Hon. Felix G. Ewing, Gen. Mgr,

Dear Sir
1t has developed that number Of
citizens of Christian county, Ken
lucky, joined the Planters Protec-
tive Association on account Of being
inundated. The sole object in
affiliatjng with your organization
was to protect their property and to
prevent the night riders from shoot
ing into their houses and burning
their barns, and perhaps taking their
Ees. Under these circumstances,
they feel that they have the right to
sell their tobacco in our organization
as their act in joining the Planters
Protective Association was not volun-
tary, but was brought about on ac-
count of the universal feeling in our
county of fear.
Now, ! write you to ascertain if
the association will release from
their pledges all members who will
make affidavit that they joined the
association on account of fear and to
protect their property.
1t is my pleasure to remain.
Yours truly,

WATSON AT sYLvANIA.

Hon. Thomas E. Watson spoke at
Sylvania today to an audience Of
about eight hundred There were
many ladies of the town and from
different sections of the county who
came to hear Mr.. Watson. He spoke
in the court house and it was filed to
its capacity, and, after every avail
able seat was occupied-even the
windows continued to come in
till there was no more standing room
to be had.
Both the banks closed, as we'll as
the stores, and the Prof. Of the High
school, w A. Ingram, gave an inter-
mission that the teachers and pupils
might have an opportunity to hear
him. He was introduced by Senator
Z. K. Overstreet.
There is no doubt that he made
many votes by his visit here, and his
friends claim that he will carry the
county by good majority.

J. c. HolIingsworth, Jr., promising

Walker, President Of the Citizens

MR.. WATSON AT DUBLIN.
II. L. HOWARD.

Dublin, Ga, Oct. II, 1908.
The Jefersonian:
At the Chautauqua auditorium in
our city yesterday, Mr.. Watson was
greeted by two thousand hearers.
Although fifteen years have elapsed
since Mr.. Watson delivered politi-
cal address here, the immense audi
ence greeted him with greater en-
thusiasm than ever. The i. entire
audience seemed to be there to listen,
and he had an opportunity to pre-
sent a high toned argument on Ma
tional issues, which opportunity was
made use of in a manner character
lstically Mr.. Watson s. There were
noticeably many supporters Of Mr..
Watson who were never known to
support him before-which is due to
the fact that the people have grown
to understand the issues and to APP
preciate Mr.. Watson's great ability
and purpose.
Mr.. Watson spoke Of the power
once held by statesmen of the South
IN National affairs and how it was
lost to the Republicans. How the
South has remained poor in COM
parison to the overly rich East under
Republican favoritism, and how he
would like to stamp the political life
out Of the party.
Mr.. Watson also pointed out the
intentions and purposes of the
original Democratic party of JEFF
ferson and how it has grown under
Bryan leadership to be exactly like
the Republican party-supported and
dominated by manufacturers, tariff
grafters and are just such support as
dominates the Republican party.
Mr.. Watson's appeal for support
was met with the most tumultuous APP
plause. Only one question was asked
Mr.. Watson and his answer caused
continued applause and demonstra-
ton that could not be misunderstood.
Mr.. Watson's victory could not have
been more perfect. Populism is fully
understood and undoubtedly the
tavo1ite of Laurens county.
Respectfully,
CHAS. Fl. KITTRELTl,

From the Dublin Times, Demo-
cratic paper:
'After the speaking a large num-
Der Of Mr.. Watson friends went
on the stage to shake his hand. The
sentiment of many was that the
speech won quite a number Of votes
for the candidate. Opinions vary as
to whether he has sufficient strength
to carry the county, but there is no
question that he will poll a very
large vote in Laurens.

WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN.
Continued from Page Two.)


