Just ns they made too much of tho
rift that unhappily cam*' In the frieml
jshlp of Colonel Harvey mul Mr. Wa
gon. so sre they now making too much
or the "pesee-mretins" which Is ssl'l
to have occurred jetween them ot I
Sunday l ist.
Tho public never net* a true under-
Munding of thoee mysterious relation
ships between persons which we call
friendship. Colonel George Harveys
admiration for Mr. Wilson hue been,
from the first. Intense and full of en
thusiasm. As editor of Harpers Week
ly his prutse and keen appreciation
of Wilson as governor of New Jersey
and his hearty advocacy of him for the
democratic nomination was of pecu
liar value In directing thoughtful dem
ocrats toward the man best fitted to
be the leader of their party.
Itut, notwithstanding Colonel Hsr
vey's personal convictions and not
withstanding the truly splendid work
hr wss doing for the demoorstlr party,
there was In the minds of Informed
persons, the .knowledge that Harper’s
Weekly, like all of the other Harper
pohllratlogs, was owned and controlled
by J. Pferpont Morgan Morgan, wh •
was then the high priest of finance amt
the very god of Wall street, wss known
to Influence and control publications
of various aorta—some of them re
publican and some of them democratic.
« The cry of the pt-ople was tor a
e titan Wall Street and Morgan did not
Want and so It happened that Wil
son's good friend, the very man who
had first brought forward his nam*
as the leader of democracy, by one
of those curious and fantastic Ironies.
I which life ulxmntls, became, above
all others, tha one most subtly and
keenly hurtful to hint, as the prospe .-
llve leader of democracy.
In the presence of tlutt picturesque,
but not always wisely poised demo
crat. Henry Watters.m, Mr. Wilson
was asked the direct question If he
thought the aupi>ort of Harper's W cek
i' «s» hurt ng him. what other an
swer, * truthful and direct insii coul l
h«v# made, under the circumstances. It
Is exceedingly difficult to Imagine.
Nevertheless, the painful Incident was
turned Into campaign material and
what a furore of frenuted sentimen
tality there was.
Wilson was branded unsparingly as
an "Ingrate and a school teacher"—*
terms of horror and contempt, such us
had not l*een hitched together since
Bill Nye spoke of "a woman-hater, a
clilld-blter. and a reconteur!'’
"Political Ingratitude," that most
hideous of all crimes was painted lit
words of scorching reviling and chars
ed to "Professor" Wilson's account
Strangely enough, someone started
forth and held aloft a new banner.
"Forward, political Ingrate." It rea I,
f«'t M political gratitude, on this
awapplng of personal favors and
through these Invtolsbla ties of per
sonal obligations the common rights of
tha people of this republic have been
set at naught and forgotten too of
ten.
Aa to the personal feeling existing
bet ween these two gentlemen, the pub
lic has known little beyond the fact
that the incldrnt and the subsequent
crusade It occasioned wnh exceeding
ly painful to both Note* were f«*
changed between them which came to
the public eye and clearly pointed to
the suffering that the 'ncldent hv!
given to s pair of friend* who were
close in their sympathies idrals and
their hopes for their country
lull us restrain ourselves from fur
ther discussion of this Incident, out >t
reverence for friendship, ft Is a plea
sure to realise that these two high
toned gentlemen are In harmony with
one another Nit beyond this, it Is no
body’s buatuesa.

THE ADVENTURES OF THE
FAIRY QUEEN—Part 11.
When the falrlea ret irned that night
and did not find their queen, they
waited until (horning, thinking some
thing very important had called her
away and that she would return with
the first morning light.
Hut when It was daylight and she
did not appear they Imgan hunting
about the woods for her. One fairy
found her crown on the hush, and,
after a while her Wand waa discover
ed hut when her little shell coach waa
found by another fairy they felt sure
name terrible fate had befallen their
queen.
Finally one of the fnlrlcs thought of
Witch Slndok and they went to her.
At first the witch denied all knowl
edge of their queen, but, after a day
or two passed and she did not return,

tho witch told them how the queen

into a w hlte rabbit and had gone to
visit the goblins.
"What shall we do*" thev aske I
Witch SI mi ok. AH the fairies began
to weep, for they were very fond of
their queen. Witch Slnriok waved her
slick and told them to be quiet. "We
must look for n sign." she told them;
"your queen wilt he sure to let us
know In some way If she needs help.
Come with me and we will search the
fields, as they are more nearly con
nected with the goblins' lands than

-THEY ADMIT
“Our Company can advertise their pro
ducts nationally until it is blue in the
face, but it cannot produce results for
the local dealer unless he advises pros
pective customers where the machines
can be bought in his particular teri
tory.”
This is an extract from a letter being sent
out bv a large manufacturer, who believes he is
a national advertiser.
He is spending thousands of dollars for ad
vertising and yet he admits that if the dealers do
not in turn use their home newspapers it is lost
money.
The lesson is obvious.
THE DAILY NEWSPAPER IS THE DI
RECT ROUTE FROM PRODUCTION TO
SALE*.

can succeed without the newspapers.

