they will devise system that will
soon cover the entire country. If
space can be bought in a number of
Northern papers and used for an
sWering every attack, in short time
wonderful change will be wrought
in our favor. I certainly believe
Southern people will gladly respond
with plenty of money for such a pur-
pose If the Daughters or other prop
er parties will take it in charge.
And, to show my confidence in the
success and great benefit of such a
movement, I will be one of one hun
dred to give five, ten or twenty-five
dollars to help start systematic
movement of the kind.
AS I once before stated, I believe
there is not man in the entire
South better adapted or more capa-
BILE of managing the matter than Tom
Watson, and I only wish he could
be induced to drop national politics
and devote himself to purely South
ern interests.
I see his friends want Mr.. Watson
to "call a convention" of "all re-
formers Mr.. Watson, don't do it.
You are almost the one and only
man to organize Southern party,
and now is the time to do it. Make
the first and strongest plank in your
platform American Suffrage for
White Men Only"-demand the re-
peal of the fifteenth amendment. Mr.
Taft says it will never be done, but
even he is not "all WISE" Twenty
years from now, when every buck
niger can read, write and quote
Yankee history, what purely white
people left in the country will thank
you, even if some do cuss you now,
for as sure as the present party re-
mains in power, so sure will the ex-
clusion laws be done away with and
the country is to be flooded with, not
thousands but hundreds of thou
sands, of the colored races of the
Orient. The powers that be DELHI
erately lie about the number now ar
irving, and that number is insignifi-
can't indeed, to the hordes of Chi
nese, Japanese and Indians waiting
for the rush when the gates are open
ed. Think of the millions Of Next
cans mongrel race, that never has
been controlled except by one man,
and he will soon pass away, with no
prospects of a successor capable of
control. Those millions of mongrels
will comparatively soon mix with the
hordes of the Orient, and then the
millions of negroes of the South, ever
ready to mix with anything, to say
nothing of the many Indians and
renegades whites who favor and en-
courage amalgamation, as many
many preachers and newspapers of
the North and the Northwest do,
with laws against it in but few
states-those of the South.

Gentlemen:-I enclose herewith
81 for Watsons Jeffersonian Maya
aine. am already a subscriber to
the Weekly. Heretofore I have de-
pended on getting the Magazine from
the newsstands, but they no longer
keep them in this unenlightened
burg.
/ wish to thank you for at least
three articles appearing in the Week.
" Of April s. I refer to Mr.. Nc
Chandless' article, "The Solid South"
which should be reproduced by every
Southern editor and should be read
by or to every Southern boy and
man.
Then that short letter from the ex-
Federal soldier of Hines Ala, J. M.
Allen. How I would love to clasp
hands with that old Yank. 1t GER
tainly does an old man like me good
to meet up with an old Yankee who
sticks to principles regardless of pen
sions and censure of the so-called
"loyal" Why, I wouldn't mind be-
ing licked by them half so badly if
all Federal soldiers were J. M. Aliens.
The third article was Southern
Womanhood," an editorial copied
from the Rip Saw. Talk of paying
500 for "prize essay of perfect
English" insults and eulogizes. A
present Of 800 from Southern peo-
pie to the Rip Saw would be but
small appreciation of a Northern ed
itor honest enough and fearless
enough to attack one of the many lies
published by enemies Of the South.
| have before called attention to
the advisability and actual necessity
of a systematic attempt to answer
and expose the infamous articles con-
tinually appearing in the Northern
press. What's needed is to answer
the lies and remove the ignorance of
things Southern that prevails at the
North; that would eventually bring
true history" For forty years
nearly every Northern paper seems
to think it's duty is to educate the
people to hate anything and every
thing Southern. Every one who has
travelled at all extensively in the
North knows how thoroughly their
teachings have taken possession of
the masses. Even sc-called Demo-
cratic papers freely give their space
to any renegade who can write
scurrilOuS article about the white
people of the South. Every day we
are Inundated by having to read mis-
statements, insinuations, slurs and
Infamous lies without the privilege of
reply, unless it be in a Southern pa
per, which but few Northern people
ever see, and our people continue to
ignore the effect of such articles and
fail to answer the lies as did our
fathers forty years before ignore and
refuse to answer attacks upon them
and slavery until forced to arms in
self-defense-all over a horde of be-
ings a few degrees above the mon

