A VALUED LETTER FROM AN OLD
FRIEND.
FRIEND.

Dear Mr.. Watson: I read one of
Shotgun-Watch Gray's editorials of
Aug. 18th. 1t looks like he is try
ing his best to insult you and all
your friends. I Joined the Farmers
Alliance just before the PEOPLES
Party was organized Cor assumed
that name.) I being young and I'M
educated was persuaded to cast my
first vote for Grover Cleveland. L
married lady that had more edu-
cation and sence than ]. We began
to read the Mission World and your
paper Peoples Party) By the
next election was the head of a
Populist family, and have always
voted that way Cor as near it as you
thought we could) I have four girls
and three of them are as proud of
their red locks as yourself. Two of
them have heard you speak, read
your literature, and think you a
great and good man.
That gun-Watch man of Atlanta,
said you were traitor and without
principle" | for one don't swallow
that, and | believe you have thous-
ands of friends that won't.
have heard lot of our sort say
that they would vote for Roosevelt
before they would for Wilson, be-
fore either of them were nominated.
Now if the Roman Catholics and the
Journal are going to unite against
men because they have your support,
and jump on you because you accept
these men and speak for them, I
think we might as we'll make
another Richelieu out of T. r. Bull
Moose.
1 have just question or two and
l am quitting:
LIST. You say the Journal is Will
sons official organ in Georgia.
Do you believe he (Wilson,) en-
dorses the Journals editorials since
you made the first speech for him
in Georgia?
End Did Roosevelt visit the Pope
while he was travelling a few years
ago in Italy?
l certainly enjoyed your visit and
speech at Wire Bridge; quite a num-
Der of people saw and heard you for
the first time.
May Gods blessings rest upon you
in your championship for the hum
ble.''
Sincerely yours,

SUCCESS FOR HOSTESS
LITTLE MATTERS IN WHICH TACT
COUNTS FOR MUCH.
Choose Your Guest 40 You Would
Shoes, Because They Flt-Lsarn
the Art Of Switching the
Conversation.

You may have q dinner with the
,est appointment and cuisine. and II
your guests are badly chosen the din
ner will be social failure.
Certain elements will not coalesce.
and the woman who tries to force the
process is counting an explosion.
Choose guests as you would shoes
because they at.
You may be catholic in your taste
and enjoy the butterfly without a
brain and the woman who Is all brain
without social grace, the artist or
musician, the snob who distrusts all
the clever coterie. the man who loves
gay story and the woman who Is
easily shocked.
But gather those friends around q
common board and you may count on
their boredom.
II you must have a mixed dinner,
pray for tact in the seating. "a man
cares what he eats. woman cares
whom she sits next"
Never seat your guests according to
social position. The practice makes
neither the dinner nor the hostess
popular. II you put the socially unim-
portant together. your entertaining
will never be success.
Custom has it that those who sit on
the right and left of the host and host
ess may feel themselves singled out
Tor attention-but choose for reasons.
Do not give your guests chance to
g1be at you as money worshipper or
one with an axe to grind.
Do not have dinners so large as to
prevent general conversation. Not all
who go out to dinner are blessed with
manners, and the hostess should have
1t in her power to go to the rescue Of
the guest who is neglected by her
neighbors.
Nor should your dinners be long or
heavy. The day of dozens of courses
Is past; the most brilliant diner-out
dnds 1t hard to shine when eating
through an over-elaborate menu.
Learn the art Of switching the con-
versation. Many a dinner is wrecked
because the hostess does not know
to SOP an argument that Is verging
on controversy. and has not the So
:ial sense to scent dangerous topics
Or sidetrack the bore.
Encourage brilliancy and gayety,
but keep sharp watch for wit that
stings and Jokes that tend to license.

assembly they would employ call
boy. and each was to pay his share
Of the expense. This boy was to call
any doctor who was wanted, without
disturbing the speaker, as 1t was en-

they were doing it to advertise with
out expense. So 1t all went well un-
til the afternoon when Strickland w.
Gilliland spoke. AS he was talking
away certain doctor had call from
the platform, and he walked out rath-
