in 19O2-'O3."
Referring to the governmental de-
velopment of the r. F. d., which has
spread from an experiment in a linn
tied territory to the whole country,
Mr.. Watson said the third assistant
stmaster-General, Mr.. DeGraw,
showed in a recent speech that an
examination of the records of Con-
gress shows the first appropriation
ever made for rural free delivery
was secured by Thomas E. Watson.
| worked so hard while in Con-
gress that, while | am passionately
fond Of music, l did not once attend
the opera. At every session of Con-
gress, | was at my post of duty,
sometimes struggling all night for
such measures as Free Silver, and
the Automatic Car Coupler Bill.
When I got back to Thomson, there
was a vast thrOng to welcome me
home. When my friends saw how
weak and worn l was, there was
many an eye that was dimmed with
tears. After delivering my speech
in the old Williams pine thicket. I
fell fainting from exhaustion.
About that time he was going to
Augusta to debate with Major Black
at the old Exposition hall, and when
he got on the train and had seated
himself in the passenger coach "a
long human proposition" came into
the car crying out, where is that
damned scoundrel, Watson, who sold
out to the Republican party; where
is he?" / rose from my seat, saying,
here he is, and smashed him in the
face.
'Then the whole coach rose as If
to make for me, when Dosh Massen-
gale got up and told them not to
touch me- Said he: 81 heard what
the man said, and Watson couldn't
have done otherwise than strike
him. l went to Augusta to speak
and they howled me down. They let
Major Black speak, but they ham
mered me mercilessly. Major Black
did all in his power to get them to
listen to me; to get them to let me
reply. He begged his friends to con-
duct themselves properly, and seemed
to be as grieved over their actions as
my friends were. / simply had to
quit and give it up.
Major Black is perfect gentle
man; and l give him credit.
''The day after that, Or the follow
ing day, 1 believe it was, l went

Watson started it,
$50 things ran along until 1889,
when the farmers began to make de-
mands, which were considered radi-
cal at that time, but which are mod
crate demands now Why, now we
can get an 0. K. from the very White
House. Taft is on the Ocala plat
form and we have finally gotten the
O. K. of the Senate of the State of
Georgia, which has passed the in
come tax resolution.
Boys I tell you, when Old Man
Peepul gets after them they have
just got to do things"
Mr. Watson said among the men
who were active, also, was State
Senator John Johnson, an ex-Popu-
list, who took charge of the bill in
the Senate, and who was 'aided as
much as possible by Yours Truly.
And Clark Howell came across and
gave us good help, too
He said that the old Alliance plat
form began to look to him more and
more like good Jeffersonian Demo-
cracy. cat that time I had gotten
together little money and I got on
the Alliance platform. Major Barnes
got on the other platform, and the
way I took the candy away from him
was a shame. I swept through the
district, and carried even the coun-
try portion of Richmond county,
Then, said Mr.. Watson, the Legisla-
ture got together and took two of his
old counties away from him, one of
them being Burke, and gave his dis
trict two new counties.
He said when he went to Washing
ton he was pledged to stand by the
principles of that old association, that
he got the Indiana convention in
structions to follow out those princi-
pies, regardless of party *'And if it
was mistake" he said, ''the Ocala
convention did the same thing, and
the St. Louis convention did the same
thing, and, therefore, | was instruct
ed by three conventions to stand by
those principles, regardless of any
party

well, here's the man that had
been thinking and dreaming about
doing great things and prepared to
DO useful things for his country. The
record will show that I helped to
pass the eight-hour law for the la
boring men in the mines and the
mills and the shops, because I thought
that eight hours of continuous labor
in close room that taxed mind and
body is enough for any human be-
ing.
''Then, again, that attempt to take
away from the States the control of
our militia and give it to the Pres1-
dent. That bill would have allowed
the President, without consulting
your Governor, to have ordered
Massachusetts troops to Georgia and
Georgia troops to Connecticut, negro
troops against the whites; Catholic
troops against the Protestant and

since the day he signed it on Decem-
Der l, 1877. That was bread cast up
on the waters and there isn't a man
nor woman that ever did me an act

Speaking to All America.
Through the fingers of these re-

ed applause).
Tried to Get Work in Augusta.
Mr.. Watson told the story of his
earlier days. just after finishing col
lege, when he tried to get work in
Augusta, after short visit to
Screven county. He said:
II know what it is to tramp the
streets of a city trying to get a job
and not succeeding. That's the rea-
son why, when laboring man sounds
his trumpet he knows he can count
on me to respond. / tried to get
clerks position in Augusta, but it
seemed that the stores were over
run. I could not stay there in Au-
gusta and do nothing and decided I
would leave town, but had no money.
[ gathered up those books of mine;
books which my grandfather, my
father and I, with what little money
| could get, had gathered together
and every one was as dear as an old
friend-and carried them to the auc-
ton house of Bignon & Crump.
When [ heard the auctioneer crying
tu0ul OIL, DIS L uodTu lie GO1nS, go
ing, gOne!' it was like tearing leaf
out of my heart. The sale of those
books brought me less than ten dol
lars.
Organized a School.
Il went to the Lawtonville Baptist
Association and thought I would raise
me small school in Screven county.
I rode over there in farm wagon
and even today I remember well the
jolts the wagon gave me as we rum
over the pine roots in the road.
got board with old man Thompson
and began to teach that little school.
I tried it for two years, and found
that there was nothing in it.
And, boys, right here I'm going to
tell you a secret; something I have
never told before. During my last
term in Mercer College I sowed some
wild oats, and for a time I did not
stand as well as I had been standing
in my classes. I began to see how
hard things were going and came
near getting discouraged. In Screven
county the same thing started again;
things were going gloomy again,
and I got discouraged again. One
evening I rode ten or twelve miles
with the intention of paying visit I
had no business making, in an adj
joining neighbour I wanted to

