The Late Jim Griggs and the
K. F. ID.

Dear Mr.. Watson-I love to read your paper.
My father has been a Watson man for years.
Would vote for him if he to get chance
now, so would I. He served in the Army lost
his health but never has been able to get any
pension as yet.
Mr. Watson, there lots of people who think
Jim Griggs is the daddy of the Free Mail DeIiv-
cry L want you to tell us all about it in your
next letter.
I am only three-horse farmer. Raise our
hog and hominy and all the cotton can gather.
We only have three Jersey COWS, some nice hogs,
to over for this fall.
Will close. Love to you and all who read after
you. N. c. ARLINGTON.
COMMENT.
Friend Arlington seems to be pretty we'll
fixed. He won't have to join the boycott of
the Meat Trust. With a three horse farm,
three Jerseys, fattening hogs to carry over,
meat in the smokehouse, corn in the crib
why, I think Brother Arlington is as indie
pendent as a wood-sawyer.
| congratulate him.
AS to the late Jim Griggs and the r. F. D.,
the facts are, that he did not run for Con
gress until 1896, and therefore his actual
service began in December, 1897.
The first money voted by Congress for the
r. F. d. was the $4,000 carried in the p O.
appropriation bill which passed in February.
1893 The mandatory resolution in favor of
the r. F. d. was adopted in the Committee
of the Whole February II, 1898.
At that time, the late jim Griggs was a
Judge of the Superior Court, in Georgia.
AS I have already said few times, and
then few more, the mandatory resolution
was mine. Have offered to give big money
to Charity, for the production of proof to
the contrary. This country is literally
rammed, jammed and crammed with people
who are reaching out, in one way or another,
to get their paws on other folks portable

Rev. j. A. Scarboro, Magnolia, Ark.
Dear Brother:-Yours of the 18th inst. to
hand, and in reply I will say that my challenge
for debate was to Mr.. Watson after he had edi-
torially devoted three columns to bringing MY
NAME into a thing which had not entered, and
it was ON THAT GROUND that challenged him
to meet me the platform, that being my only
forum. He gave his reasons for declining, and
agreed to waive the things objected to; he still
declined, and | have desire to take it any
further, SO I must respectfully decline to accept
your challenge.

Demand Dignity.
One thing American people have yet
to learn is that drummers sent abroad
by American firms should be persons of
some dignity and consideration 1t is
necessary that they should assume and
maintain an amount of front such as
would not be considered at all necessary
for a commercial traveller in our own
country a stock of funny stories and
a readiness to 'set up the drinks" on
slight provocation will mot prove a
useful business equipment for the
trade representatives in foreign lands.
Merchants abroad, as a rule. do not
care to be slapped on the back and re-
galed with anecdotes They expect TO
be treated with polite formality; and
above a., there must be no hurry. The
first lesson to be learned by the Ameri-
can salesman abroad is that he must not
rush. Hustle with us is an important
means of getting ahead, but in other
lands folks seem to have no use for 1t.
How Bureau Started.
Long. long ago, when Mr. Evarts was
secretary of state, a newspaper man, In
conversation one day, suggested to him
that it might be a good idea to pub
lish the consuls' reports, which up to
that time had been allowed to moider
away in the archives of the depart
ment, unseen by anybody to whom they

well of the notion. and carried 1T into
effect. The newspaper man was Maj.
John NJ Carson, who now, as chlef OF
the bureau of manufacturers, h1mselL
publishes these reports.
For many years the reports in ques-
ton were edited in an out-of-the-way
corner of the state department by
cultured man of Irish extraction named
Michael Seaman. Though unaware OF
the fact. he was himself the nucleus OF
the future bureau of manufacturers,
which may be said to have been built
ND around him. He is still employed IN
it at the same work

Every town in Europe. Asia, Africa
and South America, that has popula-
