WHAT'S I'M A NAMEP
Many Names Preserved to Posterity
By Trivial circumstances.

Many Names Preserved to Posterity
by Trivial circumstances.
Many names, illustrious and other
wise, have been rescued from oblivion
by comparatively trivial circumstances.
The story goes that Brougham, on
being rallied by the Iron Duke as
man whose name would go down to
posterity as a great lawyer, states
man, etc, but who would nevertheless
be best known by the name of the
carriage that had been christened af-
ter him, retorted that the dukes name
would no doubt be handed down to pos
terity as that of a great general and
the hero OF hundred battles, but that
he would be best remembered by par
ticular kind of boot named after him.
The cobbler who, after the yelling
ton boot appeared, seized upon the idea
Of placing a Butcher boot upon the
market, made a large fortune there
from.
Sailors will never let die Admiral
VernOn's nickname Of "Old Grog' ESQ
called by reason of the breeches he
wore, made of grogham, a mixture of
Six and mohalr), the name given by
them TO the rum that he ordered to be
diluted with water The name of an
other drink-negus- survived from
the time of Queen Anne, when 1T was
the favorite of one Col. Negus. More
common than either, however, is the
name sandwich" in memory of Lord
Sandwich, who invented 1t as a means
Of taking hasty lunch while engaged
in his duties at the admiralty Office.
Certain towns and districts, too,
such as Xeres, Oporto, Champag ne
and Burgundy, are probably best
known through the productions named
after them; in fact, the two latter pro-
vinces ceased to exist after the sub
situations Of departments for the old
provinces before the days of the French
revolution Cayenne Is undoubtedly
known better outside France fer the
pepper it produces than for being a
locality to which French convicts are
transported while the town Of Cognac,
in France, owes its celebrity solely to
the brandy distilled from its grapes.

And that's about so. The doctors
tell as that 90 per cent of our troubles
we may blame our mothers for. And
yet they're not so much to blame either.
The only way they had of getting

Of Interest to Women.

Every woman naturally should be
healthy and strong, but great many
women, unfortunately, are not, owing
to the unnatural condition of the lives
we lead. Headache, backache and a
general tired condition are prevalent
amongst the women of today, and to
relieve these conditions women rush
to the druggists for a bottle of some
preparation supposed to be particular
ly for them, and eontaining-nObody
knows what. If they would just get a
box Of Brandreth's Pills, and take them
regularly every night for a time, all
their trouble would disappear, as these
pills regulate the organs of the femi-
nine system. The same dose has the
same effect, no matter how long they
are used.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use
for over a century and are sold in
every drug and medicine store, plain
or sugar coated.

CONVINCING TIE ARABS.

1t Is hard to make a nomadlc Arab
believe that white man can by any
possibility know anything about the
desert-especially so to persuade him
that the lines add letters on the trav-
elers map convey any accurate infor-
nation which viii guide him on his
way. Interpretation Of these mystic
symbols, says the biographer of Henry
Clay Trumbull, gained that famous
mission worker something of the repu-
tation OF a magician when he went to
find Kadesh- Barnea, the place where
the people of Israel rebelled against
Moses.
'Ayn Qadees was the modern name
OF the place he sought When he asked
his Arabs If they could lead him thith-
er, they steadfastly maintained that
they had never heard of 1t.
"Oh, WELL" said Mr.. Trumbull, know
ing what pride the Bedouin has in bis
knowledge of the desert, 1.-THE trouble Is
T, you don't know your own country as
| we'll as know 1t. We ought to change
places. You give me bakshish and
will show you the country.

Then we will turn off from the track
TO the right. We will go down that
way about one hour. There we will find
one, two, three wells. Beyond them
will be flags and rushes growing. Then
little farther on we shall find more
wells That is Qadees. You don't
know 1t, but 1 do. Give me bakshish
and I'll show 1t to you"
There was CONSERVATION among tho
Arabs. They discussed the matter ex-
citedly. Then their spokesman came
'Mr. Trombool," he said, 81 tell you
now the true, honor bright They tell
me true now on the Koran. They know
that place you tell them, but they no
call 1t that name. They no call that
Qadees. They call 1t Qasaymeh-"
1t flashed across Mr.. TrumbuIPs
mind that Bartlett. who had preceded
him and whose map he was following.
had been deceived by the Arabs.
Every WELL" he said. But do they
know where Qadees is If this is not itf'
The spokesman knew-yes, indeed
What is more he knew there was no
use wasting time trying TO fool a man
who could describe the desert paths aa
this one could; so forthwith they turn
ed from the main road, and over a most
difficult trail made their way to a place
which. IT was evident at a glance, was
what Mr.. Trumbull sought, the place
Of the Fountain of Judgment.

