THE WATSON MELON.

Seed grown for several years
and introduced by me is Of
fered to the public in limited
quantities, as follows:
n h., 35c; " h., Csc; 1 lb.
$1.25.
Seed guaranteed pure and
from first hands. Address
w. A. WATSON, Thomson,
Georgia.
In offering this melon more exten-
sively to the public 1 desire to give
it's history About eight years one of
my brothers (Thomas E. Watson)
friends sent him a small package of
the seed and stated to him that he
called it the Watson melon. My
brother gave the seed to me, planted
a few hills the first year and was so
greatly pleased with the melon that
l planted about two acres in them
the following year, the yield and sales
were so satisfactory that 1 discarded
all others.
l have been raising melons for mar
ket the past thirty years, and con-
slider the Watson melon the very best
that | ever saw in every respect. 1t
grows larger, under the same circum-
stances, has fewer rotten ends, keeps
longer after getting ripe, is very solid,
for which reason it is a good shipper.
1t is, in my opinion, the best melon
ever put on the market, with a deli
cious flavor that has no superior.

TOM WATSON'S WEEKLY

VIM. J. BRYAN'S PAPER
Both One Year for Only $3.50

Mr.. Bryan is the most conspicuous
figure in American politics today. He
is more-he is a World Figure. His
views on men and things are awaited
with interest in foreign countries as
well as at home. THE COMMONER
is his medium of communication with
the world; but it is more than a per-
sonal organ, for it covers the whole
realm of political thought. Hence, no
one, whether a follower or an oppo-
nent Of Bryan's doctrines, can fail to
be interested in the columns of this
famous paper.

The Georgia Railway and Electric
Company of Atlanta adds $2,OOO,OOO
to it's stock, divided among it's present
stockholders. The issue is pure spring
water. 1t calls for $120,000 more divi-
dends annually to be assessed on At
lanta street car travel and electric
light users. 1t is a reinforcement
against the movement for municipal
ownership of the company's property
and franchises. Here is where the At
lanta city council could get very busy
in the peoples interest, if it had not
been largely elected by the company's
officers, employees and campaign funds.
Atlanta seems to be the worst corpor-
alton throttled city in the south, if not

InE er Wn Coin.

a story is told of a couple said to be
prominent in Washington society
which is interesting and amusing and
Is said to be actually true.
The husband and wife have no child
rem and most of their time is spent at
the clubs and following up the social
functions, The wife enjoys the com
pany of gentlemen friends, as well as
ladies' and the husband by common
consent enjoyed the same privileges.
Not long since the wife met one of her
gentlemen friends while she was ont
walking and in strolling down the
street they came to show window
containing an elegant set of furs, price
marked, $3.50. She admired them great
~ and the gentleman in half banter
ng manner offered to buy them fish e
would accept. In the same manner she
accepted the proposition but when she
left her friends and turned her face
homeWard the gravity of her situation
suddenly dawned upon her. What
"ould hef husband say? 1t troubled
her and she set her wits to work. Pres
entity the happy idea struck her. She
took the furs to a pawn shop, soaked
them for 81, and carried the ticket home
with her. The next day she told her
husband that she had found a pawn
ticket for set of furs at "a, that he
should take it and go get the furs. He
assented and that evening he brought
her set Of $40 furs, She was almost
struck dumb, and dumb she had to be,
for, to show any indication of disap-
poIntment or surprise would give her
away. The next day with heavy heart
she donned her $40 furs and strelled
down the street. After doing some
shopping she thought she would drop
into her husbands office and while set
ting there the lady typewriter left for
luncheon and reaching up into her
locker pulled down and donned the
$3.50 furs. She was simply paid in her
own coin and was still compelled to
keep silent.

cleveIand.s Wfae Advice.

