Mr. Spencer remarked that with the

thing the railroad must buy. Instead
of $0 per thousand foe: for bridge and

$16 to $20. or more: instead of $;<; per

comotives the cost is now from $ 16.000
to $20,000: Instead of $-175 for box cars,

was attended by more than three hun

home determined to connect Macon
with the Seaboard. He was at first
thought visionary and an impractic
able dreamer, and was even ridiculed,
but unconquerable resolution and en
ergy sustained him. He wrote a se
ries of letters on the subject of build
ing a railroad from Macon to the sea.
Gradually other minds became Inter
ested and joined with him in the Leg
islature in getting the project under
way. A writer says: “The then Sen

opposed him. and it was not until the
Hort. William W. Gordon was elected
that Chatham lent her aid. and the bill
was passed as the ‘Canal and Railroad
Company.’ On Dr. Baber's return to

him, and later an offer of the presi

It's Up to Bailey
to Make a “Show”
AUSTIN. Jan. 16.—In the Senate to
day a resolution was adopted -calling on
the Attorney General for any papers
in his possession in connection with
the charges against Senator Bailey's
alleged connection with the "Wnters-
Pierce Oil Company. An amendment
was added providing that all such pa
pers should be exhibited only in execu
tive session.
This afternoon at the House's order
Attorney General Davidson appeared in
the House with the documentary evi
dence which It is charged implicates
Senator Bailey with the readmission of
the Waters-Pierce Oil Company to
Texas, after it had been ousted for
violation of anti-trust laws of the
State. Senator Bailey's friends ob

I have sown will bring forth fruit for

Usually when snakes begin to move
about the winter is past and warm
vapors creep over the throbbing bosom
of the soil; the earth is undergoing the
process of revivification and the re
storation of grass, foliage and flowers
is at hand. As illustrative of the very
mild weather now prevailing in this
section I will tell the following snake
story: A day or two ago Aider-
man Barnes and his young son, Em
mett, were hunting quail in Houston
County and Emmett felt something
strike his leg. He looked down and
was surprised to see very near him a
large rattlesnake in a coil. Etnraetl
called to his father, who was a little
distance off, and told him of it. Al
derman Barnes said "kill him!” Em
mett shot the snake twice, 'killing it.
Alderman Barnes was astonished at
the size of the snake: It measured six
feet in length, had sixteen rattles, and
was as large around as Alderman
Barnes' arm.* It Is believed that the
snake in coiling struck young Emmett
on the leg and it was this that at
tracted his attention. Emmett, no
doubt, had a narrow elscape from death
for the snake was preparing to attack
him, and if he had been bitten the
poison would have done its work as the
nearest doctor was miles away. Later
Mr. Barnes and his son killed another
man of Kershaw, S. C. "I had run
down in weight to 135 pounds, and
coughing was constant, both by day
and by night. Finally I began taking
Dr. King's New Discovery, and con
tinued this for about six months,
when my cough and lung trouble were
entirely gone and t was restored to my
normal weight, 170 pounds.” Thou

SOUTH CAROLINA TO
INVESTIGATE DISPENSARY.
COLUMBIA. S. C. Jan. 17.—The
General Assembly today passed a res
olution providing for another investi
gation of the affairs of the State dis
pensary. The committee, which is
,.*m posed of three members of the
House and two from the Senate, is
expected to make its report within ten
days. The appointment of this new
committee is the result of a state
ment by Dispensary Commisisoner W.
O. Tatus. who alleges that the pres
ent board of directors has overstocked
the dispensary with unsaleable goods
against his advice. The old investi
gating crmirittee. which has been la
boring for two years and unearthed
I much irregularity is expected to make ,
I its report at the present session.
Mr. Spencer painted this bright pic
ture: "The South has entered upon a
period of increased production in agri
culture and in manufactures, and of
general industrial and commercial ac
tivity. such' as her best friends and
most enthusiastic prophets had scarce
ly dreamed of fifteen years ago. With
in that period the cash value of her
cotton crop has doubled, the amount
of pig iron produced at her furnaces
has increased enormously, and the pro
duct of her* coal mines has increased
three-fold. Cotton factories have
sprung up within her borders to the
extent that more of her cotton crop is
now manufactured on her own soil
than in all the mills of New England.
The total value of her annua! manu
factures now aggregates nearly eigh
teen hundred millions in value. The
total value of her agricultural pro
ducts is now over seventeen hundred
millions per annum.”
j I read an interesting local article in
: yesterday’s Telegraph concerning a lost
; dog. as showing the potency of adver-
i Using. Let me relate three instances
! that occurred in my own experience
| illustrative of the power of advertlse-
1 ments.
Pome time ago a well known young
ladv, a College Hill belle, informed me
that her canary had escaped from Its
cage and she asked if it would be
worth whilp to .advertise for the bird.
I replied that it may have flown Into
some one's house .and been caught and
the person seeing the advertisement
would return the bird to her. So 1
wro'te th“ advertisement.'and while the
printer was setting it un the canary
flew through the open window of th"
office and- perched itself upon the type
case, where the compositor was at
work. He reached un his hand and
caught the bird and de!j v c rf ,d same
to me. and I gave it to the hannv
young ladv. I supnse some dieVev-
bird told the canary that an advertise
ment was out for it. and the canary
natur.allv concluded -then that the davs
of its liberty were over and It might
just as well come in and give Itself
up.

