NUMBER 222
SPOKE ON BILL
SCORED THE ‘SO CALLED TRUST”
AND THE ADULTERATION OF
NAVAL STORES.
Washington, Feb. 26.—Senator Tali-
\ aferro, of Florida in the Senate spoke
at length upon his bill to prevent the
manufacture, sale or transportation
of adulterated, misbranded, or falsely
graded naval stores, having especial!;
reference to rosin and turpentine.
Mr. Taliaferro claimed adulteration
in naval stores had become so general
as to drive out of business firms deal
ing in the genuine articles.
Mr. Taliaferro charged parties to the
so-called "trust" with having practiced
various offenses such as false grading
and giving short weight, manipulation
of market for turpentine and rosin be
low the cost of production, coercion
and ruin of their competitors and
"about every "other reprehensible prac
tice adopted by those who prey upon
trade."
LIVELY DEBATES
THE RACE
TO MAKE INVESTIGATION.
Washington, D. C. Feb. 26.— Both
housese of congress met at 11.
In the house a resolution was adopt
ed to make an investigation and re-
port as to the advisability of expung
ing from the record the speech made
yesterday by Mr. Cook (Colorado)
attacking the President.
In the senate Mr. Tillman Intrduced
a resolution instructing the commit
tee on postofflees to inquire and report
whether the recent message of the
president forwarding to congress the
report of the home commission should
not be excluded from the mails as mat
ter improper for transmission.
PRECIPITATED BY CONGRESSMAN
CHARLES G. EDWARDS YES
TERDAY.
Washington, Feb. 26.—Representa
tive Edwards precipitated a lively de
bate in the house last night when he
moved to strike from the sundry civil
bill a secti6n appropriating $93,000 for
Howard University, a negro college in
Washington.
Messrs. Garner, of Massachusetts
Mann of Illinois, Campbell of Kansas, I
and other Republicans, rushed to the
defense of the negro, and yelled "race
prejudice" and discrimination until
they wore hoarse.
At the instance of Minority Leader
Clark, who saw the hopelessness of
the fight, Mr. Edwards finally with
drew his motion, but not until Mr.
Sims of Tennessee, had moved the
Democrats to applause by reading the
letter of the inaugural committee rela
tive to the appointment of honorary
escorts for President Taft. The let*
ter specifically provides that all aides
must be white. Mr. Sims suggested
that this was a discrimination against
the negro of which ho had heard noth
ing.
The letter was printed in the Rec
ord, and the Republicans thereby put
on record as discriminating against
the negro.
AUGUSTA WANTS
TAFTIN WINTER
PROPOSES THAT JHE GOVERN
MENT BUILD Wl'NTER HOME
FOR PRESIDENT IN THAT
CITY.
Augusta. Ga.. Feb. 26.—Secretary
Johnson, of the Augusta Chamber of
Commerce following out life sugges
tion of local newspapers and numerous
prominent citizens, has directcda
telegram to Congressman Thomas W.
Hardwick, at Washington, urging him
to introduce an amendment to the
Many residents of Moultrie are use-

pending, whereby
quarter of a million dollars* appropri
ation to build the president a summer
home qn the Hudson, will be doubled
and the same amount sCnt for a winter
residence in Augusta.
This is the first definite step taken,
although the matter has been frequent
ly discussed. When President Taft
was here, somebody mentioned the
idea to him, and he seemed to take
kindly to the proposition. He was so
charmed with Augusta's climate and
hospitality that it would seem he will
favor the bill, should congress see ita
way clear to setting aside half a mil
lion with which to build homes for the
head of the nation.
GETTING READY FOR
THE INAUGURATION
GREAT ACTIVITY NOW GOING ON
IN THE CITY OF WASHINGTON
Many people have the erroneous Im
pression that the cost of long distance
Bell Telephone messages is excessive.
Count the words yau can speak in
three minutes and see how much a
telegraph message of equal length, to
the same point, would cost. Thon figure

