Socialist literature. But [ can not see
the result if the Socialists win. In
other words | don It understand it as

matter is [ had rather risk il lifting
us from under the fangs of the money
power than either one of the two old
parties. But why not let the Popu-
Lists and all the laboring classes hold
convention and reorganize? I think
the time now ripe for the Populists
to reorganize in every State in the
Union and advance in a solid body
against the greed and graft that is
daily clutching the laborers and slow
ly but surely pressing them to the
wall.
In conclusion let me say, that I
hope for speedy reorganization of
the Populist Party.
Respectfully,

hundred. He said to me: "I would
Like to read Mr.. Watson's magazine,

said that if Congress would pass
law putting the whites and the blacks
on equality in every respect that the
South would not have the backbone
to resent it, and / am of the same
opinion. Tell US what you think
about it.
In regard to organization You sug-
gest counties and States holding mass
meetings, and ask the opinion of
Others. 1t might be all right in
Georgia, but it would not do in North
Carolina, for the machine Democrats
would side-track the movement every
time.

To Hon. Thomas E. Watson:
If you see fit, please publish this,

This is a beautiful location for a

Broad river. The people are more
intelligent than the average mill folks,
and all who have read your paper

both, and admire your fearless way
of telling the truth. There are about
two thousand inhabitants, with eight
hundred on the mill payroll. We

Hoping you will continue your good

Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga,
Dear Friend: [ have been reading in
The Jeffersonian what you say about
foreign missions, and [ think you
hit the nail on the head'
think that We should let our lights
shine more at home; get right here
frst-show the heather that we have
something better than they have, then
it will not take so much free bread,
clothing, etc., to convert them. I
notice Bro. Scoville says 'more
anon.' I sure am anxious to hear
from him again, if that dose you gave
him April first does not finish him.
If it takes SIT to convert Geor-
gian, what does it cost to convert a
North Carolinian?
Yours very respectfully,

ROOSEVELT FAMILY PLANS

3 ii
Wife to Meet Ex-President at khar.
toum in April, 1910.
Oyster Bay, l.. l., March 1).-Accord-
Ing to the present intentions of eX-
President Roosevelt his entire family,
with the exception of Mrs. Longworth
and Theodore, Jr., will spend most Of
the time in Italy while Mr.. Roosevelt
Is away. They will be the guests OF
Mrs. Roosevelt's sister, Miss Carew, at
her villa near Rome. Mrs. Roosevelt
will remain at Sycamore Hill only
about three months after her husband
and son Kermit sail for Africa.
She and her three children will
leave by Mediterranean steamer for
Naples some time the latter part of
June or July 1. They will be met at
Naples by Miss Carew, who will take
them to her villa near Rome. During
the nine months intervening until the
arrival of Mr.. Roosevelt at Khartoum
Mrs. Roosevelt and her children will
visit various parts of Italy and Eu-
rope. 1t has been planned to have
Mrs. Roosevelt leave Italy early In
March, 1910, and journey across the
Mediterranean and thence by boat
and rail up the Nile to Khartoum.
Here Mr.. Roosevelt with his expedi-
ton will arrive about April and will
be met by Mrs. Roosevelt. They will
make visits to points of interest in
Egypt on the way down the Nile and
will then proceed to Europe, where
Mr. Roosevelt has made several en-
gagements for the early summer. It
is probable the former president and
his family will afterward spend some
time travelling through Europe.

HOW COLDS ARE
CONTRACTED.
ALWAYS RESULT or UNDUE
EXPOSURE.
Rapid Cooling Of the Surface Of
the Body Brings About the
Common Ailments Of
Mankind.

