Splitting Nuisance.
Hawking and Splitting is caused
by ==aiarrh Germs.

II the local authorities want to stop
the disgusting habit of splitting
mucous on the sidewalks, they had
better instruct the people as to the
best method of killing the catarrh
germs and curing catarrh.
You can easily tell by reading the
symptoms below whether you have
catarrh or not:
Offensive breath, frequent sneezing,
discharge from nose, stoppage of the
nose, huskiness OF the voice, tickling
in throat, droppings in throat, a
cough, pain in chest, loss Of strength,
variable appetite, spasms of cough
ing, low spirited at times, raising of
mucous, difficulty in breathing, loss
OF vital force.
B. L. Middleton has a sensible
remedy (money back ifit fails) for
catarrh, called Hyomei, which is a
vaporized air so antisePtic that when
it is breathed over the infamed and
germs-infested membrane, it kills all
germ life and cures catsrrh.
The price including hard rubber in
haler, is only 81 90. and money back
if it doesn't cure. Extra bottles, so
cents
81 have tried almost every catarrh
cure on the market without benefit.
Have been using Hyomei for one
week and feel like a new man al.
ready."-Wm. V. Goode, Neward,

aqueduct under the town of Cornwall
on-the-HUdson and old Cornwall,
which is about six miles in length and
will cost about 81, 600 900. The mag
nitude of this undertaking can be
realized when it is understood that
seven shafts must be sunk, varying
from 800 to 500 feet in depth, for the
purpose of installing the necessary
machinery in the aqueduct below,
and for the lngress and egress of the
men at work, and for the purpose Of
an outlet for the earth removed in
making the excavations.

Left Records at Pole.

Asked what would be the Internal on

at the north pole. Commander Peary
said that he had notified the Secretary
OF State that he had taken possession
of the pole in the name of the United
States. and it remained for the Secre-
tary to decide what that meant. He
said he had lett records on the ice at
the pole. Commander Peary is done
with active exploring. He will con-
tinue to take an interest in Arctic and
and Antarctic exploration, but from
his home, and he declared that he
won d withdraw from field work. Com
mander Peary spoke freely of the death
of Prof. Marvin. OF Cornell University,
who at the head of one Of the support

ice on the return trip. The body was
not recovered and his personal fleets
were buried in the ice. A cross bearing

issue in the campaign, and if Candidate Smith
ever mentioned the matter in his speeches, we
never heard of it. Mr.. Watson did not know
that there was such plank in the Macon
platform until the new rules were formulated
in 1908. AS soon as he saw what the new
rules were, he realized how they endangered
the country counties, and he Immediately de-
nounced them. Bro. Tyson is the only man.
SO far as we know, who claims that this revo-
lutionary scheme against the country counties
was ventilated during the campaign Of 1906.
We were right in the thick of that contest and
never heard word of it. Had there been
no other reason for not supporting Hoke
the second time, that would have been suf-
hcient AS to how Hines, Wright Pendeton,
Hanson, etc, stood, that's all fudge. This is
a free country, and we take our position with
out reference to how others may line up.

The Wesleyan Christian Advocate.

In IT'S issue of April q, the above named
paper pours a broadside into Mr. Watson.
The subject is, of course that delicate ques-
ton of the beloved heather. The editors of
the Advocate are in righteous rage against
said Watson, and they giving it to him
hot and heavy.
Dear! Dear! How "techous' the brethren
are about those heather! Loving them better
than they love their own flesh and blood
they are in danger of becoming as fanatical
about the Chinese and the Koreans as the
Yankees are about the niggers.
In the June number of the Jeffersonian
Magazine Mr. Watson will answer the Ad-
vocate. In doing SO, he will not adopt the
discOurteOus tone the unfair tactics of the
reverend editors who have assailed him. He
will not allude to Brother Golfer, or to Brother
Lovett, as this man." and then proceed to
attribute to this man words that he did not
use.
",This man" is quoted as charging, in the
April Jefersonan Magazine, that "the con-
vents are the places of the deepest shame
Mr. Watson brought no such charge and
the pretended quotation is not to be found in
the article which these men of God were claim
ing to answer.
In another portion of the editorial against
this man, he is represented as sneering at
Dung J. Alien ana MS SaCr1nCeS and r1dl-
culing his intelligence, etc
Mr. Watson did nothing of the kind. On
the contrary, he spoke in terms of the highest
respect of the courage and conservation Of all
the pioneers of foreign missions, such as
Young J. Allen.
If the case for the present system of for
elgn missions is SO strong why SO much bad
temper, and bad manners and misrepresenta-
ton? What is there to get mad about? Why
endeavor to prejudice the minds of the peo-
ple-~by drawing fancy pictures of Mr.. Wat
son, sitting in his magnificent home debating
to stenographer,' and putting an overseer
on every farm at higher salary than mission
airy preachers receive? What has that got
to do with it?
AS matter of fact, pretty much everys
thing that Mr. Watson has pubished,-in
book. magazine or paper,-was written with
his own hand and his house is far from be-
ing "magnihcent;" and one overseer for his
over-estimated farms is quite sufficient, and
the salary of the same happens to be Just
leetle bit more than half that of foreign mis-
sionary

