He ad dressed them in part as follows: "One of the honors that I have espe cially prized since I have been President has been my membership in the Brother hood of Locomotive Firemen; and while I have never yet found any body of my fellow citizens all . of whose wishes I could meet while I was President, I am bound to say that I think I have come nearer being able to feel that I ought to do what you railroad men asked than any other one body that I have come in contact with while I have been Pres ident. "It has been a very great pleasure to me to work with you. I felt that the railwaymen of the country showed to a peculiar degree certain qualities that I prize in any citizen-r-the qualities of nerve, of hardihood, of capacity to obey and to obey like that (slapping his hands together), and the capacity to take responsibility and assume command when necessary. "I would give nothing for a man . who cannot obey when it is necessary and cannot act on his own responsibility and assQme command when it is necessary. Both qualities are needed." , CIRCUS TEST BLGHS DOli OK 3,000 PEOPLE ACTOR CARRIED DOWN WITH CAN VAS AND BOTH LEGS ARE BROKEN. ' Columbia. Ala, Oct. 14.

The big tobacco break on the local, market, which began Monday morning, continues to hold sway at the four warehouses.

TAFT ON Citizen Taft, a for a Big Job, Says Dunn of Republican Candidate Correspondent Gives a Clear the Man Who Is Leading Party, on National Ticket, r and Who Will Speak Here Tomorrow. : BY ROBERT Political, as well lis military battles, are quickest won when the captain is in view to lead his hosts. A leader must lead personally. The followers must sec him oi; there cinnot lie that grand en thusiasm that comes only through the e.xhiliiation of personal loyalty which leads to victory, whatever be the odds. Personal contact, in other words, is the strongest factor in the awakening of those qualities which conquer. ..America, is the special country-where the demand for personal "opportunity to judge the worth of the aspirant for pub lic office is most keen. The American people are unwilling to take any man's word for their. political faith. They -care little for indorsements of riiy candidate, even by those high in authority, and they insist on making their decisions themselves. They trust their own judg ment. They cannot be marshalled, r swung in crowds, or delivered, by iiny political heeler, but demand opportun ity to net as independent, units. And when it so happens that the candidate is;.. well fitted to meet his fellow-men to en jov association with his fellow-citi zens at close range to make good friends at every stop, with every speech, it is imperative that the people see him. "Citizen" Taft His Best Name. William Howard Taft has held many interesting titles, from those of his col lege days to the complimentarv sobri quets bv which he is often introduced to the audiences of the time.

No taint of the demagog is in this man. ilis interest in his fellow-men is verv human in its large-heartedness, and he has ability to express that interest with convincing friendliness.
