GETTING SICK OF 1T

THE LEDGER is glad to learn that there
is a revulsion of sentiment among some
of our people who voted against local
option when the saloon question was
submitted to the voters of Kent county.
Some of them are honest enough to
confess their error and we honor them
for it. Saturday nights exhibition
with drunken men, boys, women and
girls, Keeling the streets and engaging
in other unseemly conduct and with
young ladies driven from the walk TO
business places TO escape the insults of
drunken rowdies, was a spectacle TO
make the most ardent saloon advocate
blush for shame at this perfectly nat
ural result of his vote for rum and
against God and home and native land.
Ii this orgie shall result in converting
the good but mistaken citizens, who
voted "wet," to better way of think
ing, it may be that good may yet come
out of evil.-Lowell Ledger.

fishers largely, which has become so
much Of a graft and hold-up that the
people have become alarmed and are
beginning to see that lawyers, as our
representatives, lawmakers, are a
failure.
The President of our United
States, Vice President, House and
Senate, judiciary and all impOrtant
offices, National and State are occu-
pied by lawyers principally and
rottener set of officials never lived
upon this earth.
Nine United States Supreme
Judges lawyers, decide upon the le-
gallty OF all laws made by a gang of
lawyers in Congress, and a majority
(fve) of that august body Of nine
lawyers rule this nation
Then comes the trusts and combi-
nations Of capital and they control
these lawyers and the laws, with the
aid of the newspaper publishers as
s1sting that INSCRIPTIONS gang in
holding up the people,
These trusts and combinations of
capital furnish the candidates for all
Of the important Offices and the cam
paign funds, and the American citi-
zens are expected to vote these trust
tools into office, which they have
been doing and then regret it later.
Now, Mr.. Watson, you are a law
yer and newspaper publisher, but
there are some exceptions to this
rule, If this shoe does not fit you,
snow us by publishing this letter. If
1t does fit you, do not publish it. We
will find paper that will, and sew
eral of them.
We challenge any prominent law
yer in the United States to defend the
workings as legislators in this coun-
try for the past thirty years, the de-
bate to appear in the columns of The
Weekly Jeffersonian, Thomson, Ga.
Show the people that you are a
hero. Respectfully,

Offers Legal Services.

He said that the legislature is
complex thing. He said that when
the legislature meets the school book
lobbyist as we'll as other lobbyists
will be present. He denounced lobby
ing and lobbyists in his characteristic
style. He declared that the negro
should be absolutely DISTINGUISHED
and asserted that the fifteenth
amendment to the constitution of the
United States is not legal or binding,
was not legally adopted and Mr.. Wat
son offered his legal services free in
a test case to determine if it's provis-
ions are binding.
New Member Legislature.
Speaking of the school book prop
ositiOn and imminence of lobbying
in the next legislature when the con-
tracts for the school books for the
next few years will come up Mr..
Watson intimated that there will be
a new member Of the legislature
there along with the lobbyists-Old
Man Peepul. He said that Old Man
Peepul would have hand in the
matter.
Life of Robert TOombs.
Mr.. Watson stated that he is pre-
pairing now a biography of Robert
TOOmbs. He believes that the life
of the great general and statesman
is little understood and frequently
misunderstood. He says that
Toombs was the greatest American
he proposes in his biography to show
the man, the soldier, the scholar, the
genius, the statesman in his true
light.
For County Unit and Primary.
Strictly to political matters he ad-
dressed himself and came out strong
for the county unit system in the pri-
mary elections Shaving been virtu-
ally robbed of that plan. He came
out strong, too, for a senatorial pri-
mary as opposed to the election by
the legislature without the instruct
ions from the people as expressed in
a primary election. Some one in the
audience arose and asked the ques-
ton: Mr.. Watson, would you ac-
cept the office if the legislature
should Offer it to your
Said he Would Accept.
To this Mr.. Watson replied that
he most certainly would, whether
chosen by the people or the legisla-
ture-that he deemed the Office a
duty and that if the duty was impos-
ed he felt that no personal sacrifice
should be deemed too great to make
in order to dc his duty. He pro-
fessed however, that he is no candi-
date for any position and will not be-
come candidate.
For Senatorial Primary.
At the conclusion of the address
he asked all in favor of a state pri-
mary to name the senator for Clay's
successor to stand, and fully three
fOurths of nearly four thousand pres
ent rose, when the reverse was put
not one arose. The speaker stated
that he was ready for any questions
that might be asked or requests
made. There was no questions and
the large audience filed out of the
building quietly.-Athens Banner.
