WATSON IN GEORGIA.
As Result Of Underwood Fight Popu-
list Gets Ascendancy.


Thomas E. Watson, high mogul and
chief muckman of the recent Under
wood campaign in Georgia, has set his
head to boss or break the state con-
vention in Atlanta on May 29th. That
is a self-evident proposition, "as the
dogs meat man said when the house
maid told him he warn't a gentle
man." Mr.. Watson is not content
with the mere consciousness Of having
won the primary nor with the lip
credit which his co-mates in the Un-
derwood cause have so profusely given
him. In sooth, he is a practical man,
looking as he always does for prac-
tical pay And he is going to get it
now-in one form or another.
Mr.. Watson began a few weeks ago
by modestly demanding for himself
the craftsmanship Of the Georgia dele
CATION to Baltimore. His allies in the
fight-the gentlemen whom he now
refers to as "a bunch of self suff1-
cient city politicians" - demurred
rather gently to this request. But
they bowed very respectfully and
smiled the best they could and said
that. Of course, If Mr.. Watson really
wanted to go as a delegate. why, go
he should. Ever since then they
have been trying to digest his mani
festo: "I'll head the Georgia dele
cation or know the reason why"
But Mr. Watson's ambition Is like
the genie on the Arabian vase. 1t
continues to unfold, rising higher and
thicker until now it wholly ENVELOPES
the forthcoming state convention.
mere delegates place? Tush, that is
nothing compared to what he wants.
The craftsmanship of the delegation?
A mere bagatelle. He is going to
take complete charge of the conven-
ton from first to last, name its Of
ficers, settle its differences, deter
mine its programme and even deter
mine it's color; for, as he declares in
the current issueof his Jeffersonian,
ut is going to be a re-headed con-
vention from start to finish"

MONUMENT TO INDIAN BRAVERY
The "Fool Indian Band" that Rescued
White Captives from Savages.


The story of the Fool Indian Band
is unique and has no parallel in the
history of the country.
Nearly half a century ago a drama
was enacted on the spot where this
city now stands It was in the year
Of the terrible New Ulm and Man
kato massacres in Minnesota in 1852
when all the men fit for service were
engaged in the battles Of the civil wal
and only defenceless women and chill
dren and men who were unfit to go to
the front were left to take care of the
homes of the settlers.
In this unprepared state these were
an easy prey to the murderous In
dians, and hundreds were slain before
a force strong enough could be raised
to drive the redskins across the Mis-
souri,. When they retreated they took
with them a party Of white women
and children, and by forced marches
veached this spot.
One cannot appreciate the feelings
of these hapless captives as they were
hurried across the plains to what was
worse than slavery. But something
touched the hearts of their younger
captors, who, under the leadership
Of Chief No Heart, decided to get the
captives to their homes and to their
relatives and friends.
Daring the tortures they knew
would be theirs if their undertakings
should fail they called their captives
into play. and eluding the main camp
after many hardships and weary days
succeeded in returning the captives
to their relatives and friends, who had
long since given them up for dead.
After forty years congress rccog-
niZed the bravery of the band by CIV
ing each Of the survivors a small med
al, and later, after all but two had
gone to the happy hunting grounds,
the state of South Dakota erected a
shaft of red granite with the inscrip-
tion: "Shetek Captives Rescued
Here November, 1862, by the Fool
Indian Band" The shaft was erec-
ted on June Is, 1909. and the only
historical monument erected by the
state of South Observation-Disclosures

