I ATiifi CHURCH OEDICAT ED Large Congregation Attend Ser vices in the New Church at Thomasville. The new M. E. Church at Thomasville seats 1200 people comfortably. The building from 1ascmcnt to auditorium has about 20 rooms. This includes the dining room and kitchen as well as the class-rooms for the Sunday School. The large audi torium is made by throwing the church and Sunday School nx)in into one and unlike any other ar rangement of the kind, the Audi torium is really one when the two rooms are put together. The accoustic arrangements are good which is fortunate because with most architects they have to trust to luck on this result. The inside work of the church is of oak with metal ceiling and almost all the windows are of art class, giving a pretty effect and subdued light. The pews are of oak, the latest design, made by a Chicago firm whose reputation insures comfort and beauty in a pew. This beautiful church is a credit to Thomasville and the Meth odist denomination. It was erect ed through the efforts of Rev. Parker Holmes, the pastor. Be hind him were a dozen or more of the substantial Methodist brethren of the town, the I.am beths, Dr. Julian, J. R. Myers, J. T. Cramer, and others. There were many contributors aH of whom deserve credit from the highest to the lowest. This beautiful church was de dicated yesterday by Bishop At kins and when the time came for the service every bill had been paid there was not even a col lection. Just think what a record this is for Parker Holmes and his brethren who stood with him in the work. By paying bills promptly and taking advantage of discounts they came out with an expense of about $15,000. But the way churches are usually "built these people have got $20,000 building. The services were very interes ting yesterday. There were about 1400 people present who listened attentively to the Bishop's sermon. The singing was especially good, especially the duett by Mrs. Boggs and Mrs. Hayden and the solo by Miss El la Lambeth. The Enterprise congratulates the Melhodists of our neighbor ing city on the handsome editice. MEETING FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY.

THE PAYNE History of flt9 Measure and a Summary, ol Its Principal MslCS-Tll8NeW Frej List. After one of the bitterest and one of the most momentous legislative du els In the history of tbe national cap ital the new tariff measure, the Payne bill, has been completed. Tho progress of the bill through the legislative mill of both houses was eventful enough' to sutixfy the most pronounced craven for parliamentary warfare. Tbe rea battle opened when the bill (house report 1438) was re ceived In the senate and referred to the committee on tlnunce, April 10. Aldrlch of Ithode tolniul, the leader of tbe senate Ss chairman of the nun nee committee, subsequently became chair man of the conference committee, which was appointed to adjust tbe dif ferences arising between senate and house and between Ixitli houoes of congress and tbe president. Taft For Fre Hidas. The report ot .the conference com mittee which determined whut would be the provisions 'of the l'nyne bill In Its final form was u victory for Pres ident Taft. He Informed all of the conferees that hkjjes must be placed on the free list, together with (H'tro leum, crude and rctlned. They there upon deckled to (Hit the Dlngley tariff on hides to 8 per cent. The president beard the news aud sent word that he bad meant what be hud said about free hides. The figures were then lowered to 7 per cent. Now Chairman Sereno E. Payne of the ways and means committee decided to demon strate that his original bill, providing for free bides should no longer be sub jected to the emlsculatory operations of the majority ojt the conferees. He announced that not even a B per cent duty on bides would le accepted by either himself or the house. "Without free bides this tariff bill will not pass the bouse." be wak iuoted as saying. The tariff cam off hides Install ter. and as quickly was oil put on tbe un taxed schedule, together with gaso line, benzine and naphtha. Tho leather, rough lumber, print pler, conl and iron and glove schedules ranked next in importance during the closing days of tbe controversy. If hides came In free, the Important New England boot and shoe manufac turing Interests would consent to a re duction of the tariff on tbelr products, otherwise they would continue to fight. The solving of the hides problem left It a simple matter to agree to lower duties on boots and shoes the Dlng ley rate being 25 per cent. Saddlery and harness were cut to 40 per cent, as against the Dlngley rate