lieans d score of years, and which
 probably will be regained by the Re publieans in 1912. The Democrat.
 who were thus flung into office were
 new men, who did not expect election, and some of whom would have failed of nomination had the rank and file of the Democracy looked for victory at the polls.
 To give ehairmanships to these new
 Northern and Western congressman
 would have been folly for the Demo erats, and would have been an inius- tice to the Southern veterans who. in the minority, have been fighting their party's battles for many years. The brains as well as the bulk of the Democratic party are in the South.
 Usually the number of Northern and
 Western Democrats in the house is
 so small that they are unable to fur
 nish single member for the tail
 end of the important committees
 Outside of New York City the North ern Democratic congressman nave gen erally been only eorporal's guard.
 In the average years a Northern Democratic member of the house is so scarce that he is a curiosity on the streets. -.-.
 For more than half century the Democracy has been a sectional party. It dropped out of power in the North and West just as soon as the Repub- lican party appeared. Buchanan, the last of the Democratic presidents ex- eept Cleveland, carried only five of the free states Fremont won all the rest of them. and the Republican party. was then only a year or two old Lincoln carried every free state except New Jersey, and he obtained four out of that states seven electOr- al. votes. If the Democratic party were deprived of its Southern strength it would drop to the level of the Pro hibitionists or Socialists. When the Democrats call the Republican sec ton party they east a stigman on their own organization. If the ballot were as free in the South as it is in the rest of the country the Republic ans would carry several of the states ir Dixie in three out of every four elections This is the only thing that makes the Republican party sec tional. But the Democratic party is sectional because it closes the ballot box against the Republicans in the South, and because it is repudiated in the North and West. .

THE JEFFERSONIAN
FROM A LOYAL OLD FRIEND

Dear Mr.. Watson: Allow one who
has lived to see your cause for the
common people being advocated by
both old parties; or, in other words,
men in both old parties. | was with
you in the nineties, loved the cause
you espOused and when myself and
Marion Bowers, of ROyston, erected
little place on my place for you to
speak from, then and there | learned
to love you as one man can love an
other. Myself and wife were just
talking about you and I was reading
from your magazine and my wife
said, 81 wish | could write him let
ter just to suit my feelings, how
much [ think of him and how I be-
lieve in his writings" Said I, we'll
write him. She said you write him
and tell him | hope to see and hear
him speak again. We both hope and
trust that your life will be spared.
Somehow | have faith in the supreme
Watchfulness of your Guardian Angel.
Oh, could l but be where I could help
defend you if need be. Yes, l sure
have reached the place and a great
many Of the old Pops 1 talk to have
also reached the place, if nothing will
do but force, we are ready. [ feel
alarmed at the spirit being so COM
mon in the old-line boys. 1t makes
me feel like a revolution is not far
away. This rule or ruin mode has
awakened all of the best people.
May God bless you abundantly-

thee and deliver thee from those that
would harm you. Kindest regards.

TWO OF THE JEFFS' FRIENDS
DEAD.

Dear Sir: The deaths of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. 0. DeJournette, which we
saw you had mentioned in The JEFF,
made us feel very sad in this section.
Mr.. DeJournette had long been a
reader of your writings.
He was born Sept. %, 1914, in Ca
barras county, North Carolina, and
was in his 9Th year. He was in the
Southern army, joining the 57th Reg
iment of North Carolina at the age Of
IS years and served through the war
until the surrender. After the war
he moved to Mississippi, living there
until about six years ago, when he
moved to Tennessee, near Spring
elk. He was my nearest neighbOr
and | can say that he was an upright
man in every sense of the word, and
one who made friends wherever he
went. Politically, he was a Third
Party man and convinced every one
in his ideas as to you and about what
your aim was. He convinced me on
all matters, UNFOLDING your methods,
therefore | learned to have the best
of respect for him. 1t was very sad
to his eighbors-he dying one day
and his wife the next. Two daugh-
tiers and two sons were bereaved by
this double loss.
We all admire you for the stand
you take on live matters.
Your admirer

did some good preaching. He couldn't
go only from Monday night to Thurs
day evening without bringing in the
mission question in order to lambast
your pure name and character. He
did it in the most Notwithstanding
spirit.
He came at you in this way: He
said to the congregation, you know
there has been an attack made on
missionaries. great deal has been
said OF late in Georgia; that what had
been said and written was false, mis-
leading and rotten, and that it was
gotten up by one that was used to
the devil, liar, unreliable, ignorant
and was a spitfre of the devil, and
was one Of him. He compared the
sp1tflre to fire-cracker-it was full
OF explosives stick match to it,
it would explode, flash and sparkle in
every direction; having nothing to
direct and there was nothing behind
it or in it only the noise and sparks.
He also said that he measured a
Christian by dollars and cents-that
was the only safe standard to be gov
erned by. So [ didn't hear him
preach any more.
1t looks like to me that there is
something that the fellow wanted to
say, but rather have someone
to say it for him, SO he would
have gap to run out. That's the
way it looks to me in this case, as
our brother, B. L. Ragsdale, has as
little use for you as any of the high
cOckOlOrams, for he has said that all
Of your sayings and writings are rot
ten to the core on missions. So an
other, Rev. r. F. Smith, of this place,
a brother Baptist, loves to pitchfork
you in the back every opportunity he
has. [ thought I would write this to
you to let you know that I am with
you. You are the only one that has
pushed the mission curtain aside and
turned in the light. [ hope the Lord
will spare and protect you in your
great work.

poultry. From 40 to 60 eggs year

casses weighed from two and a half
to three pounds, and most of that was
bone and offal. Now there are more
than a hundred varieties, all better
egg producers and better market
poultry than were known prior to the
compilation of the standard. The
standard descriptions have guided
fanciers to the creation of the great
ket poultry, and there is not on rec
ord today. nor is there likely to be, an
egg-laying record made by any fowl

extraordinary effort is made. market

can profit from the keeping of any
kind of fowls except one of the stand

carefully he has followed the dictates
of the standard the more successful
he will be in making a profit from
them. The largest egg farms, the
largest market-poultry farms. the
largest egg producers and largest

1908 a trial was made in the use
of small and large seed. 1t was found
for that year that when large tubers
were planted (using about 80 bushels
of seed per acre. the value per acre
of the crop. less the cost of seed, was
about twice as large as was the value
of the crop when small tubers were
used for seed. planted at the rate OF
about bushels per acre.
The same experiment was repeated
in 1909. The large tubers used for
seed were very large. and many OF
the small tubers were large enough
for cooking. third plat was planted
as check plat. using cut pieces for
seed.
The tubers we're valued at thirty
cents per bushel at planting time, and
at one dollar per bushel at digging
time. The spring price was the very
highest obtainable, while in the fall
potatoes were being retailed at $1.50
per bushel. For conditions of 1910
the very large amount of seed used
is seen to be justified. No allowance
is made for the increased cost OF
planting OF for the increased cost OF
