JET RECEIVES
GOLD WATCH
Atlanta Police Chief Does Not
Know Whether It's a Gift
or Not

ATLANl !, Nov. I1.-Chief of
Police f. L. Jet is somewhat at a
loss to know whether gold open
face watch sent to him anonymously
through the mail was meant as q
gift for himself or whether it was
turned over to the police by some
conscious-stricken thief. Santa Claus
is not due for six weeks yet.
The watch is rather colst!y and
bears no inscription or other identi-
flying marks to indicate its owner
ship. Neither have the police any
record Of any such watch being stol-
en-.
Although the chief would like to
believe that the timepiece was meant
as a Christmas gift, he is inclined
to the opinion that it falls under the
classification of stolen property. 1t
is being held for identification.

WHY NOT WORK TOGETHER?

The suggestion has been made several
ed in Tobacco growing and DESTROYS of bringing
in more tobacco growers from the Carollnas
and Virginia, form an organization and work
in harmony in their efforts to bring more ex-
nerienced tobacco growers into this section
from the old tobacco belt. We think the plan is
a good one and would like to see the Triton
Board of Trade take the lead in the matter,
call meeting of the counties interested TO De

effort.

of experience and have plenty of land to oner

er in a campaign to bring hundreds OF OLD peit
tobacco growers to the new belt this fall to
look over the territory and pick out locations
Working together, the counties should be able
to carry on the campaign at much less expense
than by going at the matter individually Some
of the counties are planning such campaign.
Why not get them all together and work IN
harmony! The expense SnOulu pe pio-AaCeU Az

We fully agree with our neighbor in his sug-
gestion for cooperative efforts between the
interested counties, in securing desirable set
tiers from the Caronas and Virginia to South
Georgia None of these counties can afford the
expense to settle up these fertile lands, but by
Joining our finances, each and every county
could secure the settlers they need at COM
parative small cost to the land owner Fitzger-

ment we believe, and if Tifton's Board of

representatives on hand to make it a certainty
It is now the right time to go after tobacco
farmers, show them the tobacco in the field
and on the sales floors.

WHY MIR. BRYAN LOST THE
PRESIDENCY

When in 1896 the Peoples party nominated
Wr, William Jennings Bryan for President
aud Thomas E. Watson for Vice President, 1t
was on the distinct promise by leaders OF the
Democratic party that both of these illustrious
.nen should be the standard bearers for both
iafSje sis an Tie Campaign against the Repub-
jcan nominee. Mr. Bryan himself, had given
consent TO secure from the Democratic con-
veUt1sn in Chicago the endorsement for that
ticket.
" The Chicago convention, instead. gave Mr..
Bryan as; his running mate, the late Senator
Kern, Of Indiana, ON the Democratic ticket,
ignoring the promises made the Populists, and
SO last for the Democrats the pivotal Middle
West and w esteru States, that were strong for
the Peoples party and the reform platform
adopted in st. Louis
This left Mr.. Watson without running
mate on the Peoples party ticket. The doubt
fu) states lined up with the Republicans and
Mr. Bryan lost the only chance he ever had
of becoming President. With his loss we be-
beve the country lost UNNECESSARILY more.
Bryan and Watson both, were great men,
both untiring in their efforts, whatever they be
1icVc.d right and in the interests of the masses,
both failed in reaching the goal to which their
lives ambition had been set. The men of the
field, factory and labor generally, may not
again in century have two such champions
eg,,ause their cause.

TEN COMMANDMENTS"

The case of plagiarism or infringe

ers-Lasky corporation in respect to
the photoplay, "The Ten Command
ments," postponed until September
IA, in the U. S. District Court in At
lanta. Mrs. Thompson's complaint is
the same as hundred of others who
have submitted scenarios to the diff
ferent film companies only TO have
them refused, and then experience
the establishment later of seeing
their ideas worked out with some
slight change in names or location
and blazoned as the product of some
paid underling in the company. 1t
is sa dthe only protection a writer
can have in this respect is to publish
the story in magazine or paper and
copyright it, else he stands a good
chance to have it stolen from him
without redress. The outcome of
this case will be watched with cOnsid-
cradle interest, though the odds are
always in favor of big corporation.
"Skin-deep" was one of these apprO-
priated stories, original with friend
of the writer, but no case was made.

FAsuaef Governor Lowden, of Illinois, is

intervening therefore. are his views on the
marketing Of agricultural products. Address

the senate, appears to be former Senator Al
bert J. Beveridge. The latter is unquestioE-
ably a great student of the Constitution. His
great work on the life of John Marshall IA
miliarized him with events leading up to the
adoption of that instrument, the reasons when
determined the nature of it, and the compro-
misses which entered into it. Beveridge would
not be called great constitutional lawyer, but
he knows much about it, and can tell what it's
trainers were trying to do when they wrote in
to it the sections creating the national Senate
and House Representatives defining their du-
ties.
Mr. Beveridge has ben known as progress
sive He was a Bull Mooser. He calls Dawes
"reactionary.'' Beveridge, the progressive,
then, is stand-patter in the present instance,
Dawes, placed in the "reactionary" column 10y
Beveridge, becomes a progressive" demand
ing reform.
It is the intention of the former senator
from Indiana that Mr.. Dawes proposal is car
ried out will destroy the deliberatiive func-
ton of the Senate, make it Junior adjunct of
the House and destroy the fine balance be-
tween them.
If the Senate rules are to go before the
whole people for solution, there is certainly
no harm in having both sides presented by
able champions. Dawes would alter the Sem
ate rules by creating public sentiment which
will demand change. Such action would
throw the responsibility, therefore, upon the
electorate at large. If the popular will is to
determine this matter, by all means let us hear
both sides.
