you will find that the fruit has taken

Col. McGraw Talks.

The New York Herald pu blishes the
following relative to distinguished
West Virginian:
London, Saturday.-M John T.
McGraw, of Grafton, w. Va, who. be-
sides being member of the national
democratic committee is president and
owner of the West Virginia Midland
railway, accompanied ty his mother,
Mrs. McGraw, and his sister, Miss
McGraw. They will remain in London
another week before going to Dublin
for visit, returning here before GO
Ing to the Continent.
Railroad development in our state
is not as progressive as it was ailittle
while ago, said Mr.. McGraw. "Owing
to.national and state legislation. | do
not think that the laws that have been
enacted will ever be repeated, but / do
think they will be modified. | think
when we get down to the proper sphere
of governmental influence, these laws
will be beneficial to the railroads.
"Ihe difficulty encountered by the
railroads in getting money for neees-
sary improvements is because of the
agitation tina. has been carried on. Mr..
Roosevelt's efforts TO bring all public
service corporations under the law and
TO adept such drastic measures ofregu-
lation for them have made people tim
id with their money.
sAs between Mr.. Roosevelt's posi-
tion on the railway and Mr. Bryan's
there is no question of the honesty of
the latter and the unfairness of the
former. Mr.. Bryan would buy, the
other would not, but would take CON
troll of particularly administer mans
estate during his lifetime"

Sum Cooked Preserves

Sun-cooked preserves are among the
most delicious of ali preserved fruits,
though not so generally known among
Americans. The sun brings out all
the fresh individual flavor of the fruit,
particularly strawberries, currants.
cherries, blackte ries, loganberries, To
kay grapes, and figs. Peaches, pears,
and p.ums have not Juice enough In
themselves. Cnoked according TO the
following rule for Barbecue, the
fruits will retain their native flavor:
To every pound of fruit measured be-
fore pitting or seeding, allow a scani
pound of sugsr or even less in the case
of particularly sweet fruits. Straw
berries, for instance, sholl have a
much soantier proportion of sugar than
curra is or sour cherries. Prepare the
fruit at night, hulling the berries, pit
ting the cherries, Sc inning the eur
rants, or cutting out the Two seeds OF
the Tokays, as the case may be, and
taking care to preserve every particle
of the juice. Have re2dy hot platters
or deep plates, ard have the sugar
heated in the oven, taxing esra not 10
let it melt or color. Spread thin lay
er of the hot sugar over the bottom Of
the dish, t,ien layer of the fruit, and
lastly another layer of sugar. BY
morning a thick syrup will have form
ed. This is drained Off intoi.the pre-
serving kettle and allowed to cook
slowly for ten minutes, Swimming if
necessary. AT the end of this time,
put in the fruit, and cook until it just
comes to boil Now skim out the
fruit, spread fruit and syrup fon broad
platters, and set in the hot sun, COW
ering with panes of window-glass. As
the sun disappears in one place, move
the fruit to another where it can have
the full benefit of the suns rays until
rich and thick. Put in jelly-glasses,
and cover with circles of writing-paper
wet with brandy. Put up in this way,
the fruit retains Its natural color and
flavor, while it is really veryl little
trouble to do.-From "Canning. and
Preserving Fruit by Emma Paddock
Telford, in the August Circle.

Look This Way, Nr. Ro0sebef.