be rid of (and would have been rid

Dates Set by State Depart

Preparatory 10 the negotiation Of trade
agreements with foreign countries, the
biggest Of the several important tasks
now facing the State Department, the
process Of serving formal notice on the
governments with which commercial
agreements are now in force has been
concluded. The notices which have been

the following dates for the expiration
OF the commercial agreements negotiat-
ed under the Dingley tariff act:
October 81. 1893. the agreements with
France, Switzerland ana Bulgaria ex-

probable that the department viii enter

tries, particularly those Of South Amer
lea, with a view Of securing mutual ad-
vantages In our commercial relations.

The truth Of the matter was that,
during the lonely walking hours since

he had been obliged to consider, he had
managed to let mis- thoughts wander

peaceful than those suggested by tne

SHEEP IN WYOMING
HAVE NEW DISEASE
Strange Malady Affecting
Lip and Leg Is Wide
spread in State.

The Department Of Agriculture to-
Gay took action toward stamping out
a disease discovered among the sheep
OF Wyoming and known as the lip and
leg disease. which is practically new in
this county
A few isolated cases are recorded.
but they give no basis for explaining
the sudden outbreak Of the strange at
tack among sheep in the State q VIZ
oming.
By Secretary Wilson's orders eight
counties Of that State have been placed
under stringent quarantine, which eff
fectveIy shuts on trade in cattle from
the infected counties. The disease has
now been raging in that section about
six months.
Necrobacillosis.
The complaint is known among scien-
lists as necrobacillosis, but with the
advent Of the ailment I'm Wyoming II
was uicknamed lip and leg disease. be-
cause OF the parts OF the animal at
fected 1t has no relation with the hoof
and mouth disease which ragged in
Maryland during the past year. 1t is
thought the process or stamping out

since infection Is only through SKIN
wounds
Officials in the Bureau Of Animal In
custry say they are at a loss 20 know
how the disease became so widespread
IN wyoming. So far as IS known IL
was not brought here from any other
country. IT ifs probable that single
animal came into contact with other
cattle in transportation. and that the
others became injected I'm the cars
where slight scratches of the skin are
almost unavoidable.
Can't Be Shipped.
According to the rules of the quaran-
tine issued by Secretary Wilson not
only cattle with the disease, but those
exposed 70 contagiOn, may not be moved
by any transportation company.
II is possible. however, TO move
healthy sheep that have not been OK

are under constant supervision and are
detained by inspectors at the slightest
symptom Of the disease among any of
their number.
The counties under the ban lie IN the
section where most Of the wyoming
sheep are raised. II is expected that the

EasLernshlpmeuts, and the general mar
ket prices may be affected unless the
ban Is lifted within a few months.

SCANDAL IN NEW YORK.
American Club Accused of Cnderhand
Methods in Winning Games.

| Washington, Sept. 29.-Scandal of
a serious nature threatens the Amer
lean league. In the closing days of
the season the biggest sensation since
the organization of the league has
been unearthed, and the outcome of
it is hard to predict. It is a GER
tainty that some one of the officials
of the New York Highlanders will
have to be dropped and perhaps the
franchise taken away from the pres
ent owners of the club.
The trick of disclosing the signs of
the opposing batteries and giving
them to the New York batters. which
was discovered by Trainer Tuthill of
the Detroit team last week, solves the
mystery that has been puzzling the
other managers of the league for
some time.
A man was stationed behind
fence in center field with a pair of
field glasses that were pushed
through a hole in the fence, and he
gave the signal to the New York
batter whether the opposing pitcher
was to deliver a straight or a curve
ball No effort was made by the bat
ter to hit a curve, but when he got
the signal by means of red or black
disk that was turned that straight
fast ball was to be pitched he set
himself for the ball and hit 1t so
that in almost every case it meant
base hit.
This man, it is charged. was paid
employe of the club and has been do
ing the work for several months.
