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.

Former foes marched side by side in the military procession that formed a conspicuous part of a funeral cortege more than a mile in length. The drum corps and old soldiers were followed by the congressional delegations from the national capitol and in turn came state dignitaries and county and city officials, who pre ceded hundreds of motor cars and other vehicles containing friends and admirers of General Gordon. The procession passed from the court house where the body had rested at the headquarters of the United Sons of Confederate Vet erans since Thursday, to the Sec ond Presbyterian church, where a brief service was couducted by the Rev. R. Lin Cave, of Nash ville, chaplain general of the Con federate Veterans’ organization. The general procession ended at the church, the military guard of honor, pall-bearers and General Gordon’s official staff accompany ing the body to the cemetery.

' 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.
