FAUSSE POINTE NOTES.

Who says that cotton does not
payf Your correspondent was told
by Mr.. Leonie Landry, that he
sold last. week a small bale Of cot
ton of the "Allsn Improved" seed
cotton, weighing 1874 pounds, at
1917 cents per pound and which
melted him $68.15.
There is much complaint here
about the corn bug, which is doing
considerable damage to the corn.
There is also some complaint re-
garding the cane borer, which is
doing great deal Of damage in the
black lands planted in cane. The
planters ought to employ some
means to cause the destruction Of
this pestiferous insect.
The sudden cold weather We had
lately took the planters by sur
prise, and some say that it caused
little damage to the early planted
cotton.
Some of the old resident farm
ers here say, that the weather is
not yet over and that many OF the
planters will regret having planted
cotton so early. We earnestly
hope that their predictions will not
be verified.
Our friend, Mr.. Hazard Vaughn,
is quite busy in the swamps at
present, and reports that some OF
the swampers are waiting for a
rise to get float.
1t is with much regret that we
chronicle the serious iluess Of Mrs.
Arnold Broussard this week. DR..
Guy Shaw is the attending physi-
clan. At the present writing she
is better.
i The many friends Of Mr.. Horace
Gondran, ST., will learn with re-
greet, that he is quite i'll, and that
there is no noticeable improvement
in his malady. BEN HUR.

FAMOUS GE0RGIAN'S CHOICE.
Historian Thomas Watson ames
His Candidate For President.

Historian Thomas Watson ames
His Candidate For President.
Thomas e. Watson, the historian
who represented Georgia district in
congress, but has retired to private
life, In an open letter sets forth rea-
sons why, If In public life, he would
support Congressman William han-
dolph Hearst for the presidency. Mr..
Watson's letter follows:
Were in politics l should heartily
approve and support the candidacy OF
william r. Hearst because he has Tor
many years been exerting all the pow
er Of his millions and bis mental en-
ergies In favor of the principles ufvet.
fersonian Democracy.
II would support Mr.. Hearst because
he is a young leader inspired BY the
old spirit Of equal rights to all and
special privileges to none. because ne
favors the rights Of the many rather
than the greed of the few, because he
does not represent sectionalism OF any
sort but stands for the common people
of the entire republic. would support
him because he is young enough to
cherish a generous enthusiasm OF the
public good at the same time that he
has demonstrated capacity to succeed
| in the most trying affairs OF practical
life.
II would support him because he
| wears no mans collar and because he
| Is not the craven tool Of any ring, syn
| dictate, corporation, trust or interest.
II would support him because he has
| brains enough to realize what this pub
| lie needs and pluck enough to do battle
| for his convictions.
| "A Democrat who knows what De
| mocracy is and is loyal enough to stano
by it in this day Of decadence, would
give him the aid Of my entire strength
believing that / would thus be doing
the highest public service"
In commenting on the above utter
ance the Atlanta News says In the
same issue: "The Hon. Thomas h
Watson is no longer a politician. Nc
temptation of Office, no plea OF thu
public, has been sufficient to draw hin
from his brilliant and honorable re
tirement to engage in the personal am
billions of politics. He has made fame
| He has achieved fortune by his BRAIN
and his labor, and he is today BY gen
eral consent looked upon as WITHOUT
superior among the thinkers AND pa
triots Of the state. But whether In re
tirement or In active service, Thoma
Watson is still the great tribune OF tn
common people Of Georgia. They trus
him and follow him as they do no 9th
er man. And Tom Watson, the philos
opher, the scholar In politics, the pa
triot in retirement, viewing all meas
| ures and all men from the tranqu1lllt
of unselfishness and repose, send
through the News a message to tn
| people Of Georgia today which ring
like bugle call. It is the voice Of tn
real tribune Of the people calling tn
people to their opportunity.
''Tom Watson's letter is the most nott
BILE and significant utterance which II
presidential campaign has so ia
, evoked. It is the highest possible vii
dication Of the contention Of the New
, that Hearst is the man Of the peopl
and the choice Of the people. 1t no'
remains to see that the people hav
their choice"
