A dtHjMitcU from Louisville, Ky.. says llenry Watterson wus the principal speaker at a Democratic rally la the Masonic Thoatre Thursday night. As this was Mr. Wntterson'a lirst political speech since 189*2, and wttt prohabiy bo his only platform utterance duriug the present campaign, much interest was manifested. Ho spoke in part as follows: "I truly rejoice that I huvo lived to look upon a reunited Democracy, f was born in a Democratic camp daring what proved a had year for Democrats, and attained my majority fast in time to see the party go over Ibo precipice of sectionalism to w ha I iM**ncd Its ruin.

"I behold now an almost reproduction of the evil condition of fifty years ago. The Republican party, grown corrupt and arrogant, is putting forth a tremendous effort to retain the power wh.ch It has hi much abused. If It succeeds it wi;l never surrender It. short of some dli^o oat a sly s m, making its "exit the signal for, It may bo, a civil war. To that all Its policies of militarism, favoritism and class distinction have long boon tending. I pray Clod that this may never come. The way to avert it Is by occasional change .?f party, bringing homo to our pulmc men their subordination to the people. . "If [ were a Republican I should vate for Bryan. If I were a Republican I should lot the chief with Ms 'big stick' go hang. If I were a Republican I should turn my back a a candidate, no matter how perHoaaily acceptable, who represents the vicious mothods of ring rule and tho stoaui rollor. "Whatever usefulness tho Repubiiii?n nnrtv lknuMOMMftd It has for tne time outlived. It. Htanda today a menace to equal taxation and economic administration, if not to orderly government and free institutions. Ita leaders know this and knowing It. they began early to prepare for the coming Providential battle ,to fortify a Held which they thought t ? make impegrnable by the outlay of vast resources and enduring skill. "They expected to draw us into this bloody ambuscade and to slaughter us like sheep in the shamble.; Disappointed iu their plan, what, do we now see? We see all UlsguUe of decency thrown aside; the black flag of trustism run up to the masthead; the docks crowded with corporation counsel. The occupant of the Whito House summons the unspeakable Hearst as his star witness. Tho honest rich are invoked to make oommou cause with tho lawless rlcn. All the perspective of truth and soberness and common sense are lost amid the roar of rant and cant ol wolf-glorifying laudation and self accusing promises of reform, with Aldrich and Caunon, with Payne and Dal/sdl and Bunny Jim Shorman for their examples. , "Having pitched the campaign on a falHo notes starting out with a man of straw on a platform of lmpojtaro, no argument Is too absurd, no Illustration Is too rank for the men and the Interests that do not mean to be dislodged !f fraud and force can save them." Referring to a reported speech of Congressman Longworth at Rock Island, III., where R whh alleged thav. Mr. Longworth spoke of President Roosevelt as successor of Taft as President eight years hence, Mr. Watte rsoo said: "Nicholas Longworth, the Prosl deal's Hon-in-iaw, says 110 mu n<n It.

Tin1 Republican party has been in powor twaive years and Juih fore e?i upon the country an iniquitous tariff (the cause of all our trust trouhlo), and now only because of public clamor it promises a "revision." 2. Republican administrations have constantly boon more and inoro wasteful of tho public funds. 3. Because ovory trust in tho country is arrayed on the side of the Republican party. Why? 4. Because wo are tired of Speak er Cannon overriding the will of the people who elect what they intend to be their representatives in congress. 5. Because the Provident after issuing a loud warning to all his oflicer holders to keep out of pi lilies during the campaign, is tho principal and worst violator of his own rule. G .Because the President was not honest in his answer to Mr. Bryan. 7. Because the President has created or attempted to create a crown prince. 8. Because we believe lu guaiantee of bank deposits. 9. Because of the hypocritical attitude of tho Republican platform on publicity of campaign contributions. We shall vote for a Democratic governor because in case a kind Providence should remove one or both of the "dead ones" occupying the New York seats in the United States senate who will assist Mr. Bryun. We shall vote for Democratic members of the Legislature for the same reason. And wo shall vote for Democratic congressmen. THOMAS ENDICOTT. New York, Sept. 3 0.

