REFUSED ROGERS CASH.
Blacksmith Brother of Millionaire
Declined Gift.

Il do not want a penny of my
brothers money" declared Edward
Rogers, blacksmith of Watonga,
Okla, and brother of the late Henry
H. Rogers If Standard Oil millions.
A number of letters have been sent
to Rogers by his brothers attorneys,
which Rogers has refused to take
out of the postoffice.
Rogers, who has been running a
blacksmith shop at Watonga for a
number of years, has felt very bit
terly toward Henry H. Rogers. The
estrangement dates ten years back,
and occurred while Henry Rogers
was on visit to his brothers home.
The blacksmith's son asked Henry
Rogers for a loan for his father,
which was refused. Upon his re-
turn home Ed Rogers was advised
by his son that his brother had
turned down his sons request for a
loan. This angered Ed Rogers, and
he declared that his brother should
never set loot in his home again.

the small frecrackers, and American
manufacturers followed with big
ones. Noise has reigned ever since.

Official Drink in Georgia Must Be
Drunk in Good Old Way.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Governor Brown of Georgia-he
who has just gone into office-is
democrat of the "Old Hickory" va
riety. When he was inaugurated he
endeared himself to the hearts of the
plain people by appearing in a suit
of brown jeans, spun, woven, cut,
sewed and tied together in Georgia.
He does not strut around in the
name Joseph" like a prophet in
Egypt, but wants to be known as
plain Joe" Which shows that
Speaker Cannon has no patent on
the name that falls like music on
the Holsters ear. But Governor
Brown has gone one step farther
He has made Uncle Joe" Cannon's
Pittsburg stogle look like the hated
cigar of the superciliOus rich. He
has made Uncle Joe" Cannon's
slap on the back seem like a bit
of Henry Cabot Lodge GOODNESS and
reserve.
Farmer Joe" Brown of Georgia
is a horney-handed son of toil-one
of the plain people-and he doesn't
conceal the fact. When he walked
into the state capitol he noticed at
the water cooler a cut glass tumbler
"a display of wealth that did not
accord with his ideas He promptly
banished the shining glass to the pur-
lieus of the rich. In its place he
put a big old-fashioned gourd good
enough for anybody. That is a re-
buke, indeed, to the malefactors of
great wealth. Only the man who has
drawn up the old oaken bucket drip
ping from the we'll and lifted to his
lips the big old gourd with the wa
ter running around the side, knows
how good water can be. Water is
now the official drink of Georgia, and
Joe Brown is determined that it shall
be drunk in the good old Georgia
way.
Now, if the legislature will pass
an act providing that water shall be
the only legal drink in Georgia and
that it shall be taken out of a gourd
or not at all true democracy will be
restored, and Joe Brown will be hap
Ply as Andrew Jackson on a mule.

RONFRANKABLE
FRUIT NOT IN OFF,
CIAL CLASS OF COWS, LAUN-
DRY, TYPEWRITERS.

The pineapple is one of the most
delectable of fruits. 1t is constitu-
ent part of the ambrosia of the mod
ems, if not of the gods. And the
pineapple of Florida is the premier
of its kind. 1t is so good and sweet
and kind that it deserves all of the
protection that the tariff laws can
throw about 1t, so as to save it from
the competition of inferior and alien
pineapples grown in other countries.
Of this fact we have been repeatedly
assured by the Miami Metropolis, the
Florida East Coast Review, Senator
Taliaferro and other authorities.
In order to demonstrate to the
senators at Washington how good
Florida pines are, and how worthy
they are of protection, Senator ITALIA
ferro recently sent to each senator
two delicious, juicy, fat, ripe Indian
river 'pines," the very fragrance of
which was sufficient to make ones
mouth water. Somehow or other the
senators at Washington always pre-
fer practical demonstration of the
kind to any amount of mere argu-
ment.
Among those who received "pines"
with the compliments of Senator Tai
iaferro was Senator Smith of South
Carolina. 1t transpired that at the
time Mrs. Smith was at home in Flor
ence. The senator naturally desired
that Mrs. S. should taste Of the fruit.
How to get the pines" to Florence
promptly and safely was then the
question.
Senator Smith is a new hand at
the congressional bellows, but he is
an apt pupil. He had postal frank
in his pocket. He had heard of how
certain other senators had made use
of their franks to send their laundry,
their pianos and even their mich
cows through the mails. If they
could do things of that sort why
couldn't ne frank through a couple
Of pineapples? Not a great while
ago certain senator sent to the
postoffice a practically complete,
though small, library which he de-
handed should be transmitted from
Washington to his home town under
his congressional frank And the
| thing was done. 1t hasn't been a
great while since Senator Tillman
franked a typewriter from Trenton,
S. c., to Washington, explaining at
the time that the typewriter was
government property, and that sena-
tors had been in the habit of send
ing government typewriters to their
homes during recess and returning
them at the beginning of sessions,
the carriage each way being covered
| by their postal franks.
II cows and laundry and type
writer's could be franked through the
mails Senator Smith could conceive
of no good reason why a couple of
pineapples shouldn't be similarly
transmitted. And so he tried it. But
the postmaster turned down the ten
der, and the new senator had to send
stamps to defray the expense. Was
that fair? Was it not discrimination
against southern senator and a
southern product?

