to lead its national ticket. Upon the
assurance that his acceptance would
mean a combination ticket OF Bryan
and Watson. the union Of all the re-
form elements, and the harmonious
political action of the south and west,
Mr.. Watson reluctantly accepted the
nomination which he had not sought.
He soon realized that he had been
deceived, and that he was leading a
forlOrn hope He publicly denounced
the national executive committee OF
his party with having sold out the
party for a small mess of patronage,
and retired from the canvass lie
then devoted himself to the practice
of law for several years to restore his
finances; and, this having been done,
began to give his time exclusively to
literature and to lecturing.
While editing newspaper Mr..
Watson began to write historical
sketches to illustrate political doc
trines. The work grew on him and his
purpose broadened until his first book,
and the one which aroused immediate
interest, "The Story of France" was
evolved. His point of view was seen
to be novel. History usually concerns
itself with kings and battles. Macau-
lay went farther and treated national
movements and the influence of par
ties. Green, going step beyond
| Macaulay, treated of the people. But
Green stopped far short of what Mr.
Watson believes should be accepted
as the true scope of history He holds
that no work of the life of a nation
can be complete which does not real.
ize that the statute book in its widest
meaning is the people.
Unless he is grievously in error Mr.
Watson believes that the world is rea

will understand the effect of laws, a.
well as Of hattles-will understand
the influence OF system, as well Al
the influence of a man. In "The Stor,

ants and converted the house into his
literary workshop.

holdings. In McDuffie and adjacent
counties he owns some 10000 acres of
land which bring him IN a revenue of
approximately $4,000 a year.
Prior to the publication of his two
most conspicuous works, Mr.. Watson
had already attracted attention by
several pamphlets dealing with vari-
Gus characters of French history. The
story Of how he came to be interested
in this phase of history is best told
in his own words and will be Of in

In order TO reproduce a painting in
