Washington, April 2.—Judge Adam son thinks it hardly fair that the Washington dispatches should repre sent those voting against the Tawney amendment as being against free lum ber. He says: "Many of us were willing to dispense with the revenue derived from lumber and put it all on the free list in the hope that it would help preserve the forests and regulate the streams and in some parts of the country make lum ber a little cheaper, especially as the Democratic platform demanded free lumber. In good faith we voted for free lumber at every opportunity. In the committee of the whole, on the 6th inst., we voted for the DeArmond amendment and the Clark amendment, both providing free lumber. Un the 9th inst. we voted on roll call in the House for both of those amendments. "The Tawney amendment did not propose free lumber, but was a mon grel proposition, with the most perni cious feature of New England protec tion. It combined in one proposition free raw material and protection for the finished product. Some of us re fused to indorse that doctrine in lum ber or anything else. It proposed to admit raw lumber free and tax manu factured lumber. It would have suited me just as well if it had been reversed, so as to admit manufactured lumber free and tax raw lumber, but it would have suited a great deal better if it had made all free.” Card of Thanks. We take this method of returning thanks to the good people of Luther ville for their kindness to us during the illness of our dear husband and father, and for the many words of sympathy given us in our bereavement. We trust the future will bring a time when we may, in some way, show our thoughtfulness to them. Mrs. T. N. Wortham, J. T. Wortham, Mrs. E. E. McWilliams, Mrs. J. A. Martin, Mrs. T. C. Wilson, Mrs. F. M. Martin, Mrs. V. E. Braswell. Lutherville, Ga., April 20th. Swept Over Niagara.
