FAVoRS a MEETING.
Senator Gilman Thinks the Dispen-
sary Should Get Together.

Senator Tillmsn, who was ii Go
lumbia for a te| hours Thursday,
thinks that the dispensary people
should get together aud orssI.ze on
the same basis as the anuS-d;spensary
people are supposed to be organized
on.
Senator Til,mar said that he bad
given hut little thought to the pra-
posed conference. Ia favored 1t b
cause he rborg; ;n that the dhp. ns.ry
people shouli o>gsnz,. "Tae cth"T
side was organ:Z.d a." be said, ana
proh!bi:inpists, high l'canse and lrcsl
option people in the legislature voEed
for the bill to do away wish tho State
diepersary. I think that 1t Is Dosh
ing but fair that the dispecsary peo
pie bold a conference. I would not
suggest the time OF place and I 90
not know who would cal it, bat l
think the idea q gocd one | have
been tco busy 10 think aoont 1t, how
ever, and TIE coming fight on tae
railroad bill will call for my entire
time during the a x ten days. MY
testimony bsfore tae io7essigst!Dg
committee shows exactly how l stand
and there is nothing to add to that )"
Senator Tillnsn expects to call up
the railroad rate bill as socn as z vote
has been taken in the senate on the
statehood bill This is scheduled f.r
March 9Th and it is possible that he
viii call up bis bill before them, al
though net probable. The railrcaL
rate bill Is now On the calendar.
The bill will probably pass" said
the senator, land the principal fight
will be on the proposed amendmsnt
for court supervision Of rates. This
means that the courts would be given
the power OF Injunction TO prevent the
enforce msnt OF rates before revised by
them. The supporters OF the bill, how
ever, do not favor this, but wish to
give the railroad com mission power &c
put rates into efsct AFTER 30 days no
tice. The bin will pass the senate
without amendments, I think. l ez-
psct to fight for it and expect the
support of all Of the Democrats and q
large number Of the Republicans"
The senator did not care to discuss
Stats Issues on account OF bis severe
cold, bus he paused long enough IN
his remarks on the railroad bill to say
that be was opposed to biennial ses'
sious and that be thought the leeisls-
ture acted wisely In killing she pro-
posed amendment providing for ses-
sions once every tgo years. Such &C.
tion put the people to sleep and they
are then more easily led into error.

erty' and the people In come OF the

The Old Home.


An old lane, and old gate, an old house
by a tree,
A wild wood, a wild brook-they will
not let me be:
In boyhood l knew them, and still
they call to me.
Down deep in my hearts core hear
them, and my.eyes
Through tear mists behold them be-
meath the old-time skies,
Mid bee bloom and rose bloom and or
chard lands arse.
I hear them; and heartsick with long
ing in my soul,
To: walk there, to dream there, be-
meath the sky's blue bowl;
Around me, within me, the weary
world made whole.
To talk with the wild brook Of all the
long ago:
To whisper. the wood wind Of things
we used to know
When we were old companions, before
=. my heart knew woe.
To talk with.the monrning, and watch
its rose unfold:
To browse with the noontide, lulled
on its heart OF gold;
To lie.with the night time and dream
the dreams OF Old.
To tell to,tlfe <eld trees and to each
listeni' gseaf.
The longing. the yearning, as in my
bO, hood brief
The old nope. the old love, would ease
my heart OF grief.

TO sPoT COTTON HOLDERS.
They Are Advised to Hold for Fifteen
Gents.

Nj. Harvie Jordan, President OF
the Southern Cotton Association, Is
confident that cotton Will 20 up a
little later, and In consequence he ad
vises all spot holders Of COTTON to hold
on. Eere is what he says: About the
middle Of last November the Southern
Cotton Association advised sll spot
holders to demand fifteen cents per
pound, basis mlddIiag, for shs balsnce
OF the unsold portion Of the present
crop and pledges were asked for nine
ty days. The Mammcuth Cotton Con.
vention held at New Orleans, La,
January 11th-13th, 1906. passed q
reaolution unanimously endorsing the
holding movement for fifteen csnts,
and advocated the continued holding
of the unsold portion OF the c1op for
that price independent OF the 80 day
pledging. The Executive Committee
Of the Association subsequently en-
dorsed the action Of the Convention
and all spot holders were earn nestly
asked to stand firm until q maximum
price Of fifteen cents vas offered. Be.
one year ago cotton sold at
seven cents per pound In Fa5Tusry and
advanced to over ten cents early in
July In the face Of $4,000 600 bale
crop. This year the crop Is 3. 800, Oo0
bales less. Consumption is far greater
this year than lass, and prices OF all
lines Of cotton goods abnormally high.
II the small balance OF the cotton now
held be sold for fifteen cents, the
whole crop will not average over IL
cents per pound. Receipts Will soon
drop eff heavily and stronger mar.
zet will be had. Do not rush your
cotton on tbs market, but hold it and
vim out in the great struggle that is
ID between the spot holders on the
)ne side and spectators, spinners and
buyers on the other.

A Faithful Mother Bird.

Three weeks ago q freight a came
into the yards at C%hillicothe, Ohio, and
the RAILROAD men; discovered on the
footrest through which the brake pro-
trudes at the end, toward the top of
the car, a robin had built its nest. In
that nest was one egg. The car had
made a continuous trip from Michigan
and stood here a day or so, and was
sent to Ripley, Ohio. Upon its return
here, two eggs were in the nest. 1t
was again sent to that place and re-
turned with three eggs. In this time
the mother bird had Matched the eggs
out, eyer following the car in it's mean
derings. The railroad men had kept
q strict watch upon the nest and saw
that nobody molested it. Orders came
to send the car to Michigan, and the
men held q consultation, and it was
decided to remove the nest to a nearby
tree. 1t was carefully tied fast to the
tree with strings, the mother bird
watching the proceedings from a
nearby limb. AS soon as finished b
resumed the. faithful watch of her
flock. Investigation has proved that
the mother bird travelled hundreds of
miles in following the nest from Mich
igan to this part of the country
Youngstown (Ohio) Vindicator.
