THE eyEFFERSONHAN
WHY CAN'T THE FARMER HOLD
HIS COTTON, IF THE BEEF
TRUST CAN ''COLD STORAGE
AND HOLD BEEF?


Dear Sir: We appreciate very
much Mr. Watsen's interest in the
Corporation and his kind expressions
with reference to Mr.. Wadley and
the good work he is endeavoring to
accomplish.
Mr.. Wadley has been, and is,
farmer himself and he knows init
mately the trials and tribulations of
the agriculturist. His inspiration
fer this work came by his observa-
ton Of the practices against the cot
ton farmer
If the Armour's and the Swift's
can cut off the heads of ten thous-
and beef cattle and put them on cold
storage for six years, holding them
for profit:
If the Western wheat and corn
growers can raise their products in
competition against the entire world
and take chances against the weevil
and decay-it does seem to US that
our monopoly of the cotton lands
and having product that will
keep" Indefinitely without deterio-
ration and without expense, further
than the money involved in it's value,
should enable us, as Southern people
with courage, intellect and ingenuity,
to prevent the sale and sacrifice of
our cotton within three months
time
We force upon the world every
Fall enough cotton to- supply it with
clothes for the following nine
months.
Our experience shows that a great
many men-merchants, bankers,
supply men, warehousemen, etc., are
openly opposed to the farmer hold
ing his cotton.
A bank at Vidalia, Ca, wrote us
last Saturday that it would not
handle our drafts because it would
not be party to a holding" scheme
they believed the farmer should
take what was in sight.
We wrote this bank that many far
n1ers had sold their cotton around
about August 1, for 1856 per pound,
and We presumed these farmers had
acted upon their sage advice and
asked how their advice compared
with the present price Of cotton.
Ours is not a strictly selfish
Corporation, therefore, we belive
that the publication of Mr.. Watson
can we'll afford to help us out for the
Common Good.
1t is very gratifying to see that he
is on a different plane from most of
our Southern daily newspapers
they assume an attitude Of absolute
indifference as to Common Good.
They say if any space is used to ad-
vance the good of the farmer and
the word Corporation" is connected
with the work, it should be paid for
at the regular rates, otherwise they
would not handle it.
Everybody attempts to teach the
farmer chow to produce" and urges
him to glut the market, but no one
tries to show him "h0W to SELF his
produce at a profit.
Ours is a Selling Corporation for
the aid of the farmer.
Yours very truly,
Southern States Cotton Corporati9ns

LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON: BOTH

4th OF JULY
ADDRESS

(The following is the very able ad-
dress delivered by Rey. Thos. j. Nc
Naboe at the forenoon exercises on
the Fourth of July. The subject as
signed the speaker was "The Chris
tian American Citizen."D
Ladies and Gentlemen: We hear
and read much about our duties as
American citizens, but we hear or
read scarcely anything about our du-
ties as Christians. In this age of
wonderful scientific and material pro.
gress the people are so taken up with
the affairs of the world they almost
lost sight of the end for which they
were created. This is called the age
of progress. But what kind of pro-
gress? Material progress, mechanical
inventions. AS we progress material
ly, we retrogress spiritually.
Material progress cannot save us as
nation. Religion alone can do that.
Materialism ignores the soul, denies
responsibility TO God, worships Nam
mon and begets agnosti..ism and an
archy. Law cannot bind the consci-
ence of the materialists, because the
materialist has no conscience.
Render to Caesar the things that
are Caesars and to God the things
that are Gods. But what are the
things that are Caesars. and what
are the things that are Gods? This
Is the question that is now agitating
the Christian world and shaking gov
ernments and society to their very
foundation.

