Hon. Thomas f. Watson was in Macon
for a short while yesterday on his way
home to Thomson.

was reticent about politics-in fact, he
seemed, reticent about everything and
was not sociable little bit He appeared
to be a man who only wanted himself for
a companion. No one else seemed able
TO interest or entertain him
what about politics. was the direct
question put to Mr.. Watson, i spite his
dnideut and evasive manner.
I'm not talking politics these days, " was
the reply. I'm trying to make a living
for my family"
But what do you think Of the outlook
for the coming election
"Other people must do the thinking I'm
not taking any part in politics. I tried
to save the country once. but soon found
that the people did not want it saved and
I'm done"
Further than this the erstwhfe leader
of the Populist party would say nothing.
and in order to stop any further question

manner was such as to Indicate that he
was really and truly permanently out OF

TREATMENT OF MAI. WRIGHT.

The New York Age, Sept. 30: I write
to correct the impression created by a
report sent out from Brunswick. Ga, some
days ago ~ regard 10 the treatment Of
Mai. R. R. Wright by a certain Texas
regiment. The South is responsible for a
good many sins, but this special sin charg-
ed up against the South. so far as Maj.
Wright is concerned, is without fouuda-
ton. The despatch was evidently manu-
featured by this Texas regiment for the
purpose OF home consumption.
II vas my pleasure AMI privilege to be

visit through South Carolina and Georgia,
and I took special pains to note the man.
ner in which he was treated by the various
Southern regiments he was engaged in
paying of. I saw Maj. Wright Immediately
after he had finished paying the troops at
Brunswick and he stated to me that ne
was treated with the utmost couI -esy by
both officers and men while he was per-
forming his duty as paymaster; that the
nearest action bordering upon discourtesy
was in the case of one or two off ars who
came in his presence in the paymaster's
tent with their caps or, but when he called
caps were removed at once. In Columbia,
s. C., I was with Maj. Wright Oh The
streets and I took especial pains TO see
how ne would be treated by the South
Carolina troops whom he met on the
streets in Columbia and in no instance
while I was with Maj. Wright did any
OF the privates fail 10 salute him in the
proper manner. As soon as the colonel o.
the South Carolina regiment heard that
Maj Wright had reached Columbia, 10
caEed al his residence and paid his ne-
speets, and the next morning came in and
drove Maj. Wright out TO camp, where he
paid the regiment and was treated with
proper courtesy by both officers and men.

LEES BIRTHDAY.

To-day is the birthday of Gen. Rober {
Edward Lee, one of the greatest generals
the world has ever known, and one
whose memory will ever lee held dear to
the hearts of the Southern people. For

fought nobly, and though defeated he is

queror. The place ZEE holds in the hear t
of the South has been fifty voiced by H..
Linsday Gordon, of Virginia. in an adj.
dress delivered ut Atlanta in 1923 on
Lees birthday. Referring to the belief
in England that Arthur still lives, he
said:

enchanted palace where his body rests are
the blue mountains of his native land, its
dome the skies above. But the royal and

the shadows of defeat unto the place of
victory, where, we believe, the knowl
