STATEWIDE APPEAL
FOR FLOOD VICTIMS
Need Greatest in Ashe, Wilkes,
Allegheny and Watauga
Counties.

Charlotte.-That there is restitution
and need in certain flooded districts
of Western North Carolina, especially
in Ashe, Wilkes, Allegheny, Wa
tauga counties on the upper water of
the Catawba and Yadkin river valleys,
Is the information received and along
with the information comes the re-
quest for Outside aid. Governor Craig
has issued a proclamation appointing
a state committee to receive and ham
die funds for the relief of the flood
sufferers.
The need is said 10 be very great
and the situation is such that instant
action is imperative.
Where Need is Great.
In these mountain counties where
there are so many streams and where
the people made their homes for the
most part in the valleys, the destruc-
ton of property and the isolation of
communities has been much greater
than elsewhere. In many of these
localities the devastation is said to
have been on a parity with the Cataw-
ba valley in the actual path of the
flood. Fortunately for the lower
reaches of river, few people resided
on the banks of the stream and hence
escaped, but in the mountainous sec
lions conditions we're different.
Fortunately, the situation in the
other sections Of the Hooded territory
is being handled locally and there ap-
pears to be no need of outside aid
This applies to the French Broad val
ley, and the sections in and about Bat
Cave, Chimney Rock and other local
flies. There has been need but the
cases have been handled by people re-
siding near at hand who were not
seriously hurt by the flood. The fact
however that these sections lower
down the streams do not require out
side help should make it all the
more incumbent that responses for
aid for those higher up in the noun
tains should be instant and large.
The interurban and Seaboard Joint
ly have inaugurated their ferry SER
vice at Mount Holly.
Governor Craig made it plain that
all calls for aid in the French Broad
valley were met promptly and ade-
quately Monday and that all cases of
suffering were quickly relieved Hen
Jacksonville he stated came to the as
sistance of the aBt Cave sufferers
and is handling that situation.

,Ns,p,ous FREE TRADE LOBBY
Washington, April .2s-(special c

Washington, April .26-(Special Cor
respondence)-As might be expected,
in congress have been very
much embarrassed by recent disclos-
ures regarding the "slush fund" raised
by Italian lemon importers for the pur-
pose of influencing tariff legislation
lin this country in 1913.
At the very time when President
Wilson denounced as an "insidious lob
by" the business men Of the United
States who were in Washington en-
deavoring to prevent legislation for
the benefit Of foreign producers. the
lemon trust OF Italy was spending
|$14O,O for the purpose of destroying
the protective tariff on lemons to the
injury of lemon producers in Florida
and California. and for the benefit of
lemon producers in Italy. President
Wilson drove away from Washington
the business men who were advocating
..Amerca first" but he had nothing to
say in criticism of the men who were
spending money to promote Italy hrst.
The democratic congress passed and
President Wilson signed the legisla'
ton desired by the lemon producers
OF Italy and opposed by the lemon pro-
ducers of America. This legislation was
passed on the theory that 1t would give
the American consumer lemons at
lower price. 1t had no such effect. 1t
merely transferred large part OF the
market to Italy, while California lem
en- growers found it difficult to sell
their crop at living price. The mid
die man, who bought his lemons in
Italy, merely made larger profit and
retailed the lemons to the consumers
at the same old price.
The need of an import duty on lem
ons was demonstrated by Senator
Works, of California, in an address be-
fore the senate few days ago. Sen
|ator Works showed that even with the
republican tariff &c a pound, for
eign growers were able to compete
with American producers and the gov
eminent received a revenue OF about
81, 100000 a year. The Underwood law
reduced the duty to 1ac a pound, this
small measure OF protection probably
being retained because lemons are pro
duced in Florida, one of the states OF
the solid south.
When the democrats were about to
pass their bill retaining the duty on
sugar, which is largely a product OF
the gulf states, Senator Works moved
an amendment placing duty of 1c per
pound on lemons. He argued that lem
ons and sugar often go together and
this is time when they should not be
separated. Needless to say the demo,
Gratis defeated his amendment, but in
doing so they impressed more firmly
than ever upon the minds OF the Amer
lean people the fact that it was a for.
eign importing organization that Sc.
