WATSON SAYS MORGAN CON-
TROLLED ROOSEVELT

Hon. Thos. E. Watson, of Georgia
telegraphed the following article tt
the New Work World and it was
given CONSPICUOUS place in that
newspaper.
stopping the panic of 1907 reminds
me:
First-That in 1893 the government
of Great BrIian during a panic, is
sued exchequer bills. The effect was
magical. Only 100000 lbs. of this
currency, less than ,$12,OO0,00O. was
necessary to put an end to the panic,
which had been precipated by the
Bank of England's contraction of the
circulating medium.
Secondhand in 1926 the Bank of
England caused another panic by con-
tracing the currency, and suddenly
stopped it by reversing it's policy and
issuing 100000, lbs. less than $685.
0uO,00O.
Third-That our government stopp-
ed the panic of 1873 by issuing $780,
100000 of greenbacks by authority
of the acts of congress in 1862 and
1863.
Fourth-That under those laws
President Roosevelt could have is
$1O4,O00,000 in greenbacks. The
bare threat to do this would nave
caused Wall street to stop the panic
by turning loose the boarded Mons.
Fifth-That when President Roose-
welt, in violation of law, sanctioned
the gobbiing up of the Tennessee
Coal and Iron Company he knew that
there was legal method by which
Ell could check the panic, for the law
and the precedents had been brought
to his attention. But the Morgan in
terests, which ran Cleveland's second
administration, ran Mr.. Roosevelts
just as they are now running that of
Mr.. Taft. Law and oaths of office
are frail barriers when they get in
the way of the Morgan interests.

FIVE THOUSAND ACRES BEING
SET TO PECANS

The people of Tallahassee and Leor
county have had but small concep
ton of the great work that is being
done by the Florida Pecan Develop
ment Company in the development oil
the material resources of this section
In the spring of 1909, just a little
more than two years ago, it purchas
ed eleven hundred acres of land from
George w. Saxon and began to Offer
it in five-acre tracts, set to pecans
Within eighteen months it had solo
every one of these tracts to greatly
interested people in all sections of the
country, and the further purchase oil
property was necessary if the bust
ness be continued.
Last week the True Democrat re
corded the additional purchase OF
fourteen hundred acres, but further
information reveals the fact that the
company has acquired in ell ave
th@lsand acres, and is proceeding to
develop it in the same wise and sys
tematic way as characterized the dis
position of the first purchase.
Five thousand acres, divided into
tracts of five acres each. make one
thousand additional families interest
ed in Leon county soil and Leon coun
ty progress.
This company is capitalized by
some of the wealthiest and most pro
gressive men in the country, mer
who are not only able but who take
pride in carrying out the full purpose
OF their organization. In doing exact
ly as they promise they gain public
confidence, and this in turn begets
greater confidence among the thous
ands in the eastern and western
states who are eager to acquire a
certain source of revenue in the Par
adise of America. In the course oil
a few years, when their trees begin
to be laden with nuts the purchasers
can come down, spend the winters ON
the tracts with their families, and
spend the entire season in profitable
and healthful nut hunting.
There is no form of agricultural
pursuit that promises as abundant re-
turns as pecan growing in the "old
red hills of Leon
Within ten years these five thous-
and acres should have grown to fifty
thousand, and Tallahassee be ship.

THE WoMANs STUDY CLASS OF
BURBANK

| On the afternoon of August 9th the
woman's study class met at the pref.
ty new home of Mrs. MacManus. This
being the last meeting with Mrs. Ver-
denius, secretary of the club, a spe-
cial program was arranged.
After reading the minutes of the
! previous meeting the members re-
sponded to roll call with quotations
from favorite authors.
Mrs. Verdenius rendered her resig-
nation as secretary of the club, but
wished to be retained as a member.
The regular program was dispensed
with, and a literary game, arranged
by the president, was much enjoyed by
all.
A luncheon was then served by the
club, Mrs. Verdenius being the guest
of honor Plates were laid for elev-
en-, some members being absent on
account of sickness and some having
gone north for the summer The
place cards We're in the form of tiny
books, and on the inside were written
quotations appropriate to the occa-
sion.
At the close of the luncheon hour
Mrs. Bowen, one of the bright mem
bers of the club, read a short poem
that she had written in honor of Mrs.
Verdenius.
The president of the club, Mrs.
Chaffee, in neat little speech spoke
of the loss the club would sustain,
and how they would miss the cheer
full face and helpful suggestions of
Mrs. Verdenius at their future meet
ings. And lest she forget her one
time affiliation with the club. the
president, in behalf of the woman's
study club, presented Mrs. Verdenius
boook, ITO Love and to Cherish"
by the author of Aunt Jane of Ken
lucky" from which latter book
chapter had been read now and then
in the club meetings and greatly en-
joyed.
Mrs. Verdenius responded in the
charming manner all her own, ending
with Eugene Fields beautiful poem,
Good Bye and God Bless YOU
Mrs. Verdenius was one of the
charter members of the woman's
study club, and has been an active
member and a fine secretary. She is
woman of great ability. Her life
in Burbank has been an inspiration
for good to all who came under her
influence, and her place will be hard
to fill.
This meeting of the woman's study
club will be remembered as one of
the most enjoyable, yet sad, meetings
in the history of the club.

HOW TO SAVE THE CORN CROP

Sam Jordan, corn expert, in the en-
play of the Missouri State Board of
Agriculture, known in every Missouri
corn county as a farmers institute
lecturer, has issued this statement to
corn growers:
Boy, don't give up the ship. A
serious drouth threatens u.s. All that
can be done is frequent, persistent,
shallow, level cultivation. Once a
week, if possible, make dust mulch.
These things done may mean a crop
with very little rain. Neglect it and
with little rain it means sure failure.
Missouri corn growers can put across
a crop with very little rain by borrow
ing dry-farming methods You must
act Keep the cultivators going in
the dust.
After a shower crust forms on
the ground. In this crust are thous-
ands of little cracks that are like
chimneys to let the water out of the
soil into the air. From a soil with
reasonable moisture about 126 tons
of water per acre evaporate in one
week of dry. hot, windy weather.
Shallow, frequent cultivation stops
this.
Get busy, keep busy, save the
corn. Sit and wait for the rain, and
you lose''
Here is what President Worst of
the North Dakota Agricultural Col
lege says:
If were to come onto your farm
and set $50 teams to work for a week
hauling water onto a quarter section
at the rate of four tons a day. | would
then only put on as much water as
evaporates in week when there is a
good moisture content in the soil. A
thorough narrowing will stop this
evaporation and save that amount of
water"

The velvet checked rose she haC
gathered that day.
She laughed-hut her fingers stayed

And her dark curl, it lay fragrant

And twas pinned on his coat when
he went on his way!
She laughed when he asked for the
heart in her breast,
The heart she had guarded from
friends and from foes.

trust you?" she said.
But he looked in her eyes, and her
secret he read,
And she gave him her heart-as
she gave him her rose.