An acute catarrh, that is cold, is always
the result of undue exposure to low temper
atures. The rapid cooling of the surface,
when not balanced by proper reaction, pro-
duces congestion and inflammation Of the
nasal and bronchial membranes. Obviously
such an ailment is not communicable, in the.
ordinary sense from one individual to an
other. AS the slightest "cold" predisposes
the individual to attacks of the most severe
and dangerous catarrhal affections, the me-
cessity for quick cure need not be enforced.
These facts emphasize the necessity of extra
precautionary measures against the ordinary
cold. Everyone cannot change his climate
at will but may make the most of what he
has at home, viz, take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy as soon as the first indication of the
cold appears. It not only cures acold quickly
but counteracts any tendency of the cold to
result in pneumonia. This fact has been
fully proven during the epidemics Of colds
and grip of the past few years. No case of
either of these diseases having resulted in
pneumonia when this remedy was used has
ever been reported to the manufacturers.
and thousands of bottles of it are sold every
day, which shows conclusively that it is not
only the best and quickest cure for colds, but
a certain preventive Of that dangerous dis.
ease, pneumonia.

COURT BUILDING IN
DANGER OF COLLAPSE
Great Crowd CIanors for Ad-

Nashville, Tenn, March 1J.---So
great was the throng which tried to

arguments in the Cooper-Sharpe trial
for the murder Of former Senator 3.
w. Carmack that the architect of the
building appealed to the Judge and de-

accident. Long after the room itself
could hold no more the curious people
continued to push into the corridors
and up the stairWays. So great be-
came the crush that fears were exr
pressed lest the ratings give way and
precipitate those on the stairways
down upon those beneath them. Judge
Hart hurriedly sent deputies into the
corridors and soon cleared them en-
tirely. Judge Hart again admonished
the audience to refrain from any kind
Of demonstrations and General Meeks

His preliminary remarks were spoken
in such low tone that even the

warmed up he said:

Standard Subsidiaries Must
Quit Missouri.
REFORMED CONCERN STAYS.
Judgment Against Waters-Pieroe Oil
Company Suspended and Its Right
to Do Business in State Restored.
Decision Considered Great Victory
for the Minority Interests Of Latter
Corporation.

Jefferson City, Mo-, March 1l.-The
motions by the Standard Oil company
of Indiana and the Republic Oil COM
pany Of Ohio for a rehearing of the
custer suit recently decided against
them and for q modification Of the
Judgment were overruled by the Mis-
souri supreme court. The position of
the Waters-Pierce Oil company was
upheld, the motion of the attorney
general for an absolute custer of the
Missouri company being denied, the
compliance with the court order re-
Gently filed by the company approved
and the Judgment of custer against it
being suspended.
The effect of these decisions is to
expel the Indiana and Ohio companies
from Missouri and to restore the Wa
ters-Pierce company, 60 per cent of
whose stock is held by the Standard
Oil company of New Jersey, the right
to do business within the state. The
Standard Oil interests are expected to
appeal from the decision and carry
their case to the supreme court Of the
United States.
The decision is considered a great
victory for the Waters-Pierce COM
pany and incidentally for the minority
interests of that concern, who claim
to have been making unavailing eff
forts to free the company from con.
troll Of the New Jersey corporation.
Oppose Standards Plan.
With this object in view they declined
to approve the proposition made by
the Standard Oil company of Indiana
that that company be allowed to con-
tinue business in the state under
trusteeship composed of representa-
tiyes Of the court and the company.
This proposition would have given
to the state measure of direct con-
troll of a corporations affairs, had it
been adopted by the court. But it
was ignored in the announcement by
the chief justice, which simply stated
that the motion for a modification Of
the custer decree had been overruled.
With the judgment of custer made
absolute against the Standard Oil COM
pany of Indiana and the Republic Oil
company these concerns must now
pay their fines Of $4,000 each and
cease business in the state.
I The $4,000 assessed against the
Waters-Pierce company has been paid.
|1In conjunction with the certified check
which the Missouri company filed
with the clerk of the court there was
presented a document accepting" the
courts original decree, which carried
conditional permit to continue BUSH
ness. These provisions included one
that the company must be reorganized
SO as to be free from Standard Oil
control.