belong taxes, civil and military duties,
and obedience to all just laws franz

"just laws" because the Church OF
God cannot sanction unjust or bad
laws. In word, she cannot sanction
anything that is against religion or

to rule against truth, justice, and the

this definition our duties blth as citi-

than pleased with the fine display.
The dance at the hall started early
in the evening and continued until
early the next morning. The hall
during the entire time was crowded
with dancers and everyone had the
finest kind os time. The Kadoka
FIVE piece orchestra furnished the
music and did exceedingly WELL nu-
merous compliments were heard on
the high class music they furnished.
Much credit for the lively time
throughout the day should be given
to the members of the Kadoka band
who kept stirring music going all the
time, No disorder whatever was re-
ported and not an arrest was made
during the day and night and every
one had good time. and when they
departed for their homes it was with
a feeling that everything possible had
been done for their entertainment,
and they are all willing and anxious
to attend another celebration at Ka-
doka and KadOka is anxious to have
them come again-the most orderly
and good natured crowd ever gather
ed together.

GIVEN FIVE TO
 TWENTY YEARS FOR ASSAULT
Left Latter Dying, as He Believed, After Robbery-SaIhoIm Recover
 ing.

TOBSTONE-H Etienne, the confessed would be assassin who bru- tally assaulted Ralph Salholm at the car barns of the Warren Street Rail- way company a few weeks ago and took from him $1SO, the company's receipts of the evening, pleaded guilty to the charges today in the superior court. He was given an intermediate sentence of from to 20 years in the state penitentiary.
 When asked by the court if he had anything to say, Etienne requested that the judge communicate with the prison officials and ask them to per init him to learn a trade while con- fined there. The Judge granted the request.
 The assault was one of the most brutal in the history of the Warren district. Etienne was in the employ of the company as an extra man. Salholm, night train dispatcher had confidence in him. Etienne being familiar with the customs of the barn and the place where the receipts were kept, called there in the early morning and assaulted Salholm, strik ing him over the head with a heavy cane as he opened the door to let him in. He later stabbed Salholm as the latter attempted to fight him off. He then stole the money and left Sal holm in the office in pool of blood, believing him dying.
 When Salholm was found by the conductors and motorman of an in- coming shift, he was at first believed to be dead. A delicate operation was performed at the c. & A. hospital which was all that saved hi slife. The court was advised today that Saholm was improving slowly and considered to be out of serious danger, although it will be months before he will be able to resume work.

 They soTTowfully grouped them selves about me, and Fenson. burying his head on my shoulder, almost wept as be replied:
 Yes, old fellow, it is too true. She has invited every man Jack down here to spend Christmas with her, and an hour ago she skipped back to town all by herseffi"
 TheSe was solemn pause. The truth was painful, but we felt that we must meet it like men.
 "Boys;" I whispered, i've could fol low her back; but, inasmuch as we are all in the same boat, move that we stay here for the holiday and have a ripping old time, and that the secre- tary be immediately empowered to tel epho1e her agent that we will take another three years lease"

 "Never mind," she said softly. '1 need change, anyway. I am going to open up my country place, and have a real country Christmas" She looked like to run down there for the hol- days?"
 Her words went through me like an electric shock. So was the chos- en one! I had suspected it for some time.
 Do you really mean it?" asked.
 I could see even then the magnifi- cent stretches of country surrounding her beautiful estate, and the stately mansion in the center. Everything was there that the mind or heart could wish, and I was to be lord of it all. Not that cared for the money-I felt that she knew that
 Certainly I mean it. You can run down the day before and stay over for few days. My aunt will chaperon us. Now, you must go, as have some business to attend to-"
 It seemed too good to be true. For the next week went about as one in dream. Luck was with me, even to the elements, for the day before Christmas dawned nclouded, and gave me the opportunity to run my car down to Miss Gatbraith's instead of taking the train, which I detest.

