I have taken some Nebraska and Colorado dates and places since my last week 1 letter. Wife and daughter joined me last week at McCook, Neb., and we went on to Colorado, liking in Boulder Chautauqua Saturday and Sunday. Boulder is one of the most delightful of the western towns, has a populations of ten thousand with an altitude of more than five thousand feet, and the rarest and, most health-giving atmosphere. I have made six visits to the Colorado Texas Chautauqua, which beautifully located one mile above Boulder, on a slope of the foot hill - of the Rockies This Chautauqua was inaugurated ten years ago by the Texas-Colorado people and has grown in crowds and strength etch successive year. It is here one meets Texas people in droves and platoons. And for social life and splen did company I tie the blues ribbon on Texas. There are hundreds of cottages and tents on the ground and they are full of people from all sections. The Chautauqua lasts pretty much through the months of July and August, and the list of platform talent is hardly sur passed by any of the institutions of like character. I heard Mr. Bryan there last Satur day afternoon in his lecture on "The Prince of Peace." It was a fine lecture, full of sense snd sentiment. He speaks to the thousands with ease and fluency and holds the attention of all. It was more of a sermon than lecture. His hard work is telling upon him. He looks ten years older than when J saw him Tatr only a few years ago. He is a great personage, an honest man and I believe a true patriot. I think he has dropped free silver out of his creed and stands for all else that he formerly advocated. I left wife and daughter Monday evening at the Brown Palace hotel, in Denver.. They are both charmed with Colorado and will spend the week down at Colorado Springs and join me here August 1. The travel to Colorado this summer exceeds all former years. The trains, the hotelB, the resorts, the aana toriums are all full and yet there seems room for all who come. Colorado is a great sanatorium at an) point you touch it. Tens of thousands of persons with tuberculosis are now in the State, and except these who have waited too long, are getting much better and the climate and atmosphere promises a complete recovery, Denver is a great city now and the best built up city in her hotels, her busijess and residences I think I ever saw, of $200,000 popu lation. The gold, silver, copper, lead, lino, iron and coal and fruits and vege tables of Colorado would make any state rich and its people prosperous. Everything is high out there. A family cook gets from thirty to fifty dol lars per month and the stuff they 000k- comes high. The Rocky Ford canta loupes, raised in Texas, are very fine and high. I was told they export the cantaloupes raised in Colorado and im port those raised in Texas, but they are good all the same. We took automobile rides around and through the city and perks, and it made me feel like a poor white man at frolic. I spent one day in Denver and left there a wiser and a poorer man. I am glad fo say that I noticed great i nprovement in the crops of the north west. 'Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Il linois now promise a bumper crop of corn, wheat and oats. I hear much talk of the black rust in the Dakotaa and Minnesota. All in all we will have "bread fcr the eater and seed for the sower." I see from cotton reports that the crops must be short, indeed they are 11 cents now, and we can afford a short crop at that price and have more money in the wind up thanwe could have had with a full crop. In any event the south is on top and promises to stay the re for vears to come. I have been nnable to keep up with the Georgia legislature. I notice by press dispatches that the Journal and the legislature have had a mix-up, and The Journal still doing busiuess at the same old stand. I don't advocate fighting, but at I told a fellow the otbtr day: If nothing else would do him but fight, I would keep the dies e ff of him bile the procession was moving. As a matter of choice I'd rather take a whipping than to taft some other tbings. But, don't fight any more, gentlemen; somebody might get hurt Then there will be regrets ana more re grets. I am so glad I am not in politics. I had rather "lead a quiet and peaceab'e life, in all godliness and sobriety." I hope the legislature will yet pass tha Australian ballot law, the anti jug law and the reform primary law. Do those things, gentlemen, then go home and you have done well. Fail to pass those three laws and if I were you I would be ashamed to go home. I'd just stay in Atlanta; you won't be lonesome there. I leave this afternoon for Ohio, where I shall attend several chautauquas; then back into Illinois and Iowa next week, The masses as I meet them everywhere seem to be happy and contented and I am sure this country is moving along with a healthy glow on every phase of her life. All products of farm and field, manu factories and merchandise seems to flow along with like uniform currents of the old Mississippi river, It look? more and more like President Roosevelt's peaoe conference between Russia and Japan would succeed. God grant that it may, for that war hat got down to where a dog fight gets when one dog is down hollering and the other dog on top biting and growling, I am gild the Japs are the dog on top. The hot wave seems to have passed away, I find at all points for the past week the weather is very pleasant Some times I need my overcoat, but never need a fan. I am now just half through my chautauqua season; been to thirty-three and - have thirty-three more ahead of me, and willwind up at Charlotte, N. C , Septembar 6, if my plans are carried out. Then I will be glad of a few days rest in old Georgia. Yours truly, Sam P. Jones P. 8. To the legislature I would say: Do right, gentlemen, at all cost I've been hunting some fellow for thirty years who had found something that would Leat doing right and have found only one and I met him about a month later, and he said that the thing bunted bad. S. P. J. The RUllenlum Ha Come. Ladles' Home Journal. An English lord was traveling through this country with a small party of friends. At a farm house the owner invited the party in to supper. The good housewife, while preparing the table, discovering she was entertaining nobility, was nearly overcome with sur prise and elation. All seated at the table, scarcely a mo ment's peace did she grant her distin guished guest in her endeavor to serve and please him. It was, "My Lord, will you have some ot this?" and "My Lord, do try that," "Take a piece of this, my Lord," until the meal was nearly finished. The little four-year-old son of the family, heretofore unnoticed, during a moment of supreme quiet saw his lord ship trying to reach the pickle-dish, which wss just out of his reach, turn ing to his mother said : "Say, ms, God wants a pickle." Didn't Know Wfcesi Be Wool Stop. Senator Pettus is an inimitable teller of darky stories. "One day a farmer in my State while in his barn observed his dog rush out and begin to bark furiously at a darky from a neighboring farm; The colored man at once took to his heels, although he had come to the barn on a matter of more or less importance. Some time later he returned and, making sure that no dog was about, entered the barn. " 'Why were you so frightened, Sam,' asked the farmer. 'Dan wouldn't have harmed you. Remem ber the old saying, "Barking dogs niver bite." " 'Dit's all right, sah,' responded the darky with much gravity,, 'you know dat an' I know dat, but when do either of ui know when dat confounded dog ii going' to stop bar kin' f". ' Fraud Expose. A few counterfeiters have lately been making and trying to sell imitations of Dr. King's, New Discovery for Consump tion, Coughs and Colds, and other med icines, thereby defrauding the public. This is to warn yon to beware of such people, who seek to profit, through steal ing the reputation of remedies which have been successfully curing disease, for over 86 years. A sure protection, to you, is our name on the wrapper. Look for it, on all Dr. King's, or Bucklen's remedies, as all others are mere imita- tations. H. E.

