Reports About His Conference With
Watson MisreIiresented Him.
Atlanta, Nov. 21.-Congressman T.
w. Hardwick of the Tenth Congress-
ional district, gave out an interview
here to-day in which he states the re-
ports with regard to his visit to Thom-
as E. Watson last Friday have wholly
misrepresented him and done him in
justice.
Mr. Hardwick says he has had some
correspondence with Mr. Watson with
a. view to influencing him, IL possible,
10 abandon his fig4St which could only
mean a division ofsthe white people of
the South to their own detriment and
disadvantage, and 1T was in pursuance
of this correspondence that he went to
Thomson on Friday. He has all along
sought to dissuade Mr.. Watson from
his purpose, he says, at least until laws
could be passed disfranchising the ne
gro in Georgia, and then a division II
it must come, would not make so much
difference.
Mr. Hardwick states positively that
he will not enter the race for Governor.
In conclusion, referring to an article
in the Augusta Chronicle about his
visit to Mr.. Watson at Thomson. Mr.,
Hardwick says: THE suggestion in
the article that personal ambition was
the motive for my visit to and confer
ence with Mr.. Watson is unfair, unjust
to me and absolutely unfounded in
fact. While / confidently hope and
firmly believe that the people of Geor-
gia will have the chance in their next
state primary to pass on this issue and
while do not doubt their favorable
verdict upon it, yet / can sincerely
state that 1 am not now and may
never be candidate for Governor of
Georgia. If 1 am ever an aspirant 1t
will be for the nomination of my own
party. 1 hope that among the distin-
guished and able gentlemen already
suggested, who virtually admit their
candidacy, some one will be found who
will be brave enough to make this fight
for all the white people of Georgia; If
so. he will win"

THINNING FRUIT,

Undoubtedly it does pay to thin
peaches. Because of the inclination
of many varieties to grow in clusters,
1t is almost impossible for all of the
fruit to attain marketable size, so
that thinning usually pays. Whether
1t will pay to thin other fruit is n mat.
ter which must be determined by
every grower for himself. In the eX.
perience of the writer, it has been
found that when the fruit goes to a
market paying good price, it will pay
to thin the fruit Mt least TO the extent
of shaking the tree to dislodge the
fruit that will drop anyway, and then

the trees to thin wherever it seems as
If it could be done to advantage.
OF course, the lads will have TO work
under the direction of some one who
knows, and the work should not be too
finely carried on; that is, the thinning
should be done only in cases where

EARLY CULTIVATION.

Few people appreciate the value of
early cultivation of the soil about

all the growth of trees is made in the
first few weeks and months of spring
and summer. If cultivation is not
given at this critical period the trees
will be stunted in growth no matter
how much cultivation Is given in July.
August and September. Just as soon
as the ground is dry enough TO work
nicely in the spring cultivation should
begin among all kinds of small and
large fruits. If this early cultivation
is not given the ground is liable to be.

The feeding of grain or of highly

FRUIT PACKAGES.

Everything points to a general adop.
ton of the box as the package to be
used by orchardists the coming sea-
son, and apples of good quality will be
packed in them TO the exclusion of
barrels, especially where a discrimin-
ating market is being catered to. The
berry basket of the season is made OF
paper, and it is sold at price which
greatly reduces the loss Of the grower
which has been quite a sum on this
item. The crate of paper is also shown,
but it looks too light, and is still an ex.
pertinent. A few grape baskets of pa.
per are also on the market, but offer
the same objection as the berry crates.
A start along the right road has been
made, however, and fruit growers Will
be glad to encourage manufacturers.
A point which all fruit growers
should bear in mind is that the city
resident has little room for storage,
and hence will pay much higher prices
In proportion for good fruit in small
packages than ordinary fruit in large
packages. They will also pay more for
a dozen fresh eggs neatly packed in a
clean box than they will for the same
number, more or less soiled, taken
from a bushel basket. Try It. and

CARE OF NEWLY SET TREES.

All who set trees recognize the i'm.
portance of having them make n
strong, healthy growth during the first
summer that they may safely pass
through the first winter Particularly
is this necessary in sections where the
winters are severe. OF vital import.
ance is the conservation of the mos.
ture in the soil. 1t is of little use tC
pour water on the surface of the soil
about the trees, for, if the soil is at
all of n clay texture, the sun will SO
bake it that little of the moisture will
get 10 the roots of the trees.
One OF the best plans is to keep the
surface soil loosened until after a
drenching rain, and then, before the
sun has a chance to bake the surface
soil, place a mulch of hay or straw
about the tree, putting it on several
inches deep and extending for two or
three feet about the tree. This will
conserve the moisture in the soil. OF
course, the best plan of all is TO carry
on the summer cultivation of the sur.
face soil between the rows, thus oh.
tanning the dust mulch; even then the
mulch of hay or straw can be used TO
advantage close 10 the trees.

Ancient Cartoonists.

ing in its columns some Egyptian war
cartoons 1900 years old. Pharaoh s
chariot Is drawn by dogs, his soldiers
are represented by rats. The enemy's
army is composed of cats. A single
combat between a rat and a cat, each
armed with a sword. is graphically de-
picted. 1t is explained that the draw.
ing was the work of a caricaturist of
renown in the year 100 B. c. An
other cartoon represents a donkey and
lion playing a war game of draughts.
The caricaturist was also a writer. He
describes the soldier of the period as
the victim of bad vlctuals" and water.
This would indicate tnat, Ike Uncle
Sam, the Egyptians had their "em.
balmed beer problem. Many of the
ideas expressed by the ancient cartoon.
lists in their productions are found in
the drawings of modern carlcaturists.
There is nothing new under the sun.
A wise man once observed that all the
funny stories are based upon and are
variations of five humorous stories
originating with the ancients. Ap-
parently the cartoonists and the joke
makers of the twentieth century are
revamping some mighty old material.

On the margin of the snow,

On white and downy bed,
And some are in the garret
With a clout beneath their head.
And some are on the cold hard earth,
Whose mothers have no bread.
