Hozv and Why / Bought the Land

The first land [ ever bought, was the place
where [ was raised. The panic of 1873 swept
away the remnants of my fathers property,
and at the time | came to Thomson to prac-
tice law (1876) "the old people" we're living
on piece of sandy land in Richmond Coun-
ty. The dwelling was a little shanty. The
smoke house, larder, pantry, buttery, etc., con-
sisted of home made bookcase that had be-
longed to my stately old grandfather. The
shelves for the books were built above the
desk, you know. The desk had the usual lid
on it, and the holding capacity of its insides
was more than sufficient to hold all the meat,
lard, meal, flour and butter that the family
ever had on hand at one time.
A certain well-to-do farmer, who had hired
my "next oldest" brother, imposed on him
and because my brother licked his son in
fst-and-szull fight, this well-to-do gentleman
beat my little brother. The boy came to me
in Thomson and, crying, told me how he had
been treated. / got me a small pistol from
somebody, and waited for the gentleman to
come to town. He did so, the following Sum
day morning. / went to him, and began
conversation. He hardly got a chance to say
anything. The distance which the noise of

bigger, but his conscience was against him.

Chamb Clark in Bad Company

I think world of Champ Clark, the Dem
ocratic House leader His horse sense, his ro
bust manliness, his intelligent combativeness
excite my admiration.
But he has made bad mistake. A ten
million dollar corporation, composed Of rich
St. Louis Republicans, is no place for Champ
Clark.
The fact that Senator Gum-shoe Bill Stone
has gone into it, too, only makes matters
worse Senator Gum-shoe is parlous po-
litical bawd, and everybody knows It,
Nor is the situation improved by the TACT
that Jim Griggs, of Georgia, went into the

big combine, on the ground-hoor The rec
ord of Congressman Griggs is we'll known to
Champ Clark. At the extra session he used
the power of his position on the Committee
of Ways and Means to help the Lumber
Trust. The Georgia and Florida Saw Mill
Association enjoyed the unusual favor of two
hearings before the Committee And Griggs
not only helped the Lumber Trust in Com
mittee, but helped it in the House
Worse still, he deserted the Democrats,
and went over to the Republicans to support
Cannonism, whose immediate work was the
new Tariff bill, which taxes blankets at 1855
per cent, increases the duties on hosiery, and
advances the prices of cotton goods
Champ Clark must have felt bitter resent
ment, when Jim Griggs deserted him, and
went over to the enemy. Had Griggs and
those other Democratic deserters been true to
their colors, Joe Cannon would have been
overthrown, and the stand-patters would
have lost control of the House.
Champ Clark knows this He knows that
Jim Griggs was one of the deserters of whom
Lon Livingston said to Joe Cannon,-"J0e,
Zee got you another Georgia cote :"-elicit
ing the gratifed acknowledgment, "THAT'S
GOOD, LON."
Champ Clark knows that Livingston
'legged" for Joe Cannon, and that Jim
Griggs eoos one of the earliest recruits of
aohom Lon reported to has Republican boss,
and of whom the boss might have said to his
Democratic henchman, "7hats good, Lon."
And yet, in spite of all this, Champ Clark
unites with Griggs, Stone, and the wealthy
Republicans of St. Louis, in the mississippi
Valley Transportation Company.
When Democratic Congressman, like Liv-
ingston, conovasses for rotes for a Republican,
like Joe Cannon; and when enough Demo
Gratis are won over to secure victory to Can
non; and when the Householder of the DEM
ocrats forms copartmership a0ith one Of
these traitors and lot of rich Repu6Hcans,-
who is it that can expect any genuine relief
from either of the old parties?

Hoe Much Baggimg to the Bale /?

Cotton growers are greatly disturbed be-
cause Of new regulations in the wrapping of
the bale.
They resent the change; first, because they
don't like to be dictated to. They feel that
they have the right to do as they please, with
their own.
But there is also feeling that they are
being treated unjustly. The Liverpool prices
have always been made on the basis of &C. I.
Cost, Insurance, Freight The per cent.
stands for Tare
You remember how we used to 'fgger'
Tare and Fret, at school. The Tare on a box
of tobacco is the weight of the wooden box.
The Tare on barrel of crockery is the
weight of the slaves and hoops. The Tare
on bale of cotton is, the bagging and ties.
Therefore, when 6 per cent. is knocked off
for Tare, each bale of 500 pounds loses 80
pounds.
So far as [ know, the cotton grower is the
only seller who loses the Tare. In all other
cases. the purchaser pays. Liquids in bottles
and jugs; corn and meal and flour and coffee
in sacks; lard in the can, meat in the bag
Grated goods-the purchaser always loses the
Tare.
Don't they make the bottles short measure?
Test it and see. Turn up pint or quart bot
tie, and notice how the bottom runs up into
the interior, lessening the holding capacity.
In that way, you lose the Tare:
But the cotton grower loses the bagging
and ties. He pays Tare to everybody when
he buys: nobody pays it, when he sells.
Poor old Farmer doesn't he catch it, on
all sides?
Unless the Liverpool rule has been changed,
it is very great hardship on the cotton
L. L
which weighs less than 80 pounds.
When he loses bagging and ties to that
amount. he is stuck for the cost of the wrap
page only; but when he is compelled to use
less wrappage than 80 pounds, he begins to
lose actual cotton.

BRIDGE ON FIRE

Street Commissioner Kuhlman noti-
fed the police department this after
noon at 3 o'clock that the Columbia
avenue bridge was on fire. The FIR
department was also notified and COM
panies 1 and responded.
1t is not known how the fire started.
At latest reports the bridge was burn
ing fercely and the fire department
was doing its best to extinguish the
blaze.
Of course, the bridge is constructed
mostly of steel, but tht wooden plank
ing caught on fire and was burning
fiercely when tht rtport was sent in
to the department.
Although the loss would not be as
grtat as a result of the burning of
the floor of the bridge it is feared that
the heat will twist the steel girdtrs un-
til the bridge will be ruined.
The bridge has ntver bten opened
to traffic owing to. the failure of the
Hammond city administration to build
approaches to the bridge It is thouiht
that the fire mty havt been started by
tramps who lived under the bridge.

SUIT BEFORE JURY

Suit Lasts Two Weeks

From the Nickel Plate
Railroad Co.

The personal injury case of Mrs.
Patrick Reilley of this city against
the Nickel Plate Railroad company,
which has been on trial in the Michi-
gan City superior court for nearly two
weeks, was finally given to the jury
this morning. Up to noon today the
jury had not returned a verdict
1t was at first expected that the
case could go to the jury last night,
but at the last moment he attorneys
on both sides decided to put on more
witnesses or have some of the former
witnesses corroborate their statements.
Either Party to Appeal.
While the jury had not returned its
verdict this noon it was said that either
party to the suit would appeal the case
in the event judgment going against
it,
The case has been stubboraly fought
on both sides. and Hammond people
have watched the progress with much
interest, because of Mrs. Reilley's prom
inence in Hammond social circles and
because of the sympathy that has been
extended to her in her illness and also
because of the large amount, $4,000,
for which her attorney Peter Crum-
packer. sued.
