WHILE BROWN KICKS TOM WAT
SON MAKES CONCILIA-
TORY TALK.

Madison, Ca, Aug. 31.-Thomas
E. Watson addressed a gathering of
about 1900 persons yesterday after
noon at Appalachee, in Morgan
county, the occasion being a barbe-
cue dinner for the benefit of the new
public school building being erected
by the citizens of that place. Mr..
Watson's address was very concilia-
tory in it's nature, and no unpleas-
ant utterances were voiced by him.
He did not refer to national politics,
either directly or indirectly.
In contrast to Mr. Watson's speech
was that Of j. J. Brown, unsuccess-
full candidate for commissioner of
agriculture, who had Watson's sup
port in the recent primary and con-
vention. Mr.. Brown declared that
he had been legally elected to the
office, and that had it not been for
an Illegal assumption of representa-
ton by some man who answered the
call of Chattooga county, he would
have been elected on the first ballot
at Macon.
In answer to the fertilizer trust
charge, he declared that the declara
tions made against him on the floor
of the convention were maliciously
false and were made solely to defeat
him.
