DEATH HAS CLAIMED ANOTHER
OF THE NOBLE OLD GUARD.

Dear Sir:-You will deeply regret
to learn of the death of your great
personal friend, Mr.. Linn Tanner, of
Cheneyville, La, which occurred here
on July Fl. He was the most widely
known man in this community and
honored by all who knew him. He
served his state as a Confederate SOL
der during the entire civil war. 1t
was he who wrote the set of resolu-
tiOns which was signed by himself
and two other members of the Farm
ers' Alliance which was carried unan-
imously by the State Farmers Alli-
ance Of Louisiana denouncing the
Louisiana State lottery. The docu-
ment that kindled the flames of out
rage in the hearts of the good peO--
pie of Louisiana and caused them to
assert their courage and to finally de-
feat that gigantic monster, thereby
Kidding the state of great pesti-
lence. 1t was his pen that wrote the
first line against whiskey in this
community many years ago, although
it did not take him long to carry his
point, he never ceased to write and
work until his wish had materialized
and the WhiSkey traffic had been van
ished from here never to return, may
we hope. He was born here 72 years
ago; educated at college in Fay
etteville, Ark. where he married the
daughter of DR.. Wade Pollard, of
that place. He returned here 81
years ago with the charming woman
whom he leaves a widow. Three
daughters and three sons, all of
whom are married, also mourn for
him. He was a scholar and a writer
of exceptional ability and always ex-
erted his influence for the good of
mankind. He loved to relieve the dis
tressed his charity was only limited
by the extent of his purse. No one
ever went to him in need and left
empty handed nor without consola-
ton. He was truly a noble man.
Through his influence myself, like
many others, have absorbed the prin-
ciples of JeffersOnian Democracy. He
was a useful citizen, model husband
and father, a noble friend and true
brother, scrupulously honest and
thoughtful in all his undertakings
Yours very truly, L. d. MARTIN.

METHOD IN WATSON'S tMAD-
NESS"
NESS

Hon. r. e. Watson: Dear Sir
While seated in the rOstrum Of the
Kimball House yesterday there gath
cred in front of me six men, who i'm
mediately commenced criticising
Thos. E. Watson. Of course, situated
as | was, | couldn't help hearing what
they had to say.
First, they all agreed that said
Watson is crazy, and then the thought
occurred to me-there is a righteous
method in his madness. God grant
us more such crazy men. After a
lengthy TRADE of abuse, one asked:
''Whoever heard of a Democrat adj
vising the running of an independent
candidate, as Tom Watson dOes?"
And then another thought occurred
to me.
The first gun of the Revolutionary
war for independence was ordered
fired by one of my ancestors, and an
other was killed in defence of that
right, and in the emphatic language
of the first Democratic president Of
the United States, who ran as an in
dependent candidate and was elected
on the single plank platform of OPP
position to national banks, | almost
swore 'by the Eternal as you and
have, but | simply, mildly said: Gen
tlemen, you and l have heard Of it
within the last two years and one Of
you to- my certain knowledge advo-
Gated the election of an Independent
candidate against the nominee Of
your so-called Democratic party"
when? Where?"
Here in Atlanta; one Woodward
was your nominee"
We'll, would you vote for a man
who was guilty of such disgraceful
conduct down on Collins street,
No; neither would I vote for man
who is the representative, not Of the
respectable wing of the sO-called
Democratic party of the Tenth dis
trict, who was guilty of a like Of
fence I don't belong to either wing
of your so-called Democratic party,
but | do recognize the fact that your
repudiated candidate for mayor of
Atlanta does represent the majority
wing of his party and time will
demonstrate whether drunken gamb-
lers, and worse, will represent the
Democratic party Of the Tenth Con-
gressional district.

falsely styled Democratic party,

were trampled under foot, We had

FROM AN ATLANTA LAWYER.
Hon. Thomas e. Watson. Thomson
Atlanta, Ga.

Hon. Thomas E. Watson, Thomson,
Ga.
Sir:-In company with my wife, I
was present at the Auditorium last
evening to hear your speech. How
ever, so obnoxious, outrageous and
barbarious was the conduct of certain
parties towards yourself and the
ladies present, I was compelled to
take my wife home.
When men, Georgians, cease to re-
spect ladies, are vulgar, profane and
indecent in their presence; when
men, Georgians, are so unreasonably
partisan and will not hear both sides
of an all-important question, espec-
tally when the questions are being dis
cussed by one of Georgia's own illus
trious sons; when men, GeOrgians,
will disgrace their state and city by
conduct unworthy of savage; when
men, Georgians, will howl down a
brother Georgian who, without re-
ward or the hope thereof, is seeking
with might and main to elevate the
state and nation morally and polite
ally--it would seem that your asser-
tion that 1.-The world is hellward
BENT was literally, positively and
unequivOcally verified
I am proud of the magnificent cour-
age you displayed under such trying
and disgusting circumstances, and |
am doubly proud of the mastery
speech you delivered until interrupt
ed by the worse than barbarous con-
duct of the political thugs, buns and
boot-licks that infested the crowd.
Atlanta refuses, now and forever
to own them. They were Outcasts,
the scum of creation; came, from God
knows where; destined for, we'll, ev-
erybody knows where.
The good people of Atlanta regret
as much as you and just as keenly
the insult hurled at you by this
worthless, lawless, shiftless flotsam
and jetsam Of the sea of licentious-
ness.
The good people of Atlanta, Of
Georgia, of the nation, believe in your
sincerity, though we may differ with
your views, and are as ready and
willing and anxious to uphold your
hands in the right as your most
partisan friends.
With best wishes for an unlimited
success in your life's work, I am,
Very truly yours,