Its a shame, fellows, for able-bodied men like you to annoy a young girl like that!"
 I felt so sympathetic about it, in- deed, that the next afternoon I called on Miss Galbraith to learn the facts.
 "Is it true,'' I asked, that the feI lows in my crowd come around here constantly? I suppose it must be so, as I meet them here all the time. That's the reason why I came this afternoon" added softly. "The even- ings are too crowded"
 The dear girl looked tired.
 Yes, it is true," she replied. You know that twenty-two young men, con stantly succeeding one another, are rather trying"
 It's wearing on you, isn't it?" said.
 "Dreadfully. I am going away"
 I experienced a sudden shock of pain.
 "Oh, don't say that!" I exclaimed. ''I'll do something about it. I'll make them pass a resolution that they aren't to call so often-saX, one man a week during the year. Anything to keep you here!"
 "Oh, Pm only going away for Christmasi" she said, just for a rest. Dear old New York! I hate to leave it at this season, but I know how it will be. They never could keep away, and I shall break down if I don't get a few days off,

when the Whittlers were accustomed to spring" their annual surprises each of them bore that perfectly con- fident and identically joyful air which usually preceded the presentation of something we think the other person has been longing for.
 Whittier advanced with a smile.
 My dear," he said, T have the sur prise of lifetime for you"
 "Oh, do tell mel" said Mrs. Whittier, with a hypocritical air of gaiety and anticipation, although inwardly she shrank from the ordeal. "1 know 1t IS something that I want!"
 What do you suppose it is?' her husband cheerfully inquired.
 Haven't the least idea
 "Well-it is-it is-guess!"
 "Oh, I couldn't! Tell me, quick!"
 Well, it's absolutely nothing. Now, isn't that surprise?'
 Mrs. Whittier burst into tears.
 You horrid thing!" she exclaimed. q shall never forgive you!"
 Put"
 Don't you know that it isn't the value of the thing. I might not have liked it; but the thought that you had tried to please me would have been everything. I didn't do that to you!"
 Whittier, beside himself with sudden remorse, spraHg to her side.
 q was only joking" he exclaimed breathlessly. Honest, was only jok- ink. What have you got for De?"
 She drew from neighboring closet 8 dressing-sack, over which Whittier went into raptures, all the time feeling like a criminal Then, with a solemn air, he drew from his pocket a twenty dollar bill.
 eff you don't like it, he said, you can exchange it for something else"
 Mrs. Whittier shook her head.
 You didn't intend to give it to me, and I'm not going to take it now." she said. 'It was an afterthought-"
 ''But-'
 She folded it up and put it back into his waistcoat pocket.
 'T'n forgive you this time," she smiled; but remember, my dear, that 1t is very much better to go on year after year giving each other things that we don't want than to attempt to break up an old habit; which, after all. foolish as it seems, is founded upon genuine human sentiment" Copyright. by the Frank A Munsey co.>I

was just going out, shut the door, came back, and sat down in front Of his wife.
 My dear girl" he said, q am glad that you have brought this up. because we may as we'll settle it now as at any other time. You know that for years we have been doing this sort of thing every Christmas About this time we both declare that we won't give each other anything; then, just before Christmas, we sneak out, and each of us buys the other a present. This year it will be the same We will promise faithfully not to do it; but, just as sure as fate, we shall break our word"
 'In view of this alarming fact, that we are apparently the slaves of a yearly habit, what have you to sug- gest?'
 Simply this-that we each of us agree now to buy the other present"
 'I know that you will get me some thing don't want!"
 And I know that you will do the same; but isn't that what we have been doing all along?"
 '4Then I don't see that we have gained anything
 Haven't we? Why not? Aren't we doing it openly? Think of the moral uplfft!"
 Mrs. Whittier shook her head.
 q don't agree with you," she said "I think it would be much better fo. us to select ourselves the presents we want. If you like, you can come with me while get mine"
 'Nonsense! That won't do at all. It Is absolutely necessary for us to carry out the element of surprise There is some sneahng, contemptib1e trait in human nature which makes us want, once a year. to surprise others. That is at the basis of all Christmas giving. It's a kind of impuIstve, irrespoosibte attitude which tmpels us to buy some thing that we defude ourselves into believing the recipient is crazy for; while all the time we ought to know that it's probably the last thing on earth he or she wants Would you rob us both of this fiendish pleasure? Never! The only thing to do is to be natural I therefore announce to you
