THE CUMMINS INTERVIEW

I'LL VOulMA1VO uvILSAv11W
According to the Chicago Tribune
Senator Cummins has given out q
most extraordinary interview. The
words attributed to the junior senator
are so startling and so revolutionary
that we are loath to give them cred
ence without further authetication.
According to the Tribune Senator
Cummins has declared war. He has
determined that q war Of agitation
shall be waged throughout the nation
and he presents the impossible picture
OF q party, divided against itself, en-
gagged in the bitterest kind of an in
ternal feud. and still presenting
solid front towards the enemy. This
war is to be waged not for another
general revision of the tariff but for
piecemeal, schedule by schedule, re-
vision which shall keep the business
interests of the country in continual
turmoil and hot water. In our
opinion nothing could be- more detri-
mental to the welfare of the country
than the persistent Irritation which
the Tribune says Mr.. Cummins de-
stres.
The tariff commission of which the
Tribune makes Mr.. Cummins speak
is partially provided for in the present
law and itwould be we'll to see how
the matter works out before announc-
ing further agitation.
The last clause of the socalled
! Cummins program is that there shall
be no fight on the President, at least
so long as he is good and progressive.
We reiterate that we shall not be-
lieve Mr.. Cummins guilty of promul-
llgating a program so suicidal to the
| republican party, until the authentici-
ty of the interview is established
| II this is the Cummins program, we
cannot adopt it as our own, nor do We
see how any republican can do SO.
The present tariff does not suit US
exactly because we would like to see
further reductions in some manu-
featured articles; at the same time it
is displeasing to the east because it
does not make sufficient reductions in
bread stuffs and other agricultural
products
! 1t is apparent that no absolutely
satisfactory tariff bill will ever be
enacted We believe the Payne bill
is fairly satisfactory and that it is en-
titled to fair treatment from repub,
licans at least We believe president
Taft did right to sign it. We agree
with those republicans who voted for
it on the ground that it was q repub.
lican measure. founded on the pro-
tective theory and the best that could
be obtained. We cannot align our
selves with any preconcerted attack
upon the new republican law untihit
has time to prove itself good or had.
We have no club to hang over the
President that he must be our kind oil
republican or none at all. We shall
very much regret il the words attribut.
ed to Senator Cummins are in truth
his own.
The Progressives agree with presi

AT DEXTER AVENUE
REV. H. T. JOHNSON TO PREACH
 FIRST SERMON.
Has Recovered From illness and An- ROunces Intention to Occupy Pulpit Morning and
 Eyening.,

It was very welcome news to the congregation of the Dexter Avenue Methodist Church, and to others. that Rev. Henry T. Johnson. the new pas tor. will surely occupy the pulpit at both morning and evening services today.
 The condition of Rev. Mir. Johnson, who became Ill soon after his arrival here, prevented his preaching on the first Sunday in the year, according to expectations, and many were disap- appointed thereby. But since last Sum day the illness became less serious, and showed such improvement in a few days that his physician approved first time in his new charge.
 For the forcefulness of speaker and effective work in a long career. tii reputation Of NFr. 0gslfsor. ffe came to this city from the Methodist charge at Eufaula, where he served well for four consecutive years, and prior to that had filled some of the bose pulpits in the Conference. The congregation and townspeople gener- ally of Eufaula repeatedly expressed their regret at the departure of the pastor, made compulsory under the rules of the church.
 The usual singing and other features of the church program will be follow ed at the morning and night services
 The pastor will receive his first for mai welcome from the congregation, and large audience is expected out.

Since he has been in Montgom- cry. two dozen members have uniteo with the church, and others have ex- pressed their intention to join his con- gregation in the near future.

 2 Florence, Jan. 9.-(SpeciaL )-The contest over the will of Mrs. Laura Woltring, brought by her son. Richard Class, against the legatee, Theresa Grossh elm, came to 6 sudden close this morning after occupying two days in the Probate Court of this county and after one of the attorneys had finished his argument.
 When court convened this morning, the point was raised by Emmet O'Neal, and George P. Jones, for the contest ant, that only one witness to the will had been introduced by the proponent, when both could have been produced. A. H. Carmichael, attorney for pro- ponent, admitted his error and begged to be allowed to produce the missing witness. but his opponents would not consent to this, and Judge H. A. Bradshaw instructed the jury to re- turn a verdict in favor of the contest ant.
 Richard Class, who, by the ruling of the judge, will come into the estate of his mother, had not seen her for more than thirty years, though she was more than 90 years old at the time of her death.
