Proceedings Today in Trial o.
Robert N. Harper.


The seventh day of the trial of Robe TT
n. Harper. charged with the violation OF
the pure food and drug act. was begun
this morning before Judge Kinaball Of the
Police Court with DR.. Frank Mason on
the witness stand for the defense. The
witness testified to the classification OF
fc;sonous and non-poisonous drugs. their
effect on the human system and the de-
gree of food value possessed by alcohol.
Dr. Mason stated that practically all
drugs are poison, their fatal effects only
being governed by the amount taken.
The distinction between the poison and
non-poison drugs, the witness said. was a
line Of discussion between medical au-
thorities. except those of an absolutely
deadly nature with no remedial effect

Thomas T. Ogram was recalled and
ninety.two prescriptions filled by him
within the past year containing etani-
Nd.. and caffeine were read to the Jury.
But with one or two exceptions 1t was
found that the amount Of acetantlide pre-
scribed by the physicians called for excep-
tionally small amounts. accompanied by
i,:s lructions for the taking of the Vari-
Gus compounds ranging from one-half an
hour to five hours apart. The maximum
number OF doses amounted to one dozen

Mr. Oeram was temporarily excused in
order to permit counsel for the defense to
examine further into the drug combina-
lions introduced In evidence.

GUARANTEES BY CUPBA.
No Consideration Of the Question
Has Yet Been Given.

Whether or not guarantees will be ex-
acted of the Cuban government by the
United States when the present regime
terminates is a question which will not
be taken UP for consideration until after
the final elections have been held in Cuba
and a government established thera ca
pable of responsible action. That explana-
ton of the question was made today in
an authoritative quarter. It was explained
that no inference one way or the other
should be drawn from it. because the fac.
was that the subject of Cuban guarantees
to the United States was in reality not
being considered for the reason given.

The governor is in receipt Of partial re-
port from Commissioner of Horticulture F. A.
Huntley dealing with the records of his office
to the beginning Of the present season of
1908 Mr.. Huntley states that the very gen
eral lack Of inspection service has made it
difficult to secure the necessary data for a
complete report, but he has the work under
such Roadway that he hopes to cover the sub
ject in fuller manner in later report.
From the information gathered the report
shows total of II, 1852 acres planted to ap-
ples with 5,337 ,O94 trees, 6,504 acres of pears,
with 351 1892 trees, 1O,63O acres of peaches,
with 1,392,70O trees; 7,434 acres of cherries,
with 357,674 trees; and 1877 acres of plums
and prunes, with 1,044,94 trees. In addition
to the foregoing there are 1888 trees Of
apricots, ounces, nectarines, almonds and
English walnuts. The total number of acres
in the state devoted to the raising of small
fruits is 1926 at the beginning Of the year
1908, the value Of the orchards in the state
was $93,821,oOO
Mr. Huntley further reports that he is form
ulating plans for a state horticultural exhibit
at the Alaska Yukon-Pacifc exposition on a
scale commensurate with the great Importance
of this industry in the state.-Paseo (Wash.)

Our farmer friends would do we'll to take
careful note of the above statement that the
orchards Of Washington are valued at ninety
three millions Of dollars. While it is true
that Washington is an unusually good fruit
state it is likewise true that every state Of
the Union is adapted to certain kinds of
fruit, and the development of the fruit indus
try in each state would add enormously, both
to the comfort and prosperity of the farmers

