To the Public:
We. Ehe undersigned manufaeinr-
ars. residing In High Point. and Dem
ocrats. but believing In fair play. de-
sire 10 say that. OF our own personal
kno gieoge. Mr.. j. Eiwood Cor. OF
High Point. was not a member Of the
organization OF manufacturers who.
IN the spring of 1906. had trouble
with their abor. and we know AT.
Cox had nothing whatever TO do with
the socalled lockout. and the only
times he appeared before this organi-
zation was as a mediator.
The impression has prevailed
somewhat that the Manufacturers
Club OF High Point. had something
to do with the lockout. This was
not the case, the Manufacturers Club
had nothing TO do with this trouble
Furthermore. We know Mr.. Cox to
be largely interested In manufact-
uring here and elsewhere, and that
he has spent his life in encouraging
same. And in every movement un-
dertaken by the business men OF
High Point to secure equitable
freight rates. better equipment for
shipping our products, and better
service In handling same, Mr.. Cox
has always taken a most active part
and has rendered invaluable aid In
bringing about more favorable con-
ditions for shippers.

MIR. Hearst Says Haskell, Treasur-
CT OF the Committee, In Hostile %
American Labor-He Reads Some
Interesting Afidayits to Prove His
Charges.
Davenport. Iowa, Sept. 7.-William
r. Hearst delivered an address In
this city at q Labor Day celebration.
Mr.. Hearst said in part:
"If any one tells you that the
Democratic party il a new party
with a new attitude toward work
ingmen, l stand ready to prove that
1t is the same old Democratic party
with the same old deceitful attitude
toward workingmen.
When. years ago, workingmen,
were in Washington arguing for what
they honestly believed to be for the
best interest of themselves and their
families and their fellow citizens
generally, and Mr.. Bryan called them
public beggars,' he did not show a
spirit in sympathy with American
labor Or in harmony with American
ideas.
And when Mr.. Bryan the other
day appointed as treasurer of the
Democratic campaign fund, this man
Haswell, a member of a secret citi-
zens' alliance, hostile to labor in a
mean and cowardly way, he did not
show in that either a spirit in SYM
pathy with American labor or in ac-
cordance with American fair play"
Mr.. Hearst then went into details
concerning his charges against Mr..
Haskell. Mr.. Hearst, to bear out
his assertion, quoted from a resolu-
ton he said had been introduced by
Mr.. Haskell before a meeting of an
alliance. He also detailed the Incl
dent in which Mr.. Hearst said Mr..
Bryan termed workingmen public
beggars" and manufacturers rob
bers.' Concerning the latter charge
against Mr.. Bryan Mr.. Hearst read
affidavits from James Campbell, of
Pittsburg, and Charles Bryant, of
Anderson, Ind.

DAMAGE TO GEORGIA COTTON
CROP.


Will be Short Half Million Bales.
Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 4.---Commis-
sioner Of Agriculture Hudson to-day.
in an interview, stated that in his
belief the cotton crop OF Georgia has
been damaged by the recent rains TO
the extent of 100000 bales. The
Commissioner said that in only two
counties in the State is the crop up
to the standard of that of last year.
1.-The heavy rains, which were
general throughout the State two or
three weeks ago, followed by the ex-
ceedingly hot weather, account for
the damage" said Commissioner
Hudson. The two excesses caused
the cotton to shed its young bolls
and squares to such an extent that
every acre of farm land in Georgia
was literally covered with them. The
damage is greater this year than
ever before In my knowledge"

1t was all right, of course, for
Mr.. Bryan to court popularity with
those millions who revere the MEM
ory of Abraham Lincoln by having
his Denver Convention go out of it's
way to pass a resolution in honor of
the martyr.
But it was shameful thing for
this National Convention of Demo-
Gratis to hiss the name Of Robert f.
Lee.
Turn back to the July 10th issue
of the Atlanta Constitution, and
read how I. L. Straus, of Maryland,
was howled down. The sub-head
line is
"STRAUS WAS KISSED"
How came the Bryanites to hiss
Straus?
Because he endeavored to have
the name of Robert e. Lee mention
ed with honor.
Turn to the Life of Thomas H.
Benton" by Theodore Roosevelt,
and you will find that he praises Lee
as the greatest soldier that the An
glo-Saxon race has produced. Great
er than Wellington, greater than
Cromwell, greater than Marlborough,
greater than the great soldiers who
won at Agincourt and Poitiers. So
far as we know, the name of Lee
has never been mentioned diSre-
spectfully in any Northern book or
speech, during the last twenty years
We have supposed that all the nom
seeding States honored the unblem-
ished character of Lee, just as the
seeding States all honor the mem
ory of Lincoln.
But the Bryanites who insulted
