THE AONLY WAY OF ESCAPE.

When YOU were not looking, the
two old Trust Twins changed
your militia system. The new
name is the National Guard, and
the President will soon have the
power ito call out, which the
Governors had for a hundred
years.
You see the object, don't you?
AS The Jeffersonian has told you,
the President latter January
nexb will be authorized to march
New England troops to Atlanta
(the band playing, Marching
Through Georgia!') and they
will have the pleasure OF indulg-
ing their hatred of us by shoot
ing Us down in some collision be-
tween US and the negroes such
as that we had when Messrs.
Scott and Brand, of the Georgia
Railroad, were making their gal.
liant stand for the coons against
the Caucasians.
mike manner, the President
will be empowered to order
Georgia troops to quell Northern
workmen in Pennsylvania and
New England, and our people
will have the pleasure of making

the Yankees learn how it feels
to be shot down and crow ed
over.
Oh, the Trusts know how to
PLAY the game. They've got
you tied, hard and fast. They
can now play one section against
another East against the
West, the North against the
South, and vice versa. Not only
that, the new system admits OF
the negro being used against the
white, the country against the
city, the Catholic against the
Protestant, the conservative a
gainst the Socialist, and vice
versa.
Isn't it something fearful tc
contemplate? The Governors
will be powerless. They will
have to look on helpless as Fed
raj troops from a hostile section
back up the unsurpations and
notifications of the lower FEEDER.
al Judges,
Where were your statesmen
when this prodigious stride in
centralism was taken? Why did
none of the editors of the city
dailies arouse democracy in its
danger?

WHY THE FARM TELEPHONE IS so
POPULAR

The telephone is more essential
in country districts than in the
city, in the opinion Of the Allan
ia (Ga.) Constitu ton. This
newspaper recently reviewed in
its editorial columns a rural tele-
phone article which appeared in
the Manufacturers Record, also
a Southern publication. The
Constitution stated:
Commenting upon the mar
velous manner in which the tele-
phone is coming into vogue in
rural districts, and outlining it's
practical value to the farmer and
the rural resident generally, The
Manufacturers Record says:
1t is not alone that the
farmer can in this way keep
posted as to the price of his pro-
ducts, and many of the farmers
of the West depend entirely upon
the telephone in making sales of
grain and other produce valu-
able as the telephone is from this
point of view, it is even more
valuable in bringing the family
of farmers in touch with their
neighbors. The loneliness which

thrown out of Congress by me
in 1892, but the snake was only
scotched, not killed. When it
crawled back, under new
name, some years later, | was
down and out, with no way of
reaching the public ear, and had
no confidence that anything COM
ing from me would do any good.
But let me tell you how you
can yet defeat this conspiracy of
the Trusts against democracy.
Don't organize under the new
Federal law. Don't join the
National Guards. Don't give the
Federal law any material to OPP
crate on. Just stick to your old
State militia and State law. In
that way, and in no other. your
Governors will keep control of
the calling out Of the State
troops.
You need not expect Congress
to repeal the fatal law which ma
tionalizes your State militia.
The Trusts have Taft, the Cabi-
net and Congress in the hollow
of their hands. Anybody can
see that. -Jeffersonian.

quired If he would feel tie same objec-
ton to painter? The good burgher,
who anticipated no change Of craft on
the questiOner's part. replied that there
indeed, was a more refined profession.
What was his surprise and perhaps Sc
cret dismay when some months later
Quentin Metys reappeared and asked
for the fulfillment of the old burgher's
promise. He had, indeed, become a
painter and one already held in high
esteem. To commemorate his love and
his serving on her account Metys
limned an "auto-portrait" that now
hangs in the Effizi, at Florence. Those
acquainted with the secret know that
II they touch little spring in this
frame the panel opens like a door, and
behind the shelter Of Metys' own por-
trait is concealed that of his love and
wife, sweet Dutch face for whom
doubtless he deemed it we'll worth his
while to have played the part Of the
patriarch Jacob.

Love made Quentin Metys painter.
This great Fleming. whom both Ant.

birth, though the palm now rests with
Louvain, was the son of an able black
smith. Trained in his fathers craft,
the younger Quentin soon distinguish
cd himself by his work in this base
metal and among other matters turned
out the wonderfully delicate ironwork
that surmounts the we'll outside the
Cathedral of Antwerp. Already an ac-

A Putting Tip From St. Andrews.

A man on his first visit to St. An
drcws was much impressed by the
high standard Of efficiency which he
saw displayed on the green's by those
with whom he played. He studied the
actions Of these heroes to see If he
could discover any common feature in
their methods. At last he saw light.
He observed that they all hold the left
hand more under the club when put
ting than they did when driving.
From this he deduced rule Of con-
duct-"see the finger nails of the left
hand when addressed to the ball" For
the rest Of his stay, and it may be for
some time afterward, his own putting
improved considerably.-Lond Post.
