In Blank Verse.

A New York writer who comes from
Mississippi went back to his old home
this summer for visit. He was par
ticularly anxious to see darky named
Prince, who had formerly worked for
the family. He was informed that
Prince was running a barber shop for
the negro trade.
The writer called at the barber shop
and Prince met him at the door with
big welcome, saying that his bust
ness was doing wonderful.
"But, Mr.. Al, you bein' a writin' man,
I wants to asst you sump'n. I wants
you to tell me what's the matter wild
at sign hangin' on de wall-how come
all de white gemmun laughs when dey
sees it?''
The writer looked. On the wall hung
sign in a pretty gold frame, lettered
by the hand of the proprietor, reading:
Roses is Red, and Violets is Blue,
But don't ask me for no credit,
For I'll have to say No,

HARDING STRIKE MESSAGE IS HELD Up
ASSEMBLY NOT TO
ACT ON MANY
IMPORTANT BILLS
Filibusler Yesterday Killed Amy
Chance OF Work-Port Bill
Was Defeated

ATLANTA, August 17.--Both the
senate and the house adjourned. yes
terday afternoon without night ses-
sion. The senate filibustered all
afternoon rather than let the income
tax bill come up. The matter may
be resumed in the senate Thursday
morning but the indications are that
the twenty-four senators who voted
to repeal the equalization law and
lost out are sore and will not let
any other legislation, even local bills,
be passed.
Members of the house. are sore,
too, and lt'looks as if the income tax,
bi-e4lniat sessions, the special appro-
priafions and other important leg-
islation will go by the board through
inactien.
Turn Down Port Bill.
The house of representative voted
$50 to 8 against the establishment or
designation of place for the state
port terminal at the session We'd
nesday afternoon. This was regard
ed as quite a victory for Brunswick
as prior to the legislative trip to
Brunswick, sentiment was practical
ly Overwhelming in favor of Savan-
nah.
The Brunswick delegation has
been actively at work for the past
ten days and effectively killed the
Savannah plan. Next year the port
terminal bill will be introduced again
and the Brunswick people claim they
will be in better position than ever
to show they are entitled to have the
terminal located there.
VIII Set Clock Back.
The legislative clock will be set
back tonight and the session will
probably run along until daylight
Friday morning as very little was
accomplished by eitber the house and
senate yesterday. There is still con-
siderable discussion as to the au-
thority Of the general assembly to
declare last Saturday a dies none and
the contention is that any legisla-
ton passed today be without au-
thority. The difference of opinion
is very marked, however Previous
legislatures declared dies none and
nothing was ever said about it. The
courts have never yet passed upon
the question of dies none but have
held that the journals of the house
and senate could not be introduced
in evidence.

COP TARIFF BILL
is ASSAlLED BY
CONG. C. R. CRISP
Sale of Liquor On u. S. Ships Is
Indefensible,' He States--Will
Vote For Bonus

CharacterlZlng the Republican
tariff bill as the "most inquitous
piece of legislation ever conceived
by the mind of Republican poll
teal group" and asserting that the
sale of intoxicating liquors aboard
vessels owned by the United States
Shipping Board was utterly inde-
fensible" Congressman Charles r.
Crisp, of Americus, prior to his de-
pature for Washington, commented
upon these and other matters that
are before congress.
He will leave Americus Friday
night and will present himself at tie
house Monday. Congress has been
called together by President Hard
ing because Of the railroad st2jke
crisis.
'I dc not know at this time wht'
the government can do in the strike
situation and therefore do not desire
to express any opinion as to the prob
able action congress will take in the
matter" said the congressman.
Speaking of the tariff bill, he
said:
''This measure when it was pass
ed by the house contained, the Amer
lean valuation. clause, which in ef-
feet was that goods coming into this
country would be valued on the bas-
is of their worth in the American
market rather than the originating
markets of the old world and the
tariff duty would be imposed on
this basis, which meant that the duty
would be trebled and quadrupled in
most cases.
"When the bill reached the sem
ate, big retailers and other business
men resented this clause and 1T has
now been removed but a tariff wall
as high as the manufacturers OF
American goods desire, is to be
erected under the bill, which out
Herods and is far worse in its
conception and will be more far
reaching in it's ultimate results
than the famous Payne-Aldrich bill.
at means disaster to the busl-
ness interests of the country as
whole and is legislation that will
keep in this country the goods that
we need to get into European mar
kets in order to strike proper bal
ance in trade, a Balance that has
been reversed, so far as this coun-
try is concerned, since the war, for
where we were then a debtor ma
ton, we are now a creditor nation,
with two-thirds of the gold supply
of the world in our hands.
'It means halt in the restora-
ton of economic conditions in Eu-
rope and is going to retard our do
nestle recovery. It out Herods-Her-
cd and does not please anybody"
Speaking of the bonus bill,
the congressman stated that he be-
lieved there was a doubt now that
the bill would pass, although he IN
tended to vote for it and if it is pass
ed at this session Mr.. Crisp believes
that the president will veto it.
when I left Washington" he said,
81 believed the bill would pass.
Since l have been home, my atten-
ton has been called to matters that
indicate a possibility that it will be
defeated"
Regarding the railroad situation,
the congressman would not enter
into a discussion Of the future SO far
as the strike situation might be af-
fected by congressional action.