forth with the proposition that they
then and there name Silver man
for the Presidency, without waiting
for the party conventions to come
later in June and July Of 1896.
The proposal was unlocked for by
Mr.. Bryan's Silver fellows. 1t came
upon them like a pan of milk from
a top shelf.
Mr.. Bryan counted on this. His
notion was that, while the others sat
tongue-tied, some one not threatened
by this unusual nominational plan
would struggle to his feet and do the
natural thing. That is, he would
offer the name Of civilian Jennings
Bryan" for that nomination, as
author of the sage proposal.
It is more than chance that Mr..
Bryan's programme would have car
ried itself out in happy fullness if it
hadn't been for Senator Stewart, of
Nevada. Senator Stewart was car
ned away by the Bryan proposition.
i was, he declared, the Silver thing
to do. The propaganda ought at
once to name a candidate for the
Presidency. Saying which, the OBJ
fuse Senator Stewart instantly put
in nomination Mr.. Sibley, of Pennsyl-
vania.
It ended Mr.. Bryan's interest in
that Silver propaganda.
About this time, on day when the
House was holding a Sunday session.
Mr.. Bryan came to me with a request
in the nature Of news.
Would you mind saying in your
paper" he asked, "that although the
House held Sunday session, Mr..
Bryan, Of Nebraska, at l O'Clock in
the afternoon, repaired to the Con-
gregational Church on Capitol Hill
and lectured an hour on the Divinity
of Christ? 2"
Mr.. Bryan looked ashamed, not to
say sheepish. His humility, how
ever, did not move me- I had too
much at stake. I told him frankly
that it was impossible. I had reason
to think that my own rating on high
was not what I could wish, and I
didn't care to further shake my all
too-fimsy standing in that eternal
quarter by helping him make a
personal political asset of the Throne
of Grace.-New York American.

the white man can govern the country
better for both races, therefore the
negro should not strive for political
and social equality as Organism
encourages them to do. That an in
telligent negro man, member Of a
social equality club in New York, is
now making stump speeches for Mr..
Bryan.
The speaker touched a cord of
sympathy in the writer's heart for
those southern born, but partizan,
citizens who still feel that they are
honor bound to support the regular
nominee Of the Democratic party,
when he disclosed in such vivid
manner, the humiliation heaped upon
the South and more especially upon
Georgia when the Bryanites of the
Denver convention tore Cor attempt
ed to tear?) Georgia's banner from
her delegation, and heaped insult up
on insult by singing "Marching
Through Georgia" and having
the band play Marching Through
Georgia." To humiliate the South,
the Loyal South who for for
ty years has been furnishing
two-thirds of the electoral votes
of the party, and for no other reason
than because she had the presump-
ton to ask for the second place on
the ticket.
The little state Of Indiana in the
middle west which has only fifteen
electoral votes got the plum that the
South with her one hundred and
sixty-six electoral votes so modestly
asked for
The speaker reminded us Of Mr..
Watson's unwavering loyalty to the
principles he now advocates, for
eighteen years and that all those
believing in the principles Of Jeffer-
son and of Jackson should vote for
him.

lin county, Ga, Watson elector from
State-at-large, addressed an audience
Of several hundred citizens Of APP
ping and adjoining counties assem-
bled at a Tom Watson rally and in
the courthouse in Baxley, Ca, on
Saturday October 18th.
The rally seemed to be quite a
success from every standpoint.
The speaker made no attempt at
fowery flights Of oratory; but his
steady flow Of one political and his
torical truth after another was so
logically and eloquently expressed
that his hearers at once realized that
they had before them an orator of
more than average ability and states
manship, and gave him their I'M
divided attention throughout his
entire speech Of about one hour and
fifteen minutes in length.
His speech was an explanation of
the differences between the Jeffer-
sonian and the Hamiltonian orinci-
pies Of government, and in the in
terest Of the candidacy of the Hon.
Thos. E. Watson for the presidency,
who, he declared is the only true
Jeffersonian Democrat in the present
race for the presidency. Also that
Mr.. Watson is the only one of the
candidates who is prohibitionist
except Mr.. Chaplin, the regular pro-
hibition nominee; that Mr.. Watson
had always worked for prohibition in
Georgia, but when it was an issue in
W. j. Bryan's home state of Ne
braska, Mr.. Bryan lodged the issue
by leaving the state.
The speaker further declared that
in 1896 and 1000 the Democratic
candidate, Mr.. Bryan, stood for the
Jeffersonian principles, which is
another name for populism, that the
Farmers Alliance stood for and that
Mr.. Watson has always stood for, but
that in 1904 he abandoned the peo-
pies cause, and adopted the Hamil-
tonian or Republican principles, and
that now he stands for the National
Banking system, its asset currency,
its periodic panics with all it's oppres-
sions Of the people.
That the Republican party had al
ways stood for these Hamiltonian
principles, therefore, we could expect
nothing from the Republicans in the
way of permanent relief, though
Mr.. Taft, the Republican candidate,
is showing more consideration to-
ward the South on the race question
than Mr.. Bryan, who has made over
tuers, or bids for the negro vote, if
we are to judge from admission and
circumstantial evidence that is very
strong, upon grounds that are re-
voting to southern sentiment and
should be repudiated at the ballot
box on November 3rd That this
means the putting the negro back in
politics to be used to defeat the will
of the white majorities in states
where they hold the balance of power.
