OLD HICKORY.

He did so until Jackson had gotten
out of sight, when he called stout
soldier to him, and, picking up
stick said, you pull that arrow out,
or I'll use this stick on you'll The
arrow came, and General Houston res
entered the conflict.
"I have often felt the scar on the
rim of General Jackson 8 forehead,
which was inflicted by British Off
Ger in South Carolina when Jackson
was a boy of about thirteen. A squad
Of British took his family prisoners,
and one Of the officers asked his
brother, Bob Jackson, to black his
boots. Bob refused and was given a
blow that is thought to have caused
his death. Another officer asked An
drew to polish his shoes. He refused
and was struck on the forehead, but
he didn't black the officers shoes.
I have heard General Jackson speak
of his mother, who, he said, was a
most remarkable woman. Her name
was Elizabeth Hutchinson. She said
when she learned that Jackson was
going to read law that she never
wanted him to bring action for SLAM
der or for assault and battery. She
walked to Charleston, nearly 800
miles, to carry clothing for the sol
diers. She contracted the fever and
died there"
Judge Barry spoke of General
Jackson's racing proclivities, and re-
ferred to a celebrated race which took
place in Gallatin, and in which his
own father, DR.. Edmund Dillon Bar
ry, defeated General Jackson. He
also stated that he was present a few
years later when the father of Gov
ernor Cannon wagered and lost his
negroes to General Jackson, on a
horse race in Gallatin.
"The eloquent Tom Marshall, of
Kentucky, said that if Jackson had
turned his attention to oratory he
would have made as great a success
at it as he did at fighting"
The judge says he does not believe
that the watch-word of the British
at New Orleans was "Beauty and
Booty, as has been reported. His
own father, DR.. Barry, who was de-
scended from and related to MANY of
the nobility Of Ireland, was a friend
and classmate of General Packenham.
and believed him to have been too
thorough gentleman to have given
countenance to such a passport as
the above.

WHAT DOES TT ALL MEAN?

Hon. Thos. E. Watson recently
made a speech to large gathering
of the members Of the Farmers IN
ion in which he urged the Importance
Of that order charging its scope to
national organization. His idea
is doubtless for the Union to try its
hand in national politics, as the
Farmers Alliance did.
We have been casual reader of
the Union News, the official organ
Of the Farmers Union, and in that
paper Mr.. Watson has been given
about equal prominence with the OBJ
jects Of the organization.
We have also been a more or less
close reader of Mr.. Watson IS writ
ings, and he has given the Farmers
Union almost as much prominence in
his publications as he has Mr.. Wat
son.
In Mississippi John Sharp Will
iams charges Governor Vardaman
whom he defeated for tie United
States senatorship, received his
marching orders from Mr.. Watson.
The Atlanta Constitution, forget
ting the severe and caustic criticisms
of its editor last year by Mr.. Watson,
seems to be getting close to the
Dear Tom" stage again, and quotes
approvingly and follows docileIy the
editorial utterances Of Mr.. Watson 3
publications on some lines.
What does all this mean, anyhow? ?
In the absence Of specific information
we are somewhat cropping in the
dark. Is Mr.. Watson going to take
the endorsement of the Farmers Un-
ion, which he can have for the ask
ing, and enter the race for the pres
idency in the hope of forcing the
democrats to present him as the
Southern" candidate, like Mr..
Hearst is trying to force recognition
with his Independent league in New
York?
And III the event the Southern dem
ocrats fail to do this and present
some other man, will be run any
way, and with the comparatively few
thousand votes he controls insure The
defeat Of the democratic nominee,
whether he be Bryan or some South.

BROKE LOOSE IN GEORGIA.