TEXANS TUssLE WITH BEAR.
Shut on Animals Wind with Lariat,
Then Cuts Its Throat.

Then Cuts It's Throat.
Jim Gordon, 8 range rider for w w. |
wilkins, whose big ranch is over near
Howard Wells, in Western Texas, was
much surprised the other morning to |
see a large black bear numbering along |
ahead of him. 1t was in rough To- |
cality and the bear was evidently out |
to get its morning meal of sotol roots.
Gordon stuck his rails into his horse
and took after the bear. The chase did
not last long. Gordon unloosened his
rope, which was coiled over the pommel
of his saddle, and when he got within
throwing distance of the fleeing bear
he deity circled the moose over the ami
malls head. The COW pony sat back up
on it's launches and drew the rope
taut. The bear got one Of its paws I'M
derneath the moose and prevented the
rope from choking it. Then began a
struggle that lasted for more than an
hour.
Ordinarily a horse is desperately
afraid of a bear, but the COW pony
which Gordon was riding stood the or
deal fearlessly. 1t maintained its po-
bluOn Wnlle GOTUOn ulSlnOunleu WIFI
q view of attacking the bear at close
quarters with his knife. He had no
other weapon. The bear put up a hard
fight the moment 1t saw Gordon on the
ground. 1t rushed at him and struck
him a terrific blow on the shoulder
which sent him sprawling several feet
away, and out of reach of the mad
dcned animal, which was confined to a
prescribed circle by the rope.
Strange to say, the bear made no at
tack upon the horse. 1t seemed to con-
slider Gordon responsible for the whole
trouble. Gordon determined to kill the
animal before he left the spot. He
made several Intellectual efforts to dash
In ON the bear and give 1t blow with
his knife, but each time he was struck
by the animals paw. Finally he got
hold of the rope and by a sudden pull
managed to tighten the moose so that
the bears wind was temporarily shut

Taking advantage of the moment
Gordon rushed in and cut the juGular

loaded the bear upon his horse and

tor raw cotton.
CAN'T YOU SEE TT?
A diminished demand for raw cotton, means
a lower price.
Isn't that perfectly plain?
Then what is the remedy?
Remove the cause of the disease
PUT COTTON GOODS ON THE FREE
LIST!
Then you'll see the monstrously dispropor-
toned price of cotton goods come down, and
the price of raw cotton go up, until fair
relationship, between the price of raw cotton
and the price of cotton goods, is established
Lower prices on cotton goods means great
er consumption of those goods. A greater con-
sumption of those goods, means greater de-
mard for raw cotton. A greater demand for
raw cotton means better price for. it.
Isn't that perfectly sound reasoning?
Then what must the Farmers Union do to
win its glorious fight?
Put demand on every Congressman, in
whose District the Union is strong, to give
his active support to your cause by voting to
put cotton goods on the Free List
The very agitation of this plain, practical
connon-sense policy will make raw cotton go
up
And when Congress actually puts cotton
goods on the Free List, as it is bound to do
if the Trust continues it's greedy. tyrannical
and unpatriotic course, the price Of raw cotton
will STAY UP.

Here S a RrddZe.

A bale of cotton, weighing 900 pounds, will
make about 1900 wards of calico
To make the calico, at the present prices of
cotton will cost about $1o2. 90 in all
The calico sells at'7 cents per yard This
will be $21o for the 5000 yards.
LET us say that the Spinner only gets an
average of s cents a yard for his calico or
S15o for the 1900 yards Tn that case he
clears net profit Of $41.So on each bale
On crop of 100000 bales, the spinner
will make profit of $4o8,ooo,o 900! AT 4 cents
per ward, he clears S2I6ooo,ooo.
What do you think of that?
can understand we'll enough why the Spin
ner puts himself to some expense and trouble
to meet the Grower in Conference
He has natural curiosity to see what such
a blamed fool looks like.
The thing which puzzles The Teffersonian is
this: F-TE'~7~
How on earth does the Spinner manage to
keep his face straight when he meets the man
that he so easily, so constantly, and so unmer-
cifully robs? -vT-H
This calico costs you from to cents per
yard. Therefore YOU self 900 pounds of cot
ton for less than $50 and buy it back at more
than $18o.
No wonder you are so prosperous that all
the Plute newspapers are asking you to ring
the bells, light the bonfres, toot the whistles,
blow the bugles, and do everything else in
God Almighty's world excepting just one
thing:
Don't study the construction of the trap in
which you are caught
Keep on selling bale of cotton at $50 and
buving it back at $I8o
That's one way to please the Privileged Few
who pocket the $12o which you lose on each
bale.

