Gus to the selection OF Scott. az
though many think 50. ii is SO far
beyond that event in It's barefaced
fdolatry to the money power that
the cases are not in the same class.
and we call attention to the we'll
known facts In each of the cases %
supstantiate this declaration.
Scott was recognized as a rich
man. He began as penniless boy
and made his way handicapped by
the Disadvantages incident to poy7
erty. Watson is the son of a rich
man. and inherited both his posi-
ton In business and the opportunity
to build up his fortune.
Scott served his city in public ca
pacitles; he had experience covering
years in both branches OF the legls-
iature Of his state; he was at the
head of one Of the important de-
partments of the national govern
ment.
Watson has not one minute Of
service or experience in public ca
pacity.
Scott, whatever else may lbe said,
was a loyal member Of his party
He served on its committees in
county, state and nationwide capac.
titles.
I Watson, since the nomination OIL
Bryan in 1896, it is declared by
many. and as far as we have seen
not denied. voted the Republican
ticket, and took no interest in Dem.
ocratIc affairs until the election lasi
fal.
Watson has exhibited no charac'
terlstics or qualifications or talents
recommending him for such an i'm,
portant position. There are thous
ands of young men Il. West Virginia
thousands we feel safe in declaring
in southern West Virginia, who arc
as we'll qualified as he. Then why
did a great party look over and be-
yond these men, to say nothing Of
those who have fought and toilet
for triumph of their principles
who have been loyal aadl true, ant
had the courage of their Convictions
even through the years OF regularly
recurring defeats? It matters no
what his lips may frame. there car
he only one answer in the heart o.
every man, and that is that Wat
sons money won for its possessol
a senatorship. He had no claim tc
experience: no claim to promotion
because OF service rendered; nc
claim on party loyalty; no claim by
reason of marked ability.
His inherited interest in coal de.
veiopment; his ownership of race
horses; his connection with the
trusts, did not make him eligible
and did not fit him for his duties.
Gainsay 1t who can. deny 1t who
may, the fact remains that proto.
type of William A. Clark without
the Clark ability, has, Lorlmer-like
wrested from a party on trial for Its
political life, a toga that rightfulls
belongs to real Democrat.

Walton on the Tariff.

Senator Watson has evidently
been misquoted as to his position on
the tariff question. Within two
weeks he has been placed in contrary
ATTITUDES on this great public ques-
ton.
1t is recalled that Senator Bland
of this state submitted a number OF
queat.ons to him Just before the
Democratic senatorial caucus at
/ Charleston. which he appears TO
have answered frankly. Senator
BANDS questions and Senator Wat
sons answers on this subject were
as follows, according to newspaper
report:
DO you favor a tariff for revenue
Only2"
NO
DO you favor tariff for revenue
with incidental projections
NO"
DO you favor a tarir for pro
lection limiting the amount thereof
to the difference of cost OF produc-
tion at home and abroad?"
Yes"
''1f you favor protective tariff in
any form, for whose benefit. the
American laborer or the American
producer?"
Both are benefited"
These questions and answers
place Mr.. Watson at variance with
his party on this question as shown
by its last national platform, and II
This answers were correctly reported,
he is, therefore, incorrectly quoted
in Baltimore dispatch dated Feb
ruary 4, in which he is made to say
the following:
Upon the broad principle of q
revision of the tariff downward !
am also a Democrat and endorse the
declarations of my party
The Democratic party in its last
national platform took a stand as
shown by the following taken from
the platform:
"Grdduate reductions should be
made in such other schedules as
may be necessary to restore the tar
if to revenue bass"
Notwithstanding the fact that the
national platform declares for a
tariff on revenue basis, Mr.. Watson
to the Bland questions declared
that he was against that kind of q
tariff. He goes further by saying
he does no want incidental protec-
ton hut a higher protection as
shown by his next answer. when he
declares or a protection covering
the difference of cost of production
at home and abroad.
AS shown by newspaper reports
Mr. Watson is not the same in
Charleston on the tariff as he il IN
baltimore. He can not have beer
correctly quoted at both places, un.
less the variance is his. At Charles
ton he is protectionist and at Bal.
timore he is free trader.

SECOND CROP OF
IRISH POTATyES
MAKES GOOD YIELO
INDICATIONS ARE THAT AVER.
AGE WILL BE ABOUT TWEEN
TY.FIVE BARRELS.
Dealers Are Offering $175 Per 5srres
About Half of the Price of the First
Crop-Value Of Crop of County wiz
-e About $4,000.

