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.

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.

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, Wlj * •"t2/L* • ,o x Be^S rrv 7 *» * tho witch told them how the queen hail come to her and been changed 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 NEED NEWSPAPERS -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*. \n advertising campaign—national or local, can succeed without the newspapers. INDOOR SPORTS any other place " 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 AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. 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. (Copyright, 1914, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate, N. Y. City.) I omorrov/s story—“ The Wise Old Gander.” 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. W. J. White. Jr..

Washington.— The navy department Wednesday sought for a descendant preferably a young unmarried woman, of David Ruahnell. a graduate of Yule In 1775, who invented and built a sub marine boat during the revolutionary war, to act as sponsor for one of the new submarine tenders which has been given the name "BushneiL"’ By Tad 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.
