bodys name with his could safely
be described as beautiful.
Some of the most savage abuse
which it has ever been my lot to
bear was heaped upon me by those
who assumed that, because l was
connected with Colonel Mann, my
character was as bad as his
Offered $4,000 by Hearst.
Continuing, Mr.. Watson calls at
tention to an offer of $4,000 made
him to edit Mr.. Hearst's paper, The
American, and says he was offered
$500 a month to edit the new paper
of Colonel Mann's. He says he
sometimes had to advance money to
pay the postage on the magazine and
furnished six times as much copy as
was required under the contract, for
all of witch he never received red
cent.
Mr.. Watson states that in No
vember, 1905, he went to Colonel
Mann's palatial residence and de-
manded one-half OF the $4,000
claimed to be due him on salary
account. Colonel Mann wrote next
day postponing payment until next

Statement as to WatsOn's Wealth.
Mr. Watson's interview continues:
Colonel Mann says: Watson is
a very rich man. He owns 10000
to $4,000 acres of land
Il regret to report that such is
not the case But if it were, it
would hardly reconcile me to the
proposition that l must spend the
balance of my life working for Col
onel w. D. Mann.
Colonel Mann further says:
Watson still owns $4,000 of the
stock
Just so. And it is worth exact
Iy as much as the $4,000 claim
which l hold against Colonel Mann
for labor
'That stock has no value, never
did have any value, and was never
intended by Colonel Mann to have
any value"

Thomas E. Watson, who has sew
cred his connection with Watson's
Magazine, is out in a spicy interview
replying to the card of William D.
Mann, owner of Town Topics, and
the majority stakeholder in Wat
sons Magazine. Colonel Mann S
statement, in which he referred to Mr..
Watson in rather severe terms, was
published on October IA. Mr.. Wat
son gives his side of the case in an
interview furnished the press, in
which he declares

Der of lies packed into one statement
than Colonel w. d. Mann squeezed
into half column of The New York
World of October IA.
Colonel Mann says: He told me
that half a million people had voted
for him, which wasn't so, as l found
out afterwards
Never did | make any statement
whatever to Colonel Mann as to the
number of votes l had received. Our
interview was held about two weeks
after the election, and every we'll
informed child in America was fla
miliar with the election returns.

Colonel Mann says: That thing

mighty beautiful advertising for

'That-thing' was mismangei
by Colonel Mann from the very start
and may have cost him some money
The business manager whom he pat
into the office had been a coal dealer,
had never had a days experience in
a publishing business, and the con-
fusion which soon reigned in our
business affairs was an inevitable re-
suit.
Colonel Mann would not allow
me to control the business depart

rect all the mistakes made therein.
''As to the beautiful advertising

there is room for doubt-not as to

been appointed county judge to sue
coed Judge w. A. Scott, recently re-

while not unlocked for, is no less

He will continue the pratice of law

has been so uniformly successful.
The new judge, Col. j. D. Rambo,
is also a lawyer of experience and
ability, and this branch of the coun-
tvs legal affairs will be perfectly safe
in his hands. With Solicitor Tur-
