ing rain without food or shelter, re-
sulting in the death OF the soldiers,
Thomas E. Watson was halted in his
address here this afternoon when an
ex-service man in the back of the
hall called him a liar.
That's a lie" came from there.
You're a liar" replied Watson in
stantly.
Watson seemed shaken for mo-
ment as he swayed unsteadily at the
edge of the platform
On the heels of a moments sill
ence, following the exchange of vel-
bal shots, the crowded school audi
forum became a mass OF shouting
and cheering men. Of Watson back
ers there was a noticeable sprink-
ling, and these were evident when
they tok up their idols cause from
the front seats with angry shouts and
gestures towards the rear of the
building. fractional lines seemed
drawn as the auditorium audience
took it's feet, and for moment 1t
was feared that free for all battle
would result.
Some one on the stage shouted for
quiet and Watson, seeking to regain
the attention of his audience, con-
tinued his speech at the top of his
voice.
Watson was shouting something
about free speech and free assemb-
lage when order was restored, and
from that point he leveled an attack
at the man in the rear of the hall
who had precipitated the demonstra-
ton. He charged the unidentified
man with being one of the brutal
officers" who had caused the death
of Georgia boys in France.
"You can't bulldoZe me nor break
up a peaceful assemblage," shouted
Watson, his gray name shaking, his
arms waving.
A young man in the front row,
too young to be such a rabid Wat
sonic, took up his masters cause
Justly, shouting that he had been in
France and forced to stand in the
rain.
With the exception of the sudden
outbreak, Watson's speech was high
ly entertaining. So was Hardwick's
The candidate for governor preceded
Watson on the program, 1t was
planned to hold the affair in the open
air, but a sudden and continued driz-
zle drove the crowd to the High
school auditorium.
Watson devoted the early part of
his speech to witty comment on an
editorial headed Dorsey for Sena-
tor" in Tuesdays issue of the Ma
con Telegraph. The editorial, read
in part by Watson to the audience
carried a few unfavOrable remarks
about Watson. He was charged
with aai1y G.? G.? { bgkbzbgk
with refusal to buy Liberty Bonds,
the editorial declaring that Watson
had said he was too poor. He made
no effort to deny that he refused
to buy bonds, but merely read the
paragraph, interpreting the charges
with affected laughs and bright re-
marks. His audience laughed itself
almost to tears, which encouraged
Watson to greater clownish efforts.
Hardwick suffered a slight inter
ruption in the midst of his address

HEARLIE HURLED
AT TOM WATSON
Sumter People Present
= At Near-Riot at Fl.
Valley

Curious to see Tom Watson in ac-
ton, after many years of retirement
from active campaigning, several
Sumter county people went to Fort
Valley by motor yesterday where Wat
son and Thos. W. Hardwick spoke
from the same platform at 4:30
o'clock. And they saw him in high
action when someone in the audience,
resenting the abuse he was heaping
upon the officers of the United States
army during the war, shouted That's
Lie" A near-riot followed, Wat
son shaking his fist in the direction
of the disturber and hurting invec-
tives at him as a dirty, autocratic
ex-officer."
The meeting was held in the High
school auditorium, a room seating
probably 500. Eevery available inch
of space was occupied, there being
probably 800 persons in the room.
Among the spectators were many wo-
men, some of the with babies in arms.
Many in the crowd were staunch
Watson followers, but not all, and
many were noticed quietly to resent
many of his statements. His speech
was short, and for the most part with
out point or purpose other than to
ridicule the Macon Telegraph and
the American Legion. He dwelt at
length upon your rights" preaching
to his hearers disrespect and suspicion
of all in auothrity in inveighing
against "autocracy" in this country.
He failed to recall to his hearers that
the officials he was denouncing are
elected by the people themselves in
this country, unlike autocracies with
which he compared our county. He
denounced President Wilson and Pal
mer as greater autocrats than the
Norman kings, but his condemnation
of the president failed to raise a
sound of approval and he left the sub
ject at once.
Among those going from Ameri-
Gus was W. T. McMath, Hardwick
worker here, who occupied place
on the stage.
The following news report of the
meeting, as furnished to the Macon
Telegraph, is a fair account of the
meeting:

also, the same man who had halted
Watson shouted elbow" at Hardwick
when he spilled some sentimental
stuff about "every beat of his noble
heart being as true to Georgia and
the United States as those palpita-
tions of Woodrow Wilson" Hard
wick suffered a bit but did not lose
his composure, clustering on with
out noticing the interruption.

