CON- President Taft Bent to Congress on Tuesday last a message designating the subjects of legislation which he de sires considered at the extra session. The message is as follows : “To the Senate and Mouse of Repre sentatives: 1 have convened the Con gress in extra session in order to en able it to give immediate consideration to the revision of the Dingley tariff act. Conditions affecting production, manufacture, and business generally, have so changed in the last twelve years as to require a readjustment and revision of the import duties imposed by that act, which, with the other sources of Covornment revenue, does nol furnish income enough to pay the authorized expenditures. Ry July 1 next the excess of expenses over re ceipts for the current fiscal year will equal 1(1100,000.000. “The successful party in t.hT late election is pledged to a revision of the tariff. The country, and the business community especially, expect it. The prospect of a change in the rates of import duties always causes a suspen sion or halt iii business, because of the uncertainty as to the changes to be made, and their effect. It is therefore of the highest importance that the new bill should be agreed upon and passed with as much speed as possible, consis tent with its due and thorough consid eration. “For these reasons I have deemed the present to be an extraordinary oc casion. within the meaning of the Con stitution, justifying and requiring the calling of an extra session. ' In my inaugural address I stated in a summary way the principles upon which, in my judgment, the revision of tariff should proceed, and indicated at least one new source of revenue that might be properly resorted to in order to avoid a future deficit. It is not necessary to repeat what 1 then said. “I venture to suggest that the vital business interests of the country re quire that the attention of the Con gress at this session be chiefly devoted to the consideration of the new tariff bill, and that the less time given to other subjects id' legislation at this ses sion, the belter for the country.” A new tariff bill was reported from the Ways and Means Committee on Wednesday, and the measure is now before Congress for its action. Al though the bill places many articles on the free list that are now heavily taxed, and reduces the tariff on others, the measure is not regarded with fa vor by a majority of the Democratic members, and it is certain to bring on a lengthy and heated debate. It is im possible to tell, therefore, just what chape the hill will assume when it has run the gauntlet of the House and Sen ate and is finally sent to the President for his approval. Hon. (I. Gunhy Jordan, of Columbus, who has been spoken of as a probable candidate for Governor next year, dis poses of the rumor in the following terse statement, viz: “Governor-elect Grown has not yet gone into office, and when he does he will have two years to serve. It is veiV likely that he will be renominated at the end of his term and elected, and that will throw the oppos ing candidate four years away from the office. A man can lie down and sleep and sober up several times before the four years are gone. ” There is no question but that Mr. Jordan would make a splendid Governor, his frank disavowal of any present ambition to the contrary notwithstanding, and there are many people in this section of the State who would be glad to help him to the office if he should conclude some day to try for it. LOCAL OVERFLOW. The recommendation of the late grand jury regarding the importance of bridging the Chattahoochee at Moore’s ferry has been very favorably commented upon by many of our citi zens, not only as to its desirability, but also as to the fairness and feasibility of the plan proposed. If Coweta and Carroll would unite in the undertaking the cost to each county would not ex ceed seven or eight thousand dollars, and arrangements could be made to pay the contractor in easy installments— say one-fourth upon the completion of the contract, and the remaining three- fourths in three annual installments These payments could be met without the least trouble or embarrassment, and both counties would be benefited. ThereJ? not a public bridge across the Chattahoochee nearer than Roswell- a distance of sixty miles from Moore’s ferry. _____________ An Explanation oj Our Clover Dap Sale. It sometimes happens with us, as with every merchant, that we have an accumulation of odds and ends of merchandise that we can afford to dis pose of at very low prices, provided it does not take up too much of our time. In inaugurating these "Clover Day Sales” it is our idea to devote a spe cial day from time to time to just such “housecleanirufc” The goods are cheap, but we can atrord to sell them that way, if we can get rid of them without interfering too much wilik the regular course of our business. We hope to make these “Clover Day Sales” a reg ular feature, so that a simple notice from us that a certain dav will be “Clover Day” will meet with a ready response. Come in Monday and help us “clean house.” P. F. Cuttino Co. Monday afternoon two colored boys, Ed Reese, (aged 14,) and Theodore Reese, (aged '>,*) went hunting in the woods about four miles east of town. They stopped to rest, and while resting (lie older boy, who had been carrying the gun, laid it down across a brush- heat). For the purpose of toying with the firearm, it is supposed, the younger boy, who was on the opposite side of the brush pile, reached across and caught hold of the muzzle of the gun and pulled it towards him. In doing so the hammer caught on a twig and the weapon was discharged, the entire load of shot entering the boy’s side and causing death almost instantly. Cor oner Cook held an inquest Tuesday morning, but all the evidence as well as the circumstances went to show that the killing was accidental, and a ver dict was rendered accordingly. Death of Mrs. Lynch Turner. After many weeks of suffering Mrs. Lynch Turner passed away Friday night. The announcement of her death caused the deepest sorrow in the com munity, and among her closer friends those who had known and loved her