the tariff revision crop needs it.
Certainly an income tax would press
harder on the Carnegies and Rockefel-
lers than on the manufacturers but

Taft for president. I'VE had great
faith in the man, and it was his
speeches that gave the faith. He pub
hcly advocated a revision of the tariff

cure that result the public does not

hermit, who has SO accurately fore
told the weather conditions that work
men on the Midland Valley railroad

Three times he has predicted floods in
the Canadian river and every time his
predictions were accurate.
While workmen were completing a
new bridge to replace one washed
away the hermit made his first appear
ance. For time he regarded the
bridge workers silently. Then he
spoke to the foreman of the gang.
You see little water In the river

the floods will come and the bridge
will be carried away"
Exactly go days later the food came
and the railroad bridge was swept

Undaunted, the company again re.

Tariff Schedules Completed.

Consideration Of the tariff sched-

Monday. and it now goes to com
mittee Of conference of the two
houses where two or three weeks
will be required for its final passage
to the President for his signature.
On the last day Of its history in the
senate Senator McLaurin Of our
State secured an amendment which
places cotton bagging on the free
list. which is calculated 10 save 81
500, 900 to the planters Of the South
A reduction Of duty was also effected
on cotton ties. These amendments,
however, must run the gauntlet OF
the conference committee, and that
body may yet restore the duties, but
they won after a hard fight in the
senate aud have that much prestige
with which to enter the contest.

lation can be completed and adj
journment of congress be effected
by August 15.F
