This Will Be Benefit of Reciprocity
Says Nelson, of Minnesota in De
bate.
Washington, June 20—Statements
in the senate by Senator Heyburn, of
Idaho, that “whatever we have taken
from England has been taken at the
point of a bayonet,” produced the
only tense moment of today’s short
debate on the Canadian reciprocity
bill. Senator Heyburn’s remark,
which he later explained, extended
only to government acquisitions, was
challenged by Senator Bacon, of Geor
gia, as a “grave matter,” in view
of the pending arbitration negotia
tions with England.
“We have more to enjoy that we
have received from England than from
all the rest of the world put together,”
said Senator Bacon.
Senator Gallagher brought on the
controversy by asking if this nation
did not owe more to England in the
way of reciprocity than it did to
Canada, because of the free trade
market that England has always giv
en to this country and the rest of the
Senatof Tfefcon, of Minnesota,* de
clared that hfe only hope of benefit
from the Canadian reciprocity agree
ment was that it might lead to the
annexation of Canada. He met Sena
tor Gallagher’s argument that reci
procity ought to be given to Mexico
and all other nations if given to Can
ada. by saying that this country
could not hope to annex the rest of
the world.
“Canadian annexation at this time
is an iridescent dream” said Senator
Gallagher, who is a Canadian by
birth..
“I am convinced,” added Senator
Gallagher, “that when this bill passes
there are many republicans on this
side who will join democrats in kick
ing out foundation stones of the pro
tective tariff system. We will be for
tunate if the whole structure of pro
tection does not fall.”
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts,
renewed his arguments today that
the reciprocity agreement as it stands
is not reciprocal on wood pulp and
paper, and that the Root amendment
is necessary to correct it.
“This amendment has been offered
in no spirit of hostility to the bill,”
said Senator Lodge, “and I am sup
porting it in no spirit of hostility. I
think it will make the agreement bet
ter and stronger. I intend to vote
for the reciprocity agreement, be
cause I think in the long run it will
draw the United States and Canada
closer together.”
Senator Cummins today introduced
a number of amendments to the bill
which were calculated to enlarge the
list of articles that will be admitted
free from Canada.
GEN. CLEMENT A. EVANS
IN CRITICAL CONDITION
Atlanta, June 20 —Gen. Clement A.
Evans, former commander-in-chief of
the United Confederate veterans,
member of the state prison commis
sion and the announced appointee of
Governor-Elect Ho*- Smith to the
position of adjutant-general, is criti
cally ill with muscular rheumatism

The family and attending physicians
of Gen. Evans are alarmed over his
condition.

DALTON, GEORGIA. THURSDAY, JUNE IR. 1911.
DALTON WOMAN VOTED
FOR WILLIAM J. BRYAN
Mrs. B. Os Freiderichson, Who Lives on Depot Street, is Pribably the
Only Woman in South Who Cast a Vote for the Commoner. She Was.
at the Time of His First Race for President, Living in Colorado, a
SuffrageJstate.
The comiflg to Dalton of William
Jenniftgs firyan day after tomorrow
has brought to the fact that
there is a Dalton lady who once voted
for the great commoner when he was
a candidate for president of the Uni
ted States.
The lady is Mrs. B. O. Freidrichson
who has for many years been a resi
dent of this city and whose home is
on Depot street.
Mrs. Freiderichson is a aunt of Miss
Clara Brown, society editvess of The
Daily Argus, and has many relatives
and friends, many of whom may not
know that she is probably the only
woman in Georgia, perhaps in the
South, who has had- the pleasure of
voting for Bryan.

