THE WATSON MELON. Seed grown for several years and introduced by me is of fered to the public in limited quantities, as follows: % lb., 35c; % lb., 65c; 1 lb. $1.25. Seed guaranteed pure and from first hands. Address W. A. WATSON, Thomson, Georgia. In offering this melon more exten sively to the public I desire to give its history. About eight years one of my brother’s (Thomas E. Watson) friends sent him a small package of the seed and stated to him that he called it the Watson melon. My brother gave the seed to me, I planted a few hills the first year and was so greatly pleased with the melon that I planted about two acres in them the following year, the yield and sales were so satisfactory that I discarded all others. I have been raising melons for mar ket the past thirty years, and I con sider the Watson melon the very best that I ever saw in every respect. It grows larger, under the same circum stances, has fewer rotten ends, keeps longer after getting ripe, is very solid, •for which reason it is a good shipper. It is, in my opinion, the best melon ever put on the market, with a deli cious flavor that has no superior. W. A. WATSON. Light Draft Manure Spreaders FOR TWO HORSES * * Dunn Machinery Company 54 Marietta Street - ATLANTA, CA. The Weekly Jeffersonian AND THE COMMONER TOM WATSON’S WEEKLY and WM. J. BRYAN’S PAPER Both One Ye&r for Only $1.50 Mr. Bryan is the most conspicuous figure in American politics today. He is more —he is a World Figure. His views on men and things are awaited with interest in foreign countries as well as at home. THE COMMONER is his medium of communication with the world; but it is more than a per sonal organ, for it covers the whole realm of political thought. Hence, no one, whether a follower or an oppo nent of Bryan’s doctrines, can fail to be interested in the columns of this famous paper. . Address THE WEEKLY JEFFERSONIAN ATLANTA, GA.

A CASE IN POINT. Editors Weekly Jeffersonian: We had toll gate wars in Kentucky until we compelled people’s owner ship of turnpikes and made them free. I am looking for this railroad war to end the same way. JERRY MILLS. Lexington, Ky. •e PROVIDENCE PREVENTING. Editors Weekly Jeffersonian: The Lord is our helper. The neg roes are getting too lazy and mean to work in the fields. Overplanting and overproduction of cotton is being made providentially impossible. Thus does divine wisdom overrule the folly of foolish farmers. R. C. COSTIN. Houston, Texas. A CAPTAL PLAN. Editors Weekly Jeffersonian: It seems to me that Farmers’ Unions should take advantage of the summer to hold picnics and rallies to get every farmer possible into the unions before crop marketing time this fall. I. C. MURPHY. Columbus, Miss. MANY ARE SO OWNED. Editors Weekly Jeffersonian: Is it known that some of our news papers in the south that we farmers have been supporting so many years are owned by the railroads? We think there are some so owned or controlled here in Alabama. How is it in Georgia? L. M. BLAND. Jefferson Co., Ala. ENDORSE WATSON’S SPEECH. We, the Farmers’ Union of Stinson Union, Meriwether county, do indorse $2,000,000 of Water. The Georgia Railway and Electric Company of Atlanta adds $2,000,000 to its stock, divided among its present stockholders. The issue is pure spring water. It calls for $120,000 more divi dends annually to be assessed on At lanta street car travel and electric light users. It is a re-enforcement against the movement for municipal ownership of the company’s property and franchises. Here is where the At lanta city council could get very busy in the people’s interest, if it had not been largely elected by the company’s officers, employes and campaign funds. Atlanta seems to be the worst corpor ation throttled city in the south, if not in tlie whole nation. His colleagues presented Grosvenor with a silver dinner service set, but Charlie is sitting on the white house steps waiting for Teddy to put him where he can get the dinners.

Both are in interest of the or ganized farmer. Third. That we invite Mr. Watson at some convenient time this year to address the Farmers’ Union of this county. Fourth. That we send a copy of these resolutions to the Union News and Watson’s Jeffersonian for publication. B. S. CLEMENTS, Sec. •e THEY CAN DO IT. Editors Weekly Jeffersonian: I am much concerned to see two cent fares granted by the general as sembly of Georgia. The railroads say such a rate would be ruinous to them, but as one who has had railroad ex perience I figure that the increased travel at two cents per mile "would more than overcome the loss per mile and the increased cost of operating the trains, which is slight as between empty and loaded passenger trains. Push on the crusade in your own vig orous fashion. B. F. P. Macon, Ga. ■ WE CAN SUPPLY THEM.
