He did not go to Galveston because he

GIVES VI PEN FOR THE HOE.

Former Georgia Newspaper Man
Lives or Farm Nca. Laredo.
Laredo, Texas, Sept. 13-~W. l..
Giddens. staff correspondent Of tn
Atlanta Constitution when Henry
w Grady was one of the editors,
and the man who caused the elee.
ton of the present Senator Bacon
o, Georgia to the speakership of the
Georgia House of Representatives
many years ago, Is living peacefuiIs
amid ideal surroundings on his farm,
seven miles above Laredo. He ans
a vineyard. fruit orchard and raises
every year various kinds Of trueF
and many carloads of onions.
1t Is very interesting to heaf Mr.
Giddens talk of "old times. Hs
was born In Georgia and was a
distant relative OF Henry w. Grady.
One time, during the early seventies,
something big happened In Mr. Cid
dens' neighborhood and Grady sent
him word to keep the Constitution.
informed He wrote the matter UP
from day to day, and when his task
was ended he was summoned to At
lanta, where the Constitution made
him staff man. He went to ali
parts OF the state and wrote up
various sections and their industries.
He was a personal friend of many
statesmen, and when Bacon was
elected to the House of Representa-
tives he got Giddens and another
well-known party to visit all the
Representatives and solicit their
votes for Bacon for speaker. They
had to go nearly everywhere over
land, making the trip in a~~wagon
with two negroes for servants fol-
lowing in another wagon loaded
with supplies.
The result was that when the Leg
islature met they had seen every
man, and Bacon was elected by al
overwhelming majority.
Mr. Giddens came to Texas in the
early eighties and for many years
operated machine shop here. He
has been very successful and has
now retired to his ideal farm. He is
a typical southerner and always well
comes the stranger and gives him
the best he has. His doors are
wide open, as in the early days of
southern chivalry.
