TARIFF ON SUGAR WILL WORK HARM Importer Presents Plea for Cuba? Acute Crisis Now Washington, Jan. 20.?Opposi tion to any increase !n the tariff on I together with a plea for lenient I sugar together with a plea for leni ent treatment for Cuban sugar, was I presented by Edward P. Atkins, "of Rnstnn. a manufacturer and im i porter of Cuban sugar, today to the I house ^ays and j^neans committee which is considering revision of the permanent tariff. The sugar industry is passing throuhg an acute crisis, Mr. Atkins | informed the committee, adding "that iour present sugar tariff : schedule has proved 'sufficient to I protect our domestic sugar industry is shown by the very satisfactory ' earnings of the beet Sugar industry, as well as the Hawaiian and Puerto | Rican estates." Mr Atkins t.Viat the si.ti'l- i ation now confronting the sugar in dustryNwas the result of "the mis jStc turday, Jan: 22 d Boys' Suits 'ork Shirts, a AT I TS BOYS' SI $37.50 $22.50 Suits .. $30.00 $20.00 Suits .. $25.00 $15.00 Suits .. $20.00 $10.00 Suits .. s are for SPOT hirts MEN'S Hi $3.00 $12.50 Hats.... $2.50 $10.00 Hats.... $2.25 $ 9.00Hats.... ...$1.75 $ 4.00 Hats ....

He estimated that the United States entered the present y?ar wirth sur plus or carry over of sugar amount ing to 1,000,000 tons. Prices for Cuban sugar, Mr. At kins said, now are below the aver age cost of production. "Cuba is in no position," he con tinued, "to stand any increase in du ties against her sugars in this coun try and the result of such an in crease would be disastrous to her, as she will have to sell her forthcom ing crop in competition with free domestic sugars. If in addition to paying increased duties she loses the advantage of buying her supplies, particularly foodstuffs, in this coun try under the reciprocity rates, it would be an added affliction, for her labor can not materially ?ome down until the cost of living is reduced to her laborers." The committee completed its hear ings on the sugar schedule today and tomorrow will begin the hearing of views of. those interested in the tobacco schedule. 'More pounds of potatoes are raised than of any other food crop in exist ence. NOTICE OF SETTLEMENT State of South Carolina, County of Abbeville.
