LUMBER HEARING
COMES TO CLOSE

practical to make a classification
/ which would result in wide differen-
tiation of the products Of sawmills and
planning mills connected herewith.
In strong contrast with the har-
monous and concerted action Of the
lumber manufacturers, we're the con-
tentions set up by the railroads. The
representatives Of the western trans
continental lines fully endorsed the
position of the lumbcrmen with re-
spect to a broad classification, while
the southern and central lines con
tended that a basis consisting Of pres
ent lumber rates should apply on
rough lumber, logs, posts, poles and
other rough material; that lumber
rates plus five per cent should apply
on dressed lumber of a certain class;
that a further manufactured class
should take ten per cent higher rate
than rough lumber, while a twenty
per cent differential should be placed
upon still another group with many
articles removed entirely from the
lumber lists, and rates thereon made
without any reference TO the lumber
rates In support Of this classified
ton, however, the representatives Of
the southern carriers met with many
difficulties.
Great Fairness.
Commissioner Meyer handled the
hearing with great fairness and ex-
petition, and at the close asked that
briefs by counsel be submitted on or
before November /, 1916 1t is cy-
pected that oral arguments will be
called soon after December !, and that
the commission will announce its find
ings at as early a date as practicable
This is the most important traffic
case that has ever come before the
entire lumber industry Of the United
States.
George y. Breeze, of Charleston, W.
Va, president Of the Grayling Lumber
Company, in testifying before the com
mission, said that II the commission
grants uniform classification Of rail-
road rates, forty-fyC per cent OF the
vast resulting from the manufacture
Of logs into lumber and mill products
can be eliminated. Other witnesses
testified that fifty per cent of the log
is wasted in cutting the log into lum-
/ Der.
although | have been able to reduce
the customary wastage from fifty to
five per cent, it is only as a result Of
the existence Of lower rate on lum-
Der in my state" said Mr.. Breeze,
after the lumber is cut from the log
I transform the material which is left
into variety Of small articles, such
as chair rungs and sticks, arm rests,
handles for various things and candle
sticks, and by this manufacture,
utilize considerable amount Of small
pieces which otherwise would be OF
no use.
Uniform Rate Desired.
"The establishment of uniform
rate on lumber which would include
such small articles as could he manu-
featured from the leftover portion Of
the log would mean that every mill
in the country could do as | have done.
This assists materially in the gov
! orprnont's efforts 10 conserve tho tim

LET THE EXODUS CONTINUE

LET THE EXODUS CONTINUE
The time of migration is on, the
demand and attractions are too great.
Northern capital needs the labor. High
wages and promises of better condi-
tions of labor are the attractions, too
bad. Why should men in a civilized
Christian country be obliged to leave
the home of their birth, except as in
divlduals, enjoying the right to go
anywhere on the face of the earth?
But since our people of the South are
forced to come North and West, it
will give them an opportunity to brand
as lie, that it is their Savage"
habit that brings upon them hatred
and wrath of the dormant people:
that they are deprived of civil rights
and help them, and see that they are
not worthy to be granted them; that
to permit them to enjoy the rights of
citizenship, would bring disaster upon
the fair southland. This is their OPP
portunity to give a practical answer
to the wicked and damaging state
mentS that are continually being made
in the North and West, in private
conversation, in newspapers and mag
azines. and such despicable plays as
The Birth of Nation This prop
uganda has gone on in the United
States, aud in Europe, until the chill
of unfriendliness is felt in many
places where years ago the most cor
dial feeling existed
LET THE EXODUS CONTINUE.
Let TENN come. and let their brethren
and kindred welcome them, encourage
and help them, and Sc that they are
not exploited while becoming aceus-
toned to their new surrounding. The
Negro can live IN the Northern as
we'll as in the Southern climate. The
Negro was side by iSde with the
white man to the North Pole The in
vention of the cotton gin made the
South q slave market, hut the prog
ross Of civilization put slavery out Of
business, and the inhabitable world
again opens its doors to all mankind
to live and move and nave their being
whore inclination points, and fortune
rewards.
The Blade trusts that the exodus
will continue and that by so doing
it will cause the Negro TO come into
/ his own.

They tell US that these are good
times, that prosperity is at the door
and that happiness and contentment
should be in the land. This reminds
us that talk is cheap, chickens are
high, and turkeys are flying above
the tops Of church steeples out of
every poor mans reach.
Some colored folks marry in order
to have home, and after they marry,
find out that they haven't any home.
Then there is trouble.
One-half Of the time of some people
is utilized in finding out just who have
money, and the other half is spent
in devising plans to relieve them of
the money they have.
Colored folks who want to marry
should do so, and colored folks who
want divorce should not be permitted
to have them Look before you leap"
is a good rule Who ever heard talk
of a pesron being able to leap back
to a high cliff after he had taken the
long leap. Look before you leap.

Jewish Community of Dublin,
Ireland.

In Dublin, the Irish capital. which
has been the center of the worlds
interest during the past two weeks,
there is a Jewish population Of near
ly 5000 souls. There is no real
"ghetto,' but the Jews are scattered
all over the city. The Jewish COM
munity has several ]. P.'s, the most
prominent Of whom is Mr.. NJ. E. Sol
onions. formerly Consul General for
Austria-Hungary. There is Jew,
Mr.. Isaacs, on the city council. The
Jews have one large synagogue, on
Adelaide road near Lesson street.
There is also a Jewish Board Of
Guardians, Zionist and literary socie-
ties and various Chevrahs. Nearly
all the Jews of Ireland, numbering
about 5000, come from Russia. Most
Of the Dublin Jews are strictly OBJ
servant and the Sabbath is generally
kept holy.

Russian Jews Not Molested in
England.

After great deal OF trouble, the
London Jewish Board of Deputies
succeeded in obtaining the conces-
sion of the British government not
to modest Russian Jews who reside
in districts where foreigners are not
permitted, even if they cannot estab-
fish their Russian utilization through
documentary evidence. AS was pre-
viously announced, all foreigners
were to be expelled from certain dis
tricts, especially from New Castle.
and this threatened the extinction Of
several Jewish communities, consist
ing mainly of Russian Jews who
have not yet become naturalized
British subjects. Recently there was
even brought in the House of Lords
bill declaring London itself as one
of the districts where no foreig ners
should be permitted to reside, but
this has fortunately not become
law 1t was also rumored last week
that an agreement has been estab-
lished between France and Russia
by which all Russian Jews Of mill
tary age should be transported back
to Russia.
The London County Council also
decided not to expel those Russian
Jews who are students at the various
colleges in London if they shall be
graduated within one year, while the
original law expelling such Jews af-
fected only handful of Jews, Rus
sian subjects, who are students at

EVERYBODY NEEDS
PURE, RICH BLOOD

Pure blood enables the stomach,
liver and other digestive organs to do
their work properly. Without it they
are sluggish, there is loss of appetite,
sometimes faintness, deranged state
of the intestines, and, in general, all
the symptoms of dyspepsia.
Pure blood is required by every
organ of the body for the proper per-
formanee Of its functions.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes pure
blood, and this is why it is so sue
eessful in the treatment Of so many
diseases and ailments. Its acts di-
rectly on the blood, ridding it of
scrofulous and other humors. 1t is
a peculiar combination of blood-puri-
flying, nerve-toning, strengthening
substances. Get it today.
