A WHITE FIEND. / . Horrible Crime In Alken County? UM Assaulted by Unknown White Man. / I - Augusta, May Lula May Leo? pard. 9-year-old daughter of Mrs, Dolllver Leopard, of Langley, 8. C, was criminally assaulted this afternoon by an unknown white man and is in a critical condition. Her assailant es? caped and up to a late hour tonight had not been caught. Excitement was at fever pitch at Langley tonight. The woods around the village are literally swarming with crowds of srmed men. If the object of their search Is caught a lynching will follow, despite the fact that Sheriff Raborn was early on the scene and Is doing all he can to persuade the crowds to be satisfied with capturing the assailant. At a late hour scores of citizens and a number of officers are still scouring ths country, but no arrests have been made. About 4 o'clock this afternoon as the little girl wag returning home from school she was approached by the man.\ who told her he had lost four dollars and would give her half of it If she would assist him In his search. The child agreed, but later showed signs of fear and turned back, when the man seised her to force'her to accompany him. The girl made an attempt to call for help, but aer cap top tightened his grasp and choaked the little one Into insensibility. He drsgged her almost lifeless body to the edge of a swamp and there she was found some time afterwards. She bad been assaulted and the man had escaped. Tllfc. DISPENSARY CASE.

Ridicules Chart of Forestry Bureau Show inn How Ijoiik Wood Supply Will liUMt?Senator Smoot Defends Prediction of the Bureau. Washington, May 5.?On resuming consideration of the agricultural ap? propriation bill in the senate today Mr. Warner stated that having re? ceived a communication from the secretary of agriculture saying that he would be able to take care of a pure food law without an additional appropriation, he would not offer the amendments for that purpose, which he Intended. On a point of order by Senator Clark the amendment au? thorizing the secretary of agriculture to inform owners of the wood lands as to their proper care was stricken from the bill. Suggesting an amendment except? ing Idaho from the States from which the secretary of agriculture may give permits for the exportation of tim? ber from forests reserves Senator Heyburn ridiculed a chart from the forestry department, which was swung on the wall of the senate cham? ber marked with statements, as to the number of years the forests in various parts of the country would last. The forestry division, he said, was launching into the realm of pro? phecy in a way that required greater wisdom than that possessed by the sages of old, when it declared that a section would be shorn of its forests in 20, 30 or 40 years. They forget, he said, that timber grows, and he declared that "the supply of timber Is as great today as ever In the world's history." There was, he said, no danger of a timber famine. I "I can prove," retorted Senator Smoot, "not by prophecy, but by ab? solute figures, that the timber of this country Is being destroyed rapidly, and there Is not anything like the amount of timber In this country that there was twenty or even ten years ago." Mr. Heyburn said he objected to the government setting up a lumber yard and selling timber in any State. Reading from a document concern- I lng the expenses of the forest re? serves he criticised the statement of expensee as Indefinite. \ Senator Smoot said If the senator I would mention an item of expense he j would give him the details. Senator Clark, of Wyoming, deClar- I ed that congress has sent forth that I Information and the department had I not sent It He wanted to know how the senator from Utah had become the mouthpiece of the department, and Mr. Heyburn added that it was singular that the senator from Utah had undertaken to answer questions for the department that congress fruitlessly asked the department to give. I Mr. Heyburn read the names of officers of the American Forestry As- j soclatlon, declaring that Mr. Wager-| houser, the second vice president, gowned or claimed more timber un? lawful! ly obtained than any other man on earth." Mr. Heyburn declared that It was dangerous about "this man's policy or that man't policy." "The policy of the country." he added, is the policy of the people as found In the written law of the land. When It is found anywhere else it is fictitious. The people put their poli? cies in the statute books. Yet we hear it talked that the administra? tion's policy Is here to stay. We will see whether It is here to stay or not." The senate adjourned with the ag? ricultural bill still Incomplete and the forest question undisposed of. j iH'tter to Sheriff Epperson. Sumter, S. C. Dear Sir: The hardest climate for paint Is Florida; and Devoe is the longest, wearing paint in that state. D. Q. Smith, of Madison, Fla., says: "I painted my mother's house Devoe 11 years ago, and today it looks bet? ter than other houses In town that were painted with other paints 3 or 4 years ago." Three or four and eleven. This shows two things: (1- the low standard of paint In that part of the country; and (2- that Devoe is the paint that wears. i It dosen't show the whole fact; which Is: Devoe is the paint that tukes least gallons to do the job, makes first cost by a ratio of _ to 3, 2 to 4. 2 to 6, 2 to 6. for the Job Smith wasn't thinking about the cost of the Job; It was done a long time ago.

