A GREAT PAPER.

That is what ] think Thomas E.
Watson s. Weekly Jeffersonian is
great paper
I've good reasons for my opinion,

Watson has brains and uses them.
He knows history and how to inter

a statesman.
He uses English we all can under

times vitriolic.
The Weekly is the unrelenting foe
of special privilege-nor is it any

Washington, D. c. Sept. 25.-
Thirty-two passengers were injured,
none of them seriously by the derail-
ment Of the Chattanooga and Wash
ing.ton Limited train on the Southern
Railway just north of Ryans Siding,
Va, thirty miles south of Charlottes-
vile, early Sunday. A broken rail
was the cause of the accident.
The entire train, composed of
baggage car, day coach and three
sleepers, left the track, the sleepers
being almost destroyed by fire. A
special train was quickly made up
and proceeded to this city with all the
passengers of the limited. The wreck
blocked the track for several hours,
all trains in the meantime being de-
tained.
Among the injured, all of whom
were but slightly hurt, are:

FARMERS COMBINE AGAINST
HARTMAN.

Spokane, Washington, Sept. 21-
Wheat growers in the Palouse Belt,
south of Spokane, where several conn
ties will each yield more than 9,0OO,-
600 bushels of grain this season, have
organized a farmers union for the
purpose of handling their product
and establishing Independent ware
houses to combat the Oregon Rail
road and Navigation Company, oper-
ated III Washington and Oregon as
part of the Hartman system.
James Walters, a bonanza rancher
of Garfield, is at the head of the or
ganlzation, which has already ship
ped 100000 bushels of wheat to the
Pacific coast over an opposition road,
which, it is given out, will get the
rest of the business. He says that
as soon as the crop is harvested the
union will organize the farmers in
every town and hamlet in the inland
empire, embracing> 100000 square
miles IN Eastern Washington, North
ern Idaho, Western Montana and
Southeastern Oregon, an area pro-
ducing from 45,OOO,OOO to 50,OOO,OOO
bushels of wheat, and that indepen-
dent warehouses will be established
throughout the district to handle the
entire yield next year. He added:
Some of the members of our or
ganization may be inclined to social
ism, but have not yet learned of
one who is willing to divide his earn
ings with the Hartman people for
handling his grain to the seaboard." Z"

GOV. SMITH REPLIES TO CRITI-
CISM OF HIS INTERVIEW.
Says That What He Said About Cot
ton Crop Has Been Miscon-
strued by Critics.

Governor Hoke Smith gave out an
interview Thursday morning In an
swer to those who criticise and find
fault with his optimistic view of Geor-
gia's future prosperity, as expressed
in statement published in The Jour-
nal several weeks ago. The inter-
view is to the point, and will be
read with interest throughout the
State.
The governor calls attention to the
portions of his prosperity statement
that have been omitted by his critics,
and dwells upon his well-known and
friendly attitude toward the farm
ers Of the State. He shows that he
has ever advocated the holding of
cotton for the highest possible price,
and says that even now he is holding
his own crop, and that of his tenants
for Is cents per pound.
The Governor Statement.
Governor Smith s interview fol-
lows:
"About three weeks ago I gave an
interview to the press on the pros
poets of prosperity in the State for
the coming year.
''The effort to create the impress
sion that the interview could bear the
price of cotton is not sustained by
what [ said.
'"The interview contained the fol-
lowing statements which have been
omitted in recent references to it:
=" Il believe the financial conditions
in Georgia will be better during the
coming year than ever before.
" Stock panics in New York will
have practically no effect here.
"'Our cotton crop, unless injured
by the hot winds of the last few
days, will be larger than at any pre-
vious time, and the farmers should
sell at higher price per pound than
they have ever received, for
the crop is short in Texas and along
the Mississippi river.
The corn crop of the State will
be the largest ever raised.
" 1t does not require an optimist
to look upon the financial future of
our people with the greatest conf
dence.
"Isexpressly qualified my estimate
Of the crop by the statement unless
injured by the hot winds of the last
few days.
"That the Georgia crop has been
injured as / suggested, and that it
will not be over an average crop is
now well known.

"Our greatest lawmakers and our
greatest lawbreakers are the great

our legislatures and our anarchists.

Oregon Land Cases
May be Dropped

Portland, Ore, Sept. 5.-The prose-
cutions of many Oregon land fraud
cases now pending before the United
States grand jury in the federal court
are likely to be dropped through the
impossbiility of Francis j. Heney re-
turning to Portland and the unpopular
iuy of the U. S. District Attorney Will

moval.
With over 80 ind ciments still pend
ing, and over 100 PENDANTS still I'M
tried, the government has tacitly call
ed off the dogs of war. Francis J. Hen
ey and William J. Burns will come no
more to this state to carry terror into
the hearts of violators of the land laws.

liam @. Bristol, upon whose shoulders
the mantle of Heney was to fall, in the
further conduct of the prosecutions, is
slated for removal from office, and his
political foes are already eagerly de-
batting the choice of successor.
There is the strongest reason to be-
lieve that President Roosevelt will not
even send his name to the senate for
reappointment.
Powerful influences havebeen at work
ever since Bristol's appointment with
the twofold object of ousting him from
Office and preventing the resumption to
Heney of the prosecutions.
1t is said with the presidential cam
paign close at hand. it is believed that
Roosevelt has abandoned Bristol to his
fate. The bitter feud which existed be.
teen the president and Senator Fulton
is virtually at an end, and amicabe re.

GREAT ACTOR DIES AT HIS
SUMNER HOME.
Most Successful Roles Include Shy

Brutus, Beau BrummeI, Or. Jekyll
and Mr.. Hyde-Home Life Ideal
Funeral Last Monday.

New London, Conn.-Richard Mans
field, the actor, died recently at his
summer residence, Seven Oaks.
Richard Mansfield has for several
years been recognized as one Of the
leading actors on the American stage,
making a speciality of Shakespeare, al
though appearing at times in lighter
dramas and comedies. He has sew
eral times visited the Pacific coast
and intended another trip during the
coming season. He has been in poor
health for several months and his de-
mise was not unexpected.
Richard Mansfield was born on the
island of Helgoland, May "a, 1857. He
was the son of Madame Rudersdorff
(ManstieldD, the noted singer. He
was educated chiefly in Germany and
England and when about II years of
age came to Boston, Mass, where he
worked as clerk in drygoods store
and studied painting for short time.
In 1875 he returned to England and
after several years of hard privation
engaged at length, with some success,
in comic opera. His first appearance
on the American stage was in 1882
in New York. In January, 1888, he
won a striking success as Baron
Chevrial in "a Partisan Romance" al
the Union Square theater. This was
followed by a number of modern and
classic roles (which within 10 years
gained him a leading place among
American actors.
Among the plays in which Mr.. Mans
field has appeared are: ''Dr. Jekyl
and Mr.. Hyde" Richard ILL.," pro
duced in London in 1899; Beau Brum
NELL" "The Scarlet Letter." "Shy
lock-" "Arms and the Man." "Th'
Devils Discipline "Cyrano de Ber
