That "FelIow" Watson.

An Albanian, conspicuous in pub
lie life, is reported as speaking of
Watson as "that fellow" This does
the gentleman an injustice and Wat
son an injustice. Watson is no fell
low. He is a we'll educated man,
trained In his profession of the law,
sought after by courts throughout
the district in which he lives, the
editor of one of the most interesting
papers il the country, man of learn
ing, acquainted with books, man,
indeed, whose whole life is spent
with books, an honorable, honest man
and loved by his neighbors and
respe ,ted by all who are not blinded
by partisanship. This man is no
"fellow." He is gentleman of learn
ing, industry, reputation and means.
No man in his own community will
cast 8 stone at his private life or deny
that he is painfully punctilious in his
dealings with his fellow man. No
man impates dishonor to him in his
presence and those who know him
best do not impute it to him in his
absence. A man who has met the
best men in Georgia on the stump
and routed them can't be fellow if
he has other virtues. Watson is one
Of the best equipped men in public
life, as honorable as st. Paul and as
brave as julius Caesar. The gentle
man who alluded to him, contemptu-
ously, as shat fellow" does himself
as much injustice as he does Mr..
Watson.

A Fair Price for Cotton.
Editor Peoples Party Paper;

Editor Peoples Party Paper;
For the first time since the close Of
the war the Southern farmer is in q
position to obtain fair price for cot
ton. Estimating the acreage at %,
100000 and the yield at 1874 pounds,
which is Mr.. Hester's estimate of the
average yield for the last ten years,
we would only make 8,648,000 bales
of cotton. The yield will be much
below the average and leading cotton
statiotians estimate the acreage less
than 100000 acres. Last Septem-
Der the cotton reserve on the 1st Of
the month was near 100000 bales,
thus it will be near 100000 bales
of old cotton. The consumption of
cotton this year has been about
100000 bales of American cotton.
1t is plain that there will not be cot
ton to run the mills until next Sep
TENDER, and it is October before our
cotton generally reaches the mills,
and Europe commences its cotton
= oar on October LIST.
Cotton is much shorter than it ap
pears to be from the statement of the
cotton situation. While the above is
true the early maturity Of the crop
and the rushing of it to market is
depressing the market and if we do
not stop it we will sell our cotton
again for less than the cost of pro-
duotion. We can get 10 cents for it
if we will hold it on until our obliga-
tons are due or we can crowd it on
the market and get 5 or 6 cents tor
it. Every paper in the South should
urge the farmer to hold his cotton
until his obligations are due.

The Farmers Union.

In recent issue we published an
address by Mr.. J. NJ. McMiohael
showing what had been accomplished
by the Farmers Unionin this county
After carefully studying the work
done, as set forth in that address, we
feel more fully impressed with the
work of this cooperative system,
and the great work that might be
accomplished if there was such a
cooperative union in each county in
the state.
We have been informed that this
union saves to the farmers rs pounds
of cotton on each ton of acid used,
in addition to the benefits already
mentioned. -

been called dream :, this is one OF
his dreams that HAS Produced abund-

work on political liz rs, hs has also
been at work on ? aoticsl lines as
well. His splendid executive ability
on CO cooperative line and the inter.

business has made i a grand success.

Let us Reason Together,

Pending the meeting of the Peo-
pies party national committee, it
might be we'll for the Populsts of
Texas to talk matters over in a dis
passionate way and reason together.
Texas Populists enjoy the consola-
ton of having done their duty and
of having held their position in the
middle of the road. Texas Popu-
lists are in no way responsible for
the mistakes and errors of commit
tees or conventions, if such exist.
Texas Populists have kept the faith
and fought good fight on principle,
and their consciences are clear. Now
let us reason together.
There is no denying the fact that
very grave mistake was made by
the national committee in not hold.

Texas stood up 1913 strong for mid

carry out 8 principle, or set OF prin.
ciples, drawing its inspiration from
the fountain of the common masses
OF the people. The moment the
party deviated from straight-for-
ward, honest course, it erred and
sinned against its creator. The Mer-
curry saw plainly that there was a
tendency on the part OF the COM
mittee and some self styled leaders
to drift away from the people, and
it sounded the alarm, and it rejoices
now that for errors and blunders
committed the Peoples party of
Texas is in no measure responsible.
But there is no need probably in
shedding tears over split milk. The
emergency is confronting the party,
and some decisive action must be
taken. The St. Louis convention
nominated the head of the Demo
cratic ticket and selected Hon. Tom
Watson as a running mate. If Mr..
Watson is to be the defacto vice
presidential candidate, with Mr.. Sew
all withdrawn, then the Populists
and Democrats will be forced to
combine on presidential electors, but
if Mr.. Sewall is not withdrawn there
ia no other alternative than to have
an electoral ticket for both parties,
as the Populists will not withdraw
Mr.. Watson.
This is an entangling alliance
that the Populists should have kept
clear of, but having been entangled,
the question is how to extricate
themselves. The only safe and hon
orable way the Mercury sees is for
the Peoples party committee to place
candidate for president on the
ticket with Mr.. Watson, and make
square Peoples party fight.
The Peoples party may as well
disband as to support Bryan and
Sewall. In fact it is a dangerous
ezpedient to support Bryan on a
ticket with Watson, but the great
body OF the Populists will agree to
go that far, but no further.
In agreeing to support MFR. Bryan
in connection with Mr.. Watson, the
P0pulists of Texas at least want it
distictly understood that they donot
endorse the platform upon which
Mr.. Bryan was placed, nor do they
condone one of the many sins of
Democracy. Populists will never
endorse government issue of bonds,
nor will they sanction a financial
system that is based on bonds; but
they are willing to support Mr.
Bryan if Mfr. Watson is to remain on
the ticket, although they have grave
apprehensions that Bryan democracy
is wolf IN sleeps clothing, and that
the same old hungry wolf will be
disclosed as soon as the Bryan pelt
is pulled of. The bulk of the pops
are, however, willing to try MIR.
Bryan, notwithstanding their DIS
belief in the ability of the leper to
change his spots.
As far as the Mercury is concerned
it said, "no Watson, no Bryan" first;
it will say it last. In fact, middle
of the road ticket is its preference
even at this stage of the game

