good land on shade, ornamental and fruit
trees-need every foot of soil for cotton
1t the price reaches twenty cents, / tremble
for the wide piazzas of the dwelling, and the
spreading sheds around the cribs and barns,
for there will be tendency to plant right up
to DOORS windows and chimney corners
Of course, that would mean bumper crop,
again; and another agony of low-price cot
ton. The freezes which we have had make
it practically certain that the crop of 1910,
on the same acreage as in 1902 will be very
much larger; and consequently it is all the
more to be regretted that the Wall Street
gamblers should encourage the farmers to
glut the market by planting everything in
cotton.
Do all that you can to get our people to see
this. In every possible way, discourage the
planting of about of-doors in cotton.
It took no prophet to predict possible
slump In prices as THE JEFFERsoNIAN did
month or so ago. Amy6ody could see that a
Wall Street game was on Nobody could tell
which would win, the bulls or the bears. But
/ hated to see our people take part in it, and
hence my warning. There are lots of the
"stung", who are sorry they wouldn't listen.
How much do you suppose the South lost,
on that drop of nearly $500 per bale? We
were hit for untold millions. Where did the
money go? To Wall Street
Taken as a section, [ shouldn't wonder If
the Cotton Belt did not lose every dollar that
was made on the advance from twelve to fif-
teen cents.
In other words, the Southern lambs were
sheared of all their surplus wool
Poor sheep! They never learn anything.
They bleat good deal, but Wall Street gets
the wool, all the same.

What Say You, DR.. LoveH, Bell
and Graham, II. d. Ubshaw!
Are You Violating the Law?

A weekly paper may legally continue go
ing to subscriber four months, after has time
has eppired Beyond that, 1t as q v5ozatiom of
the lar to send the paper.
Are DR.. w. C. Lovett and his Wesleyan
Christian Adv0cate obeying the law? If not,
why not? My information is, that DR.. Lovett
pays no attention whatever to the law. When
the Aduoc0te starts to coming they say you
can't get it stopped, hardly. They say it is a
come-to-stay visitor, and never knows when
it has worn out it's welcome A man, in mo-
ment of mental delusion, hands in his two
dollars, and the Advocate begins to arrive.
At the end of the year, he has had bellyful,
and wants the AdOocate to ring off. But it
doesn't. 1t continues to come Nothing can
stop it. All the following year, and the next,
and the next, the Advoc0te keeps on aeon
ing At least, that's what hear
Is it so, DR.. Lovett? Are you ruthless
law-smasher?
Are you one of the publishers who have
been loading the cars with illegal mail-thus
adding to the spoil Of the railroads, AND TO
THE POSTAL DEFICIT?
1t is a fair question, DR.. Lovett If you
have been slandered in this matter THE JET
FERsoNIAN wants to set you right
But if you are violating the laws of the
land, to keep up q fictitious circulation, AND
THUS HOLD YOUR ADVERTISING
PATRONAGE, the people are entitled to
knowledge Of the facts.
The same questions are hereby asked of the
arrogant high-steppers who run The Chris
tian IndeD.
Are you violating the law, Messrs. Bell and
Graham?
And you of the Coca-Cola advertisements
you Mr.. w. D. Upshaw: are you obeying
the law, or violating it?

ton? Would you Georgia members of the
Union ever have known anything about it, If
IHE JEFFERsoNIAN had not given you the
facts? Why should any member of the
Farmers Union desire to be kept in the dark?
1t would be very strange indeed, if none of
the leaders ever made mistakes, or went
astray. You ought to thank me for keeping
y0u posted.
Duckworth has now got back to the right
position on that Merchant Marine-Ship-S Sub
sidy business and I'm not paying any more
attention to him, just at present.
He is yozed up with Hon. Sam Gompers
on the Pearre bill, and some other things,
equally dangerous to our farmers; but until
he shows his hand, I've nothing more to say
The Union has been put on notice. the boys
understand the Gompers plan and it's periIs
and Duck will go mighty slow in attempting
to keep that pact with Bro. Gompers
[, myself, am heartily in accord with Presi-
dent Gompers in his war on the Steel Trust,
on Child Slavery, and the butcheries of the
corporations; but he is wrong on those other
matters
(2) Have not been ''too hard on Lee
John has been guest at my house on three
different occasions. He has broken bread
with me-has eaten my salt Our relations
were confidential [ kept nothing from him;
and he, apparently was equally frank with
me. The last time he was here, he volun-
tarily said, in substance, Il am going to keep
IN touch with you; and am going to advise
with you, whenever question of policy is In
doubt" [ told him to feel free to call on me,
at any time, and promised him cordial sup
port. AS we walked to the street entrance to
the grounds said to him,
"You tell Duckworth to keep up the agri-
cultural end of it, and / will attend to the po-
htlcal issues; and our two papers will do
great things for the people,
Bless my life The very next thing [ knew,
Duck was In Texas making "an enthusiastic
speech" for the Ship Subsidy resolutions; and
was giving three pages Of his paper to mis-
leading article, on the same line. And when
| opened up a fusillade on Duck, because of
this outrageous attempt to betray the farm
ers, who should come into the ring but John
Lee? Without calling me over the telephone,
or writing me letter demanding my author
lty, and without making the slightest investi-
cation on his own hook, he began to write
letters abiding to my charges as ''Watsons
ies". Not only that, he began to dish out
falsehoods by wholesale, in defense of Duck
worth, Boodehunter, and that bank wrecking
Atlanta lawyer.
[ had not attacked John Lee-had no idea
of doing such thing. My purpose was to
keep faith with him. He broke his word to
me, and has been doing all he could, "behind
closed DOORS, to deceive his brethren of the
Union.
(3) Have not been 'too hard on Boden-
hamer" Without any just cause, whatever,
he practically boycotted us when he became
Ducks business manager. More than that,
he printed an attack on me in Ducks paper
Still, / did nothing. It was not until after he
had ta0ice told member of our staff about
