A special meeting of the Business
Men's Association was held Friday
night to consider the question of se
curing an organization of the High
land County Hospital Co., 'so that
everyone could get behind it and boost
The Hospital Company had ap
pointed a committee consisting of J.
A. Head, J. W. Evans and C. M. Lacy
and requested the Business Men's As
sociation to appoint a committee of
threo to confer with this commtttco
for tho purpose of attempting to agree
upon such an orglnlzatlon of the Hos
pital that the Business Men's Associa
tion would endorse it.
A committee composed of Irvln
McD Smith, J. B. Spencer and Stew
ard Klncald, was finally appointed by
the Association to confer with tho
Hospital Commltte.
About 50 members of tho Associa
tion attended the meeting and all of
them seemed anxious to side step tak
ing either sldo in tho Hospital con
troversy. Upon motion of J. W. Evans the
chair was instructed to appoint acom
mlttee of three, who were authorized
to select the committee of threo to
confer with the Hospital committee.
At this stage President Garrett
asked that lie have tho unanimous
consont of the Association to with
draw from the chair, as he held stock
In the Hoslptal, and that the vice
president, O. N. Sams, preside over
the meeting.
Mr. Sams took tho chair upon the

Dam Project Revived I
The project to build dams across
Paint and Rocky Fork creeks noar the
Point has again been revived. Tho
dams are for tho purpose of securing
power for tho generating of elec
tricity for heat, light and power.
The project was agitated a few
years ago and considerable prelimi
nary work done at that tlmo, such as
surveying and locating the best places
for the construction of tho dams.
Last week surveyors wore again on
the ground and it was understood
that Columbus capitalists are now
behind the movement.
It would cost In tho neighborhood
of a, million and a half dollars to
carry tho movement through. That
tho powor can be secured for the gen
erating of tho electricity lsundoubtod.
whether capitalists can bo made to
see that it would be a paying propo
sition when completed is the main
question.
When the matter was previously
agitated Beveral extended articles on
it were published in the News-Iler-aid.
Exportation of manufactures In the
fiscal year just ended more than Jus-
fled the estimate of the Bureau of
Statistics, Department of Commerce
and Labor, that tho total value would
In 1012 for the first time cross tho
billion dollar line. That bureau that
has just completed Its figures show-,
ing the exportation of manufactures, '
states the total value of manufac
tures exported In the fiscal year at
81,021,753.018, of which $074,302,003
was tlio valuo of manufactures ready
forconsumptlon and $317,451,015 that
of manufactures for further use In
manufacturing.
This does not Include foodstuffs
which have undergone a process of
preparation or manufacture, since
tho bureau groups articles of that
class under J.ho general heading of
"food stuffs"" exported. This 1,022
million dollars worth of manufactures
exported In the fiscal year 1012 Is more
than doublo that of 1003, 3 times that
of 1808, 4 times that of 1800, 5 times
as great as in 1804, practically (I times
as great as In 1800, and 10 times as
great as In 1870, tho value of manu
factures exported In a single year
never reached as much as 100 million
dollars until the year 1873. Comparing
1012 with 1002, a decade earlier, the
totals are: manufactures ready for
consumption in 1012, 074 million dol
lars, against 322 million in 1002; man
ufactures for further use In manufac
turing in 1012, 317 million dollars,
against 132 million In 1002; total man
ufactures exported in 1012 1,022 mil
lion dollars against 455 million in 1002
having thus increased about 125 per
cent during the decade.
This growth In the exports of man
ufactures Is more rapid than that of
the other classes of merchandise.
Manufactures formed 47 per cent, of
the exports of 1012, against 32 per
cent, In 1002 and 18 per cent. In 1802.
This increasing share which the
manufactures form of tho exports
occurs chiefly at tho expense of food
stuffs which formed but about 20 per
cent, of the exports of 1012, against
approximately 33 per cent. In 1002 and
50 per cent. In 1802.
The prlnclpil articles forming this
billion dollars worth of manufactures
exported are: Iron and steel, copper,
mineral oil, manufactures of wood,
leather , and manufactures thereof,
cotton manufactures, cars and car
riages, automobiles, and paper and
manufactures thereof. Tho total
value of iron and steel manufactures
exported In the year was 208 million
dollars, against 00 million in 1002, a
decade earlier, and 20 million in 1802,
two decades earlier. The chief growth
in the exports of Iron and steel man
ufactures has occured slnco 1800, the
total value of the exports of Iron and
steel never having touched tho 100
million dollar line until the year 1000,
and only crossed the 200 million dol
lar line In the year 1011, when tho
total was 231 million, against 203 mil
lion In the year just ended. Machin
ery alone amounted to 115 million
dollars value, and this does not In
clude agricultural Implements, of
which the year's exports amounted to
35 million dollars, or automobiles and
parts thereof, which amounted to
practically 23 million dollars. Auto
mobiles show perhaps the most rapid
growth in the list of manufactures
exported, having been as aboe Indi
cated, 23 million dollars in 1012,
against less than 1 million in 1002, a
decade earlier. The total value of
complete automobiles that wero ex
ported In tho year is 21 million dol
lars and to this must be added about
4 million dollars worth of parts of
automobiles and 2 million for tires,
making the grand total for automo
biles and parts thereof, including
tires, about 28 million dollars, against
5 million in 1003 and less than 1 mil
lion in 1002.

Theodore Perln returned Tuesday
from his vacation, which he spent

Tho impression that school teachers
will not receive pay for attending
Institutes is erroneous.
School teachers are entitled to pay
for attendance at Institutes, accord
ing to an opinion of Attorney General
llogan Monday. Boards of Education
have no way of avoiding It, ho holds,
and denies that he ever gave an opin
ion that toaehers are not entitled to
compensation for Institutes. This was
erroneously believed by a few boards,
he declared.
"If school Is not In session when the
Institute meet,"saldMr. llogan, "the
board must pay the teacher $2 a day
for not less than four days and not
more than six days. In the event
that the Institute is held when school
Is In session, tho teacher attending Is
entitled to regular pay for tho days
absent from school because of the
Institute "

Judgo K B. Dillon, of Columbus, an
nounced Monday that he would with
draw as the Republican Candidate for
governor and that his letter of re
signation would be given to the state
central committee o Wednesday.
Ills grounds for refusing to make
the race are the lack of harmony in
the party and the probability of a
third party slate ticket being placed
In the Held.
The action of Judgo DUllon Is a
bitter disappointment to Republicans
generally, as It was believed that his
nomination would cement the warring
factions and was generally acceptable
to both Taft and Roosevelt Republi
cans. Who will be selected to nil his place
on the ticket has not been decided.
Rumor Is rife and many have been
mentioned, but a successor has not
been chosen.
It Is useless toclahn that tho resigna
tion of Judge Dllllon does not injure
the chances of Repupllcan success in
Ohio this fall. It does and only time
will determine, whether a solution
which gives hope of Republican suc
cess can be found.
Walter F. Brown, chairman of the
Rupubllcan State Central Committee
and Roosoveltjeader In Ohio, in an
Interview Tuesday suggested that a
candidate for governor be secured that
would bo acceptable to both factions
and that the state, district and county
ticket be placed on loth tickets.
This plan would insure victory for the
party In tho state and It Is hoped that
tho leaders of both factions will be
will bo willing to concede something
and that this may bo done.
Thero are softer beds than those of
the politicians these days.