from childhood — the event was la mented as a personal bereavement. She was an estimable woman, warm hearted and loyal in her friendships, and religiously faithful to her duties as wife and--mother. Recalling her many lovable traits, and remembering her beautiful life, it is not surprising that her death should be so widely and so sincerely mourned. Besides her husband and one young daughter, she is survived by her moth er. Mrs. Ellin Faver. a brother, Mr. John D. Favor, of LaGrange and three sisters Mrs. 1'. L. Camp, Miss Kate Faver and Miss Jewel Faver, dll of this city. The funeral took place Sunday after- noonjat 3 o’clock, from the First Baptist church, and was largely attended. Ser vices were conducted by Rev. J. F. Singleton, assisted by all the ministers of the city, after which the remains were laid to rest in Oak Hill cemetery. A decision of interest to farmers of the State was handed down a few days ago bv the Supreme C >urt. If confirms the constitutionality of the Act of 1901 as amended in 1003. by which it is made a criminal and civil offense for a farm hand, tenant or cropper under contract to he lured away before such contract expires. The law was passed to protect farmers from the instability of negro labor, being a companion Act to the one making it a crime for a farm hand to quit a contract after de riving benefit therefrom. The annual statement of the Tobacco Trust shows that the surplus, after the payment of preferred dividends, was $18,550,334, equal t' 46.9 per cent, on the $40.24.2,400 common stock, which compares with 12.4 per cent in 1907. After th*' payment of $13,079,780 on the common stock, the surplus remain ing brought the total surplus up to $38,- 026,261. There was an increase of as sets in 1908 of $7,6826,00, making a total of $282,150,571. A young man of Columbus commit ted suicide the other clay by swallow ing a mixture of carbolic acid and coca cola. The despondent youth might have saved himself the trouble of mixing these potent poisons if he hadn't been in such a hurry to shuttle off his cares. Coca cola would, in time, have done the work just as effectively. The world is growing neither better nor worse, but the people in it —well, that’s another story. “The Three Chauffeurs." On Friday evening next, (26th inst.,) at the auditorium, a bright and inter esting comedy, “The Three Chauf feurs,” will be presented by the young people ol' Newuan, under the direction of Miss Inez Watson. The scene of the play is at a house party of girls, whose antics cause them to become involved in a ludicrous situation, arising from the mistaken identity of the three chauffeurs, one of whom is a married man, the host, of the house party. The proceeds of the performance will be used for the purchase of an up-to- date electric clock for the Newnan public schools. Tlie cast of the play is as follows : £ “Kitty Kennedy,” (the mimick- 5 ing girl,)—Miss Louise Gear 'S reld. a u “Harry Spencer,” (the host,) — % O. W. Passbvunt. H “Marvin Hunter,” (a lively J young man) — Maurice Spor.- ir cler. “Mrs. Harry Spencer,” (hostess of the house party)- Miss Frances Her ring.

Reserved seats, 50c. ; general admis sion, 3oc. According to the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury internal revenue re ceipts in the South have fallen off' amazingly since State prohibition laws were enacted in this section of the country. It is some satisfaction to know, however, that what the Govern ment is losing in taxis the people are saving and applying to better uses. “The Deestrick Skule." The “Deestrick Skule,” as pre sented at the auditorium Tuesday even ing, was about the best show Newnan has enjoyed since the war. The house was packed, and the audience was in an uproar of merriment from the mo ment the curtain rose until it went down on the closing scene. The proud and anxious mother, "Mrs, Honey suckle,” (Mrs. Tollie Kirby,) the gig gling girl, (Miss Carrie Bigham,) the “cry baby,” (Mrs. Garland Jones,) the fidgety girl, (Miss Lizzie Arnold,) the lovesick girl, (Mrs. W. Y. Atkin son,) the much worried sister and her young “buddy,” (Miss Mary Goodrum and Jack Powell, jr.,) the twins, (Mrs. Peter Murphey and Mrs. Olive Berry Lee,) the stuttering boy, (Tollie Kir by), the smalt boy, (Dan Manget,) Howard Glover’s composition on the “hoss,” Harvey North’s composition on “cats,” Mrs. Mac Manley’s soulful essay on “the cow,” Tom Carpenter’s eloquent oration on “The Boy That Stood on the Burning Deck,’’ Earnest Powel’s unquenchable thirst, “Doc” Norris’ labored efforts to master his primer lesson, Miss Annie I.izaie Wide- ner’s vocal solo and her cute encore, and Billy McBride’s general cussed ness—all went to make up an enter tainment which, for variety and di- vertisement. left nothing to bo desired. The roie of teacher was assumed by Bob Stanford, who met a difficult situ ation with as much courage and digni ty as could have been expected under the circumstances, and whose amiabil ity in the presence of the school com mittee was only exceeded by his irasci bility during school hours. Other promising “skollers” not mentioned above were Mrs. Lon Norris, Mrs. Dan Manget, Mrs. Earnest rowel, Mrs. Dave Cuttino, Miss Annie Powell, Miss Louise Peddy, Bob Lovejby, Jim’ Baxley, Oliver Wendell Passavant, and L. Carpenter. The school committee was composed of Mike Powell, Bill Post, Ben Kirby, “Bob” Mann find Ed Cole. The entertainment was given under the auspices of the ladies of tha First Methodist church, and we understand that the net receipts were about $300. Half of this amount went to Miss Bat- taile, under whose direction the play was produced. There have been so many requests from people who did not go out Tuesday evening, as well as from others, that the ladies are con sidering the advisability of repeating the entertainment on Friday night, April If this should be done there will be complete change of programme, and the "skule” enrollment will show a number of new “skollers.” BOONE-STRIPLING COMPANY “A Panacea for All Ills. 1 ’ The following is a verbatim copy of a letter received from a lac y who has used Horn of Salvation for tour years.