New crop Of Irish potatoes are bs.
ginning to come on the market ana
before the end OF another week it in
expected that hundreds of barrels viii
have been shipped. So far very few
have come to the Columbia dealers
but they ale expecting -rade to be-
brisk in them in a few days.
The crop in spite of the drouth DUR
ing September, is reported to be a
good one and the yeild was estimated
today by one of the best judges and
most experienced buyers in the coun-
ty, at twenty y-fye barrels to the acre.
This will he more than twice the av-
erage yield on the first crop. How
ever, the profits viii not necessarily
be twice as great for the price IS only
about half what ii was for the first
crop.
Dealers are offering only $175 per
barrel and may farmers are hesitat-
ing about selling at that price. They
are inclined TO hold for So per bar
rel. This appears to be the decision
of large number of farmers in the
Glendale and Culleoka sectionss
where a large portion of the crop OF
the county is grown.
At twenty-five barrels to the acre.
even at the low price of $1.75 per bar
rel, the yield will be nearly forty
five dollars an acre, considered a pref
ty good return for any crop. There
between 1000 and 5000 acres In po-
tatoes in the county, probably the lat
ter figure would be conservative es-
innate and c. fifty dollars an acre. tho
value of the crop of the county would
approximate $15O,0OO.

Cost Of Having the Tick.

Texas fever ticks brought here by
Western horses, in the opinion of
John 7. Akin, county live stock in
spector, have been found on several
farms in the neighborhood OF Mt
Pleasant. Inspector Akin has spent
several days in the infected district
and has found seven farms with the
ticks and is continuing the inyesti-
cation. 1t is probable that he may
find other farms infected,
As soon as Mr.. Akin locates the
ticks he has the farms closely quar-
antined and directs that the WORK OF
the determination Of the ticks begin
at once. j is very important that
every prec Dtion taken by the inspec-
! tor should be closely followed ioi il
the ticks should once get a foo.hold
among the cattle of Maury county ire
parable damage would be done,
| , 1t is only through the importation
| of western horses from sections where
the Texas tick is known that Mr.
Akin can account for the presence Of
ticks among the cattle in the sections
through which he has been. These
horses were turned on pastures with
the cattle ard the result has been that
Mr.. Akin found several head of the
cattle on the farms mentioned witt
ticks on them. He will visit every
farm where there is reason to believe
that any stock on it has been exposed
to the infection.
The Texas fever has proven a grea
source of Loss to sections where It hal
existed. In counties of Tennessee ant
the States South where a quarantine
has been enforced by the federal gov
iernment the price OF cattle has beel
from twenty-five to fifty per cent les
than it has been above the line.

HORSELESS AGE
LY A MYTH
ONE HORSE TO EVERY THREE
INDIVIDUALS IN THE UNIT
ED STATES.

NEW YORK, Oct 25.-With the in
! PRODUCTION of the automobile, the tax
icab and the motor truck a great deal
was said and written about the i'm
bending doom Of the horse and the
approach CO the "horseless age" In
accordance with the natural law gov
erning the survival of the fittest, it
looked as if the horse had almost out
lived it's usefulness and soon would be
practically extinct. But according to
the Harness World, there are more
than twice as many horses in the
United States as there were in 1900,
the very year that the motor driven
vehicle began to demonstrate its in
dependence of the horse.
According to the latest statistics
there are more than 100000 horses
one horse TO every three inhabi
tants in the United States. Their to-
tai valuation in round figures is three
billion dollars. In 1900 there were
14.OOO, 900 horses in this country, with
an average value of s4461 each, 81 to-
tai valuation Of s625,OOO,OoO. In 1909
there were 3O,OOOOOO horses, average
value sos GA each.
II is interesting to note that the
horse makes and maintains the mar
ket fer nearly all the oat crop, worth
1884 .0OO,0 most of the hay crop,
worth s74s,OO0,0OO, and large part
of the corn crop, worth s1,377,OoO.0O0.
If we also consider the horse equip
wagons, harness,
clothing, brides, shoes and bits, prf- /
vate stables, blacksmith shops and |
horse repositories, 1t will be readily
understood that the horse creates bus
ness interests ranking with the rail-
-oads and agriculture and other col
,ssal affairs OF the country. :.
