Democratic Constituents Are
Growing Weary

Editor Jeffersonian: THE 11ths
Representative in Congress-said by
some to be 1.-The ablest member of
the Georgia delegation"-ha been
interviewed in Savannah and he pre-
diets that the next House will be
Democratic, and that great things
will be done when the Democrats get
into power. Mr.. Brantley thinks
Harmon, of Ohio, will be the Demo-
cratic nominee for President. In
this instance, feel certain that the
wish is father to the thought.
I have never voted anything but
a Democratic ticket in my life, but I
must admit that I am very weary of
the attitude of the representative
of my party. [ cannot see any sense
in the Democrats nominating a man
like Harmon. He would be as weak
as the unfortunate Judge Parker.
How Harmon would be any improve
ment upon Taft, if he should be
elected President, is more than I can
see. He loves the South not as we'll
and we have no assurance that he
would not be the tool of the corpora
tiOns, just as some of his predeces-
sOrs have been. He has never done
anything to commend him to the
people of the South, and what is the
use of throwing away votes on him?
I have about come to the conclu-
sion that the time is ripe-is right
now at hand-for the formation of
new party. The conservatives, -
that is, those who cater to the cor
poration and privileged interests,
should go their way, and the "radi-
GALS" if you wish to call them by
such a name, should flock together

What. Bill Bridges Said About
the JeffrieS-JOhnSOn Fight

At the opening of the Civil War
Bill Bridges, who belonged to that
great class known as the common
people," was too young to go to the
front until the great battle of Cold
Harbor. Bill arrived just in time
for this fight. He was a mere boy,
and his first duty was to go right
into this fight. AS soon as he begun
firing three or four of his fingers
were shot off. Jim Jordon, who was
by his side, belonging to the same
company (Capt. Battles, of this
town, Dist Georgia infantry, who
was noted for his absolute accuracy
of every fact of the war occurring be-
fore his immediate vision. told me
just before he died, about year ago,
that Bill made no groan, but with the
blood streaming from his wounds
grasped his hand and began moving
round and round in a circle The
noise of musketry and the cannonad-
ing was so loud that no human voice
could be heard ten feet. The colonel
of the regiment, John Thomas Mer-
GERS Ga West Pointer) attention was
attracted by Bills queer antics, and
he exclaimed in stentorian tone C
d-m; Capt. Battle, send your man
to the rear" Capt. Battle pointed
his sword in the direction of the rear
and Bill obeyed his orders. Old man
Bill is still living and is a privileged
character in this place, Cedartown

of that fight? The negro whipped
the white man. Old man Bills re-
Spouse was both Iaconic and pun
gent, Nothing but a Southern ne

Preparing for Battle

For many Moons the atmosphere
had been charged with the portents
of the coming battle. The young
Braves were busy with their prepare
tions, ever and anon letting out
strident war whoop. The Squaws
were busy providing copious supplies
of boiled dog, that the bellies of the
Braves might not grow thin on the
War Trail.
But in his Tent sat Hoaxmyth, the
great Medicine man of the Tribe,
making Medicine for the conflict. If
the Medicine were good, then would
the victory be great and the willy
Hoaxmyth would be not only Medi
cine Man, but also Chief of the
Chiefs.
At night by the fitful light of the
camp fires the Warriors danced the
War Dance of the Tribe, their ghost
ly gyrations accompanied by the
monotonous music of the Tom-toms,
and low, quaint and savage murmur
of the War Songs.
At length the Tribe were gathered
around the Council fires, and great
DOW WOW was held, and the mighty
Medicine man coming forth from his
tent, clad in the paraphernalia of his
Sacred office, appeared before them
and commanding silence by wave

STOCK OWNERS, ATTENTION!
Blackman's MediCated Salt Brick Bet
ter and Cheaper Than Stock
Powders and Is Highly
Recommended.


It costs no more per package than
stock powders, yet weighs one pound
more than the most popular 25-cent
package of stock powders we have
examined Besides, the Medicated
Brick contains no rice bran, cotton
seed bulls, or other non-nutritious
material. In fact it contains abso-
lutely nothing but dairy salt in which
are mixed Sulphur for blood puri-
fer, Copperas for worms and the bow
els, Saltpetre for the kidneys and Nux
Vomica. which is one of the best
known tonics.
1t is admittedly true that when
stock most need medicine they are
least inclined to take it, and though
needing nourishment, have but little
desire for it, and even this is often
destroyed by medicine being placed
in the feed.
Tt is also true that when stock feel
badly they crave salt more than at
other times. therefore our system of
giving stock medicine in salt is not
only the simplest and surest, but is
in every way the best, the common
sense plan. overcoming the disagree
able taste of the medicine, so objec-
tionable in other plans. This remedy
is highly recommended by large
stockmen throughout the South

Serum for hog cholera. I happen
to know that the Georgia Experiment
Station authorities have been alive to
this subject for considerable length
of time, but, while the State gives
hundreds of thousands of dollars to
other institutions, she gives the Sta
ton paltry annual sum of less than
$500 year with which to meet the
expenses of quarterly meetings of
the Board. Federal appropriations
support and maintain the Station in
the interest of Georgia farmers, and
the past twenty-five years the Sta
ton has been doing great practical
work for the farmers. Under re-
cent ruling of the Federal authori-
ties, brought out by an appeal on the
part of the Station to be permitted
to take up the important experiment
of arresting the disease in affected
hogs, and in protecting hogs against
the disease. which experimentation is
the legitimate and prescribed func-
ton of the Station, no portion of the
Federal funds can be used for that
purpose. The Station can go forward
and spend years of time and large
sums Of money trying to discover the
cause of the disease. 1t was urged
that it was infinitely more important
that the farmers should be put in
possession of serum that is curative
and protective than to know what
causes the disease. The reply was
that that can be done with money
supplied by the State only.
[ happen to know that the Station
is appealing to the General Assem-
bly, this year, as it appealed last year
and the year before for small ap-
preparation that would not only en-
able it to take up that highly impor-
tant experiment, but to do co-opera-
tive work with the farmers of the
State on their home places-dupli-
eating experiments conducted at the
Station in corn growing, in cotton
production, etc. The Station has
men especially equipped to carry out
the several experiments. Such work
belongs to the Station. Such work
is purely experimental, and that is
the mission that was assigned to the
Station.
1t is hoped that, in all fairness and
strict propriety, the members of the
Legislature will not overlook the
claims of the Station. The fact that
the Station has not been year by year
clamorous for money, more money,
should not be accepted as an argu-
ment against the reasonable appeal
it is now making. Let the Legisla-
ture give the Station $4,000 for
general experimental and co-opera-
tive purposes, or a smaller sum for
the hog cholera project, I will guar
antee serum for farmers in so days
from the date of receipt of the
money.
