A MERICUS TIMES-RECORMffi
ARE LINING UP
AGAINST FORAKER
Has a Hard Fight to Hold
Senatorial Job.
| OHIO STANDS WITH TEDDY
Congressman Kennedy, of That State.
Reviews the Political Conditions-
Antagonism to Roosevelt May
Prove His Undoing.
WASHINGTON, D. C., August 1G. —
•Tames Kennedy, Representative in
Congress from the Eighteenth Ohio
district, is in Washington for a cou
ple of days looking after a number
of departmental matters of interest to
his constituents. Fresh from the
State where the Foraker-Taft con
test is waging, Mr. Kennedy talked
entertainingly about the situation as
he understands it in the Buckeye
State.
“If one were to speak the absolute
truth,” said Mr. Kennedy, “in talking
about the Presidential question, and
the sentiments of the people of Ohio
with regard to available candidates,-
there is no Foraker-Taft mix-up. The
sentiment of the people of our State
is overwhelmingly for Taft for the
Presidency; only here and there is
the Senator considered as a possible
candidate for this great office. The
real question in Ohio is whether
Foraker should be returned to the
Senate. Personally, I am of the op
inion that it would be a good thing
for the State to retain Mr. Foraker
in the Senate, but there are great
numbers of influential Republicans
who are opposing his re-election, and
who will bitterly antagonize him
in the election of members of the
legislature that will select his suc
cessor.
Hostile to Foraker,
"Particularly in the counties com
prising the Western Reserve, is there
determined hostility to the Sena
tor. You must remember that Ohio
gave Roosevelt a quarter of a mil
lion majority in the last Presidential
election, and the policies of Roose
velt are exceedingly popular among
our people. Up in the Western Re
| serve there is a general belief . that
I Senator Foraker has systematically
opposed the President and those
things for which he stands.
"It is difficult for the people in
that part of the State not to believe
that the Senator’s antagonism to the
President's railroad rate policy was
a vital mistake. The Senator has
explained his attitude in his speeches
and has declared that every step
that has been taken in the way of
prosecution of the violators of the
interstate commerce law has been
under the old Elkin’s law, and not
under the recent legislation. This
may be true, but those who differ
from the Senator also point out that
this new legislation, which the Presi
dent urged and which Senator Fora
ker opposed, ma ie the gathering of
the evidence easier and created the
machinery that has made conviction
possible.
Opposition is Intense.
“There is no doubt that opposition
to the Senator is so intense through
out the Western Reserve and some
other sections of the State that
many who would like to see him re
turned fear that it will be impossi
ble to do so. It is no secret that
through the Western Reserve coun
ties every member nominated and
elected to the State legislature by
tlie Republicans will he pledged to
cast his vote so as to prevent'the
re-election of Mr. Foraker. With
such conditions existing throughout
such a large and influential section
of the State, it Is difficult to see how’
the Senator can come back to the
Senate.”

bracelets at Bell’s, the Jeweler.
A Lazy Liver
May be only a tired liver, or a starved
liver. It would boa stupid as well as
savago thing to Ivat a weary or starved
man because ho lagged in his work. So
in treating the lagging, torpid liver It is
a great mistake to lash it with strong
drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an
indication of an ill-nourished, enfeebled
body whose organs are weary with over
Work. Start with the stomach and allied
organs of digestion and nutrition. Put
them in working order and sec how
quickly your liver will become active.
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical- Discovery
has made many marvelous cures of "liver
trouble” by its wonderful control of the
organs of digestion and nutrition. It re
stores the normal activity of the stomach,
increases the secretions of the blood-mak
ing glands, cleanses the system from poi
sonous accumulations, and so relieves the
liver of the burdens Imposed upon it by
the defection of other organs.

ATLANTA, August 16. (By Sou.

