TO SENATE AND HOUSE

Recommendations Are a HkHlful
Cn?? Ik'hvwn Fulftllment of the
Pledges ami Recommendation*.
Congress met on last Monday aud
ou Tuesday heard President Taft's
message read. The formality of
reading the message consumed about
an hour and a half of the time of
each house. When the conclusion
was reached the house Immediately
ndjourned hut the senate remained
In session for some time afterward,
an executive Besslon being held before
that body adjourned.
Little fault was found with the
message among the Republicans, who
seemed to agree that It was as satIsfaetory
a document as the President
could prepare and remain consistent
with the party's csmpalgn
pledges. The* Democrats approved
of the president's efforts to economize
but deprecated his suggestion
that the Monroe doctrine had practically
become olsudete.
Opposition to the proposed Immediate
congressional Investigation of
the sugar Import scandals In tbo
New York cuBtom house, slid likewise
to any further revision of the
tariff at present; absence of any
specific, recommendation regarding
tbo crisis In Nicaragua, aud actual
recommendation of legislation to forbid
the Issuance of judicial Injunctions
without notice in labor controversies,
and for the establishment
of u system of postal savings banks,
may be considered tho moBt striking
features of the first annual mesBMge
of President Tuft to congress.
The Xiraraguan question, conservation
of the nation's natural reHourres,
ne?,|od amendments to the
anti-trust arul Interstate coramerc?
acts, and the contemplated revision
of the federal statutes governing
the organization of the armed forces

17.000 words, Mr. Taft reports the
country 'o h? "In u high slave of
prosperity," and ho adds that "there
1h every reason to believe that wt
are on a eve of a substantial business
expansion, und we have Just
garnered a harvest unexampled In
the market \ulue of agricultural products."
The president oxpreHsed eotlrt
coulldence 'that the duty lntpoeod
upon the exccuti.o of enforcing tht
maximum rates of the new tariff law
against nations unduly discriminating
against the T'nltod States will
not provoke any tariff war. and h?
favors no further tariff tinkering

Twenty-seven years ago tbs dead

a negro, was arrested, charged with
having killed Hook, and placing his
body on the railroad track to cover
aiB terrible crime. For a time .tk*
feeling against the negro ran high,
and after two trial* he wan convict*
ed and sentenced to aervo the brtluoce
of hla life in the State Penitentiary.
Claik? la wild to have protested
hla Innocence through thick
and thin, but owing to the fact that
he bore a bad reputation In the community,
couplod with the fact thut
he and Hook had had a falling out
a day or two before, It waa believed
that be watt tbo guilty party.
Auotber thing which worked
against the accused was that he and
Hook both resided at Gilbert Hollow,
which was only two miles from
Summit, and both walked the railroad
on tbo night to question. Hook
wop n barkeeper, and at time, drank
to excess. It In said, and at the time

ty Scheme.
Tbo following Interesting story is
reported by a postofllco official: 1
"Tao of the mulls la resorted to
by artful crooks aa u ruoat convenient
way of defrauding the defcUBOb'juj

the nature of the schemes employed
to defraud through the mall9.
Almost every day the Postmaster
General signs orders depriving Individual*
and concern* conducting
businesses to defraud, from further
use of the tnalln. This la not always
the final disposition of such
ca?i??numbers of theao Individuals
are summoned to court, and In many
Instances after trial, sentenced to
servo long terms in the penitentiary.
"Porhaj'S one of the most unusual
schemes to defraud through the
molls was discovered not long ago
After thorough Investigation by the
Inspectors It was ultimately suppressed.
but not until after the promoters
had reaped o harvest. The schemes
consisted of an appeal to the people
for financial assistance in bebulf
of an armless girl. For the purpose
of bringing her condition to
the public attention, she published
a booklet and sent It broadcast
throughout the country. The booklet
?'?? devoted to n brief history of
the girl's life, detailing sn Occident
by which she hud lost both of her
arms TU*- narrative was accompanied
by UluKtratlons of the uousu
al work she performed with her
feet. With each booklet mailed
was enclosed u coin card requesting
the remittance of 2 5 cents for the
same, und a circular letter appealing
to the recipient for money with
which to build o home and get aome
good motherly woman to take care
or it Tor her.
"The Investigation made by the
Inspector developed the ihc*.
the armless girl had entered Into
a contract with a man. who resided
in the pame city, to furnish the capital
necessary to publish the booklet.
In return tlio man was to receive,
and did receive one-half of tbs not
proceeds deriving from the sale of
the booklet. Ho was first roliuburae
1 for the money he had advanced
to pay for Ith publication.
"On hla Initial tlalt to the town
where the business was being carried
on. the Inapector found that the
enterprise had attained such proportions
that tho services of eleven
persons, In addition to the armless
<lrl und her manager, were required.
Th? girl Informed the Inspector
on this visit that at thut time
throe thousand booklets per day were
being mailed, that the dally receipts :
amounted to from fSG to |1I?0, ond
that the business was steadily In- 1
creasing. She further informed the <
Inspector thut up to that time ?he <
had accumulated as her share of the 1
proceeds more than f 10,000. While
the representations appearing in the '
booklet respecting tbe physical con- '
'ItIon of the girl were true, she had
long passed the stage where she was 1
Jopeudont upon charity. ' ]
"When the Inspector was ratified '
that the girl wuw no longer o put)- '
Joet for charity, and that her ruan- '
tger was sharing equally In the pro- 1
"eodri, the subject of depriving them '