L M Mt - FIGHT SAN JOSESCALE ULEMHON EXPERT HEN 1)8 OUT INFORM ATI ON. l'w? of WJutfr Sprays (he Only Means by Which the* Fruit Tree IN'nt Can bo Rronght Under Control. Mr. A. F. Conradf, entomologist of tho Houth Carolina Experiment Station, ha.s given the following informat and directions for farmers concerning the Jose scale-which 1h so Injurious to fruit ticca j In cotton Mentions: The season Is rapidly approncching when we must be seriously eouI sidering the question of San Jose | scalo control. It in *\ith winter [sprayH only that this pest can l>e i brought under subjection, and these | must be applied when the trees lire dormant and leafless. Although the Insect Is very resistant and any spray sufficiently penetrating to kill the insect. uudor tho scale; if applied in summer It would kill <'he trie. In this article wo consider the essentials of a good spray pump and the grades or Ingredients. Blundering when purchasing the equipment and material may make spraying expensive and unprofitable. "In selecting a spray pump the orchardlst must he governed bv the* circumstances. Cheap tin or copper pumps cannot bo used for this spray nor do we recommend knapsack pumps for this puropse. A substitute pump with brass working parts should he secured. It should be fitted with 'Aft fi-M.t ?\f Iwicn ot.,i 1 n case of largo trees an extension rod should ho uuod so that all parts of the tree can bo reached. Idphl oxtonslou rods can ho imrchased from any dealer In spraying apparatus or a serviceable one can bo made of pas pipe with threads cut at each end to fit hose and nozzle. Where only a few trees are to he sprayed tho end of the hose containing the nozzle may he fastened to a pole, and in this manner the tops of trees can be reached. In all spraying operations with lime-sulphur wash a Vonnorel or misty nozzle should bo used. These nozzles throw cone-shaped, misty spray and do not become leaky. A Bordeaux nozzle is unsatisfactory, as it soon becomes leaky. When buying Vermorel nozzola, they are generally supplied with several caps having holes of different sizes. The medium-size hose, which la about 1-16 inch in diameter, is best adapted for spraying this wash. Where only a few trees are to be sprayed, a bucket-pump, costing about $8, will answer ths puropse. In orchards of one hundred o<* more trees, a barrel-pump, costing from $15 to $20, is recommended It may be fitted with two leads of hoso, tho barrel having a capacity of fifty gallons, thus economizing time and labor. Tho 1-2-lnch four-ply hose Is generally used. It costH about 10 to 12 cents a foot. Tho best quality hose costs about 16 cents, and is the cheapest in the end. A wire-wound hose, although heavier, will stand more abuse, as well as a much higher pressure. Kvory barrel pump should ho provided with a good agitator as well as an air chamber sufficiently largo to insure steady pressure. When tho working parts of the pump are above the barrel or tank It prevents tho parts from becoming rusty and corroded. On the other hand, iis often desirable to have tho working parts in the barrel to facilitate getting around trees with low, spreading branches. For large orchards of sovoral thousand trees, the pumn iu nn n nmnnn ? ... ...uuuwu v Li it nn^uu 11111IV Ul three hundred gallons capacity. Such a tank costs al>out $15. A double action pump is recomrnende<i for this equipment in all capes. "It is recommended that calcium lime ho used in all cases as magnesium lime does not unite so well with tho sulphpr and furthermore it often contain lumps that will not slake. Such lumps are a nuisance when proparlng tho wash. Any grade ot lime that does not hike completely is undesirable. Great care should be taken to avoid the lime becoming air slake. Whore it must be kept on hand for some time it is well to sake it and keep it covered with water in a pit. "The two grades of sulphur used I in making this wash are 'flour' and unwio, uum tllf HiillKItlO tory, hut as 'flour' !a about 50 per , cent cheaper it is recommended. I There are other brands of sulphur 1 in the market, but frequently are lumpy and undesirable unless ground before using. The price in small quantities should not exceed 5 cent?

