A MARYLAND DOCTOR BIDS FAIR
TO BECOME A JEFF FRIEND.

My Dear Mr.. Watson: I have
longed to see Watson's Magazine,
am not able to buy them here in
news stands. Will you please send
me sample copy. Will return you
money for same. l saw an item
in ''The Menace from your pen. 1t
was the saltiest little article [ have
ever read against Rome. "Give it

and many millions more. With best
wishes, | remain,

HE SAYS MIR. VALLEY is MIS-
TAKEN ABOUT THE OIL MILLS
AND THE GINS.

Dear Sir: | have just read the
Jeffersonian, and replying to Mr.. G.
w. Nalley, Of Forsyth, Ga, about
his statement about cotton seed oil
companies and gin npanies. Mr.
Nalley says that the oil mills of
Georgia, | believe that he says the
oil mills of Georgia, that owned
gins was sWindling the farmers by
leaving too much Of the lint on the
seed in order that they could re-gin
the seed and get a larger amount Of
linters to the ton of seed. | will
say that I believe that if Mr.. Nalley
will Investigate this ginning business
farther, that he will find out that he
is somewhat mistaken, if he is not
the superintendent of the oil mills
that allow such ginning as this to
go on at the mill he has in charge,
he ought to be given an honorable
discharge and never be allowed to
superintend another oil mill. | have
been in the oil mill business as night
superintendent for the Ozark Oil
Co. for ten years, and our motto is,
to give the farmer the best yield
of lint possible to the amount of
seed cotton that he hauls to the gin,
i
seed that I have to work at the oil
mill was ginned to the hard part of
the seed, if it didn't injure the sam
pie of cotton. This oil mill gin out
here has more competition this year
than it has ever had since I have
been in the oil mill business, and has
ginned more cotton than it has ever
ginned in one season, and we have
not had any trouble with the people
that bring cotton TO this gin.
The oil people out here are honest
men in every respect, and they treat
people right and expect the people
to treat them the same way.
[ know Of transactions that oc-
Cured at this mill where a man sold
seed and the Office man paid him too
much money for the amount of seed
he bought and after he had
gone would see the mistake
come back and give the money
back that did not belong to
him, and have known of trans
actions where the man would not
get the full amount and when the
man came back the office man would
correct the mistake, if he did not
find it out before he left the office.
So you see we try to be honest and
if we make mistake it is not an
intention. Everybody makes mis-
takes sometime. | hope Mr.. Nalley
will investigate this gin business
and be sure he is right before he
writes again.

about IT,
We'll the tarin question settled. rather
settled for time when Woodrow Wilson elected
President of the United States The cotton planter and
the free trade farmer had their way. Tariff duties
tumbled and Eastern mills felt the shock while for
egn manufacturer smilingly added the duty to the
price OF his ommodites thus requiring the American
consumer to pay the same old price more. But the
lesson was not fully taugh outside the mill districts
where labor sadly affected until the European
war broke out. Mark the effect. First the foreigner
demanded i~'mediately the return of the money he
had invested ir railroads and Industrial enter
prses Then every foreign nation under its subsidy
or sub-yention, other suffering, impressed its
merchant vessels into It's own naval service.
Then the great American nation, whose merchant
marine is almost joke found itself at a complete
standstill Nothing coming into the custom houses
and nothing going out great cotton crop and no
ships carry It abroad. Our greatest cereal crop
and still vessels to carry it, That tells the story
Is It any wonder that there is hurrying and sour
ryins the part Of the present administration to
this distressing situation2 The failure Of the
Democratic tariff in this instance will necessitate in
ternal taxation falling directly upon the people, Of
least $1OOO0OOOO We have already suffered in the
mill districts because did not have sufficient pro-
lection Now the cotton grower and the farmer must
suffer because do not have the ships in which to
transport their products The moral is that this
try is too big be dependent upon the ships of any
other nation and that its standards too high
to be destroyed by low duties suited to foreign condi-
tons. There ought TO be American standard of

there should be American standard of living"

pathetic interest by all Americans Had It not been

The coroner's jury recommended that if the railroad
