Watts Had Company
Western Carolina Democat. Hendersonville.
A labored effort is being made
to create an impression that
Collector A. D. Watts is the only
Federal office holder who attends
political conventions or partici
pates in the conduct of partisian
affairs. Those who disagree
with Mr. W'atts upon some mat
ters of political import have
been seeking to make the Col
lector the sole offender of Presi
dent Wilson's appointees be
cause he dared to exercise the
privilege and right of attending
the recent Democratic State con
vention and voting his convic
tions. But he had plenty of
company. The collector for the
Eastern District, Hon. Josiah
William Bailey, was on the
ground and spoke loud and long
before members of the platform
commute as the representatr e
of the progressive meeting held
a few weeks previous. But not
a word of criticism do we hear of
Mr. Bailey. Hon. W. C. Ham
mer, District Attorney of the
Western District, had the hardi
hood to appear as a delegate and
voted his county fcr the minority
report on platform. His action,
to, has escaped notice. The
Honorable Francis D. Winston,
United States Attorney for the
Eastern District, participated
actively in the proceedings. cNo
objection has yet been rendered
against him. Marshal Webb
went down from Asheville to ex
ercise his privilege as a demo
cratic citizen of North Carolina
in the convention and was re
elected a member of the State
Democratic Executive Commit
tee. He has, so far, been per
mitted to "rest in peace." And
then there was Marshal Dortch,
of the Eastern District, Hon.
Clyde R. Hoey, assistant at
torney for the W estern District.
Hon. Ernest M. Green, assistant
attorney for the Eastern District
and a number of minor bene
ficiaries of President Wilson's ad
ministration, who have not been
made subjects of ridicule.
Evidence is lacking to justify
the suggestions of critical indi
viduals that Collector Watts was
more active in the convention
than other Federal officials on
the ground. The attempt to
make Mr. Watts the "scape
goat" is made for the deliberate
purpose of creating strife
amongst democrats, in the hope
of fostering Rooseveltism upon
the people of North Carolina.
Mark the prediction and keep an
ear to the ground.
Enemies of the democratic
party are laboring industriously
to create the impression that it
has a boss. Marion Butler and
his henchmen related a similar
story along in the early nineties
and succeeded in their purpose of
dividing the party. Butler and
his gang rode into power and
darkness hovered over the State.
The wicked ruled and the people
moaned for four long, dreadful
years. The men who are now
dubbed as "bosses" determined
m loJS tnat wreck ana ruin
should cease in North Carolina
and united in dethroning the de
ceivers and plunderers, whose
disgraceful conduct had brought
the State into disrepute. Shall
the democrats of North Carolina
so soon forget the experience of
those troublesome times and be
come exercised to the point of
dividing over petty matters of
party policy? Criticisms of Mr,
Watts by republicans and inde
pendents are not offered out of
any love for the State or regard
for the Democratic party. Abuse
of the Collec torts a part of a de
liberately planned scheme to dis
credit the Democracy and create
dissentions in the ranks. While
leading the fight for temperance
reform in the Legislature of 1901,
Mr. Watts was all right. He
was boss of the situation and did
the job well. The prohibitionists
lauded him "to the skies" and
the antis declared him to be a
mean dictator." His views

Copyright, 1914. by Panama Pacific International Exposition Company.
Upon entering the main gates of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition from San Francisco the visitor
will find he must traverse a vast stretch of landscaped grounds, -wherein are set millions of beautiful flowers In
bloom, where fountains play and groups of statuary are set at intervals. This Is the great South Gardens. The
photograph herewith shows the South Gardens as they are today and gives a glimpse of the fairyland which will
delight exposition visitors. Thousands of rare trees, palms and shrubs have been brought from all parts of the
world for the landscaping, which Is carried on in that sumptuous way which the semi-tropical climate of California
permits. There have been brought to San Francisco giant tree ferns from Australia, rhododendrons from England
and West Virginia, tulips from Holland, banana plants from Hawaii and Central America. Large trees, some of
them more than sixty feet in height and of great girth, have been transplanted to the grounds. The Panama-Pacific
International Exposition opens in San Francisco in February, 1915. ,

majority sentiment prevailing in
the State, upon the temperance
question, and reflected those of
the veiy men he is accused of
representing in political matters
to-day. But he was all right at
that time and professes no
change of heart now. Yet he is
classed a political boss, who kills
and makes alive; a machine poli
tician and a menace to progress
ive government. He has been
selected as the target of the op
position to the genuine old brand
of democracy handed out by the
recent Democratic State conven
tion. His comrades in arms on
that -eventful occasion, Josiah
Williams Bailey, William C. Ham
mer, Charley Webb, Clyde R.