Now that your able Secretary of the Treas
ury has deposited $25,ooo,ooo of our surplus
money with Wall street to relieve the money
stringency produced by gamblers in watered
stock, can't you induce your appointee to put
few millions of our money into the banks
of the south to relieve the pressure which Wall
street spectators are now exerting to force
the warehoused cotton of the south upon
panicked market?
The act of Congress under which he made
the deposit in Wall street, says he "shall dis
tribute the deposits herein provided for as far
as practicable equally between the different
states and sections"
The prosperity of the United States is more
dependent upon the cotton crop than upon the
gambling checks of Wall street. The greater
the price of cotton the more gold it brings
from Europe to America The smaller the price
the less gold America gets. The more gold
America gets the richer and stronger we grow
The eastern bankers are reported as noti-
flying their southern correspondents to with
hold loans on cotton stored in warehouses. IF
this is adhered to millions of bales of cotton
might be forced upon "broke" market which
means ruin to thousands of laboring farmers.
The spinners of the world have taken no
orders for goods at less than IS to 20 cents ba-
sis for cotton.
But the speculator for the present is between
the producer and the spinner. If the specula-
tor in conjunction with the eastern banks can
force the cotton farmer to market his cotton,
the farmer loses and the speculator wins
Which side will you choose, Mr.. President?
If that of the farmer, instruct your Secretary
to distribute" SIS, 900 900 of our money among
the southern banks. c. E. MEG.

the unwritten law Of Georgia, that Macon
man must be >named as Umpire
Macon is where Maj. J. F. Hanson lives
Macon is where the Central Railroad and
the Southern Railroad have their greatest in
huence.
Macon is where the lawyer of the Southern
Railroad is Secretary of the Company which
publishes the only morning paper.
Macon is the very place to which the state
should not go for it's Umpire.
But it always goes to Macon for its Umpire
hence the Comptroller-General is never able
to make the tax-dodgers come across.
NO wonder Governor Smith is making
speeches on "education."
In the whole range of possible topics, there
is not subject that is nicer and more peacea-
bic than education.
1t were Governor and were hampered by
such friends as Chairman Miller and the At
lanta journal, | guess would speak on ''Edu-
cation" too.
One never knows.

that in your own state OF Nebraska, you do
business as Populist, and that you have no
Democratic party there that amounts to a
hill Of beans.
Why, then, do you talk of united, har-
monious Democratic Party?
Your wishing for it, isn't going to make it.
Even in the banquet room where you spoke,
majority of those city gentlemen who sat
there and clapped their hands are at heart,
IN favor of every policy of the Republican
Party.
And we can never have a real, potent Dem
ocratic Party until you cast out the Republi-
cans. This, Mr.. Bryan cannot do. There
tore, the Democratic Party stands for every
thing, anything, and NOTHING.

Things Habe Changed.

A few years ago, the Tennessee R. R. Com
mission politely requested certain Railroad
Presidents to appear before that body to an
swer some fair questions.
Nothing doing.
One high and mighty satrap made no re-
sponse. Another sent word that the Commits
sioners knew where his Office was and that if
they wanted to see him they could come across.
Pleasant, wasn't it?
Another vice-roy was so offended at the tenn
Gritty of the Commission in having the audaci-
ty to summon him that he actually whirled
in and had the Commissioners put out of Of
fce
Glorious, don't you Sc?
Well, there were a few men in each state
who couldn't be silenced, nor driven away.
These courageous and indomitable fighters
have kept on, in spite of corporation abuse
and popular indifference, until things have
changed. c@ 81
Even in Tennessee where public men have
been the most weakened, or cowardly, or
corrupt-even in Tennessee, there are signs of
better times.
In the other Southern states, Railroad bosses
no longer send word to Railroad Commissions
ers ito come round to the Captains office"
No, indeed

The MSOLenf Milton Smith.

