May Not Put Tax on Copper.

The Senate finance committee is Sc
riousIy considering amendment of the
administration revenue bill to suspend
operation for the proposed protective
tariff on dyestuffs until the close of the
European war. The purpose of the tar
if is to build up an American dyestuff
industry, and it has been urged before
the committee that the war, by virtually
cutting off importations, is providing
sufficient protection for the present to
American dye manufacturers.
The proposed revenue tax on NUM-
tions of war was discussed again by a sub
committee of which Senator Stone is
chairman, but no conclusions were
reached. Serious opposition has devel-
oped from many sources to the proposed
tax on production OF copper for export,
and it may be eliminated.

Pleads for Small State Banks.

Representative Kitchin, Democratic
leader of the House protested yester-
day to Postmaster General Burleson and
the federal reserve board against Mr.
Burlesons recent order directing post
masters in small towns TO collect checks
without exchange charges from state
banks not members of the reserve sys-
tenn.
Mr.. Kitchin said the order would cut
off most of the profits of 5000 small
state banks which are not in and cannot
enter the reserve system. "If the order
stands" he declared, North Carolina
will go Republican by $4,000"
Mr.. Burleson's order was suggested by
Secretary MeAdoo and based on reserve
board resolution. 1t provides for check
collection from non member banks in
communities where there is no member
to perform the service and was designed
to perfect the universal check clearing
system recently inauguated by the re-
serve board.

In some manner his neck was brok-

horse had been one of the best of
his race,and was game and plucky to
the last. Mr.. Schaub, the drayman,
says he was the best horse he had.
Although blind and lame he kept his
single-tree up even and little ahead
of his mate, it made no difference
what horse his mate happened to be.
His high life and ambition kept him
lean in flesh, and his blindness sub
lected him to falls and bruises, SO
that his condition excited the pity
of all humane people.
He served well, and it is GER

IMPORTANT NOTICE.

Any special width of public road
less than 30 feet, must be sustained
by the county records, otherwise the
width of the right of way of our coun-
ty roads, is not less than thirty feet.
Fences on this right Of way, un.
der our recently amended road law
are distractions, and as such are sub
Ject to removal or to be set back, un
der penalty, OH three days notice from
the County Road Department.
While very evident that such an ar
bitrary move would inflict considera-
BILE pecuniary loss and Inconvenience
upon our people, and might be from
many standpoints, most inadvisablc,
nevertheless it is not to be inferred
that the county through inactivity in
this respect, resigns the prerogativc
OF removing at any time any or all
fences obstructing the right of way.
l would earnestly request, there
fore, in order to meet the require
ments Of the law, as it behooves ev-
cry good citizen that you kindly coop
crate with your road department in
supporting the legal status by hereaf-
ter, and from this date, when con-
structing now fences or repairing and
replacing the old along the public
road, set the same on the line of
right of way. If in doubt as to said
line, advise the road department,
which will render immediate advice or
service.
All fences constructed or renewed
subsequent to this notice, when built
on the public right of way, will be re-
garded as distractions, and the prop
er action for the removal thereof will
be taken as the law directs.
