Too Late.

Too Late.
Years ago. when the Panhandle rail-
rood was in course Of construction,
it, progress was 4 matter Of great in
terest to the people Of the region. A
farmer who sold provisions to the con-
tractors often reached the place where
the men were at work ut mealtime.
He was greatly impressed at their
voracity. The work was hard, and
when the dinner bell rang every man
made dash for the table. and before
one could believe it possible the food
had disappeared.
One day workman on his way to
the table tripped on the root Of a tree
and fell. He lay quite still. making no
attempt to rise.
The farmer rushed to him in great
concern.
"Are you badly hurt?" he asked.
NO." answered the man.
"Well. why don't you get up and 70
to your dinner:'
mo use." returned the other sadly.
It's too late now"

BACK TO THE TARIFF.

VI recent DAY the personal element
III politics has occupied the public
mind so fully that convention talk
paid scant attention to the assem-
bling Of plarks into platforms ut
Chicago and Baltimore. says the
Grand Forks Evening Times. The
near approach Of convention time,
however. has forced the question to
the front and made it apparent that,
however absorbing the excited dis
cussion over the characteristics Of RI
val candidates, the situation will set
tie back, once the tickets are named
to tug Of war over policies.
All along the tariff has stood out,
though, at times Obscured by matters
Of passing moment, as the dominant
issue on which the two great parties
would go to the country in 1912, and
there is no indication that either par
ty has been swerved from that pur-
pose. The feeling among leading re.
publicans at Chicago is favorable to a
tariff plank along the lines Of the
New York state platform. which, by
the way, is about the only lighting"
plank in that interesting declaration
Of republican principles. The plank
in question runs ~ follows:
eve believe in the republican prin-
ciple OF protection to American
working men. American industries,
and the American farmer. Customs
duties should he adjusted 50 rs to
cover the difference between the cost
of production in this and in other
countries, and such adjustments
should be made by congress upon
facts ascertained by an impartial
board Of authority to make Il thorough
investigation. We condemn the ac-
ton of the democratic party in the
house Of representatives, who long
progressed to favor tariff commission
to ascertain the facts upon hich Gus
toms might be based, and who inn
mediately after obtaining power re-
Wldlated their former professions and
proceeded to pass tariff bills without
regard to the facts reported and with
out inqniring into or caring for the
needs Of American business or
American labor"
Nothing has been formulated ex-
pres,ive Of general sentiment among
democrats with respect to the tariff.
but the individual views OF the lead
ers. so far as expressed, indicate that
the plank will commit the party to
downward revision us written into
the record Of the democratic house
Of representatives. Candidates
Champ Clark, Underwood, Marshall
and Baldwin are of one mind on this
point, and Wilson and Harmon doubt
less hold the same opinion, though the
New Jersey governor is non-commit-
tai. Perhaps the terse statement of
Underwood hits it off to Il nicely.
Says he: ''The democratic house has
shown that the democratic party will
carry out it's promises to the people
concerning a reduction of the tariff

 BROUGHT T0C|TY

 Killed Contractor

The remains of O. r. Hall, the Bir- mingham contractor who was shot and killed at Lock No, on the Tombigbee river Sunday evening, reached this city last night at 6 o'clock The train was met by Shaws ambulance and the remains taken to their undertaking parlors. No funeral arrangements have been made yet by relatives of the deceased. and they will be announced later by Shaw& Sons.
 Following the shooting. the body was taken on steamer down to Pennington. Ala, and this in a measure accounted for the fact that Brewer & Jones' by whom the contractor was employed, nor the rel atiyes. could locate the body Monday.
 Word from there yesterday morning confirmed the rumor that Dave Hodges, a white man employed by the same com pany, was the man who is supposed tu have shot and killed Hall while the latter was standing in his office at the lock camp The bullet so it Is stated, was fired through a closed window and struck Hall in the heart, causing almost instant death.

Understood That Several Who Led in Protest Are
 Willing to Compromise
HOLDS CONFERENCES
 WITH THE ATTORNEYS
Says if He Is in Next Alabama Race It Will Be in an Effort to Acquire the Gov
 ernorship

J. Lee Long. chairman of the state tax commission. spent yesterday in Birming-
 ham. assisting in preliminaries which will lead to compromises in many of the tax cases which have been scheduled for hearing in November.
 NIT. Long stated yesterday afternoon that he had been requested to visit Bir- mingham for the purpose outlined above by the attorneys for the state who had previously had consultation with attcr- neys representing the protesting tax payers.
 Yesterday. with Attorneys Jesse Stall
 ings, Frank S. White Jr., and F. r.
 Smith, he went over the entire field. AS
 the cases which otherwise would go to
 trial will be compromised.
 These cases grew out of the refusal of the board of revenue to permit increases
 by County Tax Commissioner Allen on
 the assessments originally turned in by a large number of property owners. Act
 ing under direction of Governor Oreal.
 the state beard took charge of the sit
 uation, and many of the cases rejected
  on the dockets.
 There was a storm of protest. as is remembered. when the state board took it's action. It is now understood, how ever, that several of those who led in the protest are preparing to com2ro- mise.
 Mr. Long will return to Montgomery this morning. When informed that tiie
 prohibition organization of tho state hal replied to his interview to the efsect that the expenses of ex-Governor Glenn os North Carolina were paid by interests who are seeking to attract the attention of the people from the railroad rate aGi- tation, MT. Long stated that he expected such a reply.
 However he added, .'I am convinced that l was right in my statement MT. Long stated that the rumor that he would be a candidate for lieutenant
 governor on the ticket with ex-Gover- nor Conner was without foundation
 If I am in the race at all he said, ''it will be in an effort to acquire the governorship.''
