MAY COMPROMISE
THE WOOL BILL.
Washington, Aug. 14.- Presi
dent Taft will be given an op-1
portunity to veto the wool bill.
This was assured today when
the senate and house conferees
reached a compromise agreement
on the measure fixing a duty of
29 per cent tin raw wools, with a
corresponding reduction on manu
factured goods. The agreement
assures the bill’s adoption.
The agreement was reached
at an open meeting, said to have
been the first of its kind ever
held. The house classification
w;is accepted by the conferees.
That lh»; report upon the meas
ure would be submitted in the
house and senate today and
agreed to by each body was made
certain by the fact that ('hair
man Underwood and Senator I,a-
Follette had each consulted their
followers and learned that this
compromise could he put thru,
in the house it was expected to
command the support of practi
cally all of the Democrats and
between 20 and DO insurgents.
In the senate it was said to
have the approval of all the
Democrats and insurgents and
perhaps two or three who are
classed as standpatters. This as
sured a substantial majority in
each house, so that when the
measure goes to the president he
will, in vetoing it, as it is ex
pected he will do. run counter to
a large majority of l>oth houses.
There was a general feeling
when the conferees met Senator
Penrose was the only absentee
that there would he an agree
ment reached. At the outset
Mr. Underwood offered to accept
27-1-2 per cent and Senator La-
Follette came down from the
proposition in his bill of 35 per
cent to 30 per cent ad valorem.
A long wrangle followed and
finally Senator Bailey suggested (
the difference. Chairman Under- ,
wood advanced the proposition
that if the senate would accept i
his classification, he would agree
to 29 per cent ad valorem on raw
wool. Senator UaFollette met
these terms. Thereupon the con
ferees agreed and the bill was
taken up paragraph by paragraph
for adjustment of duties on wool- |
en manufactures to correspond ,
with tlu' rate on raw wool.
The bill as it passed the house 1
originally placed all wool in one
class and fixed a duty of 20 per
cent. The UaFollette compromise ;
fixed two classes, the rate on
high-grade wind In'ing 20 per ,
cent and on coarse wool, used
principally in carpets, 10 |>er
cent.
An agreement has been reach
ed on the free list bill. This will
lie taken up by the conferees to
morrow and will require much
time in adjustment.
SAYS COBB IS CAROLINIAN.
Asheville. N. (\. Aug. 15. H. 1
Taylor Cobb, an uncle of Ty i
Cobb, who visited here Ttours- |
day, said that Cobh was l>orn on
Moccasin creek in Cherokee coun- j
ty, North Carolina, and that he
did not move to Georgia with his
father until he was 10 years old. (
He attended the village school
at Heilville, Uncle Taylor said,
for several years before going to
the Cracker state, hence he is a
North Carolinian and not a
“Georgia peach,” as has boon
touted.

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, AUGUST 17, 1911.
GEORGIA HAS PRODUCED
A GIANT-SIZE BABY.
Mt. Airy, Ga., Aug. 14.—The
largest baby ever known in Geor
gia, whose parents live here, con
. tinues to grow and now at two
years and three months of age
weights considerably over 100
pounds.
Mr. and Mrs. James Aleck
Cody, parents of the giant two
year-old, have received several
letters of inquiry about their
baby, whose picture with weight
and measurement appeared in
the Constitution last September.
Many ask for a picture of the
baby, who was two years old
February 13.
J. P. Shows, of Bratner, La.,
especially has taken a great deal
of interest in keeping up with the
child’s development as he grows
older.
The child has grown in propor
tion within the past six months
with the record he made in his
first baby days.
With the first indication of his
abnormal growth, his parents
consulted a physician and James
Adolph was put under his care '
for some length of time. All es- ,
forts to keep the baby on a diet
suitable for one of his age, prov- '
ed as unsuccessful as the phy
sician’s treatment to keep him
normal in flesh growth, and any
tendency beyond the ordinary ,
baby.
He now weighs more than 100
pounds. He is 39 inches in heigt,
barefoot. His measurement are
as follows:
Around head, 24 1-2 inches.
Neck, 14 inches.
Bust, 33 inches.
Waist, 3C> inches.
Around arm above elbow, 12
inches.
Wrist, 8 inches.
Across hand, above thumb,
6 1-2 inches.
Around first finger, near hand,
2 1-2 inches.
Around thigh, 25 inches.
Al>ove knee, 16 inches.
Below knee, 13 inches.
Ankle, 9 inches.
Around foot, 8 1-2 inches.
length of foot, fi 1-2 inches.
Across shoulders, 15 inches.
His strength is well in keeping
with his size. He can draw his
older brother in a wagon made
with heavy block wheels with the
greatest ease.
One of his chiefest amusements
is to rock in an ordinary rocking
chair, which he fills comfortably.
If candy is added to his pleasure,
he is perfectly contended.
While he appreciates the end
less little attentions a baby re
ceives, he has missed much of
this, as but few members of his
family could, with any degree of
comfort to him or themselves,
lift him to their knees and carry
him about.
He sleeps well and is perfectly
healthy. He is very fair, with
bright, clear blue eyes and cheeks
like roses. He has a sunny dis
position, and rarely ever frets at
the curiosity of those who go to
see him.
His appetite is more like a
grown person than a baby. For
breakfast, he will eat three and
four biscuits, with bacon gravy,
butter and a great deal of syrup:
two glasses of buttermilk, and if
allowed will drink two cups of
coffee. Between breakfast and
dinner he will eat two more bis
cuits with butter and syrup. For ]
dinner he can eat a large plate of j
greens or any kind of vegetables
with boiled bacon, corn bread,
biscuit and a whole pie if he can
get it. with two glasses of butter
milk. He eats again between
dinner and supper, and his sup
per is in keeping with breakfast
and dinner.
sor 6 doses “(UK?” will cure
iany .case of Chills and Fever.
Price, 25c.