Washington, I). C., Feb. 27.—There
is something in the very air on Penn
sylvan la avenue that would tend to
Indicate something big is about
pulled off.
Everywhere there are carpenters
working. Stands are being hastily con
structed in front «if the Capitol, where
the Inauguration proper is to take
place, in front of the White house, and
on every vacant spot along the avenue.
Everywhere there are Judications
that somebody is getting ready for
something. In~tho windows overlook
ing the great thoroughfare through
which the big parade is to march from
the Capitol to the White House sings
hung which read that for the
small sum of front $5 to $100 yoc may
occupy these windows on March 4.
Another evidence that something is
going to happen is the placarding of
historic spts in the Natinal Capitol
For instance, one card on a small, two-
story* red brick building on Ponnsyl
vnnin avenue Informs you that the
Supreme Court held a sesion there af
ter the British had destroyed the Caj>-
itol along about 1812. There is scar
cely a single block that is without
some historic interest, and without a
placard.
There is even going to he an animal
show on March 4, to say nothing of
racks, side shows ntid all the
enterprises that follow
-rowds.
And the inauguration ceremonies
will bo a success, if tiio lavish oxpen-
dltm# of money and time and pains
count for anything. There will bo a
parade that, it is promised, will rival
any pageant ever witnesod In Wash
ington. with a crowd of 200,000 visitors
to enjoy it. \

Warm Springs, Ga., I
Mr. Editor: —
Recently quite a number of editor
ials have appeared In the Georgia pa
pers advocating better protection for
gnnie. It is very gratifying to the
sportsmen of this stale to see this
support of the movement on tho part
of the press, knowing full well tho
alue of such help.
Having discussed this question with
many sportsmen and farmers In var
ious purts of tho state tell you of the
tilings needed to be included in tho
Georgia Gamn laws, and for tho en
forcement thereof. 1st. Tho salo of
gaino should bo prohibited. 2nd. Open
•ason for quail shortened, to begin
December 1st instetad of July 1st. 3rd.
The payment of a license; for one
county, one dollar; for state, threo dol
lars; for non-residents, fifteen dollars.
Except that no license be required of
a person or hTa family for shooting
gnnie on his own lands, or of a renter
or his family for shooting on the lands
rented by him. 4th. Prohibit tho hunt
ing on lands of others except with
written iKrmissiou. 5th. A state game
warden, who with tho assistance of
county and district wardens, shall en
force nil the provisions of tills law, and
Tor this purpose tho funds arising from
the Issuing licenses shall bo used.
Also that purl of the fines arising from
convictions under this law, be paid
to thu person bringing about tho cou
victions.
Of course Hie object of theso meas
ures is to stop the killing of so much
of the game as bus heretofore been
ilone, otherwise there can be no In
tense, hut on the contrary the quan
tity of gjme will continue to decreaso
it year unless such restrictions as
above mentioned, uro enforced.
In tills connection I wish to call at
tention to the benefits which will ho
gained by the laud-owners ami farmers
generally. Hurely all land owners will
appreciate a law which will prevent
uiidesirablo persons from hunting on
their lands, without written permis
sion. Tills one clause will put a stop
to most of the/hunting by negroes,
and of a grent many whites who would
not" be ablo to get such wrltt
mits, and would result in better atten
tion to regular wrtrk.
The benefits of theso provisions will
lie greater to the farmers Ilian to town
people. The people who live in the
country, and I am one of them, know
o what extent the IrabU of tramping
bout with guns has grown among the
egrous, asd ninny idle white people
, who, If at work more regularly would
nl th ' 8 j liu Ions anilcsirnlilo.
The provisions above mentioned are
pr cilcally ttie same as of :ho Alabama
law which lins been In force two years.
.1 have questioned muny Alabama peo
ple about It, and nil of them have ex
pressed tltdr approval of the law, and
intend that It shall continue, or if any
changes are made, they will ho
make It still stronger. Mr. Wallace
the state game warden of Alnbamu.hax
Infromed me that ganio of ail kinds is
now Increasing in Alabama; that re
ports from all sections of tho state
Hay the negroes have nearly quit hunt
ing and much more regular about
work; that tho sale of cheap guns ban
decreased more than one-half, and also
the sale of black powder shells.
Youri truly,
v Chas. L. Davis.
