Later In tho day I left tho main road nnd took tho nar row cause lino which 1 was told fol lowed tho bed of tho Savannah river nnd passed through several of the most historic countlos of tho atate, rich In memories of the pant and peopled mostly br rpmrmntH of th nM vJnnf.ii and antebellum fatnllitw. who had in the pnit made them the most lnflucn tlnl centers of the state. The railroad wended its way through n beautiful rolling country studded with pines and cedars. Tho wild flow. crs grew up to the very tracks, and the oarth seemed carpeted with soft. velvety moss. Through the pines I caught glimpses occasionally of state ly old residences, with their gardens unkempt nnd the woods growing in wild profusion. Where tho fences had fallen they had been left to decay, but Ihe Gelds were plowed and showed signs of cultivation at a cost of great labor. vo stopped at several stations, and around each there was an air of happy lnuoicnco that lent a charm to tho dl lapidated wooden sheds which stood lor depots, and in front of theeo there was always to be seen enmo anrlnunt Cd wagon or carryall. Tbeso latter were Invariably filled with half grown boys and girls laughing and chattering ilfce a lot of magpies as the train pull ed up. They were there nresumablv 10 get tno mail, but as I thought more likely to fichnnrn hit nf i-nunln ,in 10 una out wbat was "going on" down tho road.

SENATORS ASK VIEWSJN COINS Want to Hear From People on Three Cent and Halt Cent Pieces, OHIO IDEA IS UNDER FIRE center, llko n Chlneso piece, were pre pared by Georgo 15. Roberts, director or tno mint Senator Oliver was tho first to voice opposition to the now coins with n me morial from tho chamber of commerce of York, I'a., protesting to the senate. The American Street Hallway nsso elation and various street car lines of New Tork also havo cotnmunlented with tho finance coninilttoo deploring any such additions to tho minor coins. Tho argument of tho street car com panics is that while Ohio cities might 1k convcnlonced, every other city In tho country would bear tho burden, for patrons would pay faro In ono-half cent pieces or two threo-cont pieces, compelling tho conductors to carry loads of chnnge. Thinks Churchss Would Suffer. One individual who took a lighter vein sent a protest to tho committee ostensibly In bchnlf of the churches, arguing thnt contributors would drop n one-half cent or throe cont pleco in tho box in lieu of tha customary nickel or dime. Tho proposed three cent plcc Is one-thirty-second of nn Inch larger than the prosed nickel, o thnt after being handled nnd worn slightly it would work havoc with the receipts of vend ing machines or telcphouo companies which operate nickel slot devices. "We will proceed deliberately and not recommend any such Important fhango In tho colnngo of the nation without giving everybody an oppor tunity to n henrd." declared Senator Penrose, chairman of tho flnnnco com ml t tee. "No date has been fixed for tnklng It up, nud with tho tariff bills, which must bo atteodod to, boforo us at present thoro Is no telllnff when we will reach It In tho meantlmo we would like to know who la Interested, so that when It is reached they can be notified to appear nnd present their views."

WhoUicr It ovci win omergo from that committee is problematical. However, tho senators would like to know whether tho coun try does or docs not want tho coins, for on some meeting day they may do- slro to act. Tho bill was passed by tho booso May 0, where It went through unob trusively. Some of tho senators op jiii-iii-uucu utai mo proposition was serious when It came before them tho following day. Senator Pomcrcno of Ohio wanted It to go to tho committee on standard weights and measures, which naa received a similar bill In troduced by him April but Sena tors Smoot nnd Lodge Insisted that it go to the financo committee, and the f-enato on n vote refused to agreo to tho Ohio senator's motion. Idea Originates In Ohio. So far tho proposal to change tho national coinage has been almost ex clusively an Ohio undertaking. It originated In Cleveland, where they havo n threo cent car fare, nnd Con gressman Bulkley of that city intro duced a bill to create a coin for that particular need. Toledo also cams into lino In support of tho scheme. Then some ono revived the Idea of tho one-half cent piece, which comes up at regular periods, and It was tacked to tho bill. llcforo this tho treasury department had suggested abolishing for sanitary purposes the present copper cents, which corrodo nnd affect employees who handle them In largo quantities. The Intention is to mako them of tho samo composition, 75 per cont copper and 25 per cent nickel, ns tho present 5 cent piece. To tho bill making this comparatively slight chango in tho one cent pleco was added tho propoeal to creato tho two now coins. Secretary of tho Treasury MacVeagli did not oppose tho new coins, nor did ho approve them. Tho protests did not start to como in until after tho bill bad passed and tho treasury ofllclalu took tho nttltudo that congress, not tbey, should determine tho coinage re gardless of their opinions whether it was unwieldy, Duinmlea of tho coin, tho threo cent ono. with a nolo in fho usmocratic Plan Formed Also For Aiding Party In Republican 8tates.

According to tho Burleson plan, there would be ono delegate, from each con- tresslonul district, but districts repre- ented in congress by a Democrat would bo entitled to nn additional del egate, or two delegates to a Demo cratic congrosRional district. If a state Is represented in Uie senate by two Democratic senators it shnll havo four dolcgatew at large, If by ona Democrat nnd ono Republican it shall have three t largo und if represented by two Re publicans only two delegates at large. rne representation for a territory would be the samo as for a atato at large. ir. llurleson fools that his nlau would conuueo to a greater party In terest in tbo congressional fights in the states with a view to holding or obtaining stronger representation in the national conventions.