nave denounced the wrong immediately.
He did.
Now mark YOU neighbor, this criticism of
Hoke was published in November 1907. That
was several weeks before Watson appeared
before the Governor to ask that Glover be
given life sentence.
AS fair-minded man, Bro Tyson is bound
to admit the force Of this. Watson did not
begin a war on Gov. Smith after he had re-
fused to save Glovers neck. The war had
already begun before the Glover case came
before the Governor. Look up the old files of
the weekly Jeffersonian, if you doubt it.
In other words, Watson opposed Smith
each time that he went wrong lie opposed
the increase of the number of Railroad Com
missioners, believing that a reform Governor
was making mistake in adding so much to
the expense of that tribunal He censured
Smith for not calling the extra session in 1907,
as he had promised He thought Smith
very wrong in wanting to run for the Senate
before his first term was out, and he refused
to support Hoke in that breach Of faith.
1t was after Hoke knew that Watson was
against his then candidacy for the Senate that
he acted on the Glover case, refusing to COM
mute the sentence to life imprisonment
Communication was asked upon the ground
that Glover was a crack-bralned man who had
been "railroaded through instead Of being
fairly tried He had been a militant Pop of
the Old Guard a Watson man to the back
bone and the Augusta Ring had it in for
him" He was in their power, and they
showed him no mercy. The next time Bro.
Tyson is in Augusta let him ask Capt. George
Hood, the ailer, to give him the names of the
clergymen who prepared Glover for his death,
and let him ask those their opinion of
Glover's sanity. The board of physicians ap-
pointed by the Governor to examine the con-
demned man reported him as decadent and
detective.
He killed woman-his paramount the
heat of frightful tempest of passion,-killed
her brutality, and he richly deserved heavy
punishment But being man of unbalanced
mind, and the crime not being one of pre-
meditation, Mr., Watson thought life sentence
would meet all the demands of justice
He thinks SO yet But the Governor said,
in one of his speeches that, as the victim was
woman, he could not interfere
Yet he now saves the neck of Millirons the
man sentenced to death for the rape of a
woman The law puts murder and rape in
the same class, Furnishing both with death. No
woman who deserves the respect of good
people would hesitate in her choice if the
dread alternative were presented, Of being
shot to death, or being ravished. The right
kind of woman would choose death every time
Now, this man Millirons subjected his vic
tim to a fate worse than DEATH and the
Pardon Board refused to lift finger in his
behalf but Governor Smith grants to him what
was refused to Glover
Why this discrimination against the Old
Guard Popust? Why was there no relent-
lessness in this case WHEN THE VICTIM
WAS A WOMAN-just as in the Glover
Case?

but had changed his opinions and gone over to
the Democratic party.

was because | have learned more as | have
grown older
Then Sem McCumber had to butt in with,
"The advance made by the Senator from Okla
homa in the last ten years from the Popullst
to the Democratic ranks was a forward step.
Within the next few years | hope to see
him complete the advance and come over to
the Republican party
Gore was squelched.
What McCumber said of Gore is right to
the point.
If Populist of ten years ago advances
to become Democrat of today, he has to
advance" very little more to become a full
1edged Republican.
If going from Jeffersonian Democracy to
present day Democracy is advancing" the
Republican party,-the Platts the Forakers,
the Depews, the Adrichs-the entire crowd of
trust servants have been advanced" for years.
The poor Democrats have been over forty
years IN admitting that 1t is an advance from
Jeffersonian Democracy, under Jeffersonian
leaders, to their present day Democracy under
the leadership of such men as Aldrlch and his
high tariff Republicans.
What is Democratic" asked the New
York World" soon after the last campaign.
No two answering this query seem to agree
to what is Democrat.
Even the conservative Democrat" differs
with his brother "Conservatve.'
One conservative" claims to be a Demo-
crat of the Cleveland school, while another
Conservative contends that he is not entitled
to membership.
One Radical Democrat claims that Mr..
Bryan was Radical Democrat" in 1896, but
was not in 1908.
Another Radical Democrat says he was
as much Radical Democrat" in 1908 as he
was in 1906 but the growth of industries made
change in ideas necessary to keep apace with
the times.
And so it goes.
1t is hard to find two Democrats who agree
to what is a Democrat
