See Ee SS Watterson Recognizes | ‘Bryan a Chieftain. Henry Watterson, in Introducing * Mr. Bryan to 15,000 people at Lou 1 taville, Ky., said “T reeognize as our chieftain in this approaching conflict the Honorable William Jennings Bryan, of Ne- “Draska. “fteost me no eacratice either o! personal preference or pride of opin- A ion to make this declaration. Mr. : Bryan and | bave not always agreed ae to the means; we have never dis agreed as to the end. Theappeal to «the moral nature of the people, which he bse made with so much elo ~qQuence and power, | was making ~wrhen he was a boy. He grew to manhood under my teaching. Ifat ctimes I bave raised the warning ‘finger of the schoolmaster—even threatened the rod—he was big - gpough and old enough, and good- Jooking enough to stand it, and to survive it, and bas thrived in spite of it—maybe by reason of it, and, fn any event, bas quite outgrown it. “{, 400, have lived and learned apace, and one of the things I have fearned has been to look more to the objective point and less to nonessen- tial; in matters of difference to agree to disagree with my comrades and friends; on great occasions and dn great affairs to send all minor dif- ferences to the rear, the better to march abreast against the common memy, \ “We purpose to reform, not to revolutionize the Government. We urpore to reestablish Democratic ‘uetitotions in the nation’s capital, returping to the voters what belongs s.0 the voters, We purpose to drive from ‘he tloor of the Senate those who eit there, not as servants of the teople, but as corporation counsel, We purpose to drive from the floor ot tbe House the Speaker and the Ralee Committee, whe have made an autocracy of that which was created a legislative body. Ina word, we pxrp ove to readjust the lost balance “wesween the people and their law- makers. - “Our inry ts the nation; our proof tie record of the Republican party; aur witness, Theodore Roosevelt our attorney, Mr. ryan, of Ne- braska.’ Mr. Watterson’s speech touched off the pent-up enthusiasm almost at 4ie start, and when a% the close he pointed to Mr. Bryan and said, “Here he ie; God bless him and give him wisdom,” the audience yelled for dive minutes. North Carolina Owns a Railroad That is Profitable. Greensboro, N.C., sept. 17.—The zatlroad over which Mr. Bryan trav- led today and on which he will to- morrow continue his tour{le owned ‘ay the State of North Carolina and jeased to an operating company. The road pays the State 7 per cent, ; ‘the total sum being large enough to te meet the interest on the entire debt : af the State. The stock is now worth about $200 ashare, or double the par i walve, and ifthe State were to dis- ‘poee of ite railroad property at the ay anarket price, {t could, with the pro- % ceeds, wipe out the entireState debt. 4 The North Carolina government ) maintains 6 railroad auditor, who ; ‘keeps the books and collects the “f State's due. The road operates in { connection with the Southern. f. : When Mr. Bryan’s attention was % called to the State ownership of the - 2oad, he laughed and declined to dis- case ft, further than to say that he would look into the road's showing. y Big Oklahoma Corn Crop. ‘ary of agriculture of the territory of Oklahoma, Mr. McNabb, esti- ‘mates an increase in corn acreage of 35 per cent over last year.

Sedalia, Mo., Sept. 24.—Anexhibit and demonstration that will inter- est every fruit grower in thecountry and provea valuable object lesson to farmers on the necessity and efficacy of spraying as @ means of thwarting the insect pests and fun- gus diseases that prey upon apples and other fruit, will be made by the State Frult Experiment Station at the Missouri State Fair, September 29 to October 5. Director Paul Evans, of the Sta- tion at Mountain Grove, in co opera- tion with the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture, bas been con- ducting extended experiments to de- termine the possibility ofcontrolling fungus diseases, and they have prov- en so successful that he has reserved 100 equare feet of space in the Hor- ticultural Department at the fair in which to display all of the froit from six sprayed trees in the same plot. These will clearly demonstrate the codling moth and the most de- structive fungus diseases can posi- tively be controlled by means of spraying. Director Evans will also make a large collective exhibit of many va- rieties of commercial apples. RAGE RIOTS AT ATLANTA Sentences For Peonage.

The several men found guilty were permitted ba{l in the sum of $2,000 each. The defendants were all present and arose to receive the sentence.

