own language: From one crop of
celery, set four inches in drill. with
rows three feet apart, of $500 sets to

me 500 for barnyard and commercial
fertilizers and $40 to cultivate and

WHO OR WHAT

John Sharp Williams recently de-
fined a democrat as a man who occu-
pies same land sane) middle ground
between plutocracy and mobocracy.
This addition to the crop of answers
that has sprung up since the New
York Worlds inquiry does not help
matters much. 1t takes in too many
people. We never met man who
would admit that he had any affilia-
tions with either mobs of plutocrats.
But while the patient and pathetic
democratic ass has been backed into
a fence corner and compelled to con-
fess that he doesn't know but that he
may be a zebra or a spotted gyasticu-
tus after all, it seems unfair not tc

A GREAT OCCASION.

Rev Geo. R. Stuart, one of the best
known evangelists in America, has
come to Palestine for a campaign, and
we are assured in advance that he
will do his full part toward holding a
great meeting, and in building up the
religious and moral influences of the
town. But. the meeting will be a sue.
cess largely TO the extent that the
people make it so by assisting. And
regardless of what a man thinks per
sonally of the work, il becomes every
man to give his assistance to the
work, that in the end Palestine may
be a better town in which TO
live and in which to make a
"a mestiss-fs- bound
to result in good to the city.
Its influence will be for good in many
ways, and it is an opportunity that all
should grasp. Give your moral and
financial aid to the meeting. and
above all give your presence to the
services. If the meetings result in
making you a better neighbor and in
making your neighbor better neigh
Dor to you, if they tone mp the morals
of the town, and inspire people to be
better and more charitable one to the
other a great worl, will have been
done, and surely all want a part in
such a work. The meeting is held in
behalf of the town, and 1t is our town.
We want and need good town and
strong, moral and consecrated citizen
ship. To this end you can help. and n
concerted movement will do vastly
more good than a few individual ef-

good things that to record them would

The Dallas banquet, given Saturday

a political occasion, and this was un-

and threw an untimely challenge to
Attorney General Davidson, and Of

the Standard Oil company was still

have gone about it in a different way?

If the auditor at the Stuart meeting
last night had been able to get moth
ing more out Of the evangelist's ser
mon than a lecture on hygiene, it
would have been vastly worth while.
Rev. Stuarts philosophy. while given
in an original manner is as old as
human life, and many who heard him
last night knew from personal expert
ence that what he said was true. The
evangelist has great faith in hearty
laugh. and says it is a tonic for the en-
tire system. That is true, as we all
know. And sorrow. too, develops. It
was a great sermon in many ways,
and not the least lesson was in point
ing the way to live in this world.

SCORE SUCCESSOR

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-So furious a

ment of President A. Fister Higgins, of
the Knickerbocker Trust Company,
criticising Charles T. Barney's character
and blaming former Ice King Charles
w. Morse for Barneys financial ruin
and death, that Higgins may be asked,
friends OF Barney and Morse say, to
quilt his post with the trust company.
If Higgins is rightly quoted in MS
attack on me. he is an absolute liar, -
says Morse. 'Parney never Endorsed a
note for me In his life"
Rarney's friends are equally bitter in
repetitions of their denials that Mrs.
Barney was about to obtain a divorce.
\ story is published today, however,
that employees preparing Barney's desk
in the KnickeroOcker Trust Company
Tor Higgins use, after the formers re-
tirement, found letters exchanged be-
tween Barney and two women in whom,
Judging from the tenor Of the CORE.

prince; the other the wife OF a rich

cial life of the metropolis.
