Laned people something over $500
Cor Their half of the expenses Of Send
ing thissorganization on the trip, hall
OF the expense being paid by the

the bcal NJ. W. A. lodge secured
the band and drin team for this occa
sion, the merchants and other peo-
pie ct the town hberally contributing
TO a fund for this purpose. The Lar

music. Altogether it was a most
pleasant entertainment for all con

near-cyclone out in that community

POLICE SHIELDS
over SOFT HEARTS

New York, Aug. At you were
down on your luck would you 60 to a
policeman woth a hard times story,
or would you prefer to keep away from
the big blue-coated guardian. of peace
and safety? Well, the chances are if
you made up your mind to go to one
he would; do all in his power to help
you, for it has been proven by New
York policeman disguised as beggar.
Stuart Rice played the role of the pan
handler, and in his work travelled all
over the city. Only three of the po-
licemen he approached gave him the
cold shoulder and the rest helped him
by suggesting where he could apply
for food and shelter and several tried
to get him a job. "They" we're not
surly about the business either, says
Rice. Two of them took his plight so
much to heart that they were determ-
ined to find jobs for him. For time
was afraid they would have me
chained to somebody's woodpile and
my investigation would come to an ig
nominous end" admitted Rice. "One
job was with bill posting concern. ]
thought / was doomed to start out
with a paste bucket and BRUSH
looked at my blue coated Good Samar-
itan and resolved to stick to the buck
ct if they handed it to me. But the
boss decided to put me to work next
day. Even now l keep a weather eye
open for that cop. If he finds he run
ming around loose III sure he'll take
me back to that paste bucket shop and
tie me to the job he took so much
trouble to find me-" Few of the police
men sent him away without an offer
of carfare.

SLAV COAL Miners
Bring ON famine

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 4.-General al
vances in food prices are likely to
make the cost of living even worse
tkan in the past, according to local
merchants, though war prices have
not yet begun to affect the Atlanta re-
tailers.
Meat prices are tound to advance
sharply, said the managers of the big
wholesale houses today. Wholesale
grocers announce small increase in
-four prices, and are buying heavily to
guard against further advance.
From the West comes rumors of 4
coal famine, in case the thousands OF
Slavs who form the bulk of the miners
go home to serve their countries.

PLAN RURAL BETTERMEh7

Baltimore, Md, Aug. 4.-To make
the churches the centre of the social
as well as the religious activities in
country communities is the aim of the
country life conference which opened
it's three days session in this city this
morning. Catholic and Protestant
ministers are participating and one Of
the facts to be discussed is that the
young people of the rural sections are
more and more prone to leave the
country for the towns, and those who
stay are not using the churches as
much as is desired. Instances will
be given of churches that thrive be-
cause they help the people to social
companionship. Among the speakers
are DR.. H. ]. Patterson, Prof. W. NJ.
Hays, DR.. T. N. Carver and Henry Is
rael, eitor of Rural Manhood. Practf-
cally every phase of religious work
will be discussed, although the rural
problems will be given particular at
tention. Such a conference as this
has never been held in the state, al
though great need for more concerted
effort has been felt.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

Suffrage in even the South ere many
more years have passed, and I think
when you consider how the woman
would revolutionize the ballot box
for good, 1 think you will not be so
harsh with the subject as you have
been. The liquor element and the
money trust and all big corporations
of special privilege are opposed to
woman coming to the ballot.

''LIFE OF ANDREW JACKSON"


''LIF'E OF ANDREW JACKSON"
Dear Mr.. Watson: When I wrote
you last I had read about half of
your Life of Jackson Since then
l have carefully read it all, and some
of it twice. | have read all of the
Lives of Jackson, except Buell's,
which | never wished to read, be-
cause of his unreliability. Yours is
the only true story of Jackson ever
published. His Federalist and Wing
opponents were too prejudiced to do
him justice; his idolaters coIld see
no faul. III him. You have hit the
happy medium, and your Jackson
should take precedence of all other
books on that subject For three
months during the Civil War, I was
stationed with my regiment at the
home of Hon Bailie Peyton and
author of "OId Times in Tennessee,
and an ardent supporter of Jackson
all his life. Peyton was Jackson
member Of Congress till 1886 when
he refused to support Van Buren, in
1886, he sacrificed more than any
man in Tennessee. He was q duel
list like Jackson and a racer of
horses. They were congenial
Since [ wrote you several years
ago about Jackson, l have learned
some interesting facts about him,
some of which have never been pub
lished that I am aware Of In his
first race for the Presidency the
sentiment in Tennessee was almost
unanimously for him. I believe
only 1000 votes cast against him.
The press of the State were all for
him and nothing to his prejudice
then published in Tennessee If
there is any probability of your get
ting out second edition of your
Jackson I will write you Of the
things I have learned since a few
years ago. I would rather send it
to you than to any newspaper, be-
cause you are entitled to anything I
have about Jackson. The new ma
terial I have on Jackson is conf1r-
matOry Of all in your splendidly writ
ten book and some of it is amusing.
I have read with interest and ap-
prevail what you say on Foreign
Missions. In 1900, while I was a

Comment.
ALL THAT THE FARMERS ASK is,
A SQUARE DEAL.

Dear Sir: I herewith enclose
what is claimed to be President
Woodrow Wilson'S idea of what the
farmers Of the United States need,
and shall have. I am farmer, and
have been all my life Have been
associated with various farmers or
CARNATIONS and none, of them, to my
knowledge have ever asked any
special privileges in the way of a
currency issue, the farmer only asks
an honest deal in the financial sys-
tenn Of the United States. One mon
ey, gold, silver, and q full legal ten
der paper currency issued direct
from the hand of the Federal Gov
eminent in qualities to do the bust
ness of the country on cash basis,
then the people will be both prosper
GUS and happy.
Yours truly,
