ALDRICH AT HEADQUARTERS,
Quite an important conference
was held on J. Pierpont Morgan g
yacht "Corsair" off Newport, R.
l., recently.
It is understood that Morgan's s
guests included Senator Nelson
W. Aldrich, Senator George P.
Wetmore, who had just returned
from seeing President Taft at
Beverley, and Charles D. Norton,
presidents secretary.
Morgan is known to take the
view that Aldrlch's promised re-
tirement from the Senate would
be Irrational calamity" and it
is believed he urged Aldr;ch to
reconsider the matter.
Politicians in Rhode Island
have never believed Aldrich would
retire at the end of his term, as
he announced last spring. 1t was
not expected that Wall street
would consent to lose its most able
representative in the Senate.
FAvoR1NG "NEcEssITIEs. !"
President Taft asserts that in
the Payne-Aldrlch bill necessities
we're Favored" at the expense Of
luxuries. Here are q few CON-
parisons which show how the Re.
publicans really "favored" the
necessities: The necessity raw
sugar was taxed 55 per cent. while
the luxury diamonds. cut but not
set, we're taxed only 10 per cent.
Such necessities as blankets, fan
nels, women's dress goods, sha Wis,
knit goods, wearing apparel and
other woolen manufactures, were
made to pay tax of from 80 tc
14O psr cent, while the luxury
automobiles we're taxed but AZ
per cent.

ON COMMON GROUND.

Here are two humble churches reared
upon
The hillsides, one Saint Peter, one
Saint John.
One Calvanistic close in faith. indeed,
One liberal Armenian in creed
And underDaath the trees whiclE
shadow both
Warm arguments are waged, each
fol-wer loath
To yield the others point of view is
right;
Here doctrines championed with most
Jealous might
And jealous care, till friendships
firm and true
Are strained to swapping; and here
brothers, too,
In dif-ring DER their proper paths to
tread
From earth to glory, fight till both
are led
Astray from paths of peace and love
serene
Into the way of bitterness between.
Yet, from each church there is a wind
ing way
Well kept and plain and smooth with
gravel gay
Where sleep the saints of each in
death serene
Some went this road, some other
pathway found
Both reached their resting place on
common ground.

1t is a source of satisfaction that The
railroads in the South have at last
awakened to the Importance Of en-
couraging immigration. The West
was built up by the railroads. The
roads went ahead and blazed the way
and then made known the advantages
of the country they had opened up
for settlement. They spent money
freely to get people to settle upon
the lands and tn1 invest in factories.
The investmeE,f tkey made proved to
be a paying one mot only has a big
interest been pail upon it, but the
principal has b1bn returned many
times over. And that is the way it
will be here in the South when the
Southern roads 60 to work earnestly

We have done 4 good deal of talk

ductiveness of the country and the adj
vantages for factories, but there has
been very little practical work to-
wards bringing immigrants here. We
assume that much of the work that the
Central and other roads will do will
be of practical character IF agents
are sent where the people who are
looking for new homes-homes I'm

jbefore we shall see train loads of
immigrants passing over the lines Of
the Central and other Southern roads.
And the people who want to see the
country settled up must join hands
with the railroads and give them eff
cfent help. If they do nothing, and
seek only to benefit by what the rail-
roads de- the railroads will not be as
successful as they otherwise would.

WHAT THE GULF WINDS
DO FOR THIS SECTION
Prize for Best Essay Writ
ten on This Subject.

1lfton, Ga, July Editor John
W. Greer, of the Wiregrass Country
Magazine, has propounded rather Il
unique questionSto the students of the
four agricultural schools of South
Georgia, namely those at Tffton, Amer
icus, Douglas and Statesboro.
During the commencement of the
Second District school the other day,
Mr.. Greer offered in the name of the
magazine a gold medal to,the student
of any of these four schools who VIII
write the best essay on the following
subject: "The Influence of the Gulf
Winds on the Vegetation and Ha-
man Temperament of the Wiregrass
Country" The essay must not have
over two thousand words, it must be
sent to the Wiregrass Country Maga,
zine by December %, 1910, and it
will be published in the magazine in
its January number, 1911
Mr.. Greer called attention to the
fact that the Gulf practically sur
rounds tie Wiregrass country of
Georgia and Florida that the winds
that sweep across this section from
the Atlantic to the Gulf all comes
from the Gulf stream and are tenn
pered by its warm waters; the Cuff
stream runs up the Atlantic coast not
over thirty miles from Brunswick
and therefore the winds from the
ocean are tempered by the Gulf Wa
ters the same as those that come
directly from the Gulf He claims
that these winds are the fertilizers of
vegetation in this section. being preg-
nant with moisture, a great boon to
growing crops He calls attention to
the fact that the Gull stream runs
across the Atlantic and touches Eu-
rope on the English coast and
these warm, moist winds. moet-
ing tl59re the cold winds fltom
the arctics. precipitates the mois-
ture into dense fogs, making that
country rather disagreeable, while the
same winds blowing across Southern
Georgia and Florida and not meet
ing the cold resistance, is assimilated
by the growing crops rather than
precipitated, and that this fact ac-
counts largely for the abundance of
food products that can be grown on
the lands of this section, for the deli
cate flavor of these foods, such as the
Georgia cane syrup, the sweet potato
grown here, for the fine flavor of the
scuppernong grapes and the same
quality in many of her products grown
here over that of other sections
Mr., Greer also asserts that this
same Gulf wind, being mild and
moist, with a salt tinge, tempers the
nature of population in this section.
He sees in the people here a quick
responsiveness, like that of the
mountain people, but not that rug
gfd asperity chafac Seristic of the
mountain. He claims also that the
either from the Gulf or the ocean,
makes the nights cool in summer and
The days much more pleasant than in
other countries of this latitude and
that the constant stirring of the at
ImosphJere prevents the sluggishness
of hot countries.
He believes that if the students Of
the agricultural schools of this section
will study the gulf winds, they will
find in them wonderful source Of
wealth to this section.

