CARD FROM GORDON Gill;
LESPIE..

On the front page of this issue
of The Commonwealth will be
found a few reaso.s published as
to why | solicit your vote and its
influence to give me a full term as
county prosecuting attorney.
l have made a pretty thorough
canvass, but there are a few that
| have failed to get to see on my
trips, and take this method of
appealing to all in endeavoring to
have endorsement of my admins
tration of the past sixteen months.
With two of my opponents ap-
plicants for the office when it was
created by the Legislature, | was
the successful one, and ever since
| assumed the duties of my office,
| made known my intentions o.
aspiring for a full term.
l have made a clean campaign
from start to finish, have indulg-
ed in no persona tiles, and am not
running on the dement's of my
three friends, for they are all
splendid young men; merely as
serting that l did not think it in
accordance with the time-honored
democratic principle to GUST a man
from an office, especially when he
was appointed and had only held
it for sixteen months, unless you
could replace him with a better
qualified man.
am running on my record as
want it endorsed, while my friends
have nothing but promises to Of
fer. promise no change in my
ideas, but hope to improve with
every case. Your vote if given to
me, will be more than du appre-
ciated, and | promise to continue
to conduct the office along the
same lines striving to reflect cred.
it upon the county and myself.
Again asking for a consideration
Of the claims asserted upon the
front page of this issue Of The
Commonwealth.
Respectfully,
GORDON GILLESPIE.

THE WEATHER AND THE
CROPS,


The past week has developed rather
too great a rainfall over the major
portion of the cotton belt, although
there have not been wanting indi-
cations that the shower have been
less heavy and that the end of the
raing spell is at hand. Texas and
Or ahoma. where drought prevailed
rs recently. have experienced
Gus rains, winch have dan~
IF 4au accoru1ng TO all
, IS, the cos...an crop il the vest
ern section of the belt is. now max.
ing fine progress and promises a big
yield.
There have been many complaints
of too much rain in the central
p ,rtion of the belt, particularly in
t le Mississippi Valley, but it is
very doubtful if much harm has
actually been done. The rains have
caused the cotton plant to grow
.luxurianty at the expense of fruit
ing, and there has been some she'd
ding and a renudescence of the boil
weevil pest; but a SPELL of dry hot,
weather would in all probability
soon put matter to right and insure
a good yield, even in such states as
Mississippi and Louisan,.
In the eastern belt there has also
been rather too much rain but, on
the whole, the crop is in promising
condition., particularly in Alabama
and Georgia. Dry, warm weather
is now desirable all over the belt,
SO IS to mature the crop aud permit
the inauguration of picking in the
earlier sections. Picking and mar
keting are progressing rapidly in
south Texas, and the receipts of new
cotton at Texas points are heavier
tl.n probably ever before known,
at this time of the season.
The weather has been recently !
favorable for the corn crop, which
Is how making reasonable progress, |
although it is not proable that the
yield will bA as large as was promis-
Ell before the dro, tn of Ju.e. In
t e rice section the crop is matnr-
i.g rapidly aud farmers would
wescome a period Of dry weather to
9 iable them to drain their field and
put thing in shape for the harvest
s. a>on.
In the sugar section there has
been rather too much rain, which
has permitted fields to become /
grassy. The cano crop is, however,
grow ing luxuliantly, aud provided
the rains cease In the near future.
there is every reason to look forward
to a large yield. The GRIP is more
at this Ieried of the
8 ason than has been the case for
years.

Great Powers Believe They Can

Berlin oct. IA prominent inancier
Of Berlin. who refused to allow his name
to be used, but whose eminent position
in the banking world, intimate acquaint-
ancc with Turkey and experience in
questions OF colonial policy give his
opinion weight, is one of those who holds
the theory that a great secret movement
against the present Turkish government
nay he quietly going on among the
aroused people OF Turkey, and that the
real danger is in the Balkan situation.
He states that this is the opinion of
Germans i'm close touch with Turkish
affairs.
II am convinced" he added day. "on
the strength Of my own information that
the great powers without exception are
sincerely striving TO locaize the war and
hasten It's termination. German finan-
ciers who are interested i'm the affairs Of
the Orient are inclined to believe that
they viii succeed. at least to the extent
Of holding the minor Balkan powers in
check. The Turkish forces in Tripoli
are much smaller than is generally sup
posed and Italy should be able to get a
fairly firm foothold there within few
weeks Then the powers probably will
try to arrange peace on the basis Of a
cash indemnity To Turkey --

The ex- Premier considers, unless an ar

ment should be assembled and the Cabi-

SAYS SENATE SHOULD RATlFY
The "Matin" Gives French Opin-
ion on Arbitration Treaties.
LEV Cable 10 Tho Tribune.

Paris. oct. THE "Matin" yesterday
expressed forcibly what appears to be
the general opinion in France of the
faction IN the United states Senate OPP
posing the confirmation Of the proposed
arbitration treaties.
President Taft and Secretary Knox
says the "Matin," ARE working for the
treaty. which, with the help of the
French Minister of Foreign Affairs, they
have admirably drawn up, but certain
members Of the United states Senate,
having an imperfect understanding OF
the American governments response
bility toward other nations, purpose to
reject it for local reasons, in which
France. which has acted in good faith
throughout the negotiations, sees moth
ing and has no interest.
IF the United States Senate insists on
rejecting treaties which have been stud
led with so much care, and which are so
important to the security not only Of the
two signatory powers but Of the entire
world. it VIII weaken the American gov
eminent and place II in an unenviable
position. All that prestige which 1t
would be able to acquire as the cham
pion of arbitration treaties will be lost
and even its good faith will he ques-
toned.
Thus it appears that a moral obliga-
ton of the highest international i'm
portance requires that the Senate should
rstify as soon as possible a treaty from
which all humanity will benefit

HISTORY TOLD BY COSTUMES
Rare English Relics Almost Fall Into
New Workers Hands.

London. Sept So.-Among the exhibits for
the new London Museum classified last
month was the historical costume collec-
ton which almost fell into the hands Of
the Metropolitan Museum. of New York.
This magnificent exhibit has for its nucleus
the splendid Seymour Lucas collection, for
which the authorities OF the American in
stitution had been negotiating. The series
comprises three or four hundred costumes
dating from the fourteenth century to the
present day.
Among the costumes are the coronation
robes OF five sovereigns-Queen Victoria,
Queen Alexandra. Queen Mary. King Ed
ward VII and George V. The Elizabethan
and Jacobean periods are marked by ex-
ouiste costumes. and the commonwealth
is recalled BY number of beautiful silver
embroidered leather coats.
The classifying is being done by Guy
Laking, the Kings armorer, at Kensington
Palace. I'm the room IN which queen Anne
died. II IS said that the Queen died from
smallpox, and the classifers are hoping
that all the germs have died from old age.
The centrepiece of the new museum, which
was the idea Of King George and for which
he has granted the use OF Kensinston Pal
ace, is part of a Roman galley. the only
remains of these ancient ships known 10
exist. The remains were found under sew
oral feet OF Thames mud when excavations
were made for the new County Council hall.
The timbers are of oak, which had swollen
Immensely from centuries Of immersion in
the mud. but which shrunk when exposed
10 the air. II is expected that the King
will open the museum in October.
