he went South and engaged in the dry
goods business in Mobile, Ala. He was
remarkably successful, and . short time
afterward purchased one OF the most valua-
BILE plantations on the Alabama river, ct
OF the community to such an extent that he
was elected to prominent positions in both
the Cotton Exchange and Board of Trade
in Mobile. At the breaking out of the
rebellion he not only offered his
own services to the cause Of the South, but
sacrificed his fortune. Jefferson Davis APP
pointed Mr.. Watson staff colonel, and with
Davis he served through the entire rebellion.
At the close OF the war Colonel Watson re-
moved to jackson, Miss, where he engaged
in the cotton business extensively, and
finally became the leading spirit of the New
Orleans cotton exceange. Here he remained
until four months ago, when, being appointed
administrator OF q valuable estate belong
ing TO his uncle, he removed with his wife
and daughter to the North. Subsequently
his family went to Canada to spend the sum-
mer. They were expected back within few
days In addition to his work Of admins

proposed worlds fair occupied his time.
Colonel Watson has for some tune been

To overcome this desire, he has of
late been in the habit of taking drugs,
and 1t is thought that while In dependent

A Cure for Communism.
gPost-DisnatchI


III every man in France had q home, there
would be no Communists in France. III
every man in Germany had q home there
would be no Socialists in Germany. The
same applies to England and every other
country. Where q man has something that
he can call his own, he desires its protection.
When he improves it he is working for
himself.
The independence of human nature calls
for the possession OF something that is real
and permanent The man who has q home
of his own is king to a certain degree;
the man who has not is a slave to q certain
degree. Those who owned PARIS would
never have pulled down the Column Ven
dome, or burned and sacked the Hotel de
Vile, or ravaged the art halls of the Tuille-
ries. 1t is the homeless rabble that seeks to
pull down and destroy city. Perhaps
there will never be q country in which
every man will have home, but this is
country in which every man may have
home. There are no barriers here to the
possession of real property except such as
any man may overcome.
This is why Communism and Socialism
can never become strong CROUCH in this
country to excite grave apprehensions.
But it is not so in the old monarchical
countries OF Europe. There the old feudal
system still asserts itself. The lands are
held by few in vast estates and the mass
of the people can never be more than
hard working man OF any kind may labor
all his life, and save his earnings, and yet
probably never become the possession OF
any real property. This is humiliating and
demoralizing, making the few masters OF the
many. A farming community is the safest
community in the world. And why? Be-
cause every man is q lord and master-the
possessor and controller of interests that he
desires to preserve. But ours is the farmers'
republic, and country in which the msjor-
ity of the people own land and houses and
homes and property generally need not fear
communism.

New York Star.l
Four months ago Colonel George F. Wat
son arrived in Jersey City from the South,
and engaged suite of rooms at the Phila-
delphia Hotel. Els personal address and
the letters of credence which he held
in his possession entitled him to re-
spect and consideration. Among the
documents was his appointment from the
governor of the State of Mississippi, al COM
missioner to the proposed Worlds Fair.
Yesterday, after taking his usual walk, he
entered the billiard room of the hotel, and
seated himself in q chair. Believing him to
be asleep, the players at the conclusion of
their games left the room, taking no further
notice OF him. One of the attaches of the
hotel afterward entered the saloon and sa-
luted Colonel Watson, but receiving no
recognition, he approached the supposed
sleeper, and found that he was dead.
As the colonel was Q general favorite In
the hotel, the announcement Of his death
caused deep regret. His body was conveyed
to his room. and received all requisite atten-
ton.
George r. Watson was born In the city of
New York in 1919. His father was Hon.

THE FALL OF The YEAR.

Oh! the elms are yellow,
The apples are mellow,
The corn is ripe in the ear;
The birds leave of nesting,
The earth begins resting,
Because tits the fall o. the year.
The crickets are calling,
The red leaves are falling,
In the field the stubble is sere;
The day of the clover
And wild bee is over,
Because tits the fall % the year.
