Of the loveliest, most valuable estates in Vir-
ginia.
Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee owned
magnificent plantations. So did Generals
Wade Hampton, J. E. B. Stuart, Turner
Ashby, and dozens of other heroes Of the Con
federacy. Tens of thousands of the South
em men who volunteered to serve in the
Confederate army, in defense of our rights,
were men who left large estates and lives of
ease, to share the fatigues of the march and
the dangers of the battlefield with the poor
est soldier

Ihe Socialists claim that no man should

"Z'he shoemaker should stick to has laSt"
General U. S. Grant was a great soldier;
but when he embarked in business, with a
Wall Street partner, he made a disastrous
failure that darkened the last years of his life
General John d. Gordon was as fine an
officer as ever strobe or rode over battle
field; but his commercial ventures were la
inevitable mistakes, which entailed heavy
losses upon thousands of people.
Of course, Mr.. r. F. Duckworth is more
gifted man than either Gordon or Grant. At
least, he thinks So and that comes to the same
thing so far as he is concerned
AS long as he let politics alone, he went
ahead swimmingly. Pretty much anybody
could run such a newspaper as his-es especially
as the funds of the Farmers Union keep a
regiment of subscription agents in the field,
working for "our paper"-which isn't "ours''
at ALL
But Duckworth got tired of Hog and
Hominy, Diversified Farming, Raise Every
thing at Home, and Let Politics Alone He
apparently grew weary of letters written or
faked) in which the admiring writers (real
or fictitious) assured this modest Duck that
he and Boodlehamer were publishing the best
paper that the correspondent (actual or
imaginary had ever seen.
So Duckworth plunged into politics. And

ZONE of the Farmers Union leaders
A who want to play Big Ike, influenced
~ the farmers, In 1907 to refuse - cents
49, for their cotton. 1t is now understood
that the spinners were ready to take the crop
at that price.
But the Big likes demanded Is cents, and
the fight was on. The spinners and 6anh-
ers combined, AND THE BIG IKES
COULDN'T DO 4 THING. Cotton tum-
bled to cents, and even less. The farmers
lost millions Of dollars. THE BIG IKES
LOST NOTHING THEY HAD MOTH
ING TO LOSE.
At this time, when we can get IA 1-2 cents
for middling, the same Big likes are trying
to get the farmers to hold for higher prices
To do So under the circumstances, would be
mere gamble.
Who are the advisers who tell you not to
sell at Il 10 cents?
The same Big lies acho told you not to
sell at 12 cents, in 1907
The warehouse owners would naturally
like to make storage and commissions out of
you. The insurance companies would like to
earn premiums. Billy Witham would glad
ly get his itching finger in your pie. Raw
enously fond of pie, is Billy
Farmer, cotton noay soar; and then, again,
it may tumble. Don't gamble on it, The
present price IS more than you dreamed of,

every week of the last three years, and I

P. S.-Duckworth is lodging on this mat

The memorial resolutions in honor of T. j.

man, were not an "Obituary Notice.
The obituary is simply few lines stating
the fact that some man, woman or child, aged
so many years, has died of such and such d
disease, and will be buried or has been
buried, at time and place mentioned
The Farmers Union Neacs could very prop
erly excuse itself from publishing such no
tees just as THE JEFFERsoN1AN would, for
they, obviously, should be printed in the To-
cal paper But the memorial resolutions
adopted, as they always are, after the de-
ceased has been buried, are different thing
altogether, and different rule applies to
them.
THE JEFFERsoNIAN has never refused to
yield space to these tributes of respect and
affection, nor will it ever do so.

Who were the leaders of the reform move
ments of Modern Europe? Men of rank and
property.
Had not the Elector of Saxony, and other
members of the German nobility, supported
and defended Martin Luther, the Pope would
have burned him at the stake. The men of
station and substance made the Reformation
success. Lacking that indispensable sup
port the earlier reformers (Huss, Jerome,
Arnold, etc., had been burned alive by the
Popes.
Such leaders as the Marquis of Stein
founded the democracy of Prussia. Such
leaders as the Marquis de Lafayette, the
Marquis Condorcet, and the Count of Mira
beau were indispensable to the success of the
masses against the classes in France.
In England it was such men as John
Hampden, large landowner, who made the
successful struggle for the rights of the peo-
pie, against the personal government of the
King.
In Ireland, leaders like O'Connell, a man
of wealth, championed the cause of the OPP
pressed and devoted his life to their service
In America, the story is the same. The best
Democrats we have ever known were men of
goodly estate They devoted the best part of
their lives to the service of the common peo-
pie
George Washington owned upwards of
$4,000 acres of land; but he was so full of pa
triotism and public spirit that he spent eight
arduous, anxious years at the head of the
army, and refused to accept dollar for his
services.
Thomas Jefferson fought the entai1ed es-
tate and the monopoly Of the oldest child,
(primogeniture) but he made no war on
large estates. At the very time that he was
combating the ''tied-up'' inheritance, and
the system which gave all the property of
deceased proprietor to his eldest child, JEFF
ferson himself owned 10000 acres of fine
land
