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.

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.
