The shortest verse n the Holy Scrip
ture tells us how keenly He felt the
death of Lazarus: "And Jesus
wept." and so it has ever been.
Day by day we see deaths visit,
Friends and loved ones pass away.
Gone, we trust, to fairer regions,
Where there reigns Eternal Day;
And our hearts are ever longing
For that moment, by thy grace,
When with them the veil uplifted,
We shall see God face to face.

is THIS A FAKE AND A sWINDLE?

Dear Mr.. Watson: There is a COM
pany who represent themselves to be
a sales company for planters regis
ters. They are now operating in vari-
GUS sections of Georgia. They send
sell the registers and issue coupons,
to be redeemed by merchants when
the buyer of register has traded a
certain sum with the said merchant.
They sell the register at $3.50. When
they have sold few books they tell
everybody that they are selling hun
dreds per day and making fabulous
sums of money. Then they offer to
sell contracts of stock in the company
for 5000 to $500. When they have
caught quite number in each town
they pull up and disappear 1t is re-
ported that they have no charter and
the stock is therefore worthless. They
claim to have been incorporated
either at Rockmart or Rome, Ga. If
it is true that the stock is worthless
or that they are not incorporated,
then those who are being victimized,
or will be, should be warned.
Knowing you to be a genuine
friend of the farmer and not afraid
to expose frauds of any kind, we
write to let you know this so you can
make such investigations as you see
proper and publish the fraud, if you
find it to be such after investigation
Yours very respectfully,
Royston, Ga. SKEPTICAL.

THE TOM WATSON WATERMELON

My Dear Mr.. Watson: l am con-
tinually in touch with your every ut
terance, but | sometimes feel that [
ought at least worry you with a line
or so to let you know that I am
deeply interested in your work. SO
this morning | saw the beautiful cut
reproduced from a painting of the
now famous 'Tom Watson Melon"
SO I cut it out and am sending it to
you under separate cover.
This melon has many of the char
acteristics of it's namesake. It's rind
is wonderfully resistant, and when
you penetrate it you find a sweet,
juicy, red-blOOd heart. Its vine is Wig
orous, covering lots of ground and
sending down deep roots, which give
it moisture, allowing it to live while
others perish. It fourishes in Gods
bright sunshine best, but it with
stands the cloud and storm and hail
better than most any melon I have
ever tried. When you "cruelly stab"
it with the knife, you find all of it to
be heart, and it makes you feel sor-
rowful that so beautiful a thing in
nature should be destroyed to satisfy
the human appetite.
With kindest regards and best
wishes, I am, Sincerely yours,
VIM. SCHLEY HOWARD.

that will keep them in power, or their
hands in the public treasury why
should we be surprised that they
trade and decker for popular support
at the expense of the people and
their nOblest institutions?
No reform party can ignore this
insolent and greedy organization
without laying itself under the sus-
picion of being a silent efficient part
ner with it in the deep and damn
able scheme to subvert the liberties
of America.
Noble, patriotic and clear-slghted
Americans have for seventy years
warned their countrymen against
the designs and deep-laid plots of
the Roman Catholic Priesthood.
The Jesuits, who are the backbone
of that organization in this country,
are moving heaven and earth to
achieve their darling object. that of
bringing the proud American nation
to the feet of the Pope of Rome, a.
foreigner despot and enemy Of man
kind. EZRA j. WEAVER.

A Fool and His Folly.
Editor of The Record:

A Fool and His Folly.
Editor of The Record:
[ would expect a schoolboy of
twelve to get up better argument
than you do in the editorial from
''The Record" of today, headed,
Pennsylvania Democrats
You say the Republican party can
not shake off the control of it's worst
elements. Well a good DEAF of
it's best elements shook themselves
off, but they didn't stop at the
Donkey stable; they kept on to the
Keystone party; and the "Donkeys"
prevented real opposition party
from winning in Pennsylvania.
You speak of the ''solidity" of the
Democratic party in the other States.
Ha! That was the work of the bet
ter elements of the Republican party,
also. Any old hulk Of a party could
win" in that event. But what is
the Democratic party doing in New
York now? The Roman political ma
chine, known as Tammany Hall, has
it by the throat. That's the matter
with the Republican party.
Can these two old fools shake off
the Roman Catholic monster?
And if this is published it will be
the first of it's kind | ever saw in the
columns of 1.-THE Record" and I have
been a reader for fifteen years.
Yours forever, EZRA J. WEAVER.
I answered Mr.. Mann and sent
a copy of it to the editor of the Phila-
delphia Record, as follows:
Editor of The Record:
Following is a letter written to
one Of your readers who had written
me, commencing my article published
in a recent issue of your paper, and
asking for information. In fairness,
you should publish it. Yours forever
EZRA J. WEAVER.

To Arthur B. Mann. Condersport. Pa
Dear Sir: Yours of the 26th to
hand. AS to the Roman Catholic
Monster, I mean the Roman polit-
ical machine, which is run by Jesuits
and Priests for the express and I'LL
innate purpose of placing the Rom
ish Church in the seat of supreme
power in our country. 1t is all the
more dangerous to our institutions
and peace, because operating under
a religious mask and presuming upon
the Indifference and good nature of
the large body of American citizens.
The old political parties, which have
for years been run by self-seeking,
time-serving bosses and controlled
by the money bags of Wall Street
have WelI-nigh sold our country to
the Roman Hierarchy in return for
the "CathO1ic Vote We all know
that these "bosses'' have no con-
scientious scruples about anything

 F-r. considering he annoyance thai has been caused this year by the delay in rcmaciug fhc bridge there can be no doub1 the only rca- sonable solution of the difficulty is the installation ot q perman III structure Such bridge should un- daubtcdly be built here by the United States goycrnmcnr And if it were gone after properly there is little doubt the necessary aPpro- priation could he obrained.
 Up 10 the present time there has been much contention a. '. the par ticular location of any permanent bridge. me wanting il ar Turner street and others insisting rhar it 20 in as far mp a. Lacey street. r is believed. however. that these dis asreemnn's could he settled tthis time once for all and a site agreed on. if there were meeting held for the purpose This mus, be dane before any congressional action would be taken. as the war department would not put in bridge in
 face of objections from any persons further up stream 10 the effect that navigable river was being ob- SrrGcted. In case. however. all agreed on the site it is entirely probable an appropriation could be secured in time to permit of the bridge being built by next summer.
 Such bridge as would answer the purpose would cost a very large sum of money. and the idea Cf getting this by subscription ar this time is out of the ques- lion. But the government has built dozens of bridges at far greater cost in places where they were of not nearly so much Use. and there is no reason why il sh ,uld not just as well build one here now as later For. sooner CT later, the business between Fairbanks and the creeks will be of such importance and mag nitude that delays like that occa- stoned this year will be intolerable