Watch Out, Colonel ScOtt!

authorities of the Georgia Railroad on full
notice of the dangerous condition of the track
at Robinson station.
Mr.. Nye in person. examined the rails there,
while waiting for a train to pass, and made
some drawings to illustrate the fearful death
trap which was likely at any time to cause an
awful loss of human life.
These drawings were duly reproduced in
The Jeffersonian.
During the time while he was waiting for
his train to'move on toward Atlanta, Mr. Nye
had some conversation with Mr.. Bryan Cum
ming, Junior member of the firm which repre-
seDts the Georgia Railroad as General Coun-
sell 1t would seem that Mr.. Nye got no
thanks for calling Mr.. Cummings attention to
the dangerous condition of the track On the
other hand, it would seem from Mr. Nye's
account of the conversation, that Mr.. Cum
ming, treated him superciliously, if not insult
ingly
Our readers will also remember that there
was wreck at Robinson station few weeks
ago, in which Col Scott, the Manager of the
Road, and Major Jos. B. Cumming, Senior
member of the firm of General Counsel, were
caught but, most fortunately not hurt. Many
others who were caught in the wreck were
hurt.
The Jeffersonian put Col. Scott on notice of
the peri1ous condition of the track, which had
long existed at Robinson, which had been
observed by citizens of the community and
which had been reported to the Section gang of
the Railroad.
The Jeffersonian likewise reminded Col.
Scott of the law of Georgia which makes him
guilty of murder if, by his criminal negligence,
human life is lost on his road.
But Mr.. Scott is the most arrogant and
bull-headed of all the Southern Republicans
who outrage the Southern people in order that
they may pile up big money for these maraud-
ing Yankee Corporations
Therefore, Col Scott paid no attention to
the warning of The Jeffersonian.
The inevitable consequence has followed.
There was another wreck at Robinson, last
Saturday night.
Almost by a miracle, the passengers came
out of it without loss of life.
How long is our Governor and our Railroad
Commission going to stand for this sort of
thing?
ODE Stevens, one of the Railroad Commits
sioners, galloped over the four prongs of the
Georgia Railroad inside of two days, and re-
ported that the track was in excellent condi-
ton. The report was false, of courses
Facts, which speak louder than words, have
shown that it was false.
Everybody knew at the time that an exami-
nation, much of it made at 40 miles an hour,
was the merest farce
The continued wrecks that have occurred,
since the alleged examination was made, show
that the report was false.
The drawings made by Mr.. Nye, and the
cumulative evidence of scores of disinterested

Conferences with spinners are worse than
Idle The spinner's interest is competitive.
The spinner's purpose is antagonistic.
The spinner's law is the yoke that now bends
your neck.
brother1v conference between Growers
and Spinners is exactly similar to what con-
ference between wolves and sheep would be.
A brotherly meeting of hawks and doves
would be sensible and natural thing compar-
ed to these absurd conferences between the
Specially Privileged Manufacturers and the
farmers that are his victims
Every time see these Spinners coming to
a conference with the Growers, I can't help but
think Of the Trapper going to see what he has
caught in his trap.
NV God! Can't the farmers of the land see
ANYTHING?
Don't thev know that the laws have been so
made that they are caught in the Trap of the
Manufacturer? Don't they know that Cotton
Goods are sold by Trust while raw cotton
is sold by unprivileged individuals who must
meet the competition of the slave labor of
Egypt and Hindustan? Don't they know
that the Trust sells cotton goods cheaper ev-
erywhere in the world than here in the United
States?
The Tariff Wall shuts us in and enables the
manufacturer to charge us call that the traffic
will bear" Hence, the people cannot buy as
much cotton goods as they need. The prices
limit the sales.
Just as a TO cent postage rate on letters
would mean that fewer letters would be writ
ten, so the OUTRAGEOUS price charged for cot
ton good, diminshes the amount sold
And of course this diminishes the demand
