The crops in Georgia are about as good as the
land will make, and that's pretty good. A July the
first prospect does not always pan out but July
the twenty fifth prospect can always be depended
on, and we will have lots of corn and cotton in
Georgia.

Tom Watson assaults ON Bryan are character
istic of the man. He is as inconsistent as he is
eccentric, and crooked as he is cranky. He is for
Bryan when it suits his interests and against
Bryan when it appears otherwise. He was for

and if he could use Jones to punish Brown he
would do so unhesitatingly if it pleased benefit