The slcyole q political power.

Nowadays the world may easily be
divided into people who wheel and
people who do not and the former
class seem to hold the balance of pow
er, possessing as they do the solidarity
due to this single enthusiasm. The BIZ
cycle has become power in economics
and politics Its association, the
League of American Wheelmen, sue
cessfully fights. the great railroads and
is hearkened to by municipal and State
| legislatures. When the wheelmen of
Chicago wanted to visit far Western
meet they insisted that their fares
should be at one-half price, and the
railroads were terrorized into submis-
sion by the threat of having 150 900
wheelmen solidly arrayed against them.
The transportation lines in many
States have been forced to do away
with express charges on bicycles and
treat them as checkable baggage. In
several localities the local bicycle as
sociations have decided that owners Of
wheels ought to be generally taxed 81
head for the sake of obtaining better
cycling roads, and forthwith the legis-
lative powers bowed before them In
the New York City streets sprinkling-
carts made uncomfortabl BILE riding. and
an ordinance was at once obtained OBJ
liging the water-cart drivers to leave a
strip of unsprinkled asphalt three feet
wide next to each curbing. Legisla-
tors are busy with expert testimony on
the question of the danger of carrying
small children on bicycle handle bars.
The League of American Wheelmen is
an institution which any Presidential
candidate would be loath to offend. -

TAKE CARE OF YOUR TEETH

Don't blame your dentist for poor
work if your newly filled teeth ache
when brought in contact with ice-col1
water.
Don't brush the teeth with soap un-
less you want them to turn yellow in
time, and don't use charcoal paste, be.
cause it will discolor the gums.
After using acid foods and drink
don't fail to rinse the mouth thorough.
ly with tepid water in which pinch CT
baking soda has been dropped.
Don't fail to cleanse the teeth even
more frequently in summer than in
winter, for heat causes greater fermen-
tation of the particles of food left be
tween the teeth than cold.
Don't take iced drinks into the mouth
too fast. Ice brought in direct contact
with the teeth cracks the enamel, con-
tracts the metal filings in the teeth
causing them to leak end decay again.
Don't stop eating candy unless you
want to, for candy Of itself does not
hurt the teeth 1t is only by allowing
portions of candy to remain on and be
tween the teeth long enough to decom-
pose or sour that the teeth are injured

SILVER AND THE POOR MAN.
Cheap Money Disarranges All business
R,la&to,a

helaCiOuS.
Every crank who ventures to proselyte
for free silver seems to think that the
poor man is his most promising game.
The doctrine he presents is that more
money is needed that the poor man may
have plenty. He does not say how the
poor man Is to get any more money,
which is the important thing, nor that
cheap money is the one thing the poor
man can stand less ably than the rich
man. The poor man., the worllingman,
or the farmer, are served only when
they have the best money obtainable.
Suppose for n moment that free silver
should drive the gold dollar out of cir
culation. The first effect is on the poor
man. When he receives his weekly
wages it is paid in the cheap money.
He is the first loser. Ee can buy less
with it than with the higher priced
money, of course. If he happens to be
earning $12 q week and the dollars are
cut down from gold basis to silver
basis he will get 12 dollars, worth pos
sibly 20 cents each, or rSs.40, instead of
the value that prevails when the gold
standard is accepted. With cheap money
prices will go up. What he buys he will
have to pay more for. Manufacture
ers are not going to produce their wares
and sell them for tho same number of
dollars when the dollars are worth less
money. The poor man will catch it in
both directions.
Cheap money disarranges all business
relations There ia no sl1ch n tbipu as
one standard for one class and another
for another class. The talk of the debt
or's money and the creditors money is
bunko. Every man is debtor and cred
itor all the time. The worlsingman is
the creditor while he is earning his
wages, until he is paid. He is debtor
for the few things he buys without pay
ing for when he gets them. AS he pays
cash for much of what he buys, and al
lows all his wages to stand until the
end of the week or month, he is cred
itor more than he is debtor. The cheap
money, which is to benefit the debtor,
would benefit the. employer who owes
him wages, and who pays the wages in
the deprecated coin.
There is but one standard desirable,
and that is the best dollar that can be
made. The standard is now fixed at
trifle more than % grains of pure gold.
The aim of the country is to keep all
other dollars, gold, silver or paper, up
to that standard and not debase or
cheaper any of them.-Pittsburgh
Times.
