AUGUSTA CLAIMS
TAFT AS IT'S OWN.
President Elect Attends Big
Street Meeting and Banquet.

Augusta, Ga, Jan. 2l.-Richmond
county, Georgia, modestly proclaimed
William II. Tart as its own-that he
was a resident OF Augusta when the
presidential electors in the various
states declared him to be the presi-
dent eleCt-that as such he was a
Georgian by birth and had lived where
he was born all OF his presidential life.
Thousands of Augustans clinched
this claim with a shout OF approval, as
Major J. G. G. Black said many other
complimentary things about Mr.. Taft
in presenting him to the great mass
meeting which had assembled around
Mckinley once spoke.
The big street meeting, however.
was by no means the extent of the tes.
tivties. There was a banquet last
night at The Terrace" where were
brought together the distinguished
men OF Georgia and South Carolina.
After midnight, when it was all
over, Augusta had shown to Mr.. TAFT
an appreciation OF his presence, an un
Outstanding OF his position and admi-
ration for his personality. What the
president elect thought OF 1t all is
best told in his words to the people
whom he addressed as my fellow citi
Zens of Augusta" 1t was his delight
that the combination of fate, good
sense and judgment had brought him
to live for six weeks in Augusta. He
had come In search of health and hap
piness; he had found both, he would
take both away with him and leave
Augusta no poorer thereby. It was
here for the first time in full year
he had had the pleasure Of a complete
family gathering The weather haC
been such that he had not, he said
missed single day from the golI