Hoey, Ernest Green, Frank
Winston and "Bill" Dortch, are
all fine fellows and deserving of
no abuse. But Colonel Watts is
a stubborn dictator because he
mildly submits to the charge that
he is just a plain Democrat.
Criticisms of Mr. Watts, to be
effective should be consistent.
i He. is not the only Federal office
holder who holds membership on
the State Democratic Executive
Committee; he is not the only
prominent Democrat who enter
tains views m accord with the
majority sentiment expressed by
the hundreds of delegates at the
Democratic State convention.
And their conclusions were
reached without instructions
from anybody. To say they were
handled by a boss, like so many
cattle, is a base reflection upon
their intelligence and indepen
dence. The Democratic party in
North Carolina needs no boss and
has none. But it may truly boast
of many capable loaders who
have kept the rudder true and
made the State rich and power
ful. Where corruption and de
bauchery once stalked abroad in
the land peace and prosperity
now reigns supreme. No boss
brought order out of chaos. The
task was accomplished through
the leadership of men like W. T.
Crawford, F. M. Simmons, R. B.
Glenn, C. B. Aycock, Locke
Craig, Lee S. Overman, W. W.
Kitchin, A. D. Watts, Josephus
Daniels, Joseph P. Caldwell, W.
C. Dowd, Cyrus B. Watson and
scores of Democratic leaders that
might be named. The suggestion
of any man bossing the North
Carolina Democracy is ridiculous.
It cannot be done by any one or
any fifty men. The people are
attending to that and suggestions
to the contrary are far-fetched.
Be not deceived.
Edwin Y. Webb.
Washington Times, July 20th.
With the appointment of Ed
win Yates Webb as chairman of
the Judiciary Committee, the
seat at the head of the great law
bench of the House will be occu
pied by the youngest man that
has ever occupied that post. Mr.
Webb is only forty-two years old,
and has been in Congress since
he was thirty-one.
He takes the place once held
by Jenkins of Wisconsin, a Re
publican standpatter of the
worst type; later held by Clayton
of Alabama, a Democratic stand
patter of corresponding quality.
Webb is a real liberal among
Democrats. Born a decade after
the civil war started, he lives in
the present, not a past era. He
is one of the kind of Democrats
whose leadership is more and
more needed by their party. It
is gratifying to see recognition
given to men of the Webb type,
no matter to what party they belong.
New Demonstrator In Cabarrus.
Concord. E. S. Mlllsaps, district
supervisor of farm demonstration
work, has appointed R. D. Soodman
of No. 4 townShfp, firm demonstra
tion agent for CabarTus county. Mr.
Jackson of Tennessee was recently
appointed to the position but notified
the department that he could not
serve. Mr. Goodman Is a son of Mr.
Caleb Goodman, one of the best
known farmers In the county. He is a
graduate of A and M. College and Is
a capable and energtlc young man.
Fire at Lexington.
Lexington. The Patterson Lumber
Company lost $30,00 worth of lumber,
mostly hardwoods, by fire recently at
the yards south of the city. The orig
in of the fire is unknown. It may
have started from defective electric
wiring, as the fire was discovered in
the corner of the yaids, near where
the electric light wires run down from
a transformer and under a tramway,
or it may have resulted from the com
bustion of a careless smoker's match
or cigarette stub and a pile of trash.
Other Powers Will See to Make Prob
able War Strictly an Austro-Ser-vian
One.
