ATTACK ON TARIFF MEASURE Both Republicans and Demo crats Criticise Administra tion Bill Washington, June 7.?While the finance committee majority con tinued today to recede from some of the tariff rates originally rec ommended to the senate, the ad ministration measure came in for renewed assaults from both sides of the chamber. Proposed duties on firearms, which finally were approved, led to a discussion of wide range. Sen ator King, Democrat, Utah, de clared that the tariff measure al ready was being used as a means of advancing prices in this coun try. He read from published re ports that the American Woollen Mills had made a second advance in prices and predicted that these raises would be extended *o other commodities, including boots, shoe9 and cotton. Senator Xorris, Republican, Ne braska, discussing the duties pro posed oh shotguns said the idea was to put up a high tariff wall behind which American gun manu macturers could advance prices suf ficient to take care of their losses in invading the markets of the world and driving foreign ^produc ers out of business in their own j countries. He asserted that this not only was true with reference to shotguns, but also with reference to sewing machines, paints, steel products and many other things included in the bill. The Nebraska Senator's speech was declared by-Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, the Democratic leader, in the tariff, fight to be "an indictment of this bill and an in dictment of the principle of protec tion as applied here." Mr. Simmons added that he looked for other "in- ! dependent action" on the part of j Republican senators before the con- j sideration of the tariff bill had end ed. Attacking the bill generally, the North Carolina Senator charged that it carried a "gratuity" and a "subsidy" in every line for the 3,000 or. 4,000 "trusts and monopolies" in the . United States. Senator Heflin, Democrat, Alabama, attacked the measure on similar lines. Breaking into the general discus sion. Senator Harrison, Democrat, Mississippi, charged that adminis tration leaders were trying to be cloud the real issue by bringing in "side issues" referring especi-' ally to the exception taken by Senator Watson, Republican, In diana, to addresses delivered by the British and Italian ambassa dors. Supporting the rates on shotguns and rifles, Senator MeCumber, Re publican, North Dakota, said the war left 30,000,000 arms in Europe and that he had no doubt the Eu ropeans would be willing to sell them in this country at greatly re duced prices. -? ? ? - I Pacific Islets > Discovered and Rediscovered ? The reported discovery by an American pleasure craft of hither to unknown islands in the Pacific near Kingman's Shoal, south of Hawaii, has been followed by a statement from the Hydrographie Office of the United States Navy that the reported find probably is a rediscovery of Washington and j Palmyra islands, situated near the j latitude and longitude given. A i bulletin from the Washington, D. IC, headquarters of the National j Geographic Society briefly describes the islands mentioned: 'There would be nothing new in I tfcs" rediscovery of Pacific islands." j says the bulletin. "Many of them have never been inhabited or were abandoned years ago, and to all ap ! pearanc?*s are virgin islands. A j number of small islands have been I reported as new finds over and j over again, and in several cases j double and treble names testify to j this circ umstance. The most re ' cently reported discovery is in a re gion fairly well frequented by ships since it is within 300 miles of the mid-Pacific station of the Canada Australia cable on Fanning Island and is even closer to the0steamer; lane between Honolulu and Amer ican Samoa. Only 6 Feet Above Sea "Palmyra Island, which lies about 50 miles south of Kingman's j Reef, was discovered 120 years ^go by the American ship 'Palmyra.' In 1^12 the United States took for mal possession of the island and made it a part of the Territory of Hawaii. It is of coral. 5 1-2 miles long by 1 1-2 wide and its highest ! point is only 6 feet above- the sea. j making it a precarious place of residence in case a tidal wave I should strike it. There are no in- I habitants. "Washington Island, about 100 | miles southeast of Palmyra and only 75 miles from the Fanning Island cable station, was discov ered in 1798. It is 3 1-2 by 1 1-2 miles and its 'highlands' top those of Palmyra by four feet. The soil is rich and the island is covered by a luxuriant growth of coconut trees. Something over 100 people live on the island. ?"Kingman's Reef itself has on its i rim two tiny islands that have ap- { peared on large-scale charts of the j central Pacific for many years." j Floating a Company. , j _ i A business man who is keen on j having proficient clerks in his em- ' ploy, required all who sought em-, ployment with him, to pass a writ- ? ten examination on business knowledge. At one of the exami nations, one of the questions was: Who formed the first company? A certain bright youth was a lit tle puzzled at this, but was not to ! be floored. He wrote: "Noah sue- j cessfully floated a company while the rest of the world was in Ii- ! quidation." He passed.?The De- ' WORLD m Pittsburgh, June 6.?Mrs. Lil lian Russell Moore, whose death was announced early today, has been ill several weeks following an accident on shipboard when she was returning to this country from Europe.