Chairman Mann Shown Why the Newspapers Cannot Meet an ln Cffeeee in Expenditures. Washington, May 6.?The house committee imiuiring in the question of wood pulp and print paper heard I the statements of the publishers and managers of newspapers today, as to the increase in the price of print pa? per. They all told practically the i same story, that the price of paper had been raised from year to year and they practically were unanimous In asking for the passage of the Ste- I venson bill removing the duty on wood pulp and print paper. John Xorris, the representative of the American Xewspaper/Publlsh ers' association, informed the com? mittee that all the association asks of congress is the repal of the duty on mechanically ground wood pulp and on print paper valued at not over 2 cents? a pound. The question of the tariff on the finer grades of paper, he said, was not under consideration. "The reason congress should make exceptions for newspapers at this time," said Mr. Xorris, "is that f the price of newspaper is like the price of postage stamps?i-it is fixed and cannot be altered to suit the varying conditions of the market." Chairman Mann: "It does not make any difference about the 6-cent paper or the 3-cent paper, for that matter. The ordinary price being from 1 cent to 5 cents per copy, and the usual price being 1 cent to 2 cents, and I presume the most common price be? ing 1 cent, there is reo way of increas? ing, to a slight degree, or a small per? centage, the dally price of the paper; you cannot increase a 1-cent paper without making it a 2-cent paper as far as the street price is concerned. Of course you can make a distinction in the price it 1b sold to the newsboy or the price it is sold by the week, but as far as the street price is con? cerned there is no difference. There Is no amount between 1 cent and 2 cents; it is one or two. Hence, you cannot add the cost of the paper. Is that correct?" "That is correct," replied Mr. Xor? ris. We could not present a better statement than you have made for us." Newspapers Different. "Of course," continued Mr. Mann, "that is the side of the case as it seems to me; that may be, I do not say that it is. We may differentiate it from almost any other matter. We have had the boot and shoe proposi? tion up. The shoemakers want free hides, In the main, as I take it, be? cause a large number of them are selling a particular quality of shoe at an advertised price which they could not conveniently change, but here Is a case where the cost of the paper probably represents in the neighbor? hood of one-half the selling price of the paper; in some cases probably more than that, and some cases less, and where you cannot make a slight increase and where a considerable In? crease in cost is very difficult to meet in the increase of the selling price, thfjt is something which you claim differentiates the publication of the ordinary newspaper from any other line of production."! "Precisely," replied Mr. Xorris. a portion of Mr. Xorris* testimony which excited particular interest among the committee was that which related to the price of pulp wood sent from Canada. He declared that in? stead of there having been an in? crease in the prlcr, as had been claim? ed, there actually was a decrease, the price in 1905 having been $4.38 per ton as against $4.37 In 1907. Mr. Xorris pointed out that these figures were quite different from reports of $10 and $12 per cord for wood at Canadian points. Frederick M . Messier of the Ashe ville (X. C); Gazette-Xewa was one of the publishers who testified today. He stated that in 1905 his company had a contract for $2.02 per 100 pounds at the mills or $2.45 deliver? ed at the freight depot in Asheville. In 1906 the contract called for a price of $2.50 f. o. b. Asheville. In 1907 the Gazette-Xews made a contract to run from January 1. 1908. to January 1. 1909, for $3.00 f. o. b. or $2.57 at the mills. Mr. Messier said that the largest wood pulp mills in the United States had recently been established in Xorth Carolina. * "Do you think the mill will close if the tariff is taken off wood pulp?" inquired Mr. Sims. / "I think not," was the reply.

In reply to Senator Heyburn's attack upon the forestry policy of the administration Senator Depew today in the Senate spoke in defense of forestry reserves and the reforestation of denuded j lands. Only the other day, he said, New York State received 1,000,006 trees from Germany for sue in reforesting: the Adirondack*. He commended! the aeji"ii of President Cleveland in inaugurating the system of forest re? serves by setting aside 20,000,000 acres, which was increased to 40, 000,000 under President McKinley and is now 150,000,000 acres. The damage he said, done by cutting down the forests of the Adirondack? was enormous and every spring the news? papers tell of disastrous floods in six States, whose streams are fed from the waterhed. The damage done to the streams by deforestation, he said, to a great extent had offset the good achieved by river and Ifcrbor im? provements. Mr. Teller said the work of New York in reforestation was the kind he approved. He objected to having; the general government go into that business. He objected to the voting of a lump sum of $500,000 for the forestry division. Mr. Aldrich interrupted to say that the last agricultural appropriation bill called for "classified and detail? ed estimates" for 'the forestry divi? sion. , "I have not," he said, "been able to discover that any' such estimates have been submitted to Congress. They are not in the book of estl. mates." Mr. Warren explained that the ap? propriations committee of the House had information of what weuid be done with the appropriations for the forestry division. He favored having settled estimates. Mr. Teller declared that the for? estry reservations "were an unmitigat? ed curse and not a blessing." Reading from a memorandum of expenditures of the division, he said. $159,MP was spent in a lump sum. Congress, he added, had nothing to do with fixing the salaries included in that amount. Mr. Money interrupted to say that forest reservations cover an area as large as Maine, New Hampshire, Ver? mont. Massachsetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylva? nia, new Jersey Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia and irginia. 'It Is larger," he said, "by BI.IM square miles than any empire cf Europe." H0NEY??TAR I The original LAXATIVE cough remedf. For coughs, colds, throat and lung ' troubles. No opiates.