J. 4. LEVERTY
 PRESIDENT OF
 STATE BOARDS

J. A. Leverty, of this city, prcsi- dent of the state pharmacy board and senior member of the firm of J. A. Leverty & Bro., was signal1y hon.
 ored at a meeting of the New Eng land boards of pharmacy commis- sioners. by the election to the presi- dency of that body.
 The meeting of the New England
 group took place in Boston, Nov. 2S
 and 29. MT. Leverty's election to the
 presidency of this important body is
 considered a great honor, and well
 deserved because of his experience and success in that line.
 The board took a most important step, and one which means much to every licensed drug clerk, by voting to affiliate with the National associa- ton of pharmacy boards, reciprocal ing in the exchange of drug licenses. This means that there are now s states in which drug clerk who se- cures a Connecticut license, is i eligible to practice through the ex- change privilege; also that the clerks of the IS states are eligible to fol- low their calling in Connection through the same privilege.
 The New England board also dis eussed a number of matter pertain ing to pharmacy laws, and adopted recommendations which will be laid before the legislatures of the several New England states.

CITY ENGINEER
 SENDS A REPLY
 TO COL. TAYLOR

That Lieut.. Col. Harry Taylor of the War Department is thoroughly conversant with the situation relative to the dredging about the East Wash ington avenue bridge is apparent by the text of a letter which City En- gfneer Maurice F. McKenna sent to him on November z9. Col. Taylor knows that the city will not decide what it will do with the bridge until after the next meeting of the Com mon Council
 In a letter which Col. Taylor wrote to the city engineer he stated that there was a great deal of wharf prop erty lying undeveloped above the East Washington avenue bridge and that it was up to the city if it took any interest in the development Of the harbor to see that the harbor was dredged. As Col. Taylor publish latter felt privileged today to divuIge his correspondence to the army of ficer. The letter follows:
 Nov. 2s, 1910. Lieut.. Col. H. Taylor,
 Corps of Engineers, U. s. A.
 Dear Sir:--
 Replying to your letter of the 25th inst, regarding the East Washington avenue bridge, beg to say that at the conference which we had with your representative, MT. G. E. Verr1lI, our Mayor, Director of Public Works, chairman of our Paving Commission and myself, we simply discussed the situation pro and con, after which we were able to get into communication with the engineer who had charge of construction when this bridge was built in 1893, and after talking with him, all concluded that the present bridge would have to be replaced if an IS fit. channel was dredge l through this bridge. All of our dis cussions subsequent to that time have been having the replacing of this bridge in mind. Our Mayor, while not desirous of burdening the city with the amount required to build a new bridge, appreciates the situation, and will send a communication to our city council with reference to it at the next meeting which will b. held December 5, 1910. Prior con- versations with His Honor, Mayor Buckingham, regarding our local har- bor have impressed on my mind the fact that he has in mind co-operat- 1 ing with the United States in every 1 way possible regarding any improve ments to our local harbor. After this report, above mentioned, has 1 been submitted to the council, I shall | forward it to you. if you so desire. Very respectfully,
 M. F. McKENNA, City Engineer.

POLICE FIND
 SLASHED SUIT CASE OF CARbLE

What may prove to be mute evil dences of a robbery and perhaps murder was turned over to the police department today in the form of the it's contents scovered hidden in thicket in North Bridgeport, half mile north of Fairchild's crossing and just east of the railroad tracks of the Berkshire division.
 The suit case had been slashed open. Its lock was still intact, but its weather worn paste board side showed long gashes where it's side had been laid open for want of key. The scene of the discovery of the suit case is little more than a stones throw from a hang-out of hoboes, west of the tracks and it is also about due west from the scene of the Dib- ble murder mystery.
 Edward Kohler of 2s5 Lindley street was strolling along the track Sunday for recreation when he wandered in- to the strange find. The suit case lay the contents inside, the remainder scattered in the leaves and dead grass. Kohler reported his strange find to the police today, and Detective Ser- geant .Cronan went to the scene and gathered the contents, such as would identity of the owner, but when he went to pick up the suit case, it fell to pieces.
 From letters found in the suit case. he formed the belief that the suit case was property of one Charles Carble. who lived at Weston, W. Va., and who was a salesman of clothes differs. The last dates on the remnants of the letters were in December, 1909. Cron- an believes the suit case may have been lying in the thicket since last December.
 Carble received mail, in both Dan- bury and Bridgeport, last November and December, apparently coming here from Danbury. From the nature of the letters Cronan believes he sold from house to house.
 Whether Carble was waylaid and robbed. and then permitted to go, or beaten to death by some of the law less characters that frequently infest that neighborhood. may never be known. Cronan made search of the territory for some distance around the scene of the discovery of the suit case but found nothing further. Several of the letters included in the suit case were from women who priz- ed Carble's friendship. Others were business letters from Frank Hopkins, a Pennsylvania manufacturer who sold wall clothes differs to Carble, do- ing business with him in this city through the First National bank. An effort will be made to ascertain something of Carb1e's whereabouts through the authors of the letters.
