 Goes to Gadsden.

Before very enthusiastic audience. Hon. George W. Taylor. Congressman of the First. or Mobile, District of the State. and representative Of tue State on the Rivers and Harbors. CmAsnif- tee of Congress- in an enthusiastic speech. told what the people of this District of the State might expect his Committee to do for the cause of bet tering the facilities of Fhe Alabama River and Mobile Bay.
 An enthusiastic reception was ac- corded to the Congressman. not only by the people of Montgomery. but by defe- gations from wetumpka represented by Mir. Love. and also by the people. of Newton. represented by "a committee composed of Col. W. Hickory. pr. Nor ris and A, E. Killebrew
 Dwelling upon the great advantages and prospects of the Alabama River and Mobile port in connection with the building of the Panama Canal. Mr. Taylor yividly pictured the untold wealth which will accrue to. the State by preparing herself in advance for the opening of the canal He stated that he was in Montgomery to confer with representative men in order to find out what is wanted for this immediate scr ton of the State. % M
 Captain Ferguson told those as- sembled of the progress of the work toward the making of a four foot channel in the Alabama River. Colonel Hickory then told the Congressman what was wanted with regard to the Choctowhatchie River upon which his town was situated He also told what the cities along the river had done for themselves.
 In talk with the secretary ot the Commercial Club, in whose rooI.ls the reception was held. Congressman Tay- Tor said:
 There may not be any appropria- tions in this section of the State made by the next Congress, for latterIy there has been tendency toward biennial appropriations by that body. Another reason for doubting the appropriation by Congress for this section is because of the Presidential year coming on The Democrats, if in the position of tho Republicans. would do as they are do- ing, proceeding cautiously in the mat ter of expenditures. In addition, the government budget, without consider ing waterways at all, looks very much as if 1t would top the government ln- come"
 So far as the recognition of Ala bama waterways is concerned, Mir Tay- Tor thinks this State stands as good a chance as any State In the Union be- cause under the managements of Chair- man Burton, the Rivers and Harbors Committee has ceased to be the means with which Congressman could please
