Vernon, Georgia, Thursday Morning, May 13, 1909. 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 Point.

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.

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.

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. N • BUTLER MAN ATTACKED. Butler, Ga.

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.
