BREWERS STATEMENT
ABOUT AFFAIR WITH RUSSELL

Jackson, Miss, July 15.-Governor
Brewer reached here tonight from
Copiah county on his way to Sena-
tobia. During his brief stay here
Governor Brewer discussed his al
tercation at Wesson with Senator Lee
Russell, in which he warned the lat
ter to be careful with his charges Of
theft against him.
Governor Brewer dictated the fol-
lowing statement:
81 had heard that Russell claimed
in a speech at Greenwood the other
day that l had stolen a bill. And
soon after he began speaking he said,
4 am accused of having charged my
opponent, Bunyan Carter, with hav-
ing stolen a bill, and I did any
thing of the kind. I am now going
to tell you who did steal the bill,
and turned his face towards me as
I sat on the platform and l immedi-
ately arose, walked close up to him
and said in a low tone of voice that
no one could hear except Russell and
the other two men, DR.. Little and Abe
Cohen, who e seated on the plat
form with us: 4 want to say, Sen
ator, that I have taken a great deal
off of you because / was governor
and did not want to breach the peace,
but there are some things that / won't
take off of you or any other man.
and the people of Mississippi do not
require me to take as governor, and
if you accuse me Of stealing, Is you
have evidently started to do I'll cut
your throat from ear to ear RICH,
here He replied in a low tone, You
can try that whenever you get ready.
81 said, Whenever you make the
charge I am ready, and if you doubt
it make the charge and l will show
you better than I can tell you.
Thereupon l stepped back and sal
down and he turned and said to the

The note from Germany is bitterly
Disappointing. This country had been
led to expect, from the reports COM
ing out of Berlin, that a serious eff
fort was being made to accommodate
the differences between the Kaiser's
government and ours, that there
would be some recognition of the
righteousness of the principle for
which we are so earnestly contend
ing, and that upon this recognition
could be founded IN understanding
creditable to the enlightenment and
humanity of both countries. But
there is not a line in this note to in
dictate such an effort. It comedies
nothing. It denies, in effect, the JUS
tice of the American position. It ac-
cepts responsibility for none of the
acts committed in violation Of our
rights in relation to beligerent YES
Observation-Disclosures
We have here a forceful expression
of the general, it may be said the al
most unanimous American view, of
the German reply. The comment is
a good one as far as it goes. The
right estimate is placed on the Ger
man note-it comedies nothing, it de-
MES everything, of the American po-
sition. But by the cable dispatches
of quotations from the German press,
there is an equal unanimity in the en-
dorsement of the Kaiser's reply by his
people. While the pifle handed out
is polite, the German attitude is ex-
pressed by the -interrogation-we
make war our own way, and what are
you going to do about it,? The
question is one that none of our ed
itors, or statesmen, r in a hurry
about answering. For once, all seem
willing to leave the President to bell
the cat. And this disposition is prob
ably best, coupled, as it is, with con-
fidence in his wisdom and a common
agreement to support him in what
course he adopted.
Some would evade the German cri-
sis by mixing it up with a compare
lively mere chose in action account
against Great Britain; treating the
detention of a few ship loads of cot
ton as the equivalent of the destruc-
tion of the lives of q hundred Amer
iican citizens, tbound on lawful er-
rand, as passengers on a merchant
ship" Through a hundred papers
quoted in the Times-Ficayune Of yes
terday, half Of them Southern, the
ATLANTA Constitution is about the on
ly one taking that perverted view. It
said:
"While the German problem is

