Hark to the hurried question of de spair: “Where is rrv pass?"—an e*-bn answers, "Where?" On a pass which I saw yesterday appeared the legend: “Not good for- any part of..an interstate trip." This means that the owner of the pass can not travel on it to the confines of this Stats and then take un a continuous journey into another State. It is not believed that the railroads have yet furnished passes to the members ' of tlie incoming Legislature and it is not known if they will. The shades of night were falling fast.

The day was a fitting TAMS— Fancy a short railroad, and he returned 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 ator from Chatham County openly 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 the Legislature he was j enthusiastically received—<toreh-light processions and illuminations greeted him, and later an offer of the presi dency of the branch of the railroad bank in Mac-on wax made him.

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 sands of persons are healed every year.

And now in passing it may be well to state there are 220.000 miles of railway In the United States. so early the snakes evidently believed the vernal season was on deck.

October 25. 1906. The special subject was “The Relationship of the Railroads to the People.!' It was the finest argument on this phase of the railway question that I ever read. The speech is called “The Last Message" because Mr. Spencer never unless Senator Bailey could look over j delivered another address In the South i: at the same time as the members if as his voice was soon after forever the House.

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. TRUSTEES SOLDI EF.8’ HOME HELD ANNUAL MEETING ATLANTA. Jan. 17.—The trustees of the Soliders' Home held a meeting today. All of the officials of the horn made their reports, after which the off! cers of the Home were re-elccled with out change. The work of constructing th hospital will commence at once. The plans have been adopted and bids will be asked for without delay. Tue hospital is greatly needed, and has been ever since the Home was opened, as over 50 per cent of the inmates come to the institution in a condition that would justify their be'- ing placed in it. GA Here’s another one: asked me to insert an for his straved ponv. of the Rutland district.

Ala., Jan 17.—A windy shot explosion in Pratt city shaft No. 1, of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company this afternoon seri- usly injured three men and set fire 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.
