her heart of that which
the future is to bring"
Wages for barmaids are no more
than domestic servants command in
the United States and the average
working day is fourteen hours. In
houses patronized by workingmen the
average pay is $3.50 to 50 a week; in
hotels 1t may rise to $3.50, and for a
head barmaid to $3.50 or even IS.

busily engaged in removing the dirt
out Of the channel itself while far up
the side of the slide other hydraulic
operations are tearing at the very
heart of the hill.
Within a short time two new large
dipper dredges will be engaged. These
are the largest yet built Of this type.

An Illuminating Address

We take pleasure in publishing
in this issue, at the request Of
the North Carolina Press AS.
ISOLATION, the very fine address
of Mr.. Bion H. Butler, before
the North Carolina Press AS.
ISOLATION in Wrightsville, June
oath.
This article is not only admira
bly, we'll written, it is absolutely
true, and should prove good
reading for every patriotic NORTH
Carolinian. If it could be publish
ed broadcast over the Unite(
States much good to North Caro-.
lima would result.
We concur heartily with Mr..
Butler in his opinion of NORTH
Carolina and go even farther by
stating that we live in the bes
section of the best state in the
Union. We use the word best
from the standpoint Of Mr.
Buffers article: i.e., possessed
of more natural advantages II
the way of climate, rainfall, sol
and water power.
What Mr.. Butler has to sa,
Roanoke Rapids herald. [volume] (Roanoke Rapids, N.C.) 1914-192?, 1914-07-17

about equality of climate for
North Carolina is true of this
section in more marked degree
than any other section of the
State. The rainfall is as good, if
not better than, any other Sec
ton, the soil is capable of being
developed to a degree of fertility
surpassed by no other section.
The water power of Roanoke is
greater than that of any other
river in the State.
We are behind Mr.. Buffers
"sand-hills" and badly behind
in one respect. We do not aduer-
tise.

Commissioner of Labor and
Printing, M. L. Shipman, is be-
ing baited by the Greensboro
Daily News, which appears to
have very little veneration for a
member of the inner circle"
Mr.. Shipman is just a little old
fashioned in his views and oppos-
ed to reform as a matter OF prin-
ciple. At Wrightsville, Mr..
Shipman cast the only vote cast
against the resolution endorsing
the constitutional amendments.
When the old idea" has worked
down to the point where Ship
man is its sole representative, il
can fairly be said to be out OF
the system as far as the State
Press is concerned.

Now they make three times that
value. Factories are spring
up to build tn e
widest variety of products.
The factories are diversified to
scores of different lines. They
will diversity more because they
have the power. In a dozen
years the development of water
power in North Carolina has
been one of the marvels of the
industrial world. What is ahead
nobody can guess, but almost
any guess seems safe enough.
The State is gridroned with pow
err wires now mad in that respect
has no peer on the globe.
Ours is one State that is self
contained and self-providing. 1t
has the farms on which to feed
the people, the factories in
which to employ them, the pow
err to run the mills, the yearly
crop of raw material for the fac
tory the river and sea to carry the
freight TO market, the railroads
in all directions, besides the sur
plus of product eagerly sought
by other States.
Rising in the highest noun
tains east of the Rockies, North
Carolina rivers have more fall
to the sea, a greater distance to
the sea, a greater annual rainfall
tocary down, and a greater area
to drain water from than any
other State of the East. How
much power that means is pure
guess. 1t is a limit we cannot
overtake for years. We have no
idea of the limit of our ability to
produce cotton for the ever
growing North, or Of anything.
We have no idea where we are
going, but we are headed some
where, and are running away on
half a dozen roads at one time.
1t is no use for me to point out
to you the opportunities of North
Carolina. Five thousand people
could find opportunity in Jones
County to go to raising cotton.
As many more could go to the
mountains to raise cattle. AS
many more could 60 to Guiltord