nuked to show why such an order 1
should Ik* Issued. After appearing (
?nd eoneentlng to eliminate from
their literature objectionable and
misleading statements. they were (
permitted to continue the'r business. 1
During the ensuing few months the 1
business dwindled to practically
nothing and It soon abandoned en- 1
tlrely; the elimination of the ob- '
leoTlonahlo features from the lltera- 1
hire having proved as effective, as '
the Issuance of a fraud order.

Tbe Georgian, of Atlanta, Go.,

editor of Collier's Weekly:

In Justice to your preat paper. The

exact text of your editorial In which
this alleged Insult appeared. Will
you be so kind as to send us a
copy, or transcript, of the editorial
In question, together with a statement,
if you think any he needed,
as to what you meant?
Yours very truly.
Atlunta Georgian.
In due time the editor of The
Georgian received the following letter
from Mr. Robert J. Collier, pubUsher
of Collier's Weekly:
b'?r flirt Thanks for your note
of November 23, which has boen referred
to me. I am glad to have the
opportunity of letting you know the
facta In relation to an editorial
which haa b-en fcldnly misconstrued
A parnpraph appeared In Colller'e
some two years apo (without my
seeing It. I regret to say) which
commented severely upon u lynching
In Springfield, 111. While this article
made no reference to the flouth. It
was etiffciontly obscure In language,
and Injudicious In tone, to provoke
very general resentment throughout
the South.
While there was nothing further.
I am sure, from the mind of the
writer of that article than to reflect
upon the South. I nevertheless
regarded Its publication at the time
mh u mauf*r ror serious regret. The
attitude of Collier's toward the
South has always been particular^
cordial. We have been praised for
our sympathy In discussing Southorr
problems by no less an authority than
vour distinguished colleague, Mr
Clark Howell, In the following
words:
"The Constitution desires to contribute
Its plinro of full meed of
praise due Collier's Weekly for the
truthful, fair und fearless stand
that excellent periodical Is taking
editorially on all matters affecttne
generally misrepresented and misunderstood
conditions of tbo South."
I am glad, therefore, to be able
to say to you with absolute frankoes*
thot the article which has glv?n
offense was printed without my
Knowledge and to my deep regret:
that It did not refer to a Southern
ity, but to u city In Illinois; that
In so far as it can be construe-*
%s reflecting upon the wisdom of
the South. In Its treatment of the
race problem, for upon the women
>f the South, for whom I have the
most profound respect. It represent?
ocartly the opposite of my sentiment?
ind the sentiments of Collier's.
I Inclose for your consideration a

obtained with the lline in the form
of carbonate, tho finely ground oyster
shells standing first I.line
with fertilizer was more profitable
than depending upon fertilizer

This new fertilizer which presents
lime In Its most usable form Is made
by a new process of burning oyster
shells and using a burner that can
supply potash The ro.Tult Is a high
grade fertilizer costing the consumer
only $7.00 per ton. It reclaims
worn-out lands In a marvelous manner
If applied broadcast two months
ahead of ammoniated goods. It's

almost magical. Charleston freight