■will not adjourn tomorrow night at
the expiration of the time of the
regular session, hut an extra session
lasting probably through next week
has been found necessary.
The order for an extra session
was given this afternoon, and both
houses will meet Monday as usual.
Business Unfinished.
How long the extra session will

SESSION IS NEARING CLOSE
Many Measures Are Passed by the Assembly This
Week.
ATLANTA, August 16.—Most of the
pet measures of the Macon platform
have received attention at the hands
of the solons. The disfranchisement
bill, which consumed -so much time
this week, apparently pleases the
administration and those who daddied
the measure, and it will stick.
With the house provision and
amendments made more stringent,
the senate finance committee favorably
reported the general tax act after
four sessions that lasted approximate
ly 21 hours.
The act as amended, prescribes a
$10,0(h) tax on all clubs keeping whis
key lockers, and fixes an income tax
ol’ 1 per cent on ail the corporations
named in the house amendment, go
ing further and including railway, tel
ephone and telegraph operating lines
less than one hundred miles in length.
The finance committee has been
given unstinted praise for the rapid
and yet concise manner in which the
bill lias been oiscqssed. Senator Fel
der, chairman of the committee, has 1
used every available moment and has
the act ready for a report at the time
tiiat he said he would.
STRIKE 15 DRAGGING ALONG
Each Faction Seems Satisfied jWith the Telegraph
Situation,
NEW YORK, August 16.—There
■were no developments pf moment in
the telegraphers’ strike in this city
and at nearby points today. All
sides to the controversy continued op
tomistic in their expressions.
“The strike is over,” declared Pres
ident dowry of the Western Union.
“It has but just begun,” commented

WEDDING IS QUITE A
SURPRISE TO FRIENDS
M iss Littlejohn of Cordele Weds
Mr. W. A. Morris.
CORDELE, GA„ August 16.—The
marriage of Miss Sue Littlejohn and
Mr. Willie A. Morris, two of Cor
dele’s popular young people whioh
occurred in Oglethorpe was a great
surprise to all. Miss Littlejohn was
visiting friends In Oglethorpe, Mr.
Morris's place of business being at
Arlington, he came over to see this
young lady when they decided to
marry. Objections on the part of
the bride’s parents, are supposed to
be the reason why they were married
so suddenly and away from home.
Miss Littlejohn is the only daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Littlejohn, who
are among Cordele’s first settlers.
Mr. Littlejohn is now clerk and
treasurer of Crisp county.
MONEY IS RAISED BY
TAX FOR SCHOOLS
Fertilizer Tax Increases Amount
by $120,000.
ATLANTA, August 16.—The recom
mendation of the senate agricultural
committee of an increase in the fer
tilizer tag tax from 10 cents to 25
cents has been adopted. The com
mittee, however, provided that, in
addition to the SIO,OOO given to each
district agricultural college that
SIO,OOO be given to the Georgia ex
periment station. The vote in the
committee/was close, being 6 to 4.
This’ bill, when enacted into a law,
■while it will not increase materially
the price of fertilizers, will bring
into the treasury, for the benefit of
education, about $120,000 more than
last year.

#IO,OOO Tax Adopted.
The Senate today, by a vote of 22
to 17 passed the House bill imposing
a special tax of ten thousand dollars
upon all social clubs where intoxi
cating liquors are kept in, private
lockers for the use of its members.
Heavy Tax on Uigraettes.
The cigarette was likewise put un
der the ban today by the passage in
the Senate of a bill imposing a tax
of SIOO upon all dealers in cigarettes.
The 1 per cent income tax for cor
porations was adopted by the commit
tee. Not satisfied, the committee then
provided for an additional tax not
proposed by the lower house, when it
placed the same tax upon railroad,
lines telephone and telegraph com
panies with lines less than 100 miles
long.
Such corporations were immune un
der the house provisions.
As, soon as this provision was
agreed on the committee immediately
reconsidered its previous action in
striking out the S3OO tax on whiskey
lockers by placing a tax of SIO,OOO,
which, it is claimed, will be prohibi
tory,
Tbe amendment has been carefully
drawn so as to insure the collection of
this tax. The failure to pay is made a
penal offense, the object being to pre
vent clubs of a low’er order from
keeping whiskey in their lockers and
failing to pay the tax required. This
provision was heartily favored by
‘ Senators Overstreet and Hardman.
A few minor amendments were ad
ded, and then the committee favorably
! reported the act.