AYASiriXGTON, Jan. 17.—"Th*
Democratic party is as eternal as Jus
tice with which it is synonymous, as
indestructible as truth, for which it
stands," was the keynote of a speech
made in the House by Mr. Shep
pard, o£ Texas. For an hour and a
hajf Jlr. Sheppard held the attention
of the House while it had under con
sideration the District of Columbia ap
propriation bill.
Incident to his coming out for Bryan
for the Democratic nomination of 1908,
Mr. Sheppard paid his compliments to
the Republican party and especially to
the "stand patters." Speaking of the
“stand pat” principles of the Repub
lican party he. said:
Sheppard on 'tStand Pat."
"Accustomed to limitless and per
petual power the Republican party has
drifted into a complete paralysis, a
hopeless Inertia. Stand pat is mere
ly another expression for dry rot.
Swollen with the spoils of office, cor
pulent with the wine of power, dis
tended with the dropsy of corruption,
the Republican party drags its huge,
inflated body across the halls of State,
helpless among the trophies of the
past, before the problems of the pres
ent and the retribution of the future,
while its coward lips wall out ’stand
pal!’ ‘stand pa:!’ although the pillage
of the people never ceases; ‘stand pat - ;
although the Republican party refuses
to lighten the tariff taxes which It
first imposed as temporary burden in
the years of war to double and re
double as a permanent tyranny. In the
years of peace: ‘stand pat.’ although
the tariff law itself provides for a re T
duction of its charges; ‘stand pat.’ al
though the enormous rates Incite the
antagonism of the world and 'mperil
our foreign trade: ‘stand pat.’ although
McKinley pleaded from the doorstep of
the grave for lower tariffs: ‘stand pat.’
although patriotic Republicans of Mas
sachusetts and all the country In gen
eral pray for less oppressive sched
ules; ‘stand pat.’ although our loftiest
principles, the very soul of l.he repub
lic. the principle, in the name ot which
our country was consecrated in the
blood and tears of patriots has been
abandoned in Repuhlicatt policies
abroad: ‘stand pat, - although the cur
rency situation is black with impend
ent danger: ‘stand pat,’ although the
expenditures of the public moneys
have become a riotous dissipation, a
wanton waste.
Mr. Sheppard said that it was a
curious and significant fact which he
regarded a great tribute to the vitality
of Democratic principles that the
President and the Republican party,
after receiving in 1904 the largest na
tional majority In American history,
could pass no legislation except legis
lation of a non-partisan or perfunctory
character in the Fifty-ninth Congress,
and that the railroad bill, the pure food
bill, the meat inspection bill were non-
partisan measures.
Branches Into Rate Question.
He said: "It is evident that if ef
fective rate legislation is to be had, the
Republican party must be banished
from control. The work has only be
gun. Roosevelt himself cannot stay
the tide he has unwittingly helped to
set In motion. His attempt to secure*
popularity with measures which Bryan
and the Democracy originated is like,
the endeavor of a pigmy to steSl the
thunderbolts of Jove." Mr. Sheppard
had something to say about the Pres
ident and simplified spelling. He said:
“The monarchinl Impulse is seen In
the Republican President who. tries to
regulate everything in the country from
the size of the families to the method
of spelling. When he gets through
with Congress he brandishes the hlg
stick above the cradle and the dic
tionary. The Republican party In Its
wild career has piled Pelion on. Ossa,
Root on South America. Taft on Cubm
and Roosevelt on Noah Webstajl
Since the President has begun to r»*
form the dictionary the American peo r
pie are preparing to go him one bet
ter and to give him an Instance of slm-r
plified spelling he may not appreciate;'
they are going to spell President
Bryan."
Mr. Sheppard was accorded a. great
ovation, Republicans and Democrats
alike congratulating him.
