A LETTER FULL OF INTEREST.

Grand Prairie, Tex, Nov. Is, 1907.
Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga.
Dear Mr.. Watson: I enclose you
one Of my little books, which I trust
you may take time to read. [ will
place my advertising matter this
week. By the Goth the inquiries will
begin to come in, Is to 20 letters per
day until the close of the seed sea-
son. If you desire copy Of these
addresses, I will mail them to you
from time to time, and make no
charge for them. I thought probably
you would like to mail sample copies
of your paper and magazine to these
farmers. IF the names are worth
anything to you, you are perfectly
welcome to them.

South. IF you desire to plant bush
ell of them on your farm, I will give
you bushel, you pay the express.
charges.
AS I once lived near Athens, and
met you there on several occasions,
I always feel like I have known you.
The last time | heard you speak was
at Athens. We were very poor peo>
pie then. My three brothers and I
walked ten miles that day to hear
you speak, then ten miles back home
that night. My father and mother
drove in that day in an old buggy,
working blind horse. We we're all
Watson people then, and we are
Watson people now.
At the close Of your speech I took
you by the hand, and in my great en-
thusiasm exclaimed that you were the
greatest man in our Southland, the
Athens Banner next day referring to
your speech and the reception your
people gave you, said that my COM
pairing you to Toombs, Stephens and
Hill was like comparing the humming
bird to the great eagle. I thought
you great then, Mr.. Watson, and I
know it now. No lies were too black,
no words too harsh in those times for
the democratic papers to hurl at you
and your followers. They have stolen
the greater portion of our platform
for campaign purposes only. I do not
mean to try to fatter you, but you
are the only man that we have ever
had in Congress that ever tried to
legislate honestly and sincerely in be-
half of the common people. You
gave us rural delivery, and now old
