Augusta we will not have to build
track as the sand is from one to
six feet deep, and the cars will glide
right on through like top.
Every car will stop at Mr.. John
Williams long enough for each pas
senger to shake hands with him.
We have engaged him to stand
there for that purpose night and day
Should the cars happen to meet any
OF the passengers friends along the
way time will be given for the pas
sengers to shake hands with them
and inquire about the weather, their
families, etc.
Our route hits the Hampton Ter
race hotel right in the middle, but
we have arranged to move it out of
the way and use it for a poultry
house at Belvedere.
Our cars will be shipped back by
steamboat to Savannah, thence by
railroad to Greenwood, and begin
their journey over again. On our
initial trip We expect to give away
souvenir tooth picks, guaranteed to
have been used by President Taft
and party for extracting the possum
from their teeth at various times and
places.

You will doubtlesslnotice that no
provision has been made for the
passengers that patronize our line to
get back home. In regard to this /
will say that our cars will stop at
the dispensary in North Augusta for
fifteen minutes; the men will be ex-
pected to get SO drunk that they
can't get home, and as to the ladies,
of course somebody will carry them
home.
We will have sign in each car

wish to ask you, can you. as a demo-
crat, justify your position in advocating
protection on lumber because it is your
home industry? Does not the gentle
man from Pennsylvania, in asking for a
tariff upon steel trust articles, put it upon
the ground that it is his home industry?
Do not the representatives from the
wooden trust districts come here and ask
protection on woclen goods because it is
their home industry? Does not every
member from the districts Of the trusts
put their demands upon the ground that
it is their home Industry"

Referring to the Aldrich hunt -
the Springfield (Mass.) Republican says:
"Aldrich Ievisers must be mad to sup
pose the country is going to be satisfied
with the kind Of revision they offer.
They are failing even to satisfy the rev.
enue situation, and otherwise they will
only succeed in outraging the general
sense Of what the country needs. But
President Taft3 He last Of all can az
ford to have such tariff settlement al
this pass into law without protest and
without veto. 1t would reveal him as a
man who may mean what he says in hi:
public declarations, but who is too weak
and easily influenced to stand by what
he means and says when put under
pressure. His administration would starr
of with so heavy discredit mark against
it as to weigh it down in the popular es-
6madon throughout the rest Of his term.
We can not suppose he will permit it;
yet the bourbons and reactionaries Of his
party IN congress are proceeding with a
confidence which seems to be bonn Of
knowledge Of his assent. We shall know
soon whether this assent has been given. -

Senator Hepburn Of Idaho took fall
out with the press correspondents few
days ago. In speech on the zinc
schedule he diverted from the regular
path to pay his respects to the press, say
ing. among other things. that a paper
crihcising the senate puts itself in the
position Of guest who mis-behaves at
his hosts table" This far-fetched con-
clusion was drawn from the fact that the
senate permits press representatives to
occupy seats in the gallery. This is the
first open declaration we have seen in
print that the senators own the national
capitol building although many Of them
have acted on that theory for quarter
of a century.
