THE COMING SOUTH.
The foment student of the fit
turn development of Georgia in
meat profoundly impressed by the
stable foumlntion for tremendous.
■
wealth a Horded bv the state’* r<-'
sources in two luiidaoieiital in-j
dustric*: Agriculture and matiu-j
fneturing. The crude products;
of the soil alone bring annually a
Jtirg-- *iit» into the state, although
it* present dimensions are but an
earnest of tli i next one or two dec
ades.
The other item of manufacturing
also relatively in its infancy.
So varied and endless are the pos
sibilities or Georgia in this di
rection that no man may say in
to what channel* anti to what ex
tent manufacturing in thin state
will eventtmliv broaden,
t)ne natural advuntage that 1*
going to exert a decisive effect on
ihi' latter phase is limit less water
powers of ! !iis state.
The Cost ifution carried rec'iit-j
ly a d spa toll from Columbus, t !a
containing a -uiniiim zed rejiort j
of the two veal ' .survey of eng
iieers alone, the t liuttiihooeliee
river between tie ' I ! y and NVo.-t

Their finding.- were to the ell’oct
that the water power developed
between the-e two p nits was
second only in volume and toroo
to that ot the titaiitic entnnuts
of Niagara Full*. I is estimated
thut the energy dormant along
this stretch approximates 100 000
horse-power. These rights are
controlled practically by one cor
poral ion, which plans to develop
them to keep pace with the expan
sion of the industries in and ar
ound Columbus.
The company already has three
plants in operation, one of them
*0 large that it furnishes power for
nine cot ton mills. Now that the
projectors know the exact value
of tin* powers in their control,
and the points at winch they may
be most effectively developed,
ot her plants are already under
contemplation.
Tin* presence and the ultimate j
harness of these tremendous natu
ral forces mean that Columbus is
destined to become one of the
greatest manufacturing centers in
the I’nited States —the Kali River
of the south, with the unmeasura
ble advantage of actual contact
with the cotton fields and water
transportation to the gulf.
The possibilities ot Columbus,*
exo-t in varying degive in mnnv
portions ot Georgia. Already
plans for development ha\<* either
been materialized or are actually
under wav in more than one m
stance, she utilization of the
Chattahoochee at Gain. - 11a is an
example. The falls of t-he river
are being made to turn the spin
dies of cotton nu s nbviulv m

fAFT AND BEN TILLMAN
IN A MERRY INTERCHANGE.
Washington, May D.—President
Taft w 1 ; entertained at a banquet
tendered him by the citizens of
Washington, under tho auspices
of the board of trade nnd the
clmnibur of commerce. More than
, three hundred representuitve bus
ues* men <>t the nutional capital
were present, and an urray of
prominent in public life were pre
sent as guests.
When the president was intro
duced, Senator Tillman strode in
to the Imll toward the president.
The latter greeted him,and grasp
ed Ins hand cordially, remarking:
“Hello, senator, what ure you
trying to pass yourself off for to
night?”
Tillman laughingly rejoined:
‘Oh, I just drifted in here to see
hew you would behave yourself
among the common people.”
This merry interchange provok
ed much amusement among the
guests. President Taft made a
brief speech, during, which he de
clared he was strongly in favor of
retaining the municipial form of
government tor the District, of
Columbia, hut that he had not
reached any conclusion as to whut
1 ■ would recommend to congress
about the real point of conten
tion, wlicth ft r shall be a governor
or three commissioners as at pre
sent. Die president declared him
self unalterably opposed to the
pi m for suffrage in the district.

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR— THURSDAY, MAY 13. VMfi)
,! T ARIFF SHADOW
OVER CONGRESS.
Washington, May 9.—The tariff
bill will continue to receive th>
undivided attention of the senate
this week. Ostensibly, the amend
ments to the different schedules
1
will be before the senate, hut as
last week, there will doubtless be
much getierul discussion of tlm
. whole tariff question. The bill
. has aroused an unlooked-for op
ii position among republican sena
tors. The generul opinion is that
• jin the end the finance committee
: j will prevail, hut apparently the
1 end is still afar ofY.
)l There is again talk of lengthen
, ing the hours of the daily sittings,
) ! but there is feur thut if this course
r is resorted to it will have the effect
• of antagonizing to a still gruffer
! degree the opponents of the mens
! ure and of creating delay rather
j than expediting the measure.
’ j There remain many topics for
j consideration. The lead schedule
jis still largely indisposed of. and
'twill lie under consideration when
the bill is take up tomorrow. Sen
ator Clay has prepared an exliaus
. j -v
tive speech in opposition to the
1
sugar schedule, hut it is doubtful
' whether that schedule will be
reached during the present week.
1 In the house the Philippines
tariff bill will be reported tomor
row, and there will be an effort to
l consider it on Thursday. There is
little or no opposition to it.
Owing to the shape which the
' I debate in the senate has assumed,
' most of the prophets are extend
ing considerably tho day for final
amendment. Fome senators are
placing the date us late as August
1. It will probably not, however,
' j lie later than July 1.

■ visit to Columbus, and on enter
■jing his room with a lamp in his;
I . j
• hand, the lamp was shot from his !
■ j hand and one of his fingers shot
: entirely off. Wiggins then grap
-1 pled with his assailant. A des
■ perate struggle ensued, in which
the assasin tired three times, none
•j of the shots taking effect. The
> assasin then beat Wiggins' head
f almost in a pulp with the pistol
(with which lie had done the
|
• shooting. The room m which the
