Mr.. Watson's old friends in public

to Warrington they beseech him to
make the race.
Vice President Sherman, former

"Vicc President Sherman. former

Sure.
Well isn't that enough?
Are not the names Of Mr. Cannon
and MIR. Sherman potent enough in the
Sixth District to do business with?
Why should there be any hesitancy
In Mr.. Watson's announcement of his
candidacy!
Ia he waiting to see II Theodore
Roosevelt runs for the presidency-or
IL he like the rest of the Republican
politicians in this state waiting to see
whether Taft IL going to run again?
Surely with the popularity Of Mr..
Watson there should be no doubt in
his mind.
Once MIR. Roosevelt wrote a letter
for the use of the Republican Con.
Eressional committee which was ad-
dressed to Jim Watson Jim came
back that time. Also. once. he and Mr..
Taft ran on the same ticket--so per.

Mr.. Taft could help Jim Watson just

"Our Jim" hesitate?

Mr.. TAFT as the candidate for Presi

Others would like to see Hanly as a

Others would like to see Jim Wat

PASTOR is A MOONsHINER
Tennessee Preacher Who Had Still
in the Parsonage Is Arrested
by Revenue Officer.

NASHVILLE.-Rev Jos. R. Smith
of Sewanee was brought to Nashville
Sunday by Deputy United States
Marshal W. A. Gilmore and Deputy
Collector w. H. Tyler after having
been bound over to the April term
of the federal court on a charge of
making moonshine whiskey At the
preliminary trial Saturday Rev. Mr.
Smith pleaded guilty to the charge
Rev Mr.. Smith has for several
months been the regular pastor of
three small churches near Sewanee.
His wildcat still was located in the
smOkehOuse, a few yards from the
parsonage and less than quarter Of
mile from his principal church.
The outfit destroyed by the officers
was complete and nearly 100 gallons
of good beer and mash were found
The wild-catting parson was
caught only after an all-night chase.
He claims that he did not know it
was violation of the law to make
whiskey, but knew it was wrong to
drink it,
He also stated that he had never
sold any of his whiskey, but had
given some of it to a few of his
members for medical purposes.

HORSE STEALING IN NEW YORK
Such Crimes Are More Frequent in
the Metropolis Now Than in
the State Of Texas

HOUSTON, Tex-That the horse
and cattle thief who formerly oper-
ated at large in Texas is passing is
indicated by the recent report of the
chairman of the Texas penitentiary
system, which shows horse thefts in
New York city are more frequent
than in the entire state of Texas,
Moreover, the report indicates a
greater percentage of convictions of
horse thieves in Texas than in New
York city.
This reference in the report is
merely incidental, but is of more
than passing interest because of the
erroneous belief still prevalent in
some sections that horse thieves. six
shooters and other evidences of ear
~ frontier days still reign in Texas.
In comparing statistics on horse
thefts New York offered interesting
data, being the largest city in the
country. In New York horse thefts
generally are successful for the an
imal is stolen and disposed of before
the law is on the trail of the thief
In Texas the inroads of the majesty
OF the law have cut the ratio of this
department of crime below that of
the American metropolis.

TO FEED THE HANDY KID

spreading. Candy is more extensively
advertised than ever before. Grown
folks never think of being ashamed
of their candy-eating procliyities. In
dams down in the reservations eat
candy as ravenously as they once ate
roast puppy. 1t is second to water
melon in the opinion of the Ethio-
plan.
Hundreds and thousands of tons
are eaten every day. The market
varies but little in the summer and
spring months, but it gets a little
heavier along in the holiday season,
when everybody feels like he ought
to buy something and finally winds
up by purchasing some candy.
Lollipops for the penny trade
make up a great part of the candy
business in many localities, but it is
the box trade, the chocolate trade,
that counts most in the grand total
Candy is shipped by the train load
nd ship load, but the American miss
eats more candy than the maid of
any other nation.
Candy is one of the everyday lux
uries that keep the people poor. 1t

dren of all ranks in the social scale
buy candies by the penny's worth or
the dollars worth Plain sugar,
some extract of the cocoa bean or
some other favoring are fused to-
gether and straightway this mixture
becomes a thing that will coax mon
ey from the pockets of misers.
The candy factories buy sugar by
the train load and employ help by
the thousands. Machines, however,
now do much of the work that was
once done by the def fingers of the
candy dippers. The best candies are
still hand made. When you pay so,
so or so cents a pound for candies
you can gamble that you are getting
the pure handmade goods.
There is not so much profit in the
candy business after all, for the COM
petition between manufacturers is
keen, and the main thing in the
trade is to keep the train loads of
goods moving from the stewing pans
of the factory into the mouths of the
consumers.