How the President Was Hazed.
At a recent smoker of the Wash
ington Yale club it came out how the
wicked sophomores of Yale, at the
time President Taft was a freshman,
hazed him, says the Boston Advertis
er.
When the Yale men discovered Cad
well C. Taylor of the class of 1877
in their midst they insisted on know
ing how the class of ’77 had hazed
the class of ’7B, of which W. H. Taft
was a member, and they particularly
wanted to know how Freshman Taft
had been initiated into the myster
ies of Yale.
“Well, that is not hard to answer,
said Mr. Taylor. I happened to be
one of the ten or twelve that visited
Taft on a mission conducted solely
by sophomores. We found him in
his room alone, and, of course, the
visit of so large a body of men on
hostile intent made its impression.
But he was then, as now, good natur
ed.
“We were determined on nothing
less than a concert, and told Taft we
would try out his voice in song and
when we insisted that it should be
from no less a place than his study
desk; and from there he sang to us
much to our edification and delighL
He sang well the songs we told him
to sing. Ido not believe that he was
molested after that. At all events,
that is the way some twelve of us haz
ed him.”
Killing in Knoxville.
Knoxville, Tenn., June 21—-Samuel
Raulston was shot and killed by John
C. Courtney in this city yesterday.
The shooting followed Raulston’s tak

democratic party, Mrs. Freiderichson
was living in the city of Red Cliff.
Colorado, and as is well known the
right of suffrage is accorded to the
women as well as the men in the wes
tern commonwealth.
History records that Bryan was not
elected, but that was not the fault of
Mrs. Freiderichson, because she voted
for him.
This interesting bit of history has
not been generally known in Dalton,
( but the fact of Bryan’s coming caus
ed it to be mentioned.
| When the democratic leader arrives
in Dalton Friday, he will doubtless
be glad to meet the loyal democratic
.lady who supported him in his first
race for the white house.

WM. J. BRYAN ARRIVES
IN THE CITY TOMORROW
PROMOTIONS MADE
II W. S A. OFFICE
Several Changes Made on Account of
Resignition of T. D. Ridley, Chief
Clerk.
Several promotions have taken ef
fect at the local freight office of the
Western & Atlantic railroad, caused
by the resignation of Chief Clerk T.
D. Ridley, who has severed his con
nection with the cinder colony to en
ter the bank of C. L. Hardwick &
Company.
The following men were promoted
and now hold the offices mentioned:
Fielding Flemister, chief clerk; Jesse
Greason, cashier; Fred Vance, bill
clerk and Ray Harris, car clerk.
Mr. T. D. Ridley, in going to the
bank, succeeds Mr. J. E. Satterfield,
who has resigned to take charge of
the Ford Automobile agency in Macon,
Ga.
The agency there is a very large
one and Mr. Satterfield will be at the
head of quite an extensive business
covering a rich territory.
Unknown in a Clean Face.
But for the fact that he has a
behind his left ear a lost urchin pick
ed up by, the Brooklyn police would
still be id the hands of the Children's
Society in that borough as an un
claimed waif. Completely disguised
by a clean face, the youngster was
not recognized by his parents until
they visited the society’s shelter a
second time and looked him over care
fully.
The lost one, a 3-year-old was
found wandering the streets of East
New York Sunday afternoon. He was
taken to the shelter in Schmermhorn
street, where by a vigorous applica
tion of soap and water his cherubic
features were brought to light. It
was then seen that instead of a bru
nette he was really a blonde. The
transformation was completed when
he was dresed in clean clothes.
Missing the child, the parents, who
have nine others to keep track of, ap
pealed to the police. They were sent
to the shelter, where the boy was pro
duced. He seemed too embarassed to
speak, but he seemed to take an in
terest in th evisitors. They gazed
long and hard at him but gave no sign
of recognition.
“It ain’t Hennie,” decided the
father, finally. It walks like him,
but that ain’t Hennie’s face.”
“No,” agreed the mother, “Hennie
is dark complected—a broo-net.”
So they went away disappointed.
Yesterday they again visited the
shelter, hoping that Hennie had been
picked up in the meantime. But
there was no news. There was only
the same lost boy there. Once more
the visitors had a lok at him.
“There’s something like Hennie
about him,” admitted the father.
“The same eyes are here, but not
the rest of the face.”
At that moment the boy, who had
failed to find his tongue, turned
around. The mother saw something,
and giving a shriek of joy, pounced
upon him.
“Oh, it’s him —our Hennie,” she
said, pointing to a spot just abaft of
the youngster’s left ear.
The father looked and saw the fa
miliar wart. The identification was
complete.
The Ringgold-Dalton Highway
will be an accomplished fact in a few
more months.
