matter !?

A1teF qulZzed NcAQOO'S department into
high state of persplration, our Son-in-law
delegated Brother A. j. Peters to answer the
telephone
In justice to Brother A. J. P. it must be
said that he is a very polite gentleman, and
that, upon the whole, [ would rather deal
with him than with McAdoo.
Besides, McAdoo is buster than Peters. just
now, for McAdoo is in court, charged with
conspiracy to wreck bank.
Peters has never, to my knowledge, been
accused of anything as bad as that.
Consequently, Peters had time to tell me
about the shuttle of the cards, which dealt
out three ten-dollar bills to my friend Reuben,
for his bale Of cotton, and, from the same
deck. dealt out seven ten-dollar bills to the
silk-hat gambler, for the same bale Of COT
ton.
Naturally, it stands to reason, that Nc
against bank, would rather have Peters
explain ''this NATTER than to try his own
hand at it.
Besides he knew that had some pointed
questions to ask him, which / cannot ask
Brother Peters, because they deal with an
other charge of conspiracy which can be
fairly brought against Wilson's lanky Son
in-law.
I wanted to ask McAdoo how he expected
to escape the charge Of conspiracy against the
Democratic South. and of completely with the
robbers of the South, when he so cynically
refused to let the South have any of the new
money which his machines were printing by
the hundred million.
-Four pet banks in Atlanta got nearly all
of the one million dollars of the new money
that McAdoo sent to Georgia; and the farm
ers and country merchants never got one cent
of that million.
Yet McAdoo had promised to send $780,
100000!
Who was it that got the 1919, OOO,OOO-and
more, too?
The New York bankers got it, and they
turned it over to the spectators of
whom are directors in the banks and the
spectators invested it in cents cotton.
The farmer had to sell-why?
0.) Because his debts were due and
pressing:
(2.) Because the banks refused to lend him
money;
(3.) Because the cotton factors refused to
advance any money on stored cotton;
a. Because the Government refused to
buy any of the crop, warehouse any of the
crop. lend any money to hold the CROP or to
90 anything whatever to help the men whose
fathers and grandfathers had always voted
the Democratic ticket, and who had always
voted it. themselves.
Ii the South had become debatabe grourd,
and had sometimes gone Republican, it would
have been different
Or. if there were two white political par
ties in the South, nearly"equal in strength, it
would have been different.
In that case, the Government, when con-
trolled by one of these nearly equal parties
would have to show some consideration to the
South, else the party in power would lose in
the South, and would thus be thrown out of
power
