"WATSON’S MISSION."
Under the above headline the At

out dissent or comment, but that
part of It la Ita own affair:
Editor The New*: I thank you for the
fair and manly way you treited ua and
our brilliant leader through your paper.
The cry ailll continue* to come from the
so-called Democratic preea of the country
that Mr. Watson made a mlatnke In ac
cepting the nomination; that ha should
have fouirht In the rank* for I'nrker and,
na It 1*. ha la only helping to elect Roose
velt. Let’s see: How could Mr. wataon
fight for J’nrker whan he does not believe
in a single thtng that Psrxef stands for.

brllllnnt. brnthy, honest lenders. but by
echoming, cruel, unacrupttloua boaa doml.
nntorf Dryan la a omened leader and
Wataon would come out crualied If he
only dared go through the old party mill.
Mr, Wataon la now engaged In scooping
out n foundation and laying the under
pinning of an everlasting bridge that la
to 1 pnn the Moody cn«am of acctlor.al
hatred that hss continually been kept
ebbing and flowing between the aectiona
of our great country by tying politicians
from both old nartlea. While aoma of ua

laetmg gfvwi for the human family than
Parker nnd the whole of Wall afreet ever
ban or ever will do.
Why. air, every R. F. D. mall bo*
you are on fence or poet la a Hump
Mpeeeh for Mr. Wataon and humanity.
Now. If Mr. Wataon waa nut for tho coin,
rcganllean of principle, he could then ca
ter to the Wall atreotera, but no Jefferao.
nlnn Democracy would follow him; he
would be like itrynn—a crushed. oatra-

waa a ml-take, the election of delcgntea
to the fit. fxnila convention, and the
railroading of Parker ttimugn ovet\ the

OUR SOUTH AFRICAN TRADE.*
Tho conditions of business In South
Africa have Improved tremendously
alnce the close ot the Boer war. At
that time there were enormous stocks
nfested at the porta and a ' great
nrrity of Jabof. The situation was
discouraging In every way. But the
owners of the gold field began to Im
port Cblneat labor and with the>r
coming the wheels began to move, it
Is expected that by next October there
will be fully 100,000 coolies In the mines
and fields.’'In the meantime the stocks
at tha ports have been absorbed and
therefore business Is now conducted
under circumstances at once norm'll
and progressive. The remarkable feat-
ure of (he resuscitation la that Ameri
can trade la growing more rapidly than
that of Great Britain. Thla Is shown In
the returns made by the British author
ities themselves. It amounted to
£6,211.303 last year, as against
£4,429.330 in 1902 and £2.640.193 in
1901. On the other hand the British
trade showed an increase of only about
£300.000.
The American gain l* remarkable
from the fact that British trade hue
had the benefit of a preferential tariff,
hut this has been offset by cheaper
transportation. Indeed. It Is said that
our shipping rates are so much lower
that British firms have found it profit
able to ship to South Africa by way.
of New York. If then there should
have been no preferential tariff, the
Increase of the American trade would
have been very great Indeed. Mr.
Chamberlain’s policy may have ben
efited British commerce as against
other nations than the United States,
but It seems that Uncle Bam’-l manu
facturers have found u way to "cut
under."
Probably Chairman Cortelyou can
hire the voter* by the day to read
Teddy's letter. Anybody out of & Job
should apply at onto.
Of course it waa not an Atlanta man

he did discover the "old com’’ snake--

GOOD ROA08 IN GEORGIA.
Clarke county la performing a great
educational work In her resolution to
build up within her borders a thorough
system of modern macadamised roads.
The expenditure of probably 1200,000
In the work promises to give the enter
prising people of that historic county
a congerlea of solid highways good for
generations to coma. Tha value of
them In enhancing rural properties and
building up the county seat, Athena, yta
a horns trade center, cannot be now
adequately estimated.
The Telegraph has repeatedly advo
cated a general state movement In fa
vor of good roads. They are among
the moat urgent needs of our people.
We cannot secure much valuable Im
migration Into our farming sections, or
realist a rapid Increase In the value
and productiveness of our country
properties, until we substitute aolld.
graded roads for the rutty, inuddy nnd

now have.
It la a aure proposition that those
counties will become the most popu
lous and prosperous that have the beat
obtainable roads. They art tha Infalli
ble witnesses that testify to enterprise,
thrift and a higher civilisation. We
hope the example of Clarke county will
turn out to be contagious rather than
conspicuous.