Berlin. Important conferences
were held at Potsdam between the
German emperor, the imperial chan
cellor, Dr. Von Bethmann-Hollweg,
and the stratesic heads of the army
and navy to determine definitely the
Gorman policy 5n the crisis.
The British and French ambassa
dors, Sir Edward Goschen and Jules
Cambon, called on the minister of
foreign affairs, Herr Von Jagow, with
communications from their govern
ments. Authentic information has
been received in Berlin that Russia,
though not mobilizing her army, is
taking certain precautionary military
measures.
Runs on savings banks by small
depositors in various parts of Ger
many were the outstanding features
of the day, which despite the first
bloodshed of the Austro-Servian con
flict, registered a slight but distinct
increase in optimism regarding the
situation.
The British ambassador made no
concrete proposals. It Is understood
he told the German foreign minis
ter that Great Britain's object was
not to Intervene In the Austro-Servian
controversy but sought a basis
on which Great Bcitain, France and
Germany by action at Vienna and
St. Petersburg, could prevent the
spread of the conflict
The French ambassador proposed
that Germany use her influence at
Vienna in view of moderation. He
was informed Germany was willing
to let the other powers try but as
Austria's ally she could not Interfere
with Austria's freedom of action.
The official announcement of Rus
sia that no mobilization of her army
had been ordered was supplemented
by trustworthy Information from
Warsaw that among the precaution
ary military measures taken were the
withdrawal of troops In Poland from
the immediate frontiers of Germany
and Austria for concentration in the
Interior; the recall of the Russian
troops from their summer camps.
Vlllareal Says Catholic Activity Has
Been Yoke to Mexico. "
Tampico, Mexico. A decree limit
ing the scope of the Roman Catholic
church in the state of Nuevo Leon on
the ground of "public health, moral
ity and justice," was Issued by Anto
nio L. Villareal, governor and mili
tary commander. He said:
"During the life of the nation the
church has been a pernicious factor in
disruption and discord and has en
tirely forgotten its spiritual mission."
The most drastic feature of the de
cree is the prohibition of confession.
Villareal gives as his reason for this
the charge that the confessional and
the sacristy in Mexico have become
a menace to morality.
Would Reward Workers.
Washington. Reward for officers
who had charge of Panama Canal
work is proposed in Representative
Dent's bill favorably reported by the
Military Affairs Comm!' tee. It would
extend the' thanks of Congreaa to Col
onel George W. Goo'hals, Brigadier
General William C. Gorgas, Col. H. F.
Hodges, Lieutenant Colonel William
L. Sibert and Commander H. H. Rous
seau, a naval civil engineer. The
measure would authorize the Presi
dent to appoint Colonel Goethals and
General Gorgas major general.
Raise Suffrage Funds.
Washington. Arrangements for
converting into coin the donations of
old gold and silver that are being
made to help in the "votes for wo
men" campaign have been made by
the National Woman Suffrage Asso
ciation. The fund realized by this "melting
pot" plan is to be used In the suf
frage campaigns In Montana, Nevada,
North and South Dakota, Nebraska,
Missouri and Ohio. The women hope
It will amount to $50,000.

Calomel Causes No Re

It is a mistake to take calomel
when your liver is lazy and
needs toning up. Hundreds of
people in this section have dis
covered that Dodson's Liver Tone
is - a thousand times better and
safer and its action is just as
sure. There are none of the bad
after-effects of calomel to Dod
son's Liver Tone and no danger
of salivation.
For attacks of constipation or
biliousness one or two spoonfuls
of this mild, pleasant tasting
vegetable liquid are enough and
Leslie's Drug Store gives a per
sonal guarantee that every bottle
will do all that is claimed for it.
Money back in any case where it
fails.
Dodson's Liver Tone costs only
50 cents for a large bottle. Re
member the name because there
are any number of remedies sold
in imitation of Dodson claims.
Some of them have names very
similar to Dodson's Liver Tone
and are in same color package.
These imitations are not guar
anteed and may be very harmful.
Go to Leslie's Drug Store and
you will surely get the genuine.
