VOL. XXII NO. 40 TRION NEWS Learning that cotton grown in In dia was being offered freely to all the American mills and that’ one of the representatives was in town sev eral days ago *and sold some of this cotton to the Trion Mfg Co., thought it would be of interest to investigate this cotton. About fifty thousand bales of last year’s crop has now been sold to the Southern mills. The hew crop Will be open for sale in Jan uary and it is estimated at 5 1-2 mil lion bales. This cotton’s staple is hot quite so long as the American button but the individual fibre is Courser and stronger.

SOUTH’S CROP VALUE PUT AT $2,500,000,000 Prominent Southerners Discuss Sub jects of Interest to Southern States. Washington, Dec. 7—The second day’s session of the Southern Com mercial congress began at 11 o’clock this morning, with Harvie Jordon, of Atlanta, Ga., in the chair. Among the large gathering were many delegates to the National Riv ers and Harbors congress, which is to begin its sixth annual meeting here tomorrow. G. W. Koiner, commissioner of agri dture of Virginia, spoke on “N i Agricultural Opportuni tie: ;■ t* South." Mr. Koiner said in part: “Ti..- greatest need in the agricul- ture in the South today is better farming. The opportunity to do bet ter' farming is ever present all over the Southland. Many of the South ern farmers are doing better farm ing now than they have ever done be j fore. The value of the crops grown in the South during the past twenty years has Increased from $675,000,000 to $2,500,000,000, and her mineral output has increased from $15,000,000 to $300,000,000. But by doing better farming these values will be doubled !in the future in a much shorter time than the uninformed about the resources of the South would suppose “Seventy- five percent of the pop ulation in the South are farmers. Each farmer is feeding himself and three osiers, and under present con ditions ho will be called upon to feed more. Better farming must feed the ever increasing population.” General Julian S. Carr, of Dur ham, N. C., spoke on “Manufact uring Opportunities in the South.” General Carr contented that the field , of manufacturing opportunities in the South had been barely scratched. While comparatively a great deal has been accomplished,” he said, “the total achievement might be faintly imagined for the future in view of the fact that within the last 30 years the value of the products of South ern manufacturers hafc risen from $347,000,000 to $2,600,000,000.” OAK HILL Rev.

Washington, Dec. 7. —Opposition to the proposed immediate congression al investigation of the sugar import scandals in the New York customs house and likewise to any further re j vision of the tariff at present, ab j sconce of any specific recommends ’ tion regarding the crisis in Nicaragua. I and actual recommendation of legisla -1 tion to forbid the issuance of judicial I injunction without, notice in labor con i troversies, and for the establishment. , of a system of postal savings banks,, may be considered the most striking features of the first annual message of President Taft to congress. The Nicaraguan question, conserv ation of the nation’s natural re sources, needed amendments to the anti-trust and interstate commerce acf and the contemplated revision of the federal statutes governing the or ganization of the armed forces of flto nation in time of war are all re served for possible treatment later in) special messages. In his message, which bulks some 17,000 words, Mr. Taft reports the country to be “in a high state of prosperity,” and he adds that there is every reason to believe that we are on the eve of a substantial bus iness expansion and we have just gar nered a harvest unexampled in the market value of our agricultural prod ucts.” The president expresses entire con fidence that the duty imposed upon the executive of enforcing the maxi mum rates of the tariff law against nations unduly discriminating against the United States will ‘ not provoke any tariff war, and he favors no further tariff tinkering, at least un til the new tariff commission shall have completed its work of gathering information as to the relative cost of producing dutiable articles in this’ country and abroad. This task, ho ex pects, will occupy two or three years Projects recommended by the pres ident in addition to those mentioned above, include. A ship subsidy to encourage Amer ican shipping. Publicity of campaign contributions in election of members of congress. Civil pensions. A larger rate of postage on period icals and magazines. A fund of $50,000 to aid in sup pressing Jhe “white slave” trade. A commission to evolve a plan to expidiate legal procedure and mitigate , the “laws delay.” Construction of an artificial island and fortification in the entrance to Cheasepeake bay, two battleships and one repair ship for the navy and tho , establishment of an extensive naval , base at Pearl Island, I lai wall. A national bureau of health. Statehood for New Mexico and Ari . zona, and an appointive governor and executive council for Alaska. Civil control of the lighthouse board and separation of the national astronomical observatory from naval control. Celebration in 1913 of the semicen- R tennial of negro emancipation and H reinbursement of the depositors of t the defunct Freedman Trust and .Sav ings company. I, Consolidation of the buraus of man ufactures and statistics in the de partment of commerce and labor. s ( Jailing attention to the crisis in Central American affairs brought , about by the summary execution in f Nicaragua of two Americans, the , president announces that this govern ( ' ment has terminated diplomatic rela , | tions with the Zelayan administra j tion in Nicaragua, and intends to ; take such further steps as may bo . I found most “consistent with its dig nity, its duty to American interests f | and its moral obligations to Central America and civilization.” In opposing any immediate investi , ■ gation of the New York custom house scandal, the president takes the ground that such investigation “might by giving immunity and otherwise, prove an embarassment in securing conviction of the guilty parties." A proposal submitted by the secre tary of the treasury that the execu tive department’s deficit for the cur rent fiscal year, estimated at $73,075,- 620, be met by the issuance of Pana . ma bonds, authorized by congress, is . approved by the president. He ex . plains that in order to avoid a de , ficit for the ensuing fiscal year end- I ing June 30, 1911, estimates had been cut to the bone and instead of a de ficit there will be a surplus of $35,- , 931,000, excluding payments on the Panama canal, which are expected to 1 be taken care of by bonds. j - 1 All notes and a counts that are . due will be put out for collection ~ if not paid at one \ >.. ta; LOR & ESPY.
