OUR WEEKLY LETTER
FROM WASHINGTON
(L'YoinOu: Etog-iUtr OorrejqtoiHlent )
Washington, Deo. 19, 1901.
As was to be expected the house
of representatives passed the Philip
pine tariff’bill as reported by the
Way*i and Means Committee, res
pite Ihe protestations of the demo
crats who pointed out that it was
a meretricious measure from every
pumt of view, and of a small num
ber of|e|)Ubileans who were un
willing u bhueny submit to the
faith ot the pari v ie.>dej;.s. Tne
fact, however, unit IGpresenUtive
McCall, republican ineniucr ol tire
Ways and Means Committee, and
a small number ot foliowcfa had
the courage to oppose the imperial
istic measure, is taken by the
democrats to be a good sign and it
is hoped that btiore this session of
congress has come to a close Mr.
McCall may have succeeded in or
ganizing a considerable faction
that will stand by the democrats in
their opposition to the extreme
and unwarranted subversion ot
American principles wnich will be
tuc object of tne republican leaders.
Almost simultaneously with the
expression ot these principles in
cougrees that body lias leceivcd
an appeal to confer* on the Taft
Commission gie. .tly increased
power. Not satisfied with their
already autocratic prerogatives,
the gentlemen of this commission
have made recommendations which
even the republicans stand aghast.
The commission desires that it be
authorized to issue bonds with
which to purchase the lands
owned by the religious communi
ties in the islands, to expend the
sum of $4,000,000 on the water
and drainage systems of Manila,
that it be empowered to grant
charters to railroads, award land
grants to the same and ven guar
antee the interest on the invest
ments, It desires to be allowed to
make such qualifications for suf
frage as would exclude the laige
majority of the inhabitants and nu
merous other powers more approp
riate to a despotic monarch than to
the representatives of a republican
•government. What will be done
with these recommendations re
mains to be seen, but it seems in
credible that they will be granted,
It would seem more probable that
congress will ask for more speci
fic recommendations and reserve to
itself the power to enact the im
portant legislation necessary.
The senate has ratified the Ilav-
Pauncetote treaty by a vote of 72
06. With the treaty out of the
way the bills providing for the
construction of a canal will be the
next consideration. In the senate,
the bill proposed by Senator Mor
gan has been favorably reported by
the committee on interoceanic can
als, of which he is the chairman.
In the house the Hepburn bill will
prooably be taken up soon after
congress reassembles and there is
every reason to believe that it will
be passed.

Welcome to Rov- H. C. Whto at
Presbytartan Churoh,
A pleasant and interesting ser
vice was held at the Presbyterian
Church last Sunday night when
the ministers and congregations of
all of the other churches in Cat;-
tersville assembled to exte.-d a
welcome to the new pastor ol the
Presbyterian church, Rev. H. C.
White, and Ins interesting family.
The church was crowded with
people and the Rev. Alex \V.
Beater, pastor of the Baptist
church, presided over the meeting
and introduced the speakers in uis
usual happy style.
After a prayer by Rev. G. W.
Yarbrough and a song by the
choir winch was composed ot Mrs,
J. \7. Harris, Miss FToieuee Mil
ner. Messrs. J. S. andj. J. Cal
houn, jr., with Miss Estelle Cal
tioun presiding at the organ, Mr.
Bealer introduced the first speaker
of the evening, Rev. F. W. Am
bler. rector of the Episcopal
church, who extended to Mr.
White a cordial welcome to the
state of Georgia.
The next speaker was Rev. J. J..
Jones, who extended a welcome to
Cartersville and he was followed
by Rev. G. W. Yarbrough who
welcomed Mr. White, to the work
of the church in Cartersville. Then
came the welcome to the Presby
terian church by Major C. H.
Smith who reviewed the pastors of
the church who had served within
his memory, and he was followeu
by Rev. H. C. White who thanked
the ministers foi their kind and
encouraging words, and the con
gregation for their presence. Mr.
Bealer then made a short talk, and
invited the congregation to extend
the hand of welcome to Mr. Wmte
and his wife, which was largely
accepted aud many went forward
to shake their hands.
The speeches were all interest
ing and entertaining and the ser
vice was interspersed with delight
ful music by the choir.
The service was closed by Rev.
C. A. Allday with the benediction.
A Costly Rooster-
Plunkett’s Weeklv.
It will be remembered by all peo
ple living in the neighborhood of
Doraville, Chamblee, in fact, any
where from Decatur to the Gwin
nett line, that some time ago there
was'a strange man who lived a
Gypsy life in this region aud came
to be known as the man with the
•‘black steer.”
“Have you seen the black steer?”
Or, “where is the black steer?”
Or, “the black steer went by
today” was the way this man was
spoken of ana it seemed to satisfy
everybody. After so long a time
the “black steer” turned up in At
lanta one day and the detectives
arrested the man as a great coun
terfeiter —this part of the story will

be ie me inhered as reported in the
papers at the time.
“Along with the "black steer”
was a woman who told fortunes
and took as pay such things as
chickens, eggs, butter, etc , where
there was an absence of money.
, The truth is. the "black steer”
outfit was getting rid of counter
feit silver.
Anyhow, in their trading in De
kalb. they got a-hold of a small
chicken—a rooster. When the
“black s‘eer” aud the little cov
ered wagon, arrived in Atlanta,
the man of the turnout seemed
bent on getting a quart of the “ar
dent.” and nothing seemed to do
but what he must have Pickens
! County corn.
“Can you tell me where I can
find some Pickens County corn?”
was the man’s oft repeated ques
tion.
At last he struck a man that
knew where Pickens County corn
was kept, and the “black isteer”
and covei ed wagon was soon stetnd
j iug in fiont of Steve Moore’s bar
and in a trade Mr. Moore secured
j the Dekalb county chicken. Moore
1 only paid fifteen ceuts in trade for
j the chicken aud turned- him out
! among Uis other chickens vrrthont
a thought of the matter.
The cuicken grew, and before
any one had thought about it, a
fine rooster was developed from
the little 15 cent chicken. Mr.
Moore is as good a judge of chick-,
ens as he is a of Pickens County
corn, and so he preserved the
young rooster, named him DeKMb
and last a ek was offered eightv
round dollars for him.
Eighty dollars is a costly price
for a rooster, but it shows what
our county can produce on any
1 line. Mr. Moore now keeps on
| Decatur street and he takes pleas
| ure in showing DeKalb as the fin
! est rooster ever put in a pit.

Hot Springs, Ark-,
is no competition against Lipp
man’s Great Remedy for the cure
of rheumatism.
James Newton, Aberdeen, Ohio,
says, P. P. P. did him more good
than three mouths treatment at
Hot Springs, Ark.
W. TANARUS, Simmons,of Waxahatchie,
Texas, says his rheumatism was
so bad that he was confined to his
bed for months. Physicians advised
Hot Springs, Ark., and Mineral
Wells, Texas, at which places be
.spent seven weeks in vain, wita
knees so badly swollen that his
tortures were beyond endurance.
,P. P. P. made the cure and proved
itself as in thousands of other
cases, the best blood purifier in the
world, and superior to all sarsapa
rillas and the so-called rheumatic
springs.
