3 UNCLE TOMS LETTER.

Well, folks, faint a-going to fool
with politics for I've lived long
enough to find out there is nothing tc
it, only lot of hard feelings and
can't afford to hurt folks feelings. most
especially my neighbors, for the bene-
fit of somebody don't personally
know. I've always considered myself
democrat but il. i have to cut up and
act fool and use insulting language,
sarcasm. etc., please excuse me. Now,
you have it straight from the shoulder
Too much has been said already and il
there has been any money to it. l don I
know it, SO don't believe clean poll
tics call for any such methods at all.
The least offensive language we can
use the better, for am sure vinegar
never catches flies. I've long since
learned the people are going to do just
as they please, both in church and
state. The spirit Of independence is
abroad. Bossism in both ceases to be
effective, and we had as well concede
the fact as to keep mp confusion and
strife by trying to control. The fight
is between. bossism and independence
ism after all. OF course some won't
see it as / see 1t. .
Well, it's free country. and il we
can Z get shoes we can go barefooted.
am puzzled more about why people
like to read my letters than / am over
politics. / can't ses anything very
witty or smart in them, still like to
read them myself and I don't know
why. It's :'Uncle Tom" everywhere
l go, and it's ~ look for your letters
first Well, such things are enough
to give me the big-head, but it don't.

yet / amt any body's pet, OF course
/ make no pretensions to being a writ
ing genius, and don't have to have
a barber to shave my head to keep my
brain cool. Yet l manage to stay in

newspapers that condescend to notice
to see what / have to say. | try to be
reasonable and seek to infuse sunshine
into all of my friends. OF course 1
may not please all, but come as near
it as anybody else, and that's saying a
right smart.
Well, folks, if you want to drink
milk and eat honey, just subscribe for
the News and eat of the, dishes your
Uncle Tom sets before you. ....
W onder if anybody knows the au-
thor of ':Sweet William, or the en-
fated Lovers. If they do wish they
would tell me thru the News.

do better in mating for life If we

are born lucky They can publish ar

other journals clip from them and give
paper credit. while the original jour

It is amusing to note many men who
ardently supported Bryan in his three
defeats, strenuously endorsing Patter-
son, who traitorously voted against
Bryan. Their sole cry now is that
Patterson is a Democrat. Was he a
Democrat then when he went back on
a democratic issue, that was called for
by the popular vote Of the country, II
not by the electoral collegef More con-

The News does nOb en8rg6 Tor ODisu-
ary xhRtter and has nsvSr done 20. t0f
cousse weaexpect ialle obituary matter
furnished to be reasonableein extent.
Many whose deaths are recorded in the
columns Of this paper, were friends of
this journal, or the matter sent 4re-
garding their death and burial was
furnished by parties who are friends
of the paper, hence we have never
been greedy enough to refuse our lit
tie assistance on such sad occasions.
The mass of public opinion greatly
regrets the contest of the recent cleo
tion in this county by Messrs. Patton
and Deakins, as it will involve the
offices in chancery proceedings, besides
raising bitterness. In view Of the
charges made the cleo tion should be
held over as regards those candidates
at the two places mentioned by mutu-
al agreement, and If no mutual agree
ment is made, held anyway to verify
the preceding count, and then have
recourse to the court, ''if SO dispoged"
as Mrs. Camp would say.
It is hard to say which political par
ty is in the worst condition. The Re-
publican Party. of course, shows the
most serious offence, since it has much
to lose where the Democrats have very
little. The news from all over the sol
id South particularly disheartening
to the Democrats. In Texas, which
has been, in the language of the old
Democratic stump speakers, rock rib
bed and mountain buttressed, the dis
sension in the party passes insurgent-
ism. Il is open secession. with an as
tonishing number of the leading Dem
ocrats in bitter and active opposition
to Senator Bailey, and the same de-
nouncing him If anything, itsis
worse in Tennessee, where apparently
one half of the Democratic Party, in
Guiding the strongest, and best men, are
out in open revolt against Governor
Patterson and will vote for anybody
rather than for him. National Tri-

COTTON CROP BETTER.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal

summary on Monday:

promise to be fatured. The plant
within the past two weeks has
grown very rapidly and is attaining
lair size. 1t is setting bolls quite
satisfactorily and the firm tone is
decidedly more optimistic.
Such rains as fell in the past
week were beneficial. They were
local in many sections, however, and
the Carolinas and parts of Georgia
would be benefited by general pre-
o:pitation.

been to cause active buying and a

in comparison with the new crop,
DuL interest in that n"uth has been
small.
Unfavorable reports are still be-
ing received from some of the Eas-

able weather conditions. The crop
in some sections is still said to be
small and late. Reports of spot con-
ditions of the fields are numerous.
Some take the ground that over
three-quarters of Texas there has
been considerable decline in the con-
dition of the crop since the date for
the last Government reports were
sathered. The belief still exists
among many that the total yeild is
certain to fall below twelve million
bales, unless exceptionally favorable
weather conditions prevail in the re-
mainder of the growing and the
Eicking season.