Washington, June 1.?'"Austin, third Texas city to be imperiled by the forces of nature in littje more than a week, has played an important, but not generally known, part in American history, says a bulletin from the Washing ton. D. C, headquarters of the National Geographic Society, in re gard to the capital of Texas, the outskirts of which were struck by a cyclone. "When Washington, capital of the United States, was little more than a village of mud streets be tween 1S36 and 1846," says the bul letin, "Austin was a similar 'world capital,' the seat of government of the independent Republic of Texas, which for ten years existed as the fellow nation of the United States. Ministers and special envoys were accredited to the Republic by the United States and half a dozen or more of the leading nations of Eu rope; and the forms and amenities of world diplomacy were carried out punctiliously in the little cap ital. "Most of the legations have been torn down now to make way for modern buildings, but traditions still linger of the efforts of the French and British ministers to gain the greater influence with the 1 young republic, and of the watch- j fulness of the representative of the J United States to see that no loop holes were created to facilitate an attack on the Monroe Doctrine. Descendants-of some of the fami lies of the diplomats are resi dents of the city today. Selected Like District of Colum bia. "Like the District of Columbia, Austin was located by special com missioners charged to select a cred itable site tor the future seat of .the republic's government. This was immediately after independence had been won from Mexico. They chose a tract on the Colorado Riv er among gently rolling hills just below where the stream breaks from a range of low mountains. So the modern city, set on its Series of heights, has for a background a great sweep of purple hills that adds greatly to its scenic attrac tiveness. "But these hills have a more utilitarian aspect than that of a picturesque setting for the capital of Texas. In past geologic times a tremendous catacylysm occurred which formed a 500 foot cliff for j DOINGS OF THE DUFFS ALL RlGHT,SlR~ A SHAV BE - NICE.

LOUIS'? 500 miles across Texas along the, line of the eastern edge of these 1 now rounded hills. This is the' Balcones Escarpment, fast becom-j ing a commonplace term in finan cial districts; for along its line have been discovered nearly all of the great Texas oil fields that have spouted and are spouting their millions of barrels of pe troleum. Street Preserves Memory of Repub lic. "Austin preserves a memory of the only republic to enter the United States in the name of its principal street: Congress Avenue. Along this thoroughfare were sit uated the congressional halls of the nation. At the head of this avenue, on the crest of a com manding hill, is the present State capitol. Its architecture, like that of many other state capitols, is largely borrowed from the capitol at Washington, and it is almost as extensive, being the largest of the 48 state houses. "Texas, being a sovereign na tion, was the only one of the states to reserve for itself its public do main. One of the important state functions, therefore, has been the maintenance of a Land Office like that of the federal government. The state capitol is a monument to this unique condition, for the state was able to obtain its huge government building without the expenditure of a cent of money by j 'bartering* to a construction syndi cate a tract of 3,000,000 acres. This was a negligible portion of the public domain, though it covered an area more than twice the size of- Delaware. It was kept intact for years by its private owners and constituted the most extensive cattle ranch in existence. Has Huge Dam. "The present-day Austin is cred ited with a resident population of 35,000, but the presence of 5,000 students of the State University and the ihmates of more than half a dozen1 state institutions carries the total during the greater part of the year close" to the 50,000 mark. "Across the gorge of the Colo rado River just west of Austin is one of the largest of American dams, which forms in the moun tain-rimmed canyon a lake 30 miles long. It was constructed by ?the municipality as a source of wa ter and power, but with the nu merous mountain streams empty ing into it, it constitutes a popular playground as well. The breaking of the" dam a decade and a half ago is the only other natural calamity that has befallen the city. The losses were, confined to the river bottoms. Since then the structure has been replaced and heightened." Eastern National Forests Enlarged by Xew Purchase. Washington, D. C, June 5.?Ad ditions of 100,930 acres to the eastern national forests in Pennsyl vania,- New England, and. the southern Appalachians have just been authorized by the National Forest-* Reservation Commission, '? which-also recommended that the directo* of the budget be asked to include in the 1924 estimates an item of $2,000,000 for the further purchase of lands under the Weeks law. The.average cost of the lands authorized for purchase will, be $3.23 an acre. ? Close to three fourths'of the total area, or 74, 025 acres, is in northwestern Pennsylvania; 12,796 acres are in Virginia, 3,613 acres in Arkansas, 1,804 in Alabama, 1,027 in Norm Carolina, 631 in South Carolina, and 398 acres in Unicoi County, Tenn. In Carroll County, N. H., 1, C97 acres and in Oxford County, Me., 87 acres are added to the White Mountain National Forest. Except in Pennsylvania these purchases merely increase existing National Forests and are largely to consolidate the government's holdings, but in the Keystone state the purchases are the first ever au thorized and constitute the initial step in building up a new eastern national forest, on the headwaters of the Allegheny river. The lands lie in Warren, Elk. Forest, and McKean counties, and the commission plans to carry the purchases to over 100,000 acres this year. "There is now in the United States," says W. W. Ashe, secretary of the commission, "about 80 mil lion acres of land that are burned or cut over and are unproductive. The rapidly diminishing supply of timber and the influence of much of this land upon floods make it necessary for the government to acquire stum idie land as rapidly as possible^and put it to work growing trees." On Trial. The lady's maid was in the wit ness box. "Where were you at 6:45 on the evening in question?" was the first query put to her by the examining counsel.