Lear Or: we nOC1co IN Lno JeHefSOnlan a
letter from highly esteemed friend, Hon.
Thaddeus Pickett, in which he attributes to
Hon. N. A Morris, candidate for the judge
ship Of the Blue Ridge Circuit, hostility to the
Populists, and in proof of this fact, states
effort Of Mr.. Morris, as member Of the State
Executive Committee, to so formulate the
rules Of that body as to exclude the Populists
from voting in the coming primary on June
4, and in contrast states that Mr., Foster was
the friend Of the Populists and had protected
their rights in this matter.
Our good friend, Mr. Pickett, with his char
acteristic boldness and integrity of purpose,
acting on the "facts'' as he sees them sub
mits his facts to you, as the known and trust
ed leader of the Populists and invokes your
aid and infeunce with the Populists of this
Circuit in behalf of Mr. Foster as against Mr..
Morris
Mr. Picketts letter and your editorial are
directed alike to the Populists of Cobb and
of every other county in the Circuit It is
for this reason that we deem it our duty to
submit to you our reply.
It is we'll known that in no part Of the state
is your influence more potent than with the
Populists of Cobb In the dark days Of the
past when we were struggling for the rights of
the common people, the producers and wage
earners, and to correct what we believed then
and now to be fragrant abuses and simply
asked and sought the rights and opportunities
Of every other class Of our citizenship, we
were prosecuted here as in no other county III
the state and you ever stood by us a beacon
light, guide and defender It is but natural
under these circumstances that your words,
council and advice would exercise great in
fuence over us.
But, Mr. Watson, we ask that you remem-
Der that living in the county of Cobb, the
home of both Mr. Morris and Mr. Foster, both
Of whom we're active participants against us
in the Ozark days Of the past" and there
fore carefully scrutinized and watched by us,
up to this good hour, that we have had
abundant opportunity to know the facts for
ourselves as to the position, acts and bear
ings Of Mr. Morris and Mr.. Foster to the
Populists of Cobb, even better than wiser men
living elsewhere, and not in position to know
the facts themselves, but dependent upon The
statements of others.
We regret exceedingly that anything should
have occurred to make it necessary for us to
even allude to past differences and conflicts,
when we had hoped that the coming together
Of the great body of white citizens through
out the state would correct all abuses and re-
gain and re-establish on a firm and immovable
basis, the principles Of Jeffersonian Democ-
racy, assuring Equal rights and privileges to

THE JEFFERSONIAN.


the ballot box affecting his rights and the
common welfare, as we believed had been ac-
complished in the last gubernatorial eleation.
But now that the issue has been made and
forced upon us in the election of Judge, who
is to administer, expound and execute the
laws under which we are governed, and i'll
view Of the usurpation and abuse Of this ire
mendous power so prevalent, we are not at
liberty to withhold our opinion as to VII } IS
for u.s. and who against us, for in our judg-
ment there is no two sides in this contest.
Briefly and concisely stated as we see and
know such facts as come within our OWE
knowledge, Mr.. Morris and Mr.. Foster We're
both our implacable enemies and the heel Of
both on our necks, both were at war with all
for which the Alliance and Populism stood,
as expounded and taught by yourself and Mr..
Pickett, with this difference only: Morris
with his characteristic boldness and intrepid
spirit fought us in the open, concealing 10th
ing by methods or words. Mr.. Foster Was
more subtle, more dangerous and hurtful III
every way and our first information Of
change came after his candidacy for judge
In public and in private, in the columns e
his paper, which he absolutely owns and
which to that time was supported by his par
ty supporters, he frankly and unequivocally
endorsed you, by name, and stated that you
we're one Of the greatest and wisest expounders
Of political and economical questions Of this
age.
Mr.. Morris is not less pronounced as to
the right of the white citizens to control the
Judiciary, and especially the judgeship, which
he purposed to seek and for which he is now
a candidate
In this matter he has been consistent in his
contention that every white citizen, not ex-
pressly debarred by law, whose rights to
life, liberty and property should be passed
upon by the presiding judge, should have and
exercise the privilege and voice in selecting
that judge at the ballot box. In this matter
he has been absolutely consistent, outspoken,
no secret or whisper and it is irreconcilable
to the statement that he had opposed the
right Of the Populists to vote in the coming
primary. We accept Mr.. Morris statement
as contained in the enclosed editorial, with
the conviction that both yourself and Mr.
Pickett would fully agree with us had you
been citizens Of Cobb seen and know what we
know We will support Mr.. Morris.