CAUGHT HIM AGAIN TEDDY TAKEN TO TASK BY JUDGE Pill EST. Who Hays Roosevelt's Frioud and Not Him Wiu? Standard Oil Attorney in Missouri. In his laat rejoinder to Mr. Bryan, in the debate growing out of the case of Governor Haskell, President Roosevelt responded to .Mr. Bryan'a challenge to "uaine a aingle oftlcial connoted wltn a law-defying corporation" who had declared or will declare that ho la aupportiug Mr Bryan, by quoting from a St. Louie paper an interview with Judge Henry Priest, of St. Louis, who, according to the President, represented the Watera-Pierce Oil Company, the Western auhaldnry to the Standard Oil Company, in which he stated that ne would support Bryan. Judge Priest has taken notice of (he matter in an interview in The St. Louis Republic, and his statement illuminates a little more Mr. Roosevelt's recklesanees of hia own exposure when ho lays about among bis enemies. Judge Priest says that he ia not nor has he ever been an odlciul of the Watera-Pierce company, nor or any other oil company. In 19 04, he states, his firm was retained by H. C. Pierce to represent his minority iuteresl in the company in u suit instituted by the Attornov General of Missouri against the Standard Oil Company, aa the holder of the majority Interest in the W\tera-Pierco Coinnanv. Th? stnnHo?..i Oil Interest in tho suit, he states, was represented by tho flriu of Finkelnberg, Nngel & Kirby. While the suit was ponding, says Judge Priest, President Roosevelt appointed ?ir. Finkelnborg Unit y. 1 States district judge . Mr. Nagel, continuing nu senior member of tno tir*\ and representing tho Standard Oil's interests, is now Kepuoitcnn nac?oir?l committeeman for -sour! and o engaged actively in t..o management of Judge Tuft's campaign ior c... Presidency. Senator Foraker has pointed out that Judgo Taft recommended to tho President the appoint ment of a Standard Oil attorney 'n Ohio to the kedoral bench, and .fudge Priest has now shown that the Prondent actually appointed an oil truct representative to tho hone., in Missouri, while a suit against tho company, which ho was defending, w q ponding, and that anotner member of the same firm ?s and has been : ? a long time prominent in Kopuuiican party afTairs in Missouri. Tho Charleston Evening Post says ' for every remote affiliation with the trusts Mr. Roosevelt has attempted i to show against the Democratic party there has been uncovored a hundred-1 fold greater and closer association1 with the Republican party. Even in the case of Qovornor Haskell it was shown that the protection nf the Standard Oil which Mr. Rooseve't cited agalnat the Oovornor na proof of hla control by such interests, was originally Instituted by the President, himself, during the territorial regime in Oklahoma. In the very nature of things It nocessarlly follows thst such developments must result from an exposition of the trust situatlo.i In Its relation to public affairs, for the Republican party is and has been for years, and especially during the trust growing period, in almost undisputed control of the country's affairs, and whatever advantages are enjoyed by theso great corporations against the public interests are due to the complaceucy of the party in power. I This is so inevitable and so utterly beyond dispute that it is utterly futile and fatuous for the President or any other protagonist of Judge Taft to attempt to argue it otherwise,but it is peculiarly brazen in Mr. I Roosevelt, who has had intimate associations with trust magnates and lifted laws for their Ixmotit and appointed their agents to high offices, who is, in fact, surrounded with the representatives of such interests and obligated to them enormously for financial support to his candidates But Mr. Roosevelt has wie'dod absolute authority so long and has become so accustomed to have his lightest won! prevail against tie, moflt solemn truths from other sources, that he has thrown himself Into the campnlgn melee without regard to consequences, and he can not yet understand how It is that he is covered with wounds. If he continues his participation in the campaign at close range the Roosevelt legend is likely to be hacked to |?lec3s by the enemies lie is ktcklug up from every hush. SUICIDE IN POLICE STATION. Young Woman Prefers Death to Trial in a (knirt. Rather than be tried in the police court on the charge of violating the city ordinance in appearing in a public restaurant, at Spartanburg, Jeannette Walker, a young white woman while a prisoner in the police station. She went to the lavatory to bathe her face and drank the contents of a bottle containing carbolic acid, dying within ten minutes after drinking the poison. She formerly lived near Duncan, and was highly educated, being a graduate of a well known female college in this State. GLAD TO BET BACK ill SOUTH CAItOLJNA IS A SWKKT TAItODISK Comparted to RprinKficId, Illinois, Said uu Old Colored Woman Wlw la Coming Hack. At the union depot, 8unday afternoon, waiting for a train to Augusta, was a negro woman who wa? on her way to some point In South Carolina, says the MacoD, Ga., Telegraph. While in the waiting room she fell to talking to some of the negroes in the room with her, and i from the conversation It was learned j that ffhe was from Springtleld, 111 . j and was returning to her old South ; Carolina home. She said that seven years ago her people went to Springtleld, because they had been assured that the negro w-as more respected in that section of the country, and had every right that white people had. The children went to the same school, they ate nt the same ro3*.anranh, that there was no Jim Crow cars and that there was no distinction in anything 011 account of color. She said that to some cxunt they foiriu this to be true, but there was no 1 ~ * I t --- i cm 1111 \111f., ui nit; im c? im nisi wist', and they kept to themselves. They found that while it might he unde-- , stood that there was no distinction,) and that the white women called1 a negro woman Mrs. So-and-so, there was no such thing as calling socially, nnd but for the fact that they were there and could not get away they would have returned. In the recent trouble in Springfield the negroes were treated worse by the whites than they ever were in the South, and every negro who could sell out and move was leaving. This woman was threatened with whipping and her own family were compelled to leave. She does not know where they went, because in the confusion there was no mopping and hunting for kinfolks. She only knows tnat before the separation they all wanted to go bac.< to South Carolina, and she was going there, knowing that if alive they will sooner or later meet her there She said that down South, in South Carolina, or elsewhere, the mob went after the one negro. In Springfield they went after the whole hunch. In the South, she said, the 1 -l A- *? ucf^lU IlttU ilH KUUII CimilCt' HI II Vt* in safety and peace aa anybody, so in Springfield they were not only after the bad ones, but the good ones, too. No negro was safe, and she had noticed that this feeling against the negro wan growing stronger every year.

I One old negro woman sitting in the waiting room, who has been listening to the talk in silence, threw up her hand and rolled her eyes upward and exclaimed: "Ain't dat de trufe." , * Stole Whole Family. One of the most peculiar canes of larceny "after trust" on record was revealed at Annlston, Ala., when it. is alleged W. C. Irwin, .1 white man, was arrested on a charge of stealing the whole family of J. M. Humphreys, a white planter of Talladega county. It is alleged that Irwin had been living in seclusion with the woman and her three children in Annlston.