D1oOAd GVON0 LIN 0AO4OGA<A'
The Atlanta Constitution accuses
Tom Watson Of turning the real De-
mocracy Of Georgia inside out and
setting it upside down, and Mr.. Wat
son comes and answers: "I am the
man," meaning that it broke loose
in Georgia the last time upon his ini-
tiative. The next time it breaks loose,
will be due to the fact that Georgia
is not big enough to hold Tom Watson
and Hoke Smith at the same time in
the same party. Too many cocks
spoil the broth, when in the caldron
boil and bake
"Eye Of newt and toe Of frog,
Wool Of bat and tongue Of dog,
Adder's fork and blind worm s sting,
Lizards leg and howlit IS wing"
And that is the dish that
is cooking down there for the party
and the people who once danced to
the piping of Toombs and Stephens
Hill and Turner.
Nobody knows precisely what it is,
except that it calls itself Jefferson
ian Democracy, and is designed to
give everybody everything by act Of
the American Congress and the Geor-
gia Legislature. The blue laws of
Connecticut have been imported to
make Georgia sober and sanctimon-
ious. The disreputable business of
building, owning and operating rail
roads is to be frowned upon, discour-
aged and punished. Georgia is to be
reclaimed and washed white in the
frenzy Of agrarianism.
The titular boss is Hoke Smith, one
of Cleveland s last cabinet, and Tom
Watson, one Of Bryan's running
mates, is the Warwick of the new dy-
nasty by his own admission. Poll
tics makes strange bedfellows, and
here are joined in political wedlock
the gold bug and fatist of '96, when
the country was told from every
stump that politicians were of two
classes-the blanked rascaIs and the
blanked fools.
Boss Smith is a successful lawyer,
and rich. Warwick Watson is of a
literary turn, and report hath it that
he, too, is in no danger Of the poor
house. Their mission is to teach
Georgia that it is disreputable to ac-
cumulate money, and criminal to be
rich.
They have Georgia in basket all
right, and things are getting on IA
mously, but one Of these days they
will have at their disposal the vest
ments of United States Senator
from Georgia. They will not cast

oath Of Office binds them to enforce.
tTo add to the confusion, Attor-
ney General Bonaparte virtually
threatens the states with federal CO.
ercion.
"Whatever else may be said, it is
clear that the gravity Of the situation
reveals the dangers of private owner
ship of public utility.
"These railroads are nothing more
nor less than public roads. Like the
navigable river, railroad should be-
long to the public. 1t is bound to
come to that. The highhanded ac-
ton Of Judge Pritchard and Jones,
backed up by the threatening atti-
tude of Mr.. Bonaparte, simply has
tens the day when that which is Cae-
sar's shall be rendered unto Caesar
Whoever wrote the threatening
note Of Attorney General Bonaparte
is more of corporation partisan
than lawyer.
''The statement that the federal
government will support the federal
judges in all matters where they have
regularly taken jurisdiction he
would have been acting far be-
yond the limits Of the law.
eff Mr.. Bonaparte had said 'le-
gally taken jurisdiction he would
have been on firm ground, but 10
president could undertake to support
federal judge when the face of the
papers showed that he had no legal
jurisdiction Of the case.
President Roosevelt's Attitude.
"I think I know the heart of Pres
ident Roosevelt as we'll as anybody
does, and my opinion is that he will
not hesitate moment, when the test
comes, to repudiate the bumptuous
Bonaparte and his absurd construc-
tion of constitutional law.
=" As old as the hills is the adage.
'The sovereign is not to be sued save
by his own consent.
"That principle is imbedded in the
thirteenth amendment to the consti-
tuition, put there by the state after
Chief Justice Marshall in the case Of
Chisholm VS.. the State of Georgia
had taken jurisdiction of the suit Of
an individual against state.
''What Marshall did in the CHS
holm case directly these usurping
judges, Pritchard and Jones, are now
doing by indirection.
If Bonaparte backs them up, he
will be violating the thirteenth
amendment, just as those usurping
judges are doing.
In Virginia Pritchard actually
enjoined the corporation s commission
from exercising a legislative func-
ton.

ards usurpation.

day and discussed the maritime strike
at length. The measures taken by
tho dispatch of mails to the colonies

and torpedo boats were approved. 9th
er measures were decided upon by the
ministers to be put In practice in case
the strike is prolonged, but their ma
ture was not announced when the
meeting adjourned.
The situation is very serious. French
shipping is paralyzed. and unless there
Is an immediate settlement of the dis
pute many Industries will be compelled
to shut down and thousands of work
men In other branches of trade Will be
thrown into enforced idleness. The
strike to-day was extended to Dun
kirk, Calais, Boulogne, Gravelines, Bar
deaux and other ports, which were not
affected yesterday. and the tie-up is
now complete everywh ere In France,
Algeria and Tunis. The commercial
interests are crying out against the
so-called tyranny of the labor organ
izations." and against the government
for. not being able to meet the strik-
ers' demands.
In order not to remain entirely pass
i've, some OF the navigation companies
took action against the strikers to-
day. Formal charges of desertion Were
made against nearly 5000 officers. en-
gineers, seamen and others who have
abandoned their ships, and under the
decree of 1852 they are subject to
heavy penalties.
