"Busy Izzy” Comes Back in Style.
George Sidney’s melange of music and
mirth began a week’s engagement at the
Lyric last night, greeted by a crowded
house of enthusiasts.
Changed about a bit in spots, the of
fering is just as funny as ever, and Sid-
n< is backed heavily for a strong run
1 his well-known partner, Carrie \Yeb-
'"■r. who, In her own particular line of
< umedy, is as funny as Izzy—pardon. 1
Sidney himself.
The bunch of chorus girls accompany
ing "Busy Izzy" is above the ordinary in j
b oks, in shape and in dress, the fcHter
being especially .attractive. And they
s ‘ n g and dance with extraordinary vi
vacity and apparent relish, which is a]
matter of remark at the fag-end of the i
season.
Ceurge Sidney has been an Atlanta j
mvorite a number of years, as has Miss j
A ebber, and their return in the well- ;
known comedy is looked forward t<> with i
a Pleasure which never meets disap- ,
pointment.

before the Supreme Court, and prob
ably will be decided at the May term.

Railroad Commission to force the
railroads to pull the mileage on the
trains instead of making the holders
oi mileago^exchange at station win
dows for tickets.
The Commission made the ruling
and was ^njoined by the railroads.
The Commission and the traveling
men hold that the injunction is ille

UPPER SANDUSKY, OHIO, April
22.—Several cur as were reported at
the Our Lady of Consolation Shrine
at Carey. Ohio, to-day, where the an
nual pilgrimage is on this week. The
attendance indicates that, the record
crowd at last year’s jubilee will be ex
cceded.
Col. Robert J. Lowry. President of
th«- Lowry National Bank of Atlanta,
has written the following letter to
the New York Herald, urging caution
in tariff revision:
The country awaits the carry
ing out of the policy of the dom
inant party with the sincere hope
that it may be carried out with
out tile economic disadvantages
which might be entailed by hasty
or ill considered legislation.
With special regard to the pro
posed tariff revision there is no
doubt but that many changes
may be made which will be wel
comed by the members of all
parties as advisable and good.
Still, notwithstanding this fact,
advocates of tariff revision
should handle the matter in hand
with the utmost care and delib
eration, and not hastily pass a
bill which might disastrously af
fect established interests, which
now have the right to claim tariff
protection.
South Manufacturing Section.
Take into consideration, for
instance, the altered business
conditions in the Southern States,
which, as every one knows, have
undergone many radical indus
trial changes in the past decade
or so; as also the Western States,
many of ^hich have undergone
material commercial changes.
Take the concrete case, for In
stance, of the State of Lou
isiana. The advent of tjre Mex
ican boll weevil Into that State
completely paralyzed the cotton
raising there, and it necessarily
had to fall back on other crops,
principally sugar cane. In view
of that change, to put sugar on
the free list now would serious
ly hamper the growth of that in
dustry. and virtually reduce it be
low the mark where the cultiva
tion of sugar cane would longer
be profitable.
Free Sugar Detrimental.
The same thing would apply
directly to the sugar industry
in the Western States. If the
Tariff reform advocates should
put sugar on the free list they
would benefit the consumer but
a trifle comparatively, and would,
on the other hand, put thousands
of people and hundreds of plants
and plantations out of business.
What individual cares for the
few cents additional a pound
that he pay* for his sugar? We
pay it. and we don’t know the
difference; less do we care; but
we should care and give out-
selv^s grave concern about the
possible destruction of the sugar
industry if we clamor for and
get a few cents a pound reduc
tion on this commodity by its be
ing put on the free list.
Entitled to Protection.
Take as a further lesson the
South as a whole. She has be
come a manufacturing section,
md as such she is now entitled
to the same protection that New
England as a manufacturing sec
tion has enjoyed for a century.
Factories of all kinds are all over
. ,ir Southern country, and new
ones are being erected continual
ly and those industries should be
protected. The South, which as
a consumer has paid tribute to
the New England section for a
century, is now coming into its
own as a producer and manufac
turer, and she is certainly en
titled to the same adequate pro
tection which New England has
heretofore enjoyed.
Just at the time when the
South can make her industries
pay the proposed tariff revision,
unless judiciously handled, may
subject much of her product to
competition with cheap foreign
labor and be the direct means of
allowing foreign manufacturers
coming in here and underselling
and putting out of business many
of our established industries,
which are at this time our pride
and the result of years of en
deavor.
