The Atlanta Constitution, easily the foremost Democratic paper in Georgia, is grotesquely comical when it suggests and recommends to Democratic congressmen from the south that they continue to denounce the protective tariff principles, but at the same time see to it that there is incorporated into the tariff schedules ample protection for whatever may be raised or manufactured in the south! As the Germans say, “Das geht aber doch ueber das Bohnenlied"—in the vernacular of the realm, “That lays the song of the bean clear over.” —South Bend Times.

WANT DUTY ON PETROLEUM Independent Oil Producer* Are Flooding Washington. Washington, April 21. —More than one hundred independent oil producers and refiners are to meet President Taft tomorrow after they have appeared before the senate finance committee in an endeavor to have a duty placed on petroleum. The oil men already in the city held a meeting today and outlined the plan of their statement to be made to the senate committee and to the president. They claim that free petroleum will seriously cripple their business inasmuch as the Standard Oil company owns the oil business in Mexico and has producing fields In many other countries. They claim that oil can be shipped from Mexico and other points to New York cheaper than the independents can produce it in the United States.

SHOWS INCREASE ...I , . i Enumeration of School Children in Decatur is Nearly Completed MET LAST EVENING School Board Goes Over the Lists, Comparing Them With Former Years The Decatur school board met last evening with the enumerators, to compare their lists as prepared. Walter Johnson in the third ward had completed his work and the other two, Andrew Welfley in the first and Ed Kintz in the second were nearly through, only a few strays being out were the folks who were found not at home. However, when the lists were compared with those of former years, it was discovered that quite a number were unaccounted for, and the boys will have to go over their wards again. Enough of the work is done though, to show that the number of children within the school age six to twenty-one years, is considerable larger than last year, and it is expected that the enumeration this year will be largest in the history of the city. The work must be concluded before May Ist, thus giving plenty of time to look up any names that have been omitted. While the work seems easy, it is a rather difficult job to secure the name of every child eligibile to listing in a town of this size.

WILL RUSH LINE Bluffton, Geneva and Celina Interurban Will Be Rushed to Completion SURVEYOR IS BUSY He Says Cars Will Haul People Into Geneva Before Snow Flies The work on the new Bluffton, Geneva & Celina Traction company's line is to be rushed when operations are commenced, according to the statement last night by R. F. Cummins. one of the men most deeply interested. He slated that when the grading is commenced it will proceed as rapidly as possible and right behind the graders will work another gang, laying ties and steel, so that the track itself will be built into Geneva in a very short time after the grade is completed. The gentleman quoted said that the company had already contracted for, or had in sight practically all of the cross ties that they will use and he said that the line will be completed into Geneva within sixty days after the grading gangs begin to work, and he said that the line would be hauling people into I Bluffton before fall. Chief Engineer Fred Davenport was out today on the line already surveyed looking after some more preliminaries. UP BEFORE THE BAR N. H.