taking 1t upon themselves to say who
shall be the officers Of that conven-
ton and who shall be delegates to
Baltimore"
How preposterously impudent Of
those "city politicians!"
Do they not know that 1t is Thom-
as E. Watson and he alone who has
the right to name the officers, name
the delegates and run the whole con-
vention?
Was it not he who made the Shiny
trail over which these "city politi-
clans" stepped lightly to victory?
Did he not father and send abroad
the filthiest falsehood of all the cam
paign, the libel which led their cause
to success?
Verify, Mr.. Watson did the most
characteristic and the most effective
work of the Underwood campaign in
Georgia; work which nobody else
could have been hired to undertake.
He should have his reward. He
should not only be chairman Of the
delegation to Baltimore but he should
also name, as his personal staff, the
delegates who are to accompany him,
and we suggest that the politicians
can best save themselves further en-
barrassment by simply letting Mr..
Watson meet with himself in Atlanta
on May 29th, declare himself the
Georgia delegation, fully empowered
to cast the states twenty EIGHT votes.
He is best fitted to carry on and per-
feet the work for which he is thus
far responsible. Let him be in fact,
as he is in effect, the whole show
ring master, acrobat, and clown.-At-

IN DEFENSE OF BURGLAR.
He Has an Economic Value, and We
Can't Do Without Him

Can't Do Without Him
Give the burglar term in the peni-
tentiary or shoot him, IL you will, but,
for conscience sake, don't reform him!
We need him in our business, says Lip
pincott's Magazine. He is worth to us
every day of the year ten-fold more
than he ever costs us. Looking at the
matter wholly from an industrial and
economic point of view, we can better
do without the preacher than the burg
lar.
Exterminate the burglar, and 10000
persons would be out of work, and more
than $45,0OO,OOO a year withdrawn
from trade.
There are alone no less than $4,000
good American citizens earning their
livelihood as private watchmen, at a
combined salary of something like
s17,OOO,OO a year. And all because of
the burglar.
More than $1,000,000 capital is in
vested in the manufacture of burglar
alarm or indirectly. fully 1000 law
abiding family men are dependent
of the industry. And there are 40
manufactures Of safes-burglar-p proof
safes-with a combined capital Of
$5,OOO,OO0, paying out each year for
wages and material nearly $4,000, 600,
and giving support to not less than
1000 workers-mechanics, laborers,
clerks bookkeepers, statesmen and so
on. What would become Of these men
and women and all the millions Of in
vested capital should the burglar
hearken to the voice of Moses and quit
his stealing?
Then there are the makers and the
sellers Of firearms. Five hundred
thousand guns year are sold for fam
lily use as protection against burg
lars, representing a gross revenue Of
something like $3,50O.0O0. Without
the burglar what would this business
look like? Like the center Of a dough-
nut. And those families that are
afraid Of pistols keep dogs, watchdogs,
and the trade In watchdogs amounts
each year to over $1,0O0,O0O. All the
watchdogs of the United States (2,500,-
900 of them) have to be fed at least
twice a day. At only 2 cents per diem
for bones and scraps for each dog,
the income to the butcher from this
source alone, thanks to the burglar,
amounts to $17,O0O,0O0 a year.
Even our recreations and amuse-
ments are dependent upon the bur-
glar. What would our comedies and
melodramas be without the burglar :?
And the detective stories-what would
become Of them and their authors
and their publishers were the burglar
no longer available as character?
The plays and the books in which he
figues have an annual commercial
value of nothing less than $1,000,000;
and this without attempting to esti-
mate the value Of the pleasure afford
ed the public. In short, we must have
the burglar. We can't do without

BEDTIME INDIAN STORY.
Story for Today from Old Lore Of Man
and OK.

