My Dear Mr. Watson: I received
your letter some time ago asking me
to work for your paper. have been
quite busy of late, but will now see
what [ can do. I see you are not
much disconnected over the result of
the election. Your vote was small
in this town. Bryan vote was small
here, too; the people did not turn
out to vote much, though there were
some voted for you here that never
did before. I hope that you will yet
be seen as you are. [ realize that you
have been to great expense in the peo-
ple's cause. [ therefore enclose you
my check for $500 to help you that
much Hoping you a long and happy
life, I remain your true friend,

KEEP THE FAITH AND NAME.

Coffee Springs, Ala, Nov IA, 1908.
Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ca:
Well, I see some Of the Pops are
speaking Of calling a convention for
the purpose of formulating plans for
the future. That is the thing to do.
Let US have a convention, and let it
be in the Southern States somewhere
I am not in favor of crossing the
Mason and Dixon line to hold it. Let
all Of us in the South that want to
see this great old South come to the
front and have that respect that she
is entitled to, join in with us in this
fight for reform. There is but one
way for her to get this respect, and
that is we'll known by all thinking
people who want to do what is right
for the many I want to see con-
vention Of the Southern States called,
and [ want to see every one of them
represented, and plans laid out for
the next four years. We need organ
izing, and this we must have to ac-
complish anything. I notice some of
our people speaking of new name
for our party. This I do not think
necessary, from the fact the Populist
party has established its name and de-
mands, and it is very we'll understood
what they are, and both the old par
ties accept them to a degree, and to
start a party with a new name means
only the same thing we have passed
through to establish our name and
principles, yet they may be the same,
and it gives the old parties a stick to
paste our heads with. Let's keep our
old name, and keep the faith that was
first delivered to the saints. Mr..
Watson, may the God of heaven bless
you, and make you able to carry out
the true Jeffersonian principles.
Your friend,
w. w. Smith.

EFFORTS BEARING FRUIT.

0d1S NON.
Hon. T. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga.
Dear Mr.. Watson: I suppose you
are already in possession Of the COM
plete returns of the election You
don't need any information, or ad-
vice on that.
While We are disappointed at losing
the county and State for you, yet we
are happy to know that Bryan lost
our county by nearly 800 majority.
Taft got 541, Bryan, 691; Watson,
1872. Bryan carried six districts, you
carried six and Taft eight.
Our boys only lacked enthusiasm.
And the rain in the afternoon is the
only thing that put us behind, as the
country vote was for you by a good
majority. When our enemies could
not vote man for Bryan they put
him on Taft.
Through an oversight in DIR. Kelley
or myself, I hardly know which, we
failed to get tickets to one district,
"Cains," therefore we failed to get
single vote there; but it went for
Taft over two to one.
It was a very busy time, rain and
the needed enthusiasm cut us down;
and then some who did not want to
vote for you stayed at home because
they could not vote against you.
But most of our votes came from
those who had supported Hoke Smith.
But few Of the Brown men voted
with us. They went for Taft or
Bryan.
If we will but hold our ground now,
I believe we will gain and those who
were "sore" or Indifferent will fall
in line.
I feel like we won a glorious vic
tory, even if we did not do as we'll
as we would have liked to.
Your efforts are bearing fruit and
the Democrats (so-called) will have
to "get right" or pass out. Their
grip on old Georgia, thank God! is
broken
All we need is to get the people to
read our literatue.
Had I the time to spare I would
see to it that the people of this coun-
ty read our doctrine.
In the school room, on the hastings
Of the "Union" and my little farm
ing interests consume my time.
But if the opportunity ever pre-

You did not poll half of your real
strength in Georgia There were
thousands who voted for Taft or
Bryan who had rather have voted for

your election. I did all / could, in
my humble way, for you and the
cause for which you stand. | hope
you will not feel discouraged, | hope
you will carry on the good work till

vote, in which you had electors.

ROBBERS GET $4,000.
Drill Vault in South Bend Qnd.) POST
office When Clerks Are Work
ing Near

SOUTH BEND, Ind. Nov. 16.-The
biggest robbery in the history of South
Bend was pulled off Saturday night by
safeblowers, who plundered the South
Bend postofiice of S1S,653 and made
such a successful getaway that postotlice
inspectors and police are without n clue
on which to conduct their investigation.
The plumber was all stamps.
The robbery was discovered at $50
o'clock Sunday morning by a clerk i'll
the employ of the Household Quitting
company one door north of the room
temporarily occupied for postottice pur-
poses during the erection of the new
100000 building.
A hole 14x14 inches had been cleo
trically drilled through the 14-inch fire
proof wall forming one side of the post
office vault, through which one of the
robbers had entered the vault and passed
the plumber to his confederates. That
the robbery was committed by experts
is shown by precautions used to pre-
vent discovery and that the men worked
SO skillfully that the night force of mail
ing clerks within 100 feet OF the vault
had no knowledge Of what was taking
place
The electric drill used by the robbers
was worked by power taken from light
ing wires loss than 20 feet from the
wall. the wires being detached from
desk lamp in the office of the Household
company The drills, picks and other
tools. all new, and a bottle Of nitro
glycerine. which was probably to be
used in case n steel lining to the vault
was found. were all left behind and are
now in the hands Of the police. Inspec-
tor 4. g. Holmes mt Cincinnati was noti-
fed. and he ordered Inspector \. Il.
Burr of Fort Wayne to South Bend,
the latter arriving here last night.