CbarlotU Observer. The indications are that the Tillman McLaurin fight in South Carolina has only been smouldering since the retire ment of McLaurin from the United States Senate, and that it is again breaking out. After leaving Washing ton, McLaurin returned to bis farm at Bennettsville and raised cotton and said nothing until the movement for the organization of the cotton-growers was inaugurated. He took the stump in that interest and has made a number of speeches, in the recent ones taking occasion to attack his old enemy, Senator Tillman, via the dispensary, which is once more a burning question if, indeed, it has ever been anything else. These attacks on Tillman have to some extent been answered by that in dividual, and the circumstances show that the enmity between these South Carolinians is as bitter as ever. Tillman is, to some extent, on the defensive in regard to the dispensary, and the revolt against the great moral insti tution in many sections in doubtless anything else but comfortable to the senior Senator. In the meantime ex Senator McLaurin is going about the State addressing the farmers mainly on the matter of organisation, and in cidentally giving Tillman a few raps thus placing himself in a position to tell Senator Tillman's adherents jutt what ha thinks of him a privilege until re cently denied McLaurin because of Till man's almost absolute control of the farmers. The Edgefield, B. C, Adver tiser, a paper that is described as a consistent enemy of McLaurin, but no lover of Tillman, although published in the Senator's home county, sums up the situation as regards the liquor question as follows: "We shall not be surprised if Johnnie McLaurin whips Senator Tillman into the prohibition camp next year. Ws have opposed McLaurin incessantly for fifteen years; we have rarely if ever agreed with him in any of his leading policies, but there is one thing about him he won't flunk. Once he is in he will stand fire. He can'be persuaded and cajoled; he cab. be led astray in a manner entirely discreditable to his in telligence, but he can't be bullied, and he can't be frightened. We do not mean that Senator Tillman can be frightened in a physical sense; we are not discussing that, but he will run to shelter when he sees a storm coming even if he has to take the back track, McLaurin is not smooth and smart like Tillman; nobody in these parts is as limber as he, and McLaurin has no better sense than to assert his man hood from time to time, whether it spells defeat or victory. If McLaurin makes hard fight for prohibition Tillman may join him and take the lead from him." Ex-Senator McLaurin is out fur Till man's scalp, and will doubtless be come a oandidate for the Senate or for Governor eie long in order to get it. It looks as though South Carolina wou'd see more lively times soon. The Only Tiling They I .e.

As the result of a trade, a man from Ohio came into possession ot a store it a small town in one of the rockiest of these sections. His first proceeding war was to take an inventory of the stock on hand. Much to his surprise, he found there was not a plow in the store. He immediately dispatched an order for a dozen plows to the nearest wholesale1 supply house, fifty or a hundred milef distant. The next day he "hitched up" and took a drive over the neighborhood, noting the general outlook and making inquiries among the residents. On returning to his store, he sent this message to his wholesale houes: "Cancel order for plows. Send me a ton of blasting powder."

He had been found guilty by a jury of his peers he was unquestionably guilty and the court had decreed that he must die two juries and the Supreme Court having reached this decision. As a last resort relatives asked Judge W. S. O.' B Robinson, the big hearted Irish lawyer as fine a man as ever breathed the breath of life and able in bis pro fession to see the governor and ask that the sentenos of death be commuted for one of life imprisonment. Without money to even defray expenses, the humane lawyer went from Goldsboro and Governor Glenn gave bim an audience. They went over the case weat over the human nature side of it, and it is said that the eyes of the lawyer and the Gosernor were both wet With tears. It was a pathetic scene buff the governor stood firm. He could not see why there should be trials and men convicted and then he be asked to set aside the verdict of courts. Bo Teachey was hanged. It is hard busi ness for a man aike Judge Robinson to turn down a woman who pleads that he see the governor so he mutt see him and it is hard business for the gover nor to say that he cannct interfere. One stroke of the pen would have saved the man's life but the life bad been forfeited and the governor knew his duty and performed it. If all men knew that a pull or per suasion: or money: or anything they might offer would not save them from the law's demands the chances are that there would be much less crime. And we are glad that North Carolina has a governor who will not interfere with the decision of courts unless there has been new evidence found or unless there is evidence that the accused and convicted did not have a fair and im partial trial. It means a purer atmos phere it means less lawlessness. Agonizing Barns are instantly relieved, and perfectly healed, by Bucklen's Arnica Salve. O.
