Philadelphia, Dec 8, 1908.
Ny dear Mr.. Watson:
Your work in your book on Water
loo is of the highest order. You have
not done heretofore such commanding
and beautiful work. You stand now
with the most distinguished men of
letters, and when men and women of
education know Of the book, its circu-

wide. This book is a decoration far
superior to any honor any university
can confer.

KEEP THE VESTAL FIRES BURN
ING.

Musella, Ga. RID. 1, Nov. 10, 1908.
Dear Sir: And Taft is "trumps"
for the next four years, and several
reasons have been given why Bryan
was defeated, but the best reason l
can give is that the Republicans out
voted the Bryan crowd. It is all
right, I guess, as Bryan had hand
in digging the ditch for the "Pops"
in 1896.
At my precinct I saw no printed
tickets except what [ carried there
of the Watson ticket and the vote
was Watson, IA, and Bryan, 10. A
good many did not go to the polls at
all. One old Democrat of the old
edition said he "did not want to lose
his vote on Tom Watson" so he put
it in for Bryan-and lost it at last.
I am done voting the Boss-ridden
party ticket. So go ahead and reor-
ganize and keep the "vestal fires
burning as best you can. No more
fusion for me, as in 1896. It looks
a little dark to me to see so many
of the toiling masses holding on to
the old parties and blindly voting
themselves and coming posterity into
servile slavery to the money kings
Of Wall Street, and their allies in
America and England The old par
ty press is in direct line with Wall
Street and the corporations, and this
is the crowd that is fast sucking up
the substance Of the people.
Now comes Mr. Osborn and says:
"Let the South withdraw" Suppose
she does. What then? She tried to
withdraw once and kicked up the big
gest row ever heard Of III this coun-
try. The banks commenced to feath-
er their nests in 1861, and they are
in the saddle toway.
Well, call your conference, reorgan-
ize, and put in for better laws and
better money and more of it in active
circulation. "Equal and exact JUS
tice to all and special privileges to
none.'
Yours truly,
G. w. White.

Fourteen-foot Channel

Staff special to The Times Democrat
Washington, march Is. Friends of
the scheme for fourteen-fo6t channel
down the Mississippi were much en-
couraged to-day by the approval, on
the part of Secretary Taft, of the rec
Communications of the Mississippi River
Commission of the proposed project of
deepening the river from Cairo to its
mouth.
The Endorsement of the Secretary of
War means that the fourteen-foot
channel scheme will necessarily be
brought before Congress during the
next session.
Some weeks ago the compission
forwarded to Gen. Mckenzie, chief of
army engineers, its report on the cost
of starting and maintaining fourteen
foot channel from Cairo down. Ac-
cording to this report, which was
based upon Investigations made under
the direction Of the commission of the
bars in the lower river, it will cost
81, 900, 600 year to start and main
tain fourteen-foot channel by dredg-
ing only. The present appropriation
for that section of the river is ST.
600, 600, but the commission wants an
additional million for the fourteen-foot
channell, which is to be part of the
general policy for the maintenance of
the lower Mississippi.
The chief of the army engineers ap-
proved the report, and forwarded it to
Secretary Taft. To-day the Secretary
placed his approval on it, with tie sug-
gestion that the commission make a de-
tailed estimate of the cost of the work
and have it in the hands of Gen. McKen-
zie by next June. That official will
incorporate it in his regular annual re-
port. The effect of this viii be to send
the matter to Congress in formal shape.
SO that branch of the government may
pass upon it.

Death of Right Rev. Rouxel

Death of Right Rev. Rouxel
From States of March II.
Right Rev. Gustave A. Rouxel auxil-
lary bishop of New Orleans departed
this life at 6 o'clock this morning, at
his residence 1909 Vaudeville, adjoin-
ing the Church of the Annunciation,
over which he has presided as pastor
for nearly q quarter of a century.
The end came peacefully and quietly,
so quietly in fact that the watchers
at the bedside had hardly any warn
ing OF the near approach of dissolu-
ton. Present in the death chamber
were several Sisters Of Perpetual Ador-
alton, from the adjoining convent, who
have been constant in their attendance
on the prelate since he was first strick-
en-, and who have never since left the
bedside day or night relieving each
other in watching and in ministering
to the wants of the dying man.
Father J. J. Rousseau the bishops
assistant was also present and gave the
dying prelate absolution.
The death of Bishop Rouxel re-
moved the first and only auxiliary
bishop that New Orleans ever had,
the appointment having been con-
ferred upon him by Archbishop
Chapelle who by reason of his appoint
ment by the Pope as Apostolic Dele
gate to the Philippines and to Porto
Rico was compelled to be absent for
considerable periods from the arch
diocese, thus making necessary the.
appointment of an assistant to per-
form his duties during his absence In
addition to this high office the late
Bishop was at times called upon to
act as administrator in succession of
Archbishops Odin, Perche, Leray and
Chapelle, all of which he did with
signal ability.