The moon was shining very bright
ly and Witch Stndok and the fairies
went Into the fields, looking closely
at the ground as they went along.
Suddenly Witch Slndok raised her
stick and called the fairies, “Look,"
she said, pointing to hare spots on the
ground which formed a circle or ring,
and In the center of which grew a
tuff of grass.
“It Is a fairy ring!” cried the fairies
as they gathered around it; “but
where Is our queen?"
“That Is for us to discover.” Said the
witch; "It may he a long time before
we find her. but your queen surely
made this ring. There Is not unothor
one around here, and we must watch.
Hide all of you." she said, "and I will
change myself into a tree by the road
side, and we will see what happens.”
The fairies hid among the grasses,
and after a while they heard voices,
agd from out of the woods came the
goblins In large numbers. They seem
ed to be guarding something very
carefully.
When they reached the fairy ring
the fairies saw a little white rabbit
securely hound with vines. The goh
llns put the rabbit In the ring and
unloosened the vines, so It could run
around, hut they held fast to the ends.
The rabbit ran around the circle,
stopping every once in a while and
pietenlug to nibble at the grass in the
center and looking in all directions.
The tree by the roadside waved Its
branches, und the rabbit saw the stick
of Witch Sindok hanging from one of
them. Then the grasses moved to and
fro and White Rabbit knew help was
Hi hand.
White Rahhlt ran around the circle
again, amt then with a sudden rush
the fairies and Witch Sindok swoop
ed dow n upon the goblins, and before
they could recover from their surprise
Witch Slndok waved her crooked stick
und cried out:
"From out that white and furry
mein.
Appear, appear, thou fairy queen."
The goblins did not wait to hear any
more. They knew the fairies and
Witch Slndok had come to rescue the
queen, and they seamperedl away as
fast as their short legs would carry
them. Ths farlet chased them into

the woods, and they disappeared into
the moss-covered rocks.
The fairies put the crown on the
head of their queen and gave her her
wand.
And away flew the happy little
fairies and their queen to the cool,
green dell for their much-needed
sleep.

FARMERS ATTENTION
HOLD COTTON UNTIL THE
MILLS NEED IT,
The greatest good that can he
done now is for everyone to talk
of the value of cotton, and to strain
every nerve, even to the point of
discomfort, to hold on to this valu
able product of our soil and toll
until the world calls for it again.
We will find that when peace is
declared cotton will be in such
demand that all the surplus we
may be holding will be in demand
at prices that will make us sick If
we have let It get Into the hands
of the speculators.
Many have asked mo what good
have these meetings clone? My
answer is they ure restoring con
fidence, they are showing our peo
ple the absolute folly of panic. And
in the meantime before cotton
comes in much volume the plans
will bo matured to retire all that
the spinners will not take at a prof
it. We cannot do our country
greater harm than by repeating
aiul dwelling on low price talk;
and next to the open market, we
cannot do greater good than to
look and speak cheerful and hold
a stiff upper lip.—EL W. Dabbo, in
The Progressive Farmer.
AUGUSTA COLORED SCHOOLS
URGED TO ADOPT KHAKI UNI
FORMS.
Th# Georgia Baptist Urging Sugges
tion.
October 6, 1914.
Dr. John D. Hammond,
Paine College,
Augusta, Oh.
Dear Dr. Hammond;
We are writing to ask if It would
not he possible that in the selec
tion of uniforms of the students
of Paine this year khaki could be
used? This cloth ia made out of
cotton, is very durable, and can be
deed any color. It would help
quite a bit if this could he done,
because It would make a market
for the cotton, and would enable
the farmers, upon whom we all
have t 6 depend, to realise some
thing on lhe results of their year's
work.
The question of marketing the
cotton is a vital one. It affects
us all: and, in justice to ourselves
as well as those who are our most
liberal patrons. It would scorn that
If we could do anything to relieve
the situation It would be work
well done.
This plan Is the idea of Capt. C.
• H. Hudson, of the Georgia and
Florida Railway, and we are add
ing to it our endorsement, because
of Its originality and servlceable
neas.
Yours truly,
The Georgia Baptist Printing Co.

PROMISES OF SPRING.
October! What promises it brings us
of the spring, for if one would have
crocuses, hyacinths, tulips, and nar
cissus they must plant them in the
tall. While October is the month for
planting, It can be delayed even until
Christmas if the weather is open and
the ground is not frozen. If you wish
to get the real enjoyment of garden
ing, when the air is brisk and nip
ping, and the, soil is soft and warm,
don't delay, bht do it now, before the
weather gets too cold to be a pleasure.
In no case wait until spring, as the
bulbs lose much of their vitality by
being out of the ground so long and
will not amount to anything.—Mrs.
Alex Caldwell, in Southern Woman’s
Magazine.
A Real Georgia Farmer
WALTER E. DUNCAN,
Staff Correspondent,
The Augusta Herald.
Maxeys, Ga. —If all cotton planters
were farmers as well, if growing cot
ton as a money crop they first made
their land produce for them a living
in short, if cotton planters throughout
the South were, like Mr. S. T. Gillen,
diversified farmers, European powers
might contest on battlefields for an
indefinite period of time and the
South would look on interestedly, con
cernedly and sympathetically, hut this
section of the one first-class world
power which is not at war would not
feel the pinch and the depression the
clash at arms has brought.
Taking dinner today at the home of
Mr. Gillen, l was so forcibly struck
with this fact, that I cannot resist
passing it on, the more especially
after the sumptuous meal that was
served.
Though his place is almost in the
heart of the town, Mr. Gillen grows
cotton, but he raises his # own home
products. Every dish served was a
home product. Nothing that I remem
ber, except the salt and the soda in
the steaming hot” - country biscuits,
made of home-raised wheat, was
bought; and with the table loaded
with the best the land affords —turnip
greens, sweet potatoes, fried corn, but
terbeans, tomatoes, peach pickle, okra,
roast pork, chicken pie, with plenty
of rich butter and buttermilk and with
peaches and cream for dessert—l could
not help but contrast the horn of
plenty with the depressed condition
of business and the temper of the man
who insists on talking war and hard
times.
