Letter to 0. L. Kimborouph.

Dear Sir: If you could get the ex
elusive sale of Il Sweeter sugar for five
miles around-2 pound as sweet as 9
pound OF usual sugar, and cost nc
more-you'd jump at it would't you:
Ihere wouldn't be 100 pounds OF
any other sugar sold in a year in your
town; you'd gobble the trade: and it
wouldn't hurt your whole business.
Deyoe is like that among paints: it
is Twice as sweet as some; it is sweeter
than any; not one exception: one gal
Ion IS two or One-and-a-h half or one
and-three-quarterS.
Better than that: paint has to be
painted; that costs 81 to 81 a gallon.
a gallon saved is So to 81 saved in
labor, besides the paint.
Even that isn't all A gallon De-
voc put-0n wears as long as two gallons
put-on at cost of 81 to 81 gallon
and two gallons more put-on at So to
s4 gallon. Count all that. The
paint that wears double costs less by
) gallons of paint and three gallons of
painting; that's about $15 gallon for
those superfiuOus gallons.
That's as good as a double-sweet
sugar, isn't it?
Yours truly

BRYAN TO GOV. VARDANAN
The Former Writes Letter Dis
cussing Railroads.
NO CRITICISM OF GOVERNORS INTERVIEW
Says the Activity of Railroads i'm Pol
itiCs Forced Him to His Conc!u-
siOn-Government Ownership
Will Stop Corruption.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. l6.-GOverno
Nardaman has just made public let
ter which he received several DAYS age
from William j. Bryan, which, as the
context shows, is in reference to the
interview or statement given out by
the Governor directly after the Mad
iSon Square Garden speech and during
the furore created by the government
ownership declaration. The letter of
Colonel Bryan is as follows:
Lincoln, Nebr.. Sept. 8. 1906.
Hon. J. X. Vardaman. Jackson,
Miss: My Dear GOvernor-Your in
terview is not subject to criticism
from my standpoint. [ stated my
conclusions after an investigation Of
the subject for some years. The main
thing that led me to believe in govern
ment ownership was the corruption
brought into politics by the private
ownership Of railroads. You may not
have had the same experience in the
South, but wa have seen the railroad
attorney selling his conscience as we'll
as his brains to the railroad: we have
seen him packing conventions, nomi-
mating Judges and distributing passes
to further railroad political interests.
| have reached the conclusion that we
can not stop this corruption by any
thing short Of the government owner
ship of railroads. | first made this
statement two years ago, and Subse-
quent experience has deepened my
conviction.
Your interview states all that YOU
could be expected to say, not yet
having lost hope in the efficacy of re-
gulati0n. L think that fhe position
that you take is the only consistent
one for those who are opposed to
government ownership at this time.
You leay, the future to determine
whether SATISFACTORY regulation is
possible. If you lind regulation i'm
possible you favor ownership. | might
ask you to go step farther and say
that in case you found it necessary to
favor government ownership you pre-
fer the dual plan, which leaves as
much power as possible in the hands |
OF the State and limits the Federal |
ownership to such trunk lines as may
be necessary for interstate commerce.
You are right in saying that / pre-
fer private ownership if | thought |
private ownership consistent with |
pure politics and justice to the pub
lie. | came reluctantly to my pres
ent position, and believe that you and
other Democrats will be reluctantly
brought to the same position. AS
for the party it can only act when the
voters are ready to act, and it is i'm
possible at this to say how public op-
plnlon will support the suggestions
tnat l have made. Very truly yours.
w. J. BRAN.

SCOTT LOSES HIS TEMPER
MIR. Brewers Speech Provokes
His Wrath.
IT WAS A VERY SENSATIONAL INCIDENT
Scott Brands Brewers Statement as
TlaliCiOus!y FaIse-He Refused to
Yield to Question from Brew
er or Give Him the Floor.

