Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-08-15

Hss
John Temple Grabss Editorial.
Last week we re-published one of Mr..
Graves most striking leaders.
That the brilliant editor of the Georgian
should express himself generously concern
ing Mr.. Watson is natural enough, for Mr..
Graves loyalty is of the kind that stands all
tests, and is never more conspicuous than
when some storm of abuse and misrepresenta-
ton is beating upon the head of his friend. v
Mr.. Graves knows how the event proved the
correctness Of the position taken by himself
and ether friends of Mr. Watson in 1896, when
they warned the Bryanites that they would,
i'll defeat, pay the penalty for breach of faith,
if they set aside the St. Louis compromise
and tried to snatch for Bryan and Sewall
prize that was meant for Bryan and Watson
Few episodes in American politics reek
with ranker perfidy than the treatment of
the Middle-of-the-Road Populists in that
campaign.
The humilations heaped upon the Populist
nominee, the manner in which he was insuted
by Chairman Jones of the Bryan Committee
and betrayed by Marion Butler of the Popu7
list Committee, are almost unprecedented
even in the cruel records of partisan politics.
A change of a few thousand votes, in the
doubtful Southwest, would have made Bryan
President. Instead of stumping these states
in company with Watson, Mr. Bryan was
amusing himself with spectacular invasions
of "the enemy's country" and with dallyings
with SeWall, UP in Maine
Disguised and indignant, the Mid Road Pop
ulists either stayed at home, or voted for
Mckinley. Had Bryan stoutly held on to the
st. Louis compromise, of Bryan and Watson
those very Populists who made McKin1ey's
election possible would have made Bryan's
election certain.
The Republicans, themselves, were ina state
of dismay and panic Immediately after the
st. Louis compromise, and they did not recover
from this Encouragement until Chairman
James K Jones published his asinine letter,
telling the Populists they could go to the
nlggers where they belonged
For that gross and unprovoked insult Bryan
was made to suffer. Perhaps Justly. He
could have rebu<ed his Chairman or he should
have entered disclaimer; and he might have
made everything satisfactory, without either
rebuke or disclaimer, by openly ratifying the
St. Louis bargain.
But Bryan did neither of those three pos
sibe things. On the contrary, he went off to
New England to daily with Sewall-whose

Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-08-15

Now the sum and substance of Mr.. Graves
editorial of last week is this:
Don't let us make, in 1908, the same mis-
takes that gave Mckinley the Presidency in
1896"

GOODBYE.

1t is hard word to speak. Some
may laugh that it should be, but
let them. Icy hearts are never
kind. 1t is a word that has chok-
ed many an utterance, and started
many a tear. The hand is clasped.
the word is spoken, we part, and
are out on the ocean of time, we
go to meet again, wheref God
only knows. 1t may be soon, it
may be never. Take care that
your goodbye be not cold one, it
may be the last one you can give.
Ere you meet again Deaths cold
hand may have closed his eyes
and chained his lips forever. All
he may have died thinking you
loved him not. Again it may be
long separation. Friends crowd
on and give you their hands. How
do you detect in each goodbye the
love that fingers there; and how
may you bear with you the mem
DRY of these parting words many
daysf We must separate. Tear
not yourself away with careless
boldness that defies all love, but
make your words linger, give
your heart full utterance, and if
tears fall, what of it, Tears are
not unmanly.

In the write-up of the Fourth at
Judsonia, we reprint a portion of
it from the Judsonia ADVANCE,
which reads as follows: The Nc
Crory military company, in charge
of Capt. R. B. Heating, helped
very materially in the entertain
ment of the day. Besides march
ing in the parade, in the afternoon
they gave an exhibition drill,
which was enjoyed very much by
the large crowd.
A merrier crowd never spent
days outing to a better advantage
than did the Sunday school lea
guers Thursday, on White lake. A
party of about twenty blitheful
McCroryites assembled at the
Methodist church Thursday morn
ing where teams and vehicles were
in waiting to carry them to the
place of pleasure. The party ar
rived at the lake about 10 o'clock
and when the smallest hour of the
evening made its appearance, din
ner was spread upon the ground
and Notwithstanding the fact
that fish were somewhat scarce,
there was plenty of chicken, ham,
cakes, pies, pickles, and other eat
ables too numerous to mention
usually found at a picnic partici-
pated in by the people of our city.
Some of Fakes Chapel's good
people were picnicing on the lake,
and helped materially in effecting
the sumptuous spread, relished by
everyone, by spreading their din
ner with the McCrory people.
The McCrory people celebrated
the Fourth in various ways, some
attending family fish-frys, barbe-
cues and picnics, while others
visited foreign places. The great
er portion of McCrory's citizens
spent the day at a picnic in Nc
Crory's pasture west of town,
given by Mrs. W. G. billiard to
the pupils of her room and the
Alpha Literary Society. Every
one had a grand time and the
days enjoyment will not soon be
forgotten by those present. In
the afternoon a ball game was
played between the Augusta and
McCrory first nine teams. AS
will be seen by the following score,
the home boys played "rocky"
ball, the score being IA to 4 in
favor of the visitors. The home
boys realized, however, before the
game began, that if they won the
game, 'twould only be a case of
luck as their catcher, together
with two other men who belonged
to the. team had gone with the mil
itary company to Judsonia. The
day passed away quietly and we
are glad to say that no one was
hurt Except one of the players
who was hit with the ball, by
pitcher, Angus) and not the least
sign of whiskey was seen any
where during the DAYS celebration.

DISGUSTED
WITH REFEREE
Murphy-HarriS Fight Has
a Decidedly Bad
Look.
BY TAD.

NEW YORK. June SIP and down
Broadway yesterday there was nothing
but talk OF the Murphy Harris fight.
Some were for Harris straight, place,
and show. while others took the Muir
ply end with its queer angles.
Just why the referee allowed Harris
20 butt Murphy and let 81 go on is still
unanswered. Just why the referee al
lowed Harris seconds 10 scamper about
the ring I'm the nth round and then
10 Murphy is still among the unan-
swered
Johnny Oliver was the sorest man in
town last night.
Il don't want to say that Murphy was
double crossed says Oliver, but fl
certainly looks funny. When I refused
the $500 offer whit n was made to me
10 have Tommy lay down. I thought We
would get an even break, and the best
man would win. Tommy did win by
a mile, but he lost anyway We should
have won the fight twice on q foul hut
when ] made a kick to the referee. he
wouldn't even listen to me
One OF the Harris brokers last night
al the Cadillac said that Murphy did
everything bat pull knife on Harry
in that fight He said that Harris was
getting better from the sixth on and
Murphy. seeing no chance 20 knock him
out, tried every dirty trick he knew.
To be fair 10 both sides. IL was "A very
dirty exhibition after the sixth round
Harris used his elbow and tried 10
break Murphy'S back over the ro0es
butted him. and then got the same thing
himself. II two professional pugilists
can't engage in a bout without such tao
tics they should retire. There are plenty
OF clean fighters.