Britton and Mims. Minutes of May 2nd were read and approved. Mr. H. A. Raffield came befoie the board complaining about wa ter being backed up on his land by insufficient piping in branch near his place. He was advised that the work soon to be done by the Permanent Roads Commission would remedy this, but the county engineer was directed to take steps to give him immediate relief. Mr. Ashley Kelly came before the board asking that they assist him further in getting medicine. The board authorized this medi cine to be furnished him. Superintendent N?nnamaker of the Alms House reported to the board that the telephone company i would restring the wires of the Alms House telephone line on the poles belonging to T. S. DuBose at a cost of twenty-five dollars. The board authorized this expenditure. County Engineer reported the main gang were engaged in widen ing the old Camden road from Wedgefield to Statetyirg hill to a width of thirty feet and expected to continue this widening to the old Shiloh church. He reported the , jail yard gang engaged as usual in maintaining roads leading out of the city and in emergency work, and the Pinewood and Shiloh gangs at work as usual in, their respec tive territories. He reported the resignation during the month of Foreman Jesse Holland, and the appointment of C. P. Barksdale to fill this place. He, reported that the Holt caterpillar tractor lately rented from the state highway de partment had been received and put to work, and in connection with the twelve foot grader plac ed with the county on approval was doing fine work in widening the county roads. He reported that the Wedgefield road had ,been widened for a greater portion of its' length to thirty feet, as had other sections of the road beyond Sec ond Mill. He stated that this out fit was working in the neighbor-, hood of the Peter Pitts place and asked the board to go out and look at the work being accomplish ed when it adjourned. The board decided to do this. -Report was received from the clerk showing the expenditures un der the various items of the sup ply act for the first four . months I of the year. Applications for aid were received from the following parties and acted upon as follows: Henry McFadden referred to , Commissioner Britton for further investigation, Mrs. Martha Lee re ferred to the clerk for further in vestigation. John Frierson's com mitment to Alms House confirmed. Commissioner Lenoir reported result of investigation of case of Virgil Wilson, applicant for aid, and the application was declined. Reports were received from the Rural Policemen, Home Demon stration agent and Cotton Weigh ers. The clerk was directed to write Magistrate McElveen regarding collection of a fine of five dollars from automobile owner for failure to have license plate. The clerk was directed again to write the ru ral policemen calling upon them to rigidly enforce the automobile license law, and to arrest all au tomobilists without license plates. Chairman Rowland reported that he had had very considerable correspondence with the state high way "department in the matter of furthering the construction of the approaches to the.Wateree River bridge and that the department was now making a thorough investiga tion of conditions'to determine the best route for these- approaches. He further Stated that since Com missioner McLaurin's. death, he had pursued the matter . of obtaining rights of way from the Sautee River Cypress Lumber Co. The board designated the chair man to act on this committee to obtain rights of way. Engineer Jeffords stated that the Ford truck was depreciating under the hard service to which it was being put and suggested the purchase of a new motor for it at the cost of one hundred dollars. Action on this was deferred. Resolutions on the death of Commissioner McLaurin were or dered prepared, and incorporated in the minutes and a copy sent to the family and same published. A delegation from the Rotary club of the city came before the board requesting that the county contribute two hundred and fifty dollars per month towards main 666 quickly relieves Colds, Constipation, Biliousness and Headaches.

A resolution was also pre sented from a former meeting of citizens interested in Red Cross work asking that this be done. Members of the Rotary committee made statements stressing the im portance of this work and the need of it at this time. It was stated that the present members of the county legislative delegation were favorably disposed to making pro vision whereby such an appropria tion could be made from county funds. Chairman Rowland stated that as matters now stood there was nothing in the supply act en abling the board to make such an appropriation; that the monthly average of the five thousand dol lars for Alms House and pauper account was already being exceed ed and that the amount of taxes going to. execution, presaging a dif ficulty in financing the county caused the board to hesitate before taking on any additional obliga tions, however worthy. After due consideration the board deferred action on this until the next meet ing so it could further inform it self on this matter. Further endorsement of W. D. Barwick's application for aid was received but as the monthly appro priation allowed for this purpose was being exceeded the board had to decline the request. Mr. Muldrow came before the board calling attention to the bad, condition of the roads in the Mayes- j ville section.. He was advised that the county Engineer expected to get to that section within the next ten days.' Mr. J. E. DcPre came before the board asking f. for help for Aaron Logan, an old negro of his section who was entirely destitute and aB very worthy subject for charity.' He was advised to make up a regular application and pre sent it. to the next meeting of the board and the board would consid er it. By request Messrs. Moise and Belser, members of the legislative delegation, conferred with the board? relative to ways and means for the purchase of a twelve foot grader, for use with the caterpillar tractor, and after considering the matter from all angles the board decided to purchase the^ grader. After approving claims before it the board adjourned. ? , y Twenty political parties keep Hungary living up to her name. -Looks as if the only one who can make ends meet is a fishing worm.
