added a rider thereto providing for
refining of sugar in bond. This is
much needed legislation. and eonsid-
cradle benefit to the refining indus
| try would accrue by it's passage and
enactment into law, especially in the
export field.
The sugar refining industry has had
a great opportunity as regards the ex-
port business under the past two and
half years of European war condi-
lions. Shipments have been made to
markets never known to us at all be-
fore. and this legislation will, IL en-
acted, do much to assist our refiners
to hold these newly acquired custom
ers against foreign competition in the
reconstruction period after the ending
of the war. Refining in bond has
been the custom for many years and
is now general in all European coun-
tries.

AT the same time, as some of the
smalleE and older factories win have
finished before some of the new ones
are completed sufficiently to begin
their initial grinding season. The
weather during the first part of the
week was reported favorable, while
later on it was indicated as unsettled.
The crop is making slow start.
Visible production to February 10th

the figures to corresponding date of
last year, which is 726.S16 tons; the
1915 figures are 472,848 tons. The

after April, 1916, and it is reasonable
To expect that with the prevalence OF
weather that will allow a continuance
OF grinding, the present crop will show
an increased production during the
months of May and June, with in.
creases also in the amount of sugars
that may appear at shipping ports in
later months. Stocks in the Island are
increasing, as receipts at shipping
ports far exceed exports, which are
only OF sufficient size to cover refiners'
normal needs, the same, as last year.
Reports from Cuba regarding the crop

the receipts at the shipping ports do,

seems to us that it is too early to
justify an opinion regarding the final
outturn.

NEW. YORK, MY. Feb. 1.-The
market last week was under the in
fluenca of political conditions caused
by the severance of diplomatic rela-
tons between the United States and
Germany. Market quotations were
nominal at the time at 1850, but sell
lers were either holding for much
higher prices or else Withdrawn en-
tirely. e..
This week conditions in Cuba have
been the influence affecting ihe mar
ket. Reports from this country stated
that several uprisings of revolution
airy nature had occurred, and these
reports were sufficient to cause an
exciting and advancing market OPP
tions on the Sugar Exchange were
rapidly bid up until 4.45c was bid for
February and 4.44c for March on
Tuesday. On Wednesday a still
further advance was established on
the Exchange to 4.59c bid for Febru-
airy and 4,54c bid for March. With
these prices obtainable for sugar in

rules. holders OF sugar in Cuba re-
fused to sell at less figure than
4 S-Sc c. and I. (5.39cl to 41-2c c. and

Refiners were not participants in
the upward movement during the
greater part of the week, but were
satisfied to look on awaiting develop.

LEN|ENCY PERIOD
HAS COME TO END
BAKER ASKS GOVERNOR TO EN-.
FORCE PENAL CLAUSE OF
DRAFT LAW.
ONE YEAR IN PEN|TENT|ARY
Those Who Enrolled Between June
5 and June II Won't Be Prosecuted.
Draft Of Registrations Is Almost
Completed.

Washlngton.-Th period Of leniency
ended June II for men between the
ages of twenty-one and thirty, inclu.
sive, who failed to register for the
war army June 3.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
sent to the governors of all the states
message asking them ITO inaugurate
from June IL vigorous, aggressive
and effective enforcement of the penal
clause of the selective service law
against all who have by their failure
to register brought themselves under
those provisions"
The penalty for failure to register
on June is Imprisonment for year
and enforced registration, but General
Crowder, Immediately after registra-
ton day, recommended that local
boards provide further opportunity for
delinquents. The department of JUS
tice notified United States attorneys
to release those already arrested for
failure to register, providing they
have now registered.
General Crowder has almost COM
pleted a draft of registrations to gov.
ern exemptions and exemption boards,
and expects to lay 1t before Secretary
Baker In few days for approval.
The general believes no class should
be exempted as such, but that local
boards should decide on the circum.
stances in each individual case.
He fayors use Of some device such
as a jury wheel for drawing the names
of those to be examined by the ex-
emption boards, The registrations
will be made public after Secretary
Baker and President Wilson approve
them.
General Crowder's message to gov
errors said
Quotas are to be assigned to the
several states in proportion 10 the
population as determined by the bu-
reau Of the census and not in proper
tion to the registration. The result is
that every person who has failed to
register is seriously increasing the
burden OF those who have registered.
1T is requested that every effort be
now made TO detect and arrest persons
subject TO registration who have not
registered and to bring each promptly
to the attention Of the nearest repre-
sentative Of the department of JUS.
tiee Care should be taken that the
lists prescribed in paragraph thirty
nine men registered are promptly
posted and all registrants should be
asked to assist in bringing non-regis
rants to the attention of the police.
In case Of doubt rs to the age OF
persons who have not registered. the
abulated records of political organi-
cations and other local records should
De consulted and data may be obtained
rom the bureau OF the census"

Of the fourth OF July in North Caro-

lowing statement:
independence Day in this, the most
momentous year in American history
is day which each loyal citizen feels
should be given every show OF patriot
ism and all demonstration Of loyalty TO
the nation At time when the
United States has been drawn into the
greatest war Of all time to make the
world safe for Democracy 1t is but
fitting that all the citizens of the first
and greatest Democracy of the world
should observe its natal day in
proper manner. Flay exercises, pa
triotic gatherings. religious ceremo-

those entrusted with leadership are
but fitting and proper modes Of ex-

which her banners are unfurled and to
which her sons are consecrated.
America today is not the America
Of 1898 or even the America of 1916.
Her patriotism of 1917 while not one
whit less ardent than in the former
years, IS a conservative patriotism.
Every energy of officials In all gov.
ernmental departments Is being ex-
pended toward conservation Conser-
walton OF food. Of money. Of health and
of life.
North Carolina will do her part in
observing Independence Day, July 4,
but let US hope it shall be for once
said that this state paid a glorious tri.
butte on the nations birthday without
the use Of a bit OF fireworks Let Us
hope that it will he Z noiseless and a
freless Fourth of July
1T has been rep atedly suggested
that the use of fireworks at this time
might work a great deal Of harm to
the country No one can doubt ii who
has kept track of the Fourth of July
bonGres and mortality lists during
past years. The danger this year is
multiplied many times An apparent
ly harmless display Of fireworks at
this time might set fire TO store of
combustihles or even worse to store
OF foodstuffs.
THE time to check certain evils IS
before they have even time to take
shape. The time is now for North
Carolina to see that this years is a
freless fourth We sincelely hope and
trust here in North Carolina that there
are no resident traitors, but II there
should be an apparently harmless dis
play Of fireworks gives that traitor an
opportunity to set fire to property with
the chance Of not being detected.
Let the people reserve all gun
powder and explosives for use in legi-
innate warfare and cut their use In
any way whatever as symbols of pa.
triotism on the Fourth OF July"
