no property to demand and protect.
Senator Bailey went fully into the
comparative duty on the rich and the
poor, and he said he was really sur
prised that the rich did not offer to
pay this tax. He said he despised the
demagogue, the demaGogues never
try to teach their children not to try
to prosper. The only man worse than
the demagogue was the. tax dodger.
He believed it and trusted the man
who behaved himself whether rich
or poor He paid high tribute to the
Texans who traced their lineage to
the Palmetto State.
Speaking to Democrats he said If
South Carolina were to reject this
amendment it would be forever killed,
and the Democratic party would be
held responsible. The Democrats
will come to- make a tariff and he said
that was because the Democrats fell
out among themselves. The country
is not Republican, but it is simply
afraid Of Democrats. They know the
Republicans are rascals and think we
are fools. When We come to make
the tariff bill unless you have this
income tax to raise a hundred mil
lion revenue you cannot make any
substantional reduction in the tariff,
and that Is waht the Democrats want
to do.
He made an extended argument to
show that the tariff cannot be taken
off without providing some other
means of revenue with which to run
the Government He favored an in
heritance tax.
The main burden Of Mr.. Bailey's
address was that If the burden Of the
tariff Is to be lifted it can only be by
an income tax. There is no hope of
reducing exepnses materially and
the income tax must come. If the
tariff outrage is to be lifted it must
be by the income tax. Mr. Bailey said
whatever else happens to the amend
ment he hoped South Carolina would
not be first to strike it blow. Sena-
tor spoke eloquently for an hour and
three-quarters and upon the com
pletion of the address on motion of
Mr.. M. L. Smith the joint Assembly
extended its cordial thanks to Sena-
tor Bailey for his fine address.

Alligator Has Become Chum of A
Horse

(From the New York Press.)
Bloomfield, N. j., Feb. 9.-This
community is excited by the strange
attachment between a horse and a
pet alligator belonging to James B.
Smith Of No. 554 Bloomfield avenue
The alligator will not sleep anywhere
except on the warm and broad back
of the horse, and when it is removed
the horse is disconsolate and whin-
nies and refuses to eat until the rep
tile is replaced. Even when the
horse is taken out of the stable for
exercise the alligator remains on it's
back and the horse walks along
gingerly seemingly fearing the alli-
gator will fall off. The Smiths start
ed out for a drive today and the horse
refused to move until the alligator
had been placed in the carriage in q
place where it could be seen whenever
the horse turned its head.
The Smiths have had the alligator
several months. 1t disappeared dur
ing the cold spell on Sunday night
'igent search was made, and no
one could find 1t.
II guess it went to the creek at
the back Of the garden and buried
itself in the mud" Smith said.
"If it did 1t is likely the filthy
water from the Passaic river will kill
it." neighbor suggested.
Smith went to the stable next NOR
ming to look after the horse. 1t was
lying down in the stall and refused
to get up. Smith went closer, think
Ing the animal i'll. He was astound-
ed to discover the alligator stretch
ed out on the horses back and blink
ing as contentedly as though taking
sun bath on mud fiat in the Ever
glades. When Smith attempted to
remove the reptile it fought him,
which was something entirely new
He overpowered the alligator, how
ever, took 1t into the kitchen and
put 1t in a box near the stove. The
horse whinnied so furiously and per-
sistently that finally, to pacify it..
Smith took the reptile out to the
stable again and placed it on the
floor. The horse lay down and in
few seconds the reptile was stretch
ed out on its warm back once more
and all were happy except Smith.

CHILD LIVED ONLY TWO HOURS.
The Father Made Millionaire by It's
Life.

Some men are just naturally the
sons OF fortune. Read this If YOU
don't believe it. Chales w. Mclean.
of Brockville, Ontario, has fallen heir
to 100000 as the result of pecu-
liar circumstances attending the birth
Of his child and it's death.
Mrs. Mclean died a week ago and
her child survived her only two
hours. Mrs. McLean's estate, accord
ing to the terms Of her fathers will,
amounted to only $13,200 but if a
child was born it was to inherit one
third of the whole estate.
The estate is now valued at over
s9.000,O00, and the infant therefore
was heir to s3,000,000 during it's life
time of two hours. The father will
now inherit it,

Ihe south Can Compete With The
World Growing Corn.

We contend that corn, meats. fruits,
lesumes and many other crops which
we might mention, can be grown by
the southern farmer cheaper than any
other people on earth can grow them
for him, and that, therefore, he should
grow these crops for his own use and
for sale.
Even under present conditions
1t has been demonstrated, time and
again, that the Southern farmer can
produce hogs at to 4 cents a pound.
live weight, and make money on
them. If this be SO, and it is, then
why should he not rejoice at the fact
that live hogs are selling at cents a
pound, and by growing hogs as a
money crop reap rich harvest?
We need diversifcation because it
is necessary, or at least conducive to
increasing soil fertility, and because
We can produce many of these things
cheaper than We can buy them. We
do not need to grow everything we
use, but We do need to grow those
things of which we use large quanti-
ties and which we can produce cheap
er than other people can produce for
us. Of these crops we stand pat on
corn, meats, and fruits.
We can compete with the world in
the growing of these crops, and as
long as we buy them at from two to
three times the cost at which We can
produc them, we are not using good

SOUTH BOOMING, SAYS MACKAY,
Postal Telegraph President Thinks
Country Is Suffering from Buga-
bOOs.

New York, Feb. 15.-Clarence H.
Mackay. president of the Postal Tele-
graph and Commercial Cable Com
panies. returned yesterday from his
regular inspection tour through the
South. He expressed himself as
thoroughly satisfied with both con-
ditions and outlook.
"If the telegraph business is a
barometer" he said, "the South has
lost none of the impetus that began
before and continued In modified
degree through the panic. The people
down there have become philoso-
phical as well as prosperous, and do
not easily get excited. We began to
make plans for extensions. enlarge
ments. and general expansion Of ia
cilities throughout the South more
than year ago, and the net outcome
Of my visit Is that We shall go ahea d
as demands require in all directions.
Pending decisions by the Supreme
Court may be and not be enacted,
but what Of It? Properties are not
going to smash. On the contrary, we
have only to rid ourselves Of silly ap-
prehensions Of wanton official assaults
following upon legitimate business to
enjoy the general prosperity which
conditions warrant. II we are all
going to wait till capital ceases to be
timid, and labor demands less in
stead Of more and statesmen stop
seeking popularity. we might as well
shut up and go home.
The only attacks we have now is
an attack of bugaboos. The Courts
have not been suddenly deprived of
knowledge Of law. nor the Admins
tration of patriotism, nor Congress of
representative ability. nor the Am
erican people OF common sense. 1t
may. and doubtless will. take some
time to adjust legislation to meet the
requirements OF changing conditions.
but that IL no reason why business
men should get scared and sit like
bumps on log till all questions are
finally and definitely settled. If the
heads of big concerns show the white
feather the thousands Of business
men engaged In lesser affairs will be
disheartened naturally, and a period
Of common apathy will set in without
rhyme or reason. Such a policy is
not only nonsensical but wrong. AT
least that is my opinion, and our COM
panies are going to act accordingly
We are doing more business today
than ever before, and the apparent
requirements for the. immediate fu-
ture are greater than ever before, and
We are not going to be swerved from,
our original determination to provide
the additional facilities that we fore
see are going to be required"