There are several negroes dead and | probably 40 or 50 injured. The At-| lanta Constitution at an early hour Sunday morning asserted that 15 ne-! groes had been killed. The members| of the mob, or rather mobs, were wild with frenzy. | The mob began its work early Sat-| urday evening, pulling negroes from, street cars and beating them with} clubs, bricks and stones. Negro men; and women, Tiding to their homes af- ter the work of the day, were ruth- lessly torn from the cars or attacked on the streets. In a few cases ne- groes retaliated in the early part of the night, but after 10 o'clock there were few in public places. The fire department was called out to disperse the mob on Decatur street, a street most frequented by negroes, and for a time seemed to hold the crowd at bay. The police reserves were called out to hold the situation until the troops could be mobilized. The mob seemed to lack leadership, and this doubtless prevented great slaughter, Sunday passed without serious trou ble following the riots of Saturday night and Sunday morning. A meeting of citizens, bankers and business and professional men repre senting the best element of Atlanta citizenship was held here Sunday af- ternoon to consider the present em- ergency. Resolutions were adopted urging on the city council the enactment of laws closing negro dives, in which it was declared much of the crime among the negro classes has its origin, Closer restriction of saloons for both whites and Wlacks were demanded. The 17 companies of state militia were in complete control of the sit- uation Monday morning, All saloons were closed for the day under the or- der of the mayor. . Business has as- sumed normal conditions the street car schedules have been resumed, the schools are open as usual and pub- Me confidence is being restored under the energetic measures taken by~ the authorities, city, county and state, to maintain order. No further outbreak is’ anticipated. The authorities believe that they night passed without serious disturb- ances, although many people were on the streets until tate hours. The total number of dead is extremely difficult to estimate. The bodies have been taken away for it is equaily probable deaths have not been report YOU CAN’T KEEP A GOOD MAN DOWN. of the residence sections. The out- look Monday morning, therefore was encouraging and the passing of Sun- day night without serious trouble is considered a hopeful sign. The body of Zeb Long, a negro, was found hanging in the woods early Monday morning about half a mile west of East Point, a suburb eight miles south of Atlanta. Long was locked in the East Point jail charged with disorderly conduct. The jail was broken into shortly after mid- night and Long was taken to his doom, The usual mystery surrounds the affair. It is not known yet whether Long was suspected of any connection with any of the recent assaults on white women. The Plumber and the Match, Topeka, Kan., Sept. 24.—Fire start- ing from a natural gas explosion in the basement of the Crawford Opera house, a four story building at 612, 314 Kansas avenue, Monday morning, caused the destruction of the stock of the Moffat Furniture store, the Union Tea company, the theater and scenery and the household goods of several families. The loss is roughly astimated at $100,000 with $28,000 in- surance, Roy Disbrow, a plumber, aow in the hospital severely burned, went in the basement to search for a gas leak, lighting a match. The ex- | olosion which followed shook the en- tire block. New York Murder Mystery, New York, Sept, 24.—Another por- jon of the dismembered body, the corso of which was found Sunday in a pit at Eleventh Avenue and Thirty- sixth street was discovered by the police Monday. One of the thighs which were missing was found two blocks away. The police are engaged in searching for the head of the miss- (ng man and until that was found there is little hope of identifying the dody. The police were busy Monday also in trying to trace five men who were seen Saturday night beating a man in west Thirty-sixth street not far from the spot where the torso was afterwards found. Speaker Cannon in Missouri, St. Louls, Sept. 24.—Speaker Joseph &. Cannon passed through St, Louis Monday morning on his way to Se- dalia to begin a campaign tour through the state. “I am not a candidate for the presidency and there is no sych a bee in my head,” said the speaker, “When the next republican conven- tion meets ft will look over the re- cords of the men and will name the best man. { am out to do what I can with my little mite toward elect- ing republican members of congress to assure a republican house, for if the house is not republican there wil be little chance for a republican can- diidate to be elected president.” A Des Moines, In., Mystery.

Lawton, Ok., Sept. 24.—The first meeting of the Anti Saloon league of Comanche county since its organiza- tion was held lastnight at the Chris- tian church. It was the prevailing opinion that the prohibition clause should be ineerted in the constitu- tion and not left to a vote of the people after statehood. They will look to the two leading political parties to put up prohibition candi- dates for the constitutional conven- tion, and not until this is disregard- ed will the third candidate be brought out by them.