Story for Today from Old Lore Of Mar
and OK.
| Long ago a man owned a very
strong OK. The owner was so proud
Of his OK that he boasted to every
man that he met about how strong his
OK was.
One day the owner went into 6
village and said to the man there: 81
will pay a forfeit Of one thousand
pieces of silver If my strong OK can
not draw a line Of one hundred wag'
ons."
The men laughed and said: VERY
well, bring your OK, and we will tie
a hundred wagons in a line and see
your OK draw them along"
So the man brought his OK into the
Village. A crowd gathered to see the
sight. The hundred carts were in line
and the strong OK was yoked to the
first wagon.
Then the owner whipped his OK and
said: Get up, you wretch. Get
along, you rascal"
But the OK had never been talked
to in that way, and he stood still
Neither the blows nor the hard names
could make him move.
At last the poor man paid his for
felt and went sadly home. There he
threw himself on his bed and cried:
"Why did that strong OK act so?
Many a time he has moved heavier
loads easily. Why did he sham be-
fore all those people?"
At last he got up and went ahout
his work. When he went to feed rhe
OK that night, the OK turned to him
and said: why did you whip me to-
day? You never whipped me before.
Why did you call me wretch and
| 'rascal?' You never called me hard
names before"
Then the man said: II will never
treat you badly again. I am sorry I
whipped you and called you names. 1
will never do so again. Forgive me-"
Every WE'LL" said the OK. "Tomor-
row I will go into the village and
draw one hundred carts for you. You
have always been a kind master un-
til today. Tomorrow you shall gain
what you lost"
The next morning the owner fed the
OK we'll and hung a garland of flowers
about his neck. When they went in
to the village the men laughed at the
man again.
They said: "DO you come to lose
more money!"
To-day I will pay a forfeit of two
thousand pieces of silver II my OK
is not strong enough to pull the one
hundred carts" said the owner.
So again the carts were placed in
line and the OK was yoked to the first.
A crowd came to watch again. The
owner said: Good OK, show how
strong you are! You fine, fine crea-
ture!"
He patted him, and at once the OK
pulled with all his strength. The carts
moved on until the last cart stood
where the first had been.
The crowd shouted and they paid

LETTER FROM CHEROKEE.
corresp pondent Makes Additions to List
of Confederate Dead.

of Confederate Dead.
Correspondence The Yorkviiie Enquirer
Wilkinsville, May 1.-The Enquirer
in the procuration and publishing Of
the list Of Confederate dead buried in
the various cemeteries in York county.
This Is an invaluable record and the
lovers Of history will appreciate it. It's
an accounting for many an obscure
man whose name was entirely forgot
ten. But as We read the list they come
back into our mind and call up many
sad and yet pleasant memories. To the
Ladies' Memorial association we take
off our hat and thank them. for what
they have done and are still doing for
our comrades. OF the 1923 names max
ing up the list published in last Fri
days paper we see many names we had
entirely forgotten. TO the list Of the
seventeen who are buried at Salem
Cherokee county, we would suggest
the addition Of James Brannen, Co. =,
18th regiment; Milton Watson, Co. D.,
7th cavalry, and William McKeown,
Sr., 3rd regiment, state troops
Add to the list buried at Hopewell
(now in Cherokee county,, John Love,
Co. =. 3rd s. C. regiment.
Sharon-R. K. Seahorn, Co. =, 5th
regiment.
Unity-W. H. White, Co. B. 18th reg
iment.
The name of Ezekiel Childers, Co. B,
18th regiment, should be changed from
Union cemetery, to Unity cemetery.
Unless there Is another man by the
name we know nothing of. If so our
Zeke has been overlooked. We make
these corrections, or rather additions,
at the request Of The Enquirer, and
hope our friend will find that we are
correct.
In looking over the list of dead at
Beersheba and finding the name Of
Pinckney McAfee, 1t calls to the writ
er's mind a series Of war "reminiscences
he had the pleasure Of publishing In the
Union Times several years ago, In
which Mr.. McAfee Is a conspicuous fig
ure. 1t relates to his returning home
after Lees surrender in 1865. He was
accompanied by Mr.. T. jeff Hughes,
now Of Cherokee, (then Union county,,
and we think will be of interest to his
family and friends as well as the gen.
eral reading public. We are sorry that
the preceding and succeeding chapters
have been mislaid and we are unable
| to put our hand on them just now But
we have them in our file of historical
papers and may be able to give them
later on.
Mr.. S. F. Estes one of our Oldest cit
liens, is lying critically Ill at this time.

work-a good deal Of their lands have

One Fish Story Spoiled.-Police

that. But the crook who should try
now to do as he pleases anywhere al
all in New York would be as badly

He caught nothing so, on his way

He got home late himself. His wife
said to him on his arrival:
well, what luck?'
why, spendid luck, Of course he
replied. Didn't the boy bring that
