the truth ABOUT TAFT.
Railroad Station In Williamsburg Not
Named After Var Secretary.

GEORGETOWN, September o.
Under the caption of "Taft in E.
clipse," the News and Courier OF
the 9Th inst. copied the following
interesting story from the Charlotte
Observer:
"Mr Redfern, the tobacco man,
is irresponsible for the following story
of political zeal:
"A station between Georgetown
and Lanes" he said, "has al.
ways borne the name of Taft
Nobody thought anything Of it un.
til Secretary Taft mounted upon
his presidential boom. Then, how.
ever, the devotees of Bryan (who
are the whole population) became
indignant at the name Of their sta
tion and they nailed a sign over
Taft that proclaimed the place as
Bryan Train orders are still
dated from Taft and mail I'd.
dressed to that name, and freight
and express shipped there; but the
rubber.neck passenger, straining
from his window to see all in sight,
reads that he is arriving at Bryan. >"
1t is too bad to spoil such pretty
political plot founded, as it un.
doubtedly is, on strong circumstan.
tisl evidence, and embellished by the
charm of imagination, but in jus.
tice to the population Of "Taft" and,
for the peace of mind of the secre.
tary of that name, it must be done.
Like many another conviction"
on the basis of circumstantial evil
idence q remarkable coincidence is
involved which few words of ex-
planation will serve to clear up.
The now famous station Oh the
Georgetown aud Western Railroad
called ''Taft" was named in honor
of a gentleman who lives in Boston,
Mass. This gentlemal is stock
holder in the big Atlantic Coast
Lumber corporation and also in the
railroad company.
The big sign of "Bryan." which
the Observers man saw, stands for
Mr. W D Bryan, the largest land
owner and cotton planter in the
Taft neighborhood. In other words
MIR Bryan is the whole thing at
Taft. For that reason an admiring
constituency is really anxious to sup.
plant the name of Taft with that of
BRYAN at the railroad station. But
their zeal has not yet reached the
warmth described SO vividly by the
correspondent, even in the cause of
the non-political Mr. Bryan. The
people are too busy just now mark
citing the biggest cotton crop Mr. w
D Bryan ever grew to give the mat.
ter much thought.
That is the true status of affairs
at "Taft." The fair reputation of
the good people of Taft have been
albeit at the expense of q
good story of political zeal.
Let the Observers reporter, ,remem-
Der that there are other Tafts and
Bryans besides W A and W., and
that the Bryan people at Taft are
dealing in more remunerative com.
modities than politics. -News and

FAMOUS PRESIDENTS OWN"
U. S. MARINE BAND TO GIVE CON
 CERT IN WOoLSEY HALL.

YaIe's Department of Music Brings
 Century Old Organization Here for
 nm Evening--To Appear in Gala Uni-
 form, All Scarlet and White-First
 Band Concert in WOolsey Hall.
 The century old United States Marine band of Washington which is to appear here under the auspices of the univer- sity department of music on Thursday, April 4, in Woolsey hall, played for the first time as an orchestra for the guests of Mrs. Roosevelt on February at the White house.
 The success of the concert was so manifest that it is doubtful if the Roosevels will again go to the expense of securing the Pittsburg symphony or the Boston symphony as they have heretofore.
 At the conclusion of the concert Mrs. Roosevelt gracefully complimented the band and it's distinguished leader.
 "We had no idea that the band did such excellent orchestral york;" she said: '4t seemed to be just one huge instrument"
 For the metamorphosls of the famous brass instrumentalists into perfectly trained string orchestra had been com plete. Men who were celebrated for their solo work as clanionettes were changed to violinists and the brass was surplanted by other reed and string in- struments,
 "The Presidents Own," as the Mar inc band is designated at the capital, is made upof soloists and it's playing here on April 4 will be a revelation in the art of brass band attainments,
 Seats for the concert will be on sale beginning April st Steinert's.

May Bring Charges of Criminal Libel

 Senator Franklin l.. Homan, who has been so consistently followed by George l.. Fox since his election to the senate last fall, oontemplates bringing a suit for damages against MT. Fox, and it is said he even has under consideration an action for criminal libel It is stated that MT. Fox has failed utterly to sub- stantiate any of the serious charges he made against Senator Homan, that in- stead of dropping the charges he has persecuted him, that his actions indi- cate malice, and that he is liable under the criminal statute.
 Senator Homan, it is said, will wait for the decision from the senate com mittee on contested elections before proceeding against MT. Fox. There is no question from the evidence that the report will be in favor of Senator Ho- man.
