Of MIR. Taft's entering the White

his attitude Is now recalled as offer

as making an opening for the contin-

absence of the president on his pro-

need not necessarily stand in the
way of his election, but rather that
such absence might relieve the situa-
ton OF embarrassment to him in case
his friends should desire to press his

Home Company Organized.

The independent telephone agitat.
ors held an enthusiastic meeting at
the opera house yesterday afternoon.
together with a number OF our bust
ness men and citizens.
The meeting was held fol the pur-
pose of organizing a company for
this city to connect with other rural
telephone lines in Fulton county and
neighboring towns. which has been
brought about by reason Of the Cum
be.iand people raising rates.
Organization was perfected by
electing the following:
Tom Dillon. Sr., Pres.
A. M. Tyler, vice-Pres.
3 T. Davis. Secy. and Treas.
The committee on bylaws and
regulations is composed of F. S.
Moore, J. w Roney. B. T. Davis,
Allen Davis and A. M. Tyler.
Allen Davis and B. T. Davis we're
made members of a committee to
make a canvass of the town and
solicit phones.
Speeches we're made by Remley,
Moore, Roney, Fletcher, Tyler and
Thomas pointing out the advantages
to be derived from an independent.
or mutual company.
A meeting of the new organization
will be held next Monday and re-
ports from committees received.
For the benefit of those who do
not know. we will say that those who
take phones in the home enterprise
will get free connection with more
than 1000 phones and free service
to nearly every town in the First
Judicial District. It will cost ap-
proximately SIS to have phone in
stalled and 2sc to SOC a month for
maintenance. II will have, however,
disadvantages as we'll as advantages,
but in the main, will be far cheaper
service than we are now getting.

The two cotton gins of this city

This is not so bad for one days re-

NATIONAL CORN EXPOSITION.
Importance of the Great Cereal to the
Middle West.
Minneapolis Journal.


Cotton is king was once the talk. Corn
is king is nearer to the mark these days.
The National Corn exposition at Omaha is
to celebrate that economic fact and tC
hoI or the king.
The corn belt" is something unique in
the world. There are other wheat lands
than our own. there are other cotton
fields, but where is a land Of golden maize
except here at home.
One hundred thousand ears of corn have
been entered at the exposition to strive in
competition for the big premiums offered
for those adjudged most thoroughbred"
Some lucky ten ears of corn Will win $500,
Just $3.50 per ear, which is a handsome
prize. over $4,000 will be paid in
premiums.
THE cornfed philosopher" was once, and
may be still, the butt of ribald jest. in a
certain superior publication down east. but
corn looms up higher every year as a
serious fact, so that even those once dis
posed to make light of It are recognizing
that It's cultivation has become the cor
nerstQne OF our agricultural temple.
The corn lands of the middle west rise
In value. The farmers situated upon those
lands are the most prosperous agricultural