people, the governor has threatened
to cut my throat.
He then went to talking about
something else and never said any
thing further about the bill and I
sat on the platform until he had fin
|ished. ! was then presented to the
audience. / told the audience, to be-
gin with, that I was not going to en-
gage in any joint debate with Lee
Russell; that they could observe he
largued no principle, but simply en-
gagged in mud-slinging in its lowest
and most crude form, and I could not
maintain my ~self-respect or maintain
the dignity of the high office the peo-
pie had honored me with and engage
in that kind Of a discussion, but
would content myself with making
respectful reply to each Of the charges
he made, and all of them he had made
before he had heard me refute them
over and yer again, but he renewed
them in each speech he made with
just as much energy as if he thought
they were true"
I'm justification of his threat, Gov.
ernor Brewer said:
81 respect the laws of my country
and yer the percepts Of its holy
religion. I will practice moderation
and forbearance to avoid a calamity
and shudder at the shedding of hu
man blood, but may my arm fall pal
sled from the socket if I fail to de
fend my own honor.
Give eve been accused of theft
no governor of Mississippi within m,
knowledge has been accused of steal
ing, and I do not think that the goo,
people of Mississippi require at m.
hands, ever though I am governor
that | sit on a platform and allow an,
man to falsely accuse me of stealing.

The Courier-Journal thus disposes
of the Constitutions suggestion:
"That the English orders in council
were violations of neutral rights un-
der international law and usage was
made manifest by the protest Of our
government. Unfortunately the course
pursued by Germany made it needful

greater crime than a hundred muir

Ito the credit of the Southern news
|papers tit must be acknowledged
that the South has suffered most from
the effects Of this war; that only a
few see the thing from this point of
view. Most of them agree with the
newspapers in the other parts Of the
country that Germany's note is an
evasion, characterized by insolence.
"To compare the state of our ne
gotiations with England about the or
ders in council to those with Germa-
ny about the Lusitania is to get up
a grossly material standard of con-
duct that has no sanction in Ameri-
a thought. England may have
stopped some of our cotton ) ship
ments, but she has not murdered any
|of our children. This is a point to
keep clearly in mind"
AS the New York Press has said,
because we have grievances-fright-
full grievances-against the Won Tir-
pitt submarines, We must manufac-
ture spurious grievances against the
British prize courts" But admitting
that the grievances" r Eot sspu-
,rious," there is every reason why
they, and anything else, should no1
be permitted to be obtruded on the
settlement, first of the issue of real
and great gravity. We feel sur that
the President will act N the plan Of
one thing at . time. And before get
ting through with the German affair,
there may be cause for great indul-
gence towards the allies-Vicksburg

CERTAIN CURE FOR PELLAGRA

Commerce, Miss, Sept 10, 1913.
Y. P. Still. Senatobia, Miss.
Dear Sir: Replying to yours Of
recent date relative to use of water
from your well ii cases Of pellagra,
win state that we have been using
the water for the past twelve months
that we have had twenty-five or thir-
ty Isl of pellagra On N different
plantations. Prior to its use we had
two cases of pellagra treated by the
best physicians of the country and
afterwards sent them to the hospital
at Vicksburg, and they both died.
Since using the water we have had
only one case to die and I think that
was because we could not get the pa
tient to use it freely.
You certainly have solved the prob
lem Of a cure for pellagra. AS the
Great Physician, the giver of all good,
has placed in your custody an al
most infalable cure for this dread

cry. Very respectfully,

Supply The Farmers With
Bacteria

Commissioner Koiner has
made arrangements to furnish
the farmers OF Virginia bac-
terra to sow on land that will
greatly Increase the crop
where the soil is lacking in
this kind of bacteria. This
applies only to the nitrogen
gathering plants. the legumes,
such as all the clover family,
cowpeas. alfalfa, soy beans and
soriorth. This bacteria is
made Tor the Department and
is furnished to the farmers at
cost, namely, for one acre SO
cents, for five acres 40 cents
per acre.
Very often the use of bac-
terra will double the yield of
the crop. This bacteria is
not a fertilizer and does not
act we'll on sour land. Full
directions will be sent by
Commissioner Koiner to any
one desiring the Information.
This bacteria is a minute plant
that absorbs the nitrogen from
the air and feeds the plant.
Almost all soils are deficient,
more or less, in nitrogen and
nitrogen is the most costly
ingredient in fertilizers. The
use OF this bacteria will often
insure a good crop that with
out its use would be a failure.
These cultures are shipped
in bottles in a jelly condition,
which is diluted with water
and mixed with the seed just
before they are sown.
