SECRET OF ETERNAL YOUTH HELD BY GALAXY OF BEAUTIES IN CONTEST STREET HIS CAROLINA YOUTH EE CRTS Petition to Congress Asserts Democrats Forget Pledges and Industry Will Suffer, 'VAPHTXOTON, July 24 -A petition jlgnod by more than GO leading cotton nanufaoturing and distributing Arms tn the United States, protesting igainst the cotton tariff rates in the )ill now under consideration in th»- donate, hn» been presented to both Houses of Congress. The petition 'eads as follows: We herewith voice our protest against the enactment into law of the unequal provisions covering cotton textiles, aR disclosed by the various proposed rates published July 11, 1913, embodied in the bill passed by the House of Represen tatives and amended by the Sen ate majority (Democratic) cau cus. The Democratic platform de clared and promised: “We recognize that our system of tariff taxation is Intimately connected with tne business of the country, and we favor the ultimate attainment of the prin ciples we advocate by legislation that will not injure or destroy legitimate industry.” Say Business Will Suffer. First. We can not reconcile this with the low rates now pro posed, which in many instances must injure legitimate Industry. Second. We point out that we fairly represent the primary and other distributors of cotton tex tiles. handling productions of both North and South which go to every city, town and Aillage in the United States. Third. The rates generally are below what they should be. The amendments made are inadequate to fix competitive rates in ac cordance with the promises of the Democratic platform. Fourth. As we understand it, the purposes of the tariff revision generally were to reduce duties, but not to disturb or inflict pun ishment on any branch of legiti mate industry, and there has been no demand to overdo the reduc tion, especially in cotton textiles, as in many instances is the case. Fifth. Some illustrations: Fail ure to provide higher adequate rates for cotton textiles made of combed yarns than if made of ordinary yarns, or higher ade quate for finished plain woven or figured cloths than for grey; put ting rates for jacquards on same basis as for ordinary cloths, and actually omitting jacquards in Senate amendments, etc., etc. Offered Non - Destructive Bates. Sixth. We indorse the effort of the Independent Manufacturers of New England, who have will ingly accepted great reductions, but asked that consisterlt and non-destructive rates, if on a competitive basis, should prevail. We believe that they have pointed out the lowest possible competitive rates which in opera tion would be consistent and fair to the different branches of the indu^ry—North and South. We do not comprehend why theirrec- ommendations have not been re ceived in the spirit given. Seventh We point out that it is better to err on the side or safety than to subject the industry at this time to the proposed rates more especially on productions of from medium to better grades of goods We deplore the discrimination that subjects the cotton textile trade to these needless hardships.

Ware, real estate operator at No. 30 Highland avenue. Ware is a one-armed man. He was released on bond of $100. Goodman was slashed about the right side of the face and neck. He was taken to the Grady Hospital. Aft er his injuries were attended to he was removed to the police station, where a charge of disorderly conduct was lodged against him. Refuses to Explain Attack. Ware, who voluntarily surrendered to Policeman Bostwick, declared that “he had cut him because he wanted to cut him.” Other than that, he re fused to give an explanation of his action. Ware used a pocket knife as his weapon. According to Goodman, Ware at tacked him without provocation. “I was walking down the street with a friend, when Ware came up to me and without a word began striking at me with a knife. I dodged his blows as well as I could and tried to run, but the knife caught me twice across the face. Then 1 got away and ran, but Ware followed me. If it had not been for someone stopping him he would have killed me, I believe.” Bet Given as Cause of Fight. The affair is said to have been the result of an argument over a “book" on a baseball game. According to in formation given the police. Ware on Wednesday made a bet with Good man of $125 on the game played that afternoon. It was said that Goodman was ac customed to making "books” on base ball games, and that Ware, in lieu of the cash to put up, posted a $20 for feit to cover his bet. According to the report, Ware failed to put up the remaining $105 before the game was played, and when the team which he bet on won, and he at tempted to collect the bet from Good man. the bookmaker refused to pay. The two are declared to have had some difficulty at that time, but re frained from violence. Thursday morning, however, when they met, the stabbing ensued. PHILADELPHIA, July 24.—Wilbur Martin, the young sailor from Ander son, S. C., who was killed here re cently in a tenderloin saloon, w worth more than $250,000 in his own right, according to information re ceived here to-day. He was the rich est enlisted man in the navy. The fascination that the sea heid for him and the adventures of a naval career led him to give up the enjoy ment of his fortune to become a com mon seaman on the battleship Con necticut. Ho inherited this fortune when his mother died last March. His relatives at once began to plead with him io give up his adventurous life and settle down In Anderson. The lure of the sea was too great, however, and ne disregarded their pleadings and ad vice. In despair, his relatives ap pealed to Washington, but this last hope was without avail. The mysterious circumstances sur rounding the death of Martin are thought to have been explained by the discovery to-day of a bottle of heroin, which is supposed to have belonged to him.

LA GRANGE, July 24.—Members of the Georgia Weekly Press Associa tion left LaGrange this morning for Brunswick, still discussing Governor John Marshall Slaton’s scathing ar raignment of Georgia’s tax system at the annual banquet of the association Wednesday night. The Governor ap pealed to the editors for aid in what he declared to be the most serious financial crisis in the history of the State. He said that Georgia’s tax system and reckless spending by the Legislature have brought about pres ent conditions, when the State finds itself unable to pay its school-teach ers. “We must admit it is indefensible to maintain a system that pay." its teachers a year after their work has been performed,” Governor Slaton •«aid. "It is pleasant to spend money and hard to make it. We love to ap propriate, vet shrink from the lax levy. In two years, the Treasurer says, we have spent nearly three- quarters of a million more than our income. The teachers—patient and hard-working -teaching during the day and working examinations at night—molding the characters and training the mlndv of those upon whom our civilisation depends—under our system find no rav of hope from the injustice they suffer Recommends Special Taxes. "While unpleasant to do. I have recommended a levy an extra tax of 1 mill for 1915, and 1-2 mill in 1916, as the brave way to get relii f. The tax payer will find it the best trade he ever made. It would prevent the im position of drastic taxing laws, the deficit in the treasury would be satis fied. the State could say to purchiuvrs of her bond** that she is on a solid financial basis, her teachers would be paid, and the kiting policy, which is opposed to all sound principle, would be abolished.” Governor Slaton emphatically de clared himself in favor of the plan of equalizjition of taxes that has been recommended by the Legislature. Favors Tax Equalisation. “Is not equalization just that re quires all to pay the same percent age?” he asked. “Is it right that one many pays on 16 per cent of the value of his property when another pays on 40? An increase of 20 per cent, by simply equalizing the burden, not in creasing that of him who is already bearing his part, would produce an abundance of revenue for every legiti mate purpose.” • *The -editors will- arrive at Bruns wick this, afternoon and enjoy an out ing of several days in that dry at St. Sun or s Island, where the ond Georgia Infantry is in camp.