APPLE TREE YIELDED $4,000
Paintings oI 1t When Clothed in
Spring Garment Bring Fortune.


What is probably the most valua-
BILE apple tree in existence stands in
front of the Russell Smith residence,
on the hill just above the Episcopal
church at Weldon, Pa. Mr.. Smith is
said to have made $4,000 out of
this tree; not from the sale of it's
fruit, because the apples are small
and scrawny; nor from cuttings, be-
cause the tree has no value in this
respect, but from painting it when it
is clothed in it's wonderful spring
garment of red and white blossoms
and half-opened green leaves. Mr.
Smith was a celebrated scenic paint
er, and this apple tree in blossom
was one of his favorite subjects. His
canvases commanded a high price,
and the apple blossom pictures never
went begging for purchasers. In
fact, they were as good as sold when
painted.

of Georgia, is dead, having been in

years old, and her assertion could
not be disproved by rebuttal testi-

when the town was young.
Aunt Emily took in washing I'M

year or two had suffered with the
misery" When child she did not
see George Washington, and was thus
in a class to herself among centena-
rians.

Man Accused of Violating Automobile
Speed Law VIII Surrender and
Make Habeas Corpus Fight

present has no laws courts are bound
to recognize, H. K. Kimmel, client
of Sanders, will give himself up to the
police Monday and will be placed in
Jail. Attorney Sanders will immediate
ly begin habeas corpus proceedings
and he will thus get his case before
the superior court.
Kimmel was arrested shortly after
the consolidation election charged
with operating an automobile at rate
greater than thirty miles an hour. At
torney Sanders filed a demurrer to the
complaint setting forth the contention
consolidation knocked out all existing
laws ever passed by the city of Los
Angeles. Police Justice Freder1ckson
overruled this demurrer and the case
was set down for trial late in october.
Attorney Sanders appeared at the
station yesterday, however, and asked
Prosecutor Eddie If he would accept
the surrender of Kimmel and the pro-
ceedings in habeas corpus above re-
ferred to. To this plan Eddie agreed,
and the case will be fought out in the
superior court as soon as nearing

IMPERIAL VALLEY FRAUD
CASES PROGRESS SLOWLY

Men Guilty of Conspiracy

United States District Judge Olin
Wellborn is still listening to testimony
in the cases in which three Imperial
valley men are charged with EXTENSIVE
land frauds, but the progress of the
hearing is slow. Yesterday Mrs. Car
rie Taylor, formerly Mrs. Snyder, was
on the stand telling of the transac-

of land on which the town of Holt
Vile now stands as favor to F. N.
Chaplin, one of the defendants in the

her services to him.

ably last at least two weeks longer, II
not more. as there are a large num-

The accident was so surprising it
was several moments before Peterson's
fellow laborers came to his aid. When
they had dragged him out he had
swallowed some of the boiling water
and was badly scalded from his neck

until the success of their machine was
demonstrated.

government should have bought the Sc

tanned control of it, instead of allowing
the brothers to go abroad with their
aeroplane. .,,
Just imagine what the aeroplane will
mean in time of war. You can SEND
up an immense feet of aeroplanes, each
carrying 10-pound sticks of dynamite,
for what it would cost to build a bat

Figure out what damage they could
do on land and sea, even though half
of them were destroyed.