CROP OF COTTON IS

It PINKSTON CO.
HE WILL URGE
NEW TRUST LAW
Roosevelt is Planning More
Radical Legislation
WANrS TO REACH BIG MEN
He Believes Jail Sentences That Will
Deprive Heads of Corporations of
Liberty Like Ordinary Violators
of Law Will Command Re
spect for Statutes.
Although President Roosevelt is
enjoying his vacation at. Oyster Bay,
he is know to be giving considerable
of his time to a careful consideration
of all matters to which he will di
rect the attention of the Federal law
makers when the Sixtieth Congress
convenes next December. It has long
been understood that Mr. Roosevelt
believes the laws intended to curb the
power of the trusts need strengthen
ing, and some radical legislation on
this line will be urged.
if Congress rseponds to the wishes
of the President, one of its first
acts will be an amendment to the
present anti-trust law that will en
able the government to reach the
officials of law-breaking trusts, in
stead of attacking the corporate body
itself. In other words, the Presi
dent believes with Atorney General
Bonaparte, that a jail sentence here
and there, that will deprive a fqw
officials of their liberty, just as if
they were ordinary violators of the
law, will have more efficacy than
all the fines that could be imposed.
Attorney General Bonaparte has de
clared it to be his policy to prose
cute these law-breaking officials
whenever it appears that a conviction
reasonably may be expected, but the
law officers of the government as
sert that tfie present statues in that
respect are weak.
Bonaparte Hopes lo Bag Game.
However, without waiting the ac- ’
tion of Congress, Mr. Bonaparte will |
do what he can. To use one of his
own expressions of yesterday, “there
is a pretty big covey of game,” and
the Attorney General thinks it would
be a rather pior marksman who could 1
not land a bird or two. When it ;
comes to particularizing, however, the (
Atorney General maintains a frigid
silence. Whether Mr. Harriman is !
to be prosecuted is a question be
refuses to answer, although there 1
was an unofficial statement at the
department yesterday that no im
mediate prosecution is contemplated
further than to make him answer
(Certain quesions relating to the
Chicago and Alton deal.
These questions have nothing to
do with the rebates given that road,
to the Standard Oil Company but
with the transactions in high finance
conducted by the Union Pacific presi
dent. Attorney General Bonaparte
made the admission yesterday that
immunity had been granted to the
Chicago and Alton from prosecution •
under the Elkins law for giving the
rebates to the Standard. It appears
that this immunity was given by
Frank Morrison, special counsel for
the government, with sepcial appro
val of Mr. Moody when he was At
torney General.
Alton Hoad is Protected.
’The consideration which the Alton
road gave was the testimony which
enabled the government to prosecute
the Standard Oil Company success
fully. Attorney General Bonaparte
lias written* a fetter to Judge Landis,
of the Federal court in Chicago, in
forming him of the protection that
was given to the Chicago and Alton,
the proceedings against that road,
which were authorized by Judge Lan
dis, will be abandoned.
It is freely admitted by Mr. Bona
parte that the government cannot al- I
ways expect to punish both parties ’
to a rebate transaction. Immunity
is given in consideration of valuable
information imparted to the Federal j
investigators in the same way that
the punishment of a criminal indivi
dual is mitigated in return for evi
dence which he gives for the State
when a partner in crime is on trial. 1
This granting of immunity is re
garded by Mr. Bonaparte as an inci
dent of warfare against the trusts;
for he does not expect to go to bat
tle without getting some scars.