also armed themselves and lay in vrait
by the road over which the mob was
expected to pass. They mistook the
drummers for the advance guard of
the mob and after firing on them made
their escape.
Mcdowell, after being brought to
Dixon was hurried ON to Henderson.
The mob in pursuit arrived at the
Dixon Jail at 2 o'clock this morning
and finding there was no chance of
getting Mcdowell, Immediately set
out to beat the country with blood
hounds for the negroes who had fred
on the travelling men. The mob has
not found the four negroes, and
probably will not go to Henderson
after Mcdowell.

Race Trouble At Aloha


Aloha, La, March Is. The town OF
Verda is again in tbe midst of serious
race trouble, according to reports
which.reached this place at II O'Clock
tonight.
At that hour special passenger
train passed through Aloha, en- route to
Alexandria, with several wounded white
men on board, and it was stated that
other persons had been shot down be-
fore and after the special left Verda.
One of the wounded men is not expected
to recover.
Persons on the train said that the
streets of the little town were swarm
ng with men armed with weapons of
all kinds, while the rilroad station pre-
sented the appearance of an armed
camp.
It is feared that more shooting will
take place before morning, as excite
ment is at fever heat.
For some time the Taylor-Richard-
son Lumber Company has been having
trouble with its employees, chiefly
over the question of wages, and not
many weeks ago the trouble became
so acute that an outbreak resulted.
The race war which followed was so
pronounced that Gov. Blanchard took
special cognizance Of the matter and
ordered searching investigation.
1t is not known tonight exactly how
the shooting to-day started, but it is
believed to be the outcome of the
former trouble.
On the special train was George Poole
Of Orange, Tex, an employee of the
Taylor-Lumber Company of Verda,
who was wounded by shot through
the stomach. He is not expected to
recover.
Bob Strong was shot in the hand.
A man by the name of Scott was also
shot but is missing, having disappeared
during the trouble.
tits also reported that George Smith,
bookkeeper for the lumber company,
was shot while the special was leaving
town.
FROM DIXON
Special to the Times Democrat.
Dixon, Ky, March 15.-The fatal
wounding of deputy marshal Smith
Childers by Jake Mcdowell, at provi-
dence, KY, last evening, almost pre-
cipitated race war, and was the in
direct cause of two travelling men be-
ing shot.
P. B. Carter, travelling man of
Chattanooga, was dangerously and
perhaps fatally wounded, and ]. B.
Barry, another commercial traveller,
was painfully wounded. The two men
were shot from ambush by negroes
while driving between Dixon and
Providence, in company with two other
drummers. The negroes who did the
shooting evidently labored under the
impression that the quartette were
members of a mob pursuing Mcdowell. |
Deputy Marshal Childers was shot
while attempting to arrest Mcdowell.
The negro was Immediately taken into
custody and hurried to Dixon for safe
keeping. A mob of whites immediate
ly began forming and negroes in the
vicinity Of Providence hearing of this,

- Miss Milcent could not get the thought of it

suddenly, overcome by memories;
for after she had lighted the fire and
busted and arranged the pretty
things the room had seemed so empty
that she could not stay in it longer.
Il forgot to lock the door and to
turn out the lights she thought
quickly, land Jemima is in there.
Well. I'll catch her at it,"
Softly she climbed the stairs and
came to the open door. Then, as
little Anne had done, she stopped
short on the threshold. In front of
the fire in the little red chair sat

the child of her memories, with
dainty gown and golden hair, but
little thin child with rough shoes and
coarse dress,-but the sweet little
voice sang a lullaby to the babies as
another little voice was to sing years
before, and Miss Millicent's eyes
filled with tears.