IHe lHSOLenf TiIfOn Smith.
Milton Smith is the name of the satrap who
rules Southern Province for his Majesty. Au-
gust Belmont-New York thief-millionaire and
American agent for those international robbers.
the Rothschilds
Even in ancient times the satrap was often
laughter than his master-just as many
Captain in the army put on more airs than Lee
or Grant.
Even SO, it chances that Belmont's man, Mil
ton Smith, is much more superciliously often
s1ve to the Province over which he is ruler
than Belmont is to his larger realm.
A few years ago. the poor little Railroad
Commission of Tennessee politely requested
the great Milton Smith to come before that
modest tribunal and answer certain questions
of strictly legitimate kind
Did the great Milton Smith respond? Not
at ALL He did not even reply to the letter
Railroad monarchs do not even have to OBJ
serve the proprieties which are respected by
gentlemen.
But the great Milton Smith went further in
his 1ordly arrogance. Offended at the un-
precedented impudence of Tennessee official
in boarding Belmont's Railroad, the great Mil
ton Smith exerted his "pull," and those inquis-
tive Commissioners went out of Office.
New Railroad Commissioners for the State
OF tennessee were named by the great Milton
Smith, and these Commissioners have known
better than to cross the great Milton Smith,
Tennessee wallows in the shame of complete
submission to the corporation which has de-
bauched her public men and plundered her
common people.
This man Milton Smith is the fellow who is
now bucking against the tireless and fearless
Governor of Alabama.
This man Milton Smith is the fellow who
is filling the columns of the Atlanta Constitu-
ton with vindictve assaults on Governor Co.
mer, and with lying statements in favor of the
L. & N Railroad
If I were Clark Howell, would go to plow-
ing for living before I would sell space in
my paper to such men as Theodore Price and
Milton Smith.
Goebel of Kentucky was making a fight
against this same L. & N. Railroad. Goebel
got elected Governor, and was murdered
There has always been an impenetrable mys-
terry about the assassination of Goebel and
there is widespread suspicion that the L. &
N. Railroad was back of it.
Governor Conner of Alabama is taking his
life in his hands, in fighting this unscrupulous
combination of Northern capital.
And if I were Clark Howell Milton Smith
should not be permitted to prostitute my paper
to his vile purposes.

WOSt Unjust.

The following paragraph appeared in our
esteemed neighbor The North Georgia Citizen:
"Tom Watson feels very keenly the slight
in not being invited to the Rural Free Deliv-
cry convention in Atlanta. There are great
many up here who feel the slight he gave the

The GObeYnOr' S Friend.
Last year the Democratic Party made Law
ton Miller, of Macon, Chairman of it's Exec
utive Committee.
Perhaps that is one reason why we are not
getting the reforms that were promised
With Lawton Miller for Commander-in-
Chief and the Atlanta Journal for official organ,
the administration which stands pledged to
certain reforms is heavily handicapped.
The Atlanta Journal appears to have been
reformer for campaign purposes only.
1t has since opposed the reduction in pas
senger fares which the Farmers Union leaders
fought for and obtained.
1t defends the greed of the manufacturers
and jobbers who have pocketed the savings
in freight rates.
1t now supports that monstrous and profit
gate demand of the National Bankers that
they be allowed to issue doubtful paper money,
WHICH THE GOVERNMENT SHALL
REDEEM, IF THEY DON'T.
The pet banks demanded that the Govern
ment turn over to them all the Import Duties
collected at the Custom Houses These I'M
port Duties amount to about one million dol
lars day.
The Government yielded to the demand.
lie pClS QCIllduuCu tudL IIC OOVCIulHCII al
low them the Constant use, without interest,
of one hundred and fifty million dollars of the
peoples money.
The Government yielded to the demand.
The pets now go further, and demand the
privilege of issuing their notes as money, on
any sort of collateral which they can persuade
the Secretary to accept. If the collateral turns
out to be bad, or if, for any cause, the pets
should fail to pay their notes, THE GOOD
MONEY OF THE PEOPLE SHALL BE
TAKEN OUT OF THE TREASURY TO
PAY THE BANKERS DISHONORED
NOTESl
And the Atlanta Journal says, in effect, that
the Government should yield to this monstrous
proposition.
Evidently, the Journal exhausted its reform
ardor in the campaign of last summer. Ever
since the day of the election, it has been con-
spicuous for it's policy of throwing off, the
allies who helped to win the fight, and for its
insidious efforts to side-track substantial re-
forms
AS to Lawton Miller, he appears to be as
good Republican as J. F. Hanson and ]. P.
Morgan could want. Ably, earnestly, sue
cessfully, this Chairman of the Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee has aided the nonresident
corporations to escape justice. The Comptroll-
er-C1eneral-noble and fearless officer that he
is!-has been doing everything in his power
to compel these marauding corporations to pay
their honest share of the taxes. This would be
a relief to the common people who are groan-