7. WATSON AFTER v. WILSON
THE NOTED EDITOR ALSO GIVES
THOS. G. HUDSON A RAP.
Says Jersey Mans History Is Injus-
tice to South, and Agricultural
Department Political Machine.

department Political Machine.
Thomas E. Watson has declared
against Woodrow Wilson and in ia
vor of Underwood as the democratic
candidate for the presidential nomi-
nation.
Mr.. Watson attacks Wilson as
'st9nd pat Bourbon" whose interest,
he charges, were all with the corpor-
ations until he wanted high office.
Mr.. Watson condemns him because
he had not the courage to condemn
the Sherwood pension grab"
Mr.. Watson also criticises Wilson'S
History of the American People, and
alleges that in it he glorifed the
North and East, doing gross injustice
to the South and West.
Watson objects to him because he
says Wilson kow-tows to the Roman
hierarchy, and has a "Romanist'
for his private secretary. Watson
suggests that if Wilson were elected
president every secret of the state
would reach the ears of Rome
through the confessional.
Mr.. Watson is also expressing him
self vigorously on Georgia politics,
declaring that the state department
of agriculture under Thomas G. Hud-
son and Captain Bob Wright has
been nothing more than a political
machine.

HACKED HIMSELF TO PIECES
SIDNEY ALEXANDER SULLIVAN
OF AMERICUS A SUICIDE.
Began With Knife and Ended With
Razor, Letting Arm Bleed in
Bowl. Was Last of Family.

AMERICUS.-Sidney Alexander
Sullivan, chief delivery clerk at the
Americas postofice, literally hacked
himself to death Sunday afternoon
at his residence here in a determined
and successful effort to die. When
servant entered his bedroom at
o'clock Sullivan was lying behind the
bed, where he had fallen.
When physicians examined him
they discovered twelve knife thrusts
in regions of the breast Evidently
these did not produce the effect de-
sired, as, throwing away the knife
and securing razor, he deliberately
severed the radical artery in his left
wrist and calmly held it over a wash
bowl until weakened by loss of blood
he fell dead.
Continued i'll health induced the
deed. For two weeks he had kept
to his room, and Saturday, while con-
Versing with associates, told them
they would never see him alive again.
That he contemplated suicide is evil
denced in the fact that he recently
made his will and adjusted all bust
ness affairs
For twenty years he has been in
the United States postoffice, and was
highly esteemed socially and in COM
mercial circles, being Mason and a
Knight Templar, among other fra
ternity organizations. His tragic
death shocked the community.
Sullivan was 43 years old, unmar-
ried and the last surviving member
of his family.

TEXAS NEGRO'S INVENTIONS
Puts On the aMrket Two Novelties
Designed to Benefit the TRAY
ing Public.

HOUSTON, Tex.-Booker T.
Washington idea of what the
American negro of the future should
be is exemplitied in n E. Barnes of
Willis, Texas, negro who has in
vented two novelties designed to
benefit the travelling public. Both
inventions are indicators, one in
stalled in a train to mutely call the
stations, and the second a bulletin
board for stations describing move
ments of trains. Both devices are
declared practical.
The station indicator occupies the
same position in passenger coach
as the register in a street car. I'M
mediately upon leaving a station the
conductor punches a button which
automatically throws into position
the name of the next station This
the inventor declares will do away
with unintelligible bawl of a train
porter calling the name of station
which is lost in the roar of the
train.
The second device is an automatic
bulletin board for trains, showing
the scheduled time of arrival and if
late the minutes or hours behind
time. This contrivance is designed
to be manipulated by the station
agent or operator from his desk by
electricity.
Both inventions will be given a
trial and an interurban road out of
Houston may try the station signal
ing contrivance on a few of it's cars.

ANCIENT PANAMA TOWNS.
Will Be Buried Beneath the Rising
Waters of Lake Gatun.

Will Be Buried Beneath the Rising
Waters of Lake Gatun.
The ancient villages on the 18TH
mus of Panama which will be sub
merged next fall by the rising waters
of Lake Gatun are among the oldest
places on the continent, and one may
be pardoned for feeling regret at
heir disappearance. Some of them are
named in Esquemeling's history of
his piratical adventures under Nor
gan, and they were well known
points on the route from Spain to
Peru before jamestown was settled
or there was any talk of Pilgrim and
Puritan along the shores of Massa
chusetts Bay. Through these ham
let's passed the slave caravans bear
ing treasure to the Spanish fleets at
Fort Lorenzo, Porto Bello or Nombre
de Dios. After a long siesta they
became again animated by the gold
seekers of 40, and 40 years later by
the people engaged on the French
canal project.
So they have seen important
things that have been powerful in
fuences in the worlds history, and,
let us hope, the most important is
the present work which will shortly
bury them beneath the waters of the
worlds greatest artificial lake. When
one reflects on the crime and anguish
along this old trade route in the days
of the yellow and red flag, when one
recalls the scandals of the de Lesseps
days, and when one sees the good ma
ture and enthusiasm of the men
working there now under the Stars
and Stripes on an undertaking of
worldwide benefit he will agree
that these ancient villages have wit
messed radical changes.