of 43 per cent. The president resorted to the unusual method of sending a written message to the conference committee demanding lower rates on lumber and gloves than the Payne bill provided, and be secured them. Wool and Cotton. The wool schedule underwent no change of consequence, but the entire cotton schedule was reconstructed and the phraseology greatly changed In the hope of preventing reductions through decisions by tbe courts such as have characterized tbe administration uf the Dlngley law during recent years. In many instances tbe rates Intended to be Imposed by the Dlngley law were cut by these decisions, tbe reductions in some instances being from 00 per cent to 8 per cent ad valorem. Probably the most marked rcduc Uons are found In tbe metal schedule. Beginning with a decrease In the rate ot Iron ore from 40 to IB cents per ton. there is a general reduction throughout that part of the bill, pig Iron going down from S4 to 2.50 per ton and scrap iron from $4 to II. The reduc tion on many of the items In this schedule amounts to about GO per cent. Bough lumber goes down from $1.50 to 1.29 per thousand feet, wlttj a cor responding reduction in tbe differential on dressed lumber. Tho president was subjected to se verest pressure from both the upward and downward revisionists throughout. Tho upward revisionists told him that a reduction of duty on hides and leather manufactures would make the next congress Democratic, in which rant they argued that Taft would not possibly be renominated for the pres idency. Tho "downwards" told him that Roosevelt would surely be tbe next Republican candidate for presi dent If the campaign promises for a downward revision wsr not fulfilled. The Cerporstlsn Tan. The president bad a tUghly difficult task also la preselng bis schema for a corporation tax intact In tho Payne bill. This feature la clearly, the most unpopuhw one in the eoUre measure, so far at members of tho senate and house were concerned. Many of the members argued to the president that the tax aa provided tor was uncon stitutional. ' Beaolutlona Will be Intro duced la the various state legislatures condemning the act and recommend ing Its repeal, according to statements made ty. -various congressmen In Washington: 1 The corporation tax of 1 per cent on, the entire hot Income over and above XOOO received by corporation from aH sources, exclusive of certain items, most be paid tin of before , lane 80 4fc,',ju. iro,.anthQHea4. ,: to. ask returns or statements- to the brverament tad who. take returns ot TARIFF BILL What the People Will Pay Less and More For President Tatt's Fight For Down ward Revision. statements of a fraudulent nature are subject to a fine of $1,000 and Im prisonment for one year. During tho closing days of the tar iff controversy, before the bill was voted 011 for tlnal passage, over forty Republicans who had grievances of one sort or another agaiu.st certain of the provisions of the bill Btatcd that they would vote against It. They had it in their over to defeat the meas ure and force the president to call another special session In September or October. They bad the party lead ers plainly worried for a time, but the able peacemakers at the capital, including President Taft himself, suc ceeded in calming the nulled waters at last HISTORY OF THE BILL The new tariff law will be known In history as the Payne bill, taking Its name from the chairman of the bouse committee of ways and means, the Hon. Sereno K. Payne of New York, who also had a part In framing the McKlnley and Dlngley acts. Actually It should perhaps be called the Pnyne Aldrlch bill, as the chairman of the senate finance committee has had quite as inin h to do with dictating Its final provisions as Mr. Payne. On this line of reasoning, however, there arc those who Insist that it should be called the Taft bill, as the hand oMhe president has been seen In all the moves that have shaped It from the days of the Republican national convention that nominate! Ill in anil adopted a plank for tariff revision up until the hour of tbe final fight In conference committee. When the big man In the White House made his historic fight for free raw materials and for carrying out the promises of the party. It Is the first time there has been a Change of the tariff laws In twelve years, the Dlngley act having gone Into effect In 1S!7. The inception of that law was strikingly like that of the present. In cadi case It was en acted by an extra session of congress, called as the first a t of an incoming administration. More noteworthy still each of these extra sc;slons was calhsl to meet