Every American citizen will do well
to read and carefully ponder the nota-
ble address made by ex-Preside Mt
Grover Cleveland at Chicago upon
the teachings of. Washington. Mr..
Cleveland quoted from letter of the
father of his country written to La
fayette three months before his inau-
guration as President, in which he
saio: Nothing but harmony, Indus
try and frugality are necessary to make
US a great and happy people,
In commenting on this Mr.. CIeve-
land said: "If we find that the wick
edness Of destructive agitators and the
selfish depravity of demagogues have
stirred up discomfort and strife where
there should be peace and harmony,
and have arrayed against each others
interests which should dwell together
IN hearty cooperation; if we find that
the old standards Of sturdy uncompro-
missing American honesty have De-
come so corroded and weakened by
sofdld atmosphere that our people are
hardly startled by crimes in high
places and sham eful betrayals of trust
everywhere; if we find a sadly preya-
lent disposition among us to turn
from the highway of honorable indus.
try into shorter cross roads leading to
irresponsible AID worthless ease; if we
ind that widespread wastefulness
and extravaganza have discredited the
wholesale frugality which was once the
pride of Americanism, we should read
Washington's admonition that har-
mony, honesty, industry and frugality
are essential pillars of public felicity
and forthwith endeavor to change ouf
course.

Mr Roosevelt and the Tariff,

An announcement of the highes t
public importance is made by Mr..
Guild, the Republican tariff:reform
Governor of Massachusetts, after talk
ing with President Roosevelt. As
quoted in the Suns despatch Gov.
Guild says:
l cannot, OF course, repeat private
conversation. The President has al
ready publicly recommended a tariff
commission, policy Endorsed by the
Massachusetts, delegation. When he
has anything further to say in regard
to definite policy he will say it him.
self.
In themeantime sweeping assertions
to the effect that the President believes
that any consideration of the tariff
should be Indefinitely postponed, or
that the Republican party has no duty
to perform in regard to it, or lacks the
power to perform such duty, may be
set down with authority as extrava
gantly inaccurate.
The public will hope that Gov.
Guild may be right. There are many
reasons why Mr.. Roosevelt should
take up tariff reform. There are many
indications that as a statesman he
must take it up if he is to remain a
strong leader of public sentiment.
When the majority party in States
as strongly Republican, as widely sep
arated and as different in typical in
dustries as Iowa, Wisconsin ana Mas
slchusetts is committed to tariff re-
form, it is time for the leaders of that
party to put on their thinking-caps.

his uniform courtesy and kindly man
ner endeared him in a remarkable
degre to all who came in contact with
him in his official work.
Judge Hedges was never known to
affiliate with any organization Or So
ciety that did not have for its purp-
ose high ideals. AS member of
the Masonic Fraternity and it's as
sociate branches he has filled all its
offices of trust with commanding res
pect by reason of his honesty and in
tegrity as we'll as by his lovable ma
ture and good will towards all men.
Shakespeare says: Some men are
born great, some achieve greatness,
and some have greatness thrust upon
them
Brother Cornelius Hedges was not
born great, neither did he have great
ness thust upon him but his great
ness was achieved, not by any single
act or circumstance, but by the stead
fast observance of a course of conduct
characterized by nobleness of purpose
and devotion to duty, and by a life
ennobled and sweetened by the eXer-
else of heaven-born virtues OF charity
and humility. Cornelius Hedges was
a great man. In his career there was
much beneath the surface of his calm
and dignified character which was
known and appreciated only by those
who knew him most intimately. The
key to his life may possibly be found
in Aristotle's definition of virtue,
"rule ones life by the highest
principle of right
That his life was SO governed, no
one can doubt. The words of the
prophet Malachai concerning Levi may
be appropriately spoken of our de-
parted brother: THE law of truth was
in his mouth and iniquity was not
found in his lips; he walked in peace
and equity and did turn many away
from iniquity.'
The inspiration of his rule of life
was the sentimnt expressed in the eX-
hortation of Micah, the prophet to the
children of Israel: What doth the
Lord require of Thee but to do just
ly and to love mercy and to walk
humbly with thy God"
Before honor is humility. Better
it is to be of an humble spirit with
the lowly than to divide the spoil
with the proud" said the wise man.
