TAKING THE HIDE OFF OUR
REVEREND UNCLE HENRY

Few will believe that a man in
perfect possession of his senses
would have uttered the wild words
with which Mr. Watterson disgraced
his newspaper during the last ten
days unless driven by some hard
taskmaster. The liquor interests in
politics may have mapped out the
course for Mr.. Watterson to follow;
that is something for the master and
servant to settle between themselves.
AS for the gentlemen whom Mr..
Watterson has assailed, INCLUDING
Mr.. McDermott and Mayor Busche-
meyer, they can rest easy, knowing
that they are in good company and
are honored by the enemity of this
vindictive, disappointed old man.
Referring to attacks by Mr.. Wat
terson upon men the nation delight
ed honor, Senator Beckham said in
the card published in the Evening
Post yesterday.
Watterson attacked the private
character of W. J. Bryan; his at
tacks upon Grover Cleveland were
no less violent; he called Woodrow
Wilson, of New Jersey, "croOk,
and so with many other distinguish
ed men whom he disliked, or of
whom he was jealous, he has poured
out upon them the walls of his vim
dictive and splenetic rage in lang
|uage frequently that only drunken
bulgarian would use.
In city and State politics, Mr..
Watterson has been the same. There
is no man who has rendered disin-
terested public service to Louisville
whom Mr. Watterson has not ma

Bingham in 1907 when the latter

restitution to the city of property
that had been stolen. Mayor Grind

MILLION DOLLARS
FOR Icons HAY

Mr.. o. Z. Gambling has sold fif-
teen hundred bushels of seed peas
this season. At least dozen deal
ers have averaged as many. 1t re-
CURES one half bushel of seed per
acre, and the yield will average one
ton. So in Leon county, this year
We can safely estimate that eight
cen thousand bushels have been
planted to $4,000 acres. At $50 per
ton the financial yield will be $780,
900.
Pea vine hay is one of Leon coun-
tvs best financial crops. Butoats,
barley, peanuts, velvet beans, sorg-
hum and millet are also fine hay
products, and have been extensively
grown this season.
II can be safely estimated that
Leon county will produce at least
a million dollars worth of hay this
on.-Tallahassee True Demo-

Referrin to the fact that | had

would not, it would seem that

should have sought subscriptions
among the good women of Lakeland
rather than as | have done, among
the men.
He writes: THE best answer to
that is, that women are better saw
ers than men. A great many are
teachers, and don't have large sums
to loan on mortgages, apd we pay
better interest than the banks.
Again we have many widows, and
they don't like to trust to getting
mortgages, and they get better in
terest here than at the banks, yet
sure, and no trouble. And also they
can get the principal when they
want it, and could not if out on
mortgage.

year, which experts declare will
produce forty bushels of corn per
acre on four acres, FIVE hundred
bushels of sweet potatoes per acre

These crops will represent money

AMERICAN AND GERMAN IDEAS

There is considerable food for
thought in the following editorial
from the Columbia State:
DIR. C. ]. Hexamer, of Philadel-
phia, president of the German
American Alliance, in his address at
the Panama Exposition, did not de-
part from the truth when he said
that German influence in America
for freedom, education, religion, Gull
ture and good citizenship was sec
ond to none.' He could have used
no language too emphatic in describ-
ing the wholesome and sterling vir-
tues of the Germans in the United
States-their industry, their so
briefly, their sturdy patriotism, their
uncommonly high sense of financia
obligation, their abiding faith in
education, their love and encourage
ment of music and the fine arts
We wish, when this war ends,
thousands of Germans would come
to South Carolina. We wish our
German element" were tweny
times so numerous as it is.
At the same time let II be remem-
bered that there is one thing that
we get from the English, the Scotch
and the Irish and that is the love of
individual liberty. In 1775 and
1888 our foregbears went to war
with their fatherland and asserted
independence of it because King
George H., who was a German, de-
MED to them exactly wha they had
inherited from their British ances-
tors. King George spent his long
life endeavoring to restore to the
British throne the absolute power
which the British mobiles and COM
mons had torn from liking
George H. was an accurate proto-
type of the Emperor William H.,
whose victorious armies entered
Warsaw recently. And King
George, for his day and generation
was, personally, good man-as
Emperor William is no doubt
Had the population of the Thir-
teen Colonies been predominantly
German in 1875 there would have
teen no rebellion Had that wild
profiigate, FOSTERING, brilliant gen.
ius in whose veins coursed the blood
of the Stuarts. Charles ames Fox, or
the prime minister under thor
oughly British king, the American
colonies would have been given no
pretext for rebellion. The colonies
rcbelled because they were British.
All that DR.. Hexamer claims for
Americans is true OF all
the various races blended and blend
ing in this American melting pot, -
they are of the most valuable and
desirable, but the American notion
of liberty is as far apart from the
German as the poles are apart
Which is the superior it were use
less to discuss, but the fact re-
mains that between the British and
American ideas there is no essential
difference. Whatever we have, good
or bad, in our politics. our form of
government and our laws in this
republic is British. The citizen, no
matter wha his racial extraction,
who in his heart does not resent and
rebel against the basic ideas on
which the Hohenzollern system
rests can never be happy in the
United States.

If Russia yields now and con-
sword point of the Kaiser, it will be
an inglorious peace, and the huge
empire of the Car, which we have
all been taught to consider a col
lossus of almost Unreasonable power
will shrivel in the worlds view as
an overgrown, flabby pretender
which it would be safe for anybody
to kick. The Car has never been
reputed to be strong character.
BY common report he personally
lacks combativeness and the force
and decision of character that is the
most important part of the equip
ment of man charged with execu-
tive duties; and, if he shows yellow
now and gets on his knees to Ger
many, he is pretty sure to lose his
throne later on in the internal dis
sensions likely to follow the humili-
alton of his empire. But whatever
his personal inclinations, we don't
believe that the strong, proud men
who are his counsellors and advisers
will permit him to yield, and with
his army, or the best part of it
saved, it will be reorganized and
come again. Germany has all the
world guessing as to what her next
move will be, but the further in
vasion of Russia hardly, seems prob
able. There are too many danger
Gus foes in the rear to be dis
DOsed of.

Former Governor Slaton, Of Geor-

the exposition and they are making
much of him there as a character of
national distinction because he had

irs the death sentence of Leo Frank.
Our destinies turn often upon COM
paratively small pebbles of circum-
stance, and the rowdies and loafers
threatening the life of the Georgia