life, and when I returned to the
country home / wrote to an old
schoOl-teacher, Mr.. R. H. Pearce,
asking if he would board me while I
got on my feet as a lawyer. On the
day l expected the reply I rode to
Scarborough to get it, and was afraid
to open the letter. | remember
riding to the bend in the road and
opening that letter, and when / read:
My wife consents, but there is one
drawback; there's strong bar here,
and I doubt if you will be able to do
anything"
Went Back to Thomson.
Mr.. Watson went over his return
to Thomson, his joy at being able to
return and live with his home folks
again, the opening of his first little
office, "and," he said, 81 walked three
miles day to my office, ate a cold
dinner from tin bucket, and walk
ed three miles back home at night.
"Where are you, Jack Roberts, are
you in this crowd? Yes, there he is.
He paid me the first fee of $40 I ever
made, and thought it was like rob-
bling a man, but now old Jack knows
if he ever needed friend all he has
to do is strike a bee line for my house
and find one."
Mr.. Watson said in those days Paul
Hudson, Judge Roney and Colonel
William B. Tut, and those law
yers Of the day, Knocked and jostled
me about, but / soon learned to knock
and jostle them about some. And
then pretty soon Judge Reese and
Judge Twiggs began to be knocked
about some, too. My first victory
over Col. Tut was the Barksdale
case. A case in which there was no
other lawyer at the bar to be found
who thought anything could be done
with it. But I believed there was no
law in the land which could rob
mother of her child-and when that
term of court adjourned the mother
went away from the court house with
her baby in her arms.
His Entry in Politics.
I'm the year 1880, I had sufficient
ly grown at the bar to have political
ambition. So / ran for delegate to
the gubernatorial convention.
''In the year 1882, the Honorable
Alexander Fl. Stephens ran for Gov
ernor and I ran for Representative
of McDuffie county. There is one of
the tickets. A little man at the head
and little man at the bottom of it,
and they were both elected. In the
Legislature I served one term. But
I obtained change in the Statute
Book which made it possible for ten
ants to litigate without having to give
an eventual condemnation bond who
otherwise would have been unable to
go to the courts and have their rights
passed upon. / was also chosen to
lead the debate for the local option
law. We did it,
Mr.. Watson then went on to show
that the local option law went
through, and under that law whiskey
was voted out of 1927 counties in
Georgia, that he was, in that respect,
instrumental in bringing about that
reform.
The Jute Bagging Fight.
Returning to Thomson he reopen
ed his law office and began to prac-
tice again, and, in 1888, the jute cot
ton bagging trust began to squeeze
the farmers of the South. He recited
the incidents of the st. Louis conven-
ton, showing that the trust was put
ting up the price of the bagging more
and more every Monday morning,
"and," said Mr.. Watson, "that trust
told the farmers of the South, unless

Live Stock Market.

Kansas CITY STOCK 1aFOS, JUNG iS'
1910. Rather light receipts Of cattle
for the past month or more have pre-
vented packers from storing much
dressed meat In coolers, and when the
demand from cnsumcrs began to In
crease two weeks ago, the reserve
supply was soon exhausted. and Kill
ers have been forced to exhibit an-
xiety for supplies recently. Receipts
from Native and Western territory
continue moderate, and the flux OF
cattle from quarantine territory now
coming to market Is not large enough,
previous to today to relieve the strain.
The market has, therefore, made
fairly good gains each Of the past two
weeks, the advance last week Is cents
on the best fed steers, and 25 to SO
cents on butcher grades. StockerS
and feeders remained about steady, as
present prices are one dollar higher
than a year ago, and buyers hold
some skcpticism about cattle paying
out at prevailing prices. The supply
today was above expectations, $4,000
head here, half OF which are in til,
quarantine division. Best steers are
steady to IL shade lower. account of
scarcity. top sales today at $S.45, s.. 81
and s.. 20. Medium cattle arc of 10
to 25 cents today, bulk OF steers at

After considerable fuctuating hogs
closed last week in the same notch as
close of previous week. Heavy
weights lost some prestige during the
week, and lights seem slated to take
the lead in tbs near future. The run
here today is 5000, liberal elsewhere,
and packers seized the chance to force
a decline, ranging from 10 to Is cents.
top hogs at $0324 which is only -!
under Chicago top today, bulk of sales
here 1920 to $3.50. Shipping demand
is good, as many small plants hereto
fore closed for Il season, are opening
up, having decided that no money can
be made by not running. Competi-
tion is therefore better, and packers
who haye talked of putting up their
drovcs shortly at nine dollars have
revised their ideas during the last
week.
Sheep and lambs made big gains
last week, and closed strong, sheep