The most sensational thing that ha.
yet occurred in the gubernatOrial cam
paign happened at the barbecue Thurs
day at Greenwood Everything wa:
in a furOre and excitement for severa
minutes when the Hon. ChaS. Scott
branded a stated made by the Hon
Earl Brewer as malicinuSly false.
The candidates were each allowed
fOrty-tive minutes and appeared in the
following order; Thomas, Brewer.
SiSSOn, Noel and Scott. The first
three speakers appeared before the
dinner hour. A shower Of rain came
up about the time dinner was an
nounced Il o'clock which prolonged
the hour Of reaSSembling and made it
| quite late when the last gubernatOrial
candidate. Hon. ChaS. Scott, began to
speak.
Mr.. Brewers speech was dignified
StateSmanlike address in which he
ably handled the various political
topics now in the public mind. He
took occasion to say that be had
learned from the public press that
been challenged by one of his distin-
guiShed opponents in his absence and
that the gentleman was now present
and he (Brewer) was going to repeat
those statements and if the gentleman
referred to desired to challenge them
let him now speak or forever after hold
his peace. What Mr.. Brewer said was
in substance as follows: That one of
the candidates for governor had writ
ten letter or letters to persons in this
state soliciting their support in which
he referred to certain prominent
gentlemen who were supporting him
and among those referred to was two
or more leading attorneys of the lead
ing rail roads of the state. Mr. Scott
waited until he was making his speech
and then challenged the statement
and called Mr.. Brewer to produce the
letter. Mr.. Brewer asked him if he
would yield the floor for fifteen min
uteS for him to comment on as we'll as
read the letter, or if he (ScotO would |
yield to question. Mr.. Scott shouted |
Read the letter" and Brewer re-
mained in his seat and thereupon Mr..
Scott turned and denounced the state
ment as wilfully and maliciously false
and said that if it were not for the !
ladies present he would use a sharp
crisp word of only three letters.
Brewer then arose and insisted that if
Mr.. Scott would yield the floor fifteen
minutes and he did not prove that he
lScott) wrote the letter, that he
>Brewer) would withdraw from the
race, provided Scott would withdraw
II he did prove the letter. However,
Mr.. Scott still held the floor. The
question CT the power and interfer-
ence of railroads in politics had been
discussed by Mr.. Brewer, but he had
said naught that would reflect upon
MIR. SCOTS integrity or honor and
he fact that the distinguished I
,entleman from Bolivar became SO
indignant and lost his temper will do
lim no good in the campaign. The {
natter will dOubtle SIS come up at their l
lext meeting when the letter will un- ,
loubtedly be in evidence.

GRANT OAK TO BE PRESERVED.

Tree Beneath Which Communication as
 Brigndier General Was Received. St. Louis Republic.
 One of Missourfs historic spots. . private park at Ironton. eighty-eight miles south of St. Louis. containing the giant oak tree under which Ulysses & Grant stood when he received his conn mission as a brigadier general. and the spring from which he sia<ed his thirst during his eneampment there. was sold by a circuit court auctioneer a few days ago at the door of the Iron county courthouse.
 The tract of eight acres. known lo- caliy as Emerson Park, was knocked down to pr. W. J. Smith Of Ironton for s7.000. It Is understood that pr. Smith was bidding In the interest of an Ironton syndicate which has acquired the place with the object of improving 1t and selling 1t to the United States governments if possible. for national park.
 Emerson park Is famous for it's pos session of the Grant oak. This tree Is to Missouri what the Washington elm is to Cambridge. Mass, or the Charter oak. when 1t stood. was to Hartford, Conn. During the ilore than fopty-four years that have elapsed since Grant made his headquarters at the spot the tree has been visited by thousands of St Louisans. many of whom have so- journed in Arcadia. half . mile to the south, for the summer rest and recrea- tion, and by many tourists from fara- way points.
 The Grant oak is one of the first ob- jeots pointed out to the visitor In Ar cadia valley. It stands almost in the center of the valley and is q rugged and towering giant, apparently capa- ble of withstanding the storms of many more winters.
 This tree, it Is said by old residents of Ironton. was almost as large in war time as at present. About four feet from it's base is a splendid spring. one of those never-failing sources of pure water supply for which the Ozark eoun. try is noted. In 1881 this vicinity was practically an open field, though, there was large house not far away con- taining several rooms.