on March II. the first one having been Issued by William Mi Kin ley of Ohio, the last by William How ard Taft of Ohio. The Tariff Plank. The agitation uilliin the Itcpuhllcnii party for a revision of the dlngley act has gone on from the days of tile "Iowa Idea" until at last It culminated In the plank In the last lb-publican platform beginning: "The Republican party declares nn equivocally for a revision of the tar Iff by a spis'ial session of congress lin mediately following the Inauguration of the next president." In his campaign on that platform Mr. Taft construed this plank as mean lng revision downward, a point that he Insisted on In his speeches and finally clinched In Ills Inaugural address w hci he said that conditions had so changed relative to the dlngley act that they "will permit the reduction of rates In certain siliedules and will require the advancement of few. If any." That meant revision downward, which was recognized substantially by the house bill, but was changed to actual re vision upward by the senate bill. It was at this point that the president quietly but firmly injected himself Into tbe fifclit In tbe conference be tween the two houses, the house stand lng behind him and forcing the senntc to yield. The Payne bill In. Its present form Is the result. Firtt Tariff Bill. The first tariff bill enacted In the United Slates was that of the First congress. The opening section of that bill stated that. In addition to securing money for the support of the govern ment, tbe tariff was adopted for "the encouragement and protection of man ufactures." From that time political parties of national scope have clashed on the issue of the tariff as to wliethe or not It should be moro than "fur revenue only." The expenses of the war of 1S12 necessitated a material Increase In th. tariff, but an adjustment occurred two years after tho close of the war through an act prepared by Henry Clay. In 1820 the tariff was Jumped up 1. few pegs, and a year lster It went higher, from 81 to 41 per cent. When, In 1832, a bill establishing a protective tariff policy wns passed South Carolina refused to recognise the validity of the increased duties and threatened to secede. President Jackson had to dispatch a warship to South Carollnalan waters. A horizontal reduction of the tariff took plad In 1833. Twelve years later, under Polk's administration, a bill drafted by Robert J. Walker, secretary of th treasury, waa adopted, standing mildly for the protective policy. This btU lasted until 18BT, when a reduction to 304 per cent occurred on the over age duties. Actually a free trade y am, this low tariff proved adequate for all government needa until tbe out break of the civil war, when an In creased Income was necessitated. Th Morrill Bill. IM. u.mIH A -m .on. mv': w sums an ui oui iikiwhu , flatfcf about v one-third, and the tax : was extended to Include tea, coflee , and sugar. Internal revenue was col lected, beginning In 1802. and two years later the duties were raised 50 per cent for a period of ninety days. After a succession of tariff measures to the war's Hi sc a ,'nrni of let I -'hit h e a Put In 1STO I I 7J made tli'N n t he li -t were restored In I -71 erace dull N'.. per comudsslon was ap n of this i i lined. were I which X I lie :i v In : , I tariff Int..

It was In the early eighties that William I! Morris if Illinois. I icnioiT.it le chairman of ways and means, prepared his well known hor lzontal reduction of 'JO per cent on all taxisj products, which was defeated. during ( 'lc i eland's first administra tion the Mills bill was u powerful Is sue, and In 1N.NN the tariff tight result h! in the election of Itena"in liar rtson to the presidency. Ho mihk! for a high protective tariff. As a result the McKlnley bill was enacted, putting the duties over the marks reached dur lng the civil war. The Wilion Bill. Hut the revulsion which followed re sulted In the re-election of Cleveland In 181)2. wltli a lk'tnocratlc congress. Then resulted the Wilson bill, provid ing for wholesale reductions, particu larly as regarding Iron and steel man nfactures. It should lie noted that the Dlngley bill it. 1NSI7 retained praetl cally the Iron and steel duties laid down In the Wilson measure. .Though William McKlnley wns elect ed on the litiaiiclal Issue In lK'.XI. bis firsfiaot nftr liclng sworn In as presl dent was the calling of an extra ses slou of congress to repeal the Wilson Gorman tariff bill. The result of that session was the dlngley law, named for Its nnlhor. Nelson Dlngley, Jr., of Maine, which put the schedules prac tically back in the McKlnley basis.
