COUNTY IS OVERRUN
With CANDIDATES

PlBRRE, May 13.-Stanley is the
largest county in the state, and as
such evidently believes in doing
things in a large way. As an evil

dates for the different elective posi-
lions this year, runs up to 1925, out
of which the people of that county
ought to be able to either select a
bunch of first-class officials-unless
they get tired of voting On primary
ballot with so many names upon it,

ties, All three national parties, in
their platforms Of 1912 have written
ex-popuiistic planks, therein! Who
will say that Tom Watson has not
taken advanced ground against Ro-
man Catholicism, and that a quar-
ter Of century from today, the
great Protestant churches will not
all have united under common
banner, and will be making common
cause against the powerful Roman
church, for their own preservation?
Say what you may Of him-no
man in Georgia has more loyal
following than Tom Watson. They
are found in all the walks of life.
They believe in him-they admire
his intellect, they have faith in his
honesty of purpose, and they love
him; thousands of them, if need be,
would shoulder arms" and march
to battle with the rising of tomor-
rows sun if Tom Watson issued the
orders: Forward March! Up, boys,
and at them" His power over an
audience of his admirers is almost
magical. During his speech at Apa-
lachee, not person left the
grounds, but all were entertained
and many charmed by his eIequence.

writer of these lines. has almost be-
come a political iconoclast in his be-
liefs and tendencies, particularly
with reference to reforms and refor-
mers. We have seen so many men
offer for public Office, crying for re-
form, and, with the passing of
single camOaiQn rQ1ancQa into ci-
lence. Especially has this Been true

full in their efforts to secure public

The History of The French Revolu-
tiOn, by Thos. Il. Watson. When the
Macmillan Company published ''The
Story of France" for some reason
they published an extra number of
the second volume. After disposing
of an even number of the two
volumes, MIR. Watson purchased all
of the second volume. The books are
handsomely bound, and printed ON
extra fine paper.
The second volume OF The Story of
France is a history of that era from
the end of the reign of Louis XIV, to
the consulate of Napoleon BOnaparte.

nants OF the ''old guard" of
Watson's loyal followers. They
came from Walton, Oconee, Greene,
Morgan, Putnam and Jasper, to hear
the red headed person of Thorn
son speak. They listened attentively
for an hour and half on a hot sum-
mer day, with as fine lot of barbe-
cued meat as Apalachee ever pre-
pared, roasting oyer the pit in full
smelling distance. They hung upon
his every word. drank them in as
they flowed from his eloquent tongue
as freely and as fiuently as the purl-
ing streamlet flows from the noun
tain spring.
Apalachee is noted for her cul-
tured citizenry, her hospitable peo-
pie, fine school building, and splendid
school, and-for her barbecues!
Kind reader, did you ever attend
a barbecue at Apalachee? Well, if
you have not, you have never known
just what real epicurean carnival
is. The art of cooking meats in bar
becue style has simply attained per-
lection in Apalachee. The Madiso-
Man will name half dozen "chefs"
of the pit from that little city,
headed by b.. M. Stovall, and enter
them against the State any day in
the Year in a cooking contest, around
the pit, and with basting pot. Dol
Few's "hot tAmale" would make a
Mexican shout for joy and adds a
zest to the barbecues Of that neigh
borhood distinctly and uniquely
Apalacheean."

school building last year, costing
over three thousand dollars The
county Board of Education paid a
portion of the cost of the building,
leaving the town to raise the other
portion. The Watson speaking and
barbecue were the result of efforts
on the part Of public spirited citi-
zens to raise funds with which to
finish paying for this splendid struc-
ture. The combination proved a
fine drawing card, and there were
several hundred people present.
The miniature valley between the
residence Of DR.. F. M. Prior and Mr..

y 1t is indeed an ideal spot for just
such an occasion and such gather
ing.
Whatever else may be said of
Tom Watson, he is never dull
speaker. While standing within
the range of his voice on this occa.
sion the writer remarked that the
orator had no small task-that of
entertaining crowd of several hun
dred people for an hour and half,
during time of political peace,
when there were no issues and no
campaign enthusiasm-noth with
which to arouse interest except the
witchery of his words. An Hercu-
lean task we'll performed! The old
"ex-pops" cheered him to the echo,
and it reminded one of veritable
political camp-meeting, with many
hearty "amens" from the audi
ence. Watson lacked some of the
fire of former days. Time has per-
haps softened and mellowed his err
ratio soul, and he spoke with an
unusual degree of conservatism. He
