SATURDAY FEBRUARY 27 1909 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- ing the long distance Bell Telephone for business and social talks to Way- cross. There’s satisfaction in a per sonal talk, and the rate for 3 min utes is only 60 cents Call "Long Dis tance. Landers bill. 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 In the time you save and the satis faction you obtain, and the telephone will be cheap in comparison with ot/her agencies. * j* •i..j. .j. .t. 4- 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. \ ADVOCATED BY MR.

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.