Otoyo Wan Shew's
House Party

"Sing, is the carriage ready?'
asked OtOyo Wan SheW from the
doorway.
The girl who spoke was little
girl aged twelve.
yes, ma'am, it will be at the
door in few minutes" answered
Sing, the carriage driver.
In few minutes OtOyo, attired
in pink and white frOck, stepped
into the carriage and was off for the
depot, to meet her guest from
Plainsvlle. Kansas.
This guest was the first Of the
guests to arrive at the house party.
Otoyo arrived at the depot just as
the train was pulling in. The only
passenger who descended the train
was a rosy checked girl of twelve.
why, Elizabeth Sherlock, how
you have grown, 1t seems only a
day since you were that curly
headed girl of eight running around
the woods of your country home in
Kansas" said the excited Otoyo as
she gave Betty little bear hug.

see my dear little Otoyo again."
said Betty in tone of happiness.
they stepped into the carriage
while Sing attended to Betty's bag
gage. He soon came back and they
started for home or "The Beeches,"
the name Of Otoyos home.
As they turned in the avenue
which led to Otoyos home, Betty
gave cry of delight, "Oh. never
saw such a beautiful sight. My!
won't we have a splendid time?"
The avenue was lined on both
sides by large beech trees and the
lawn which encircled the Wan
Shew home was filled with small
bech groves.
After they arrived at the house,
and Betty had been shown to her
room, she dressed for luncheon.
About an hour after luncheon the
other two guests arrived, Harriet
Harrell, or Hetty, Barbara Dodge or
Babs.

day before the guests arrived.
After they had changed from
their travelling suits to cool simple
frocks. they lounged about in ham
mocks under the beech trees. AT
ter long period of silence, Otoyo
said. well, eirls. what do you want

Hetty.

time" said Hetty and Betty at the
same time.

Thus ended Otoyo's house party.

The Twins Get A
Birthday Present

Richmond, Ind, May 10, 1920.
Dear Aunt Polly:
see nearly everybody else is
writing for the Junior Palladium.
So | believe l will too. So here is
a short story:
Two Boys Birthday.
John and Frank were two little
boys and these boys were twins.
Their fathers name was. Arthur
Stevenson. Every day the boys
birthday grew nearer. At last it
was the next day. These boys al
ways did like cats, dogs, ponies,
goats and rabbits. That day the
father went to town and when he
got home the boys saw a box. He
never got home until half past five
that evening. Soon they had sup
per. The boys went to bed early
that night because of long days
play They got up early because it
was their birthday. When break
fast was over, their father said:
Open that box out there by the
she'd" They opened it, and what
do you suppose it was? A pony and
cart And now they could do err

Pale grey, tan and champagne are
favorite colOrs for men, while la
dies delight in the various shades
of blue, orange, purple and rose.
There are several ways of max
ing these handkerchiefs. The plan
of finishing the edge with a tiny
rolled hem held down by line of
single crochet with a picot every
half inch. is still popular.
The newest fashion is plain
hem put in with very fine thread,
or with the Rawlings. if colored
linen is used. Sometimes a very
narrow hem is basted in, held in
place by cross-stitching of colored
thread.
In whatever way the edge is
finished, fashion calls for colored
cords in the body of the handker-
chief. This is the way it is done:
Draw a thread evenly around the
handkerchief. Then skip one
thread and draw another. This
leaves one thread, with an open
space on either side. Take a
double length of colored floss and
tie the end of this middle thread
of the handkerchief to the loop of
the floss. Then begin at the other
side of the handkerchief, and pull
this middle thread carefully
through. The double colored thread
will follow easily, if your linen is
as loosely woven as it should be.
All sorts of designs may be car
ried out, though a few simple ones
are best for the mems handker-
chiefs.
Be sure to keep the work inn
maculately clean. Always have IL
folded in a towel, and, if possible,
keep a sweet-scented sachet among
your linens.

YOU Miss Smarty?" spoke up Babs.
None to you, thank you" an
swered Betty.
We'll, girls, if the plan suits you
| will arrange with Beck to fix our
dinner" said Otoyo.
"Be sure to have one of the
maids to go along to carry my
cushions and wraps" called Babs,
as Otoyo ran off to the house.
eve have no maids for that pur-
pose" OtoyO answered. "You will
have to carry them yourself, as we
are going on our ponies"
The girls soon followed Otoyo 10
the house. 81 think Otoyo might
have let her company have what
they wanted" said Babs.
That night at dinner Otoyo
asked, Girls, what kind of instru-
ments do you play?"
my mother was a great pianist,
so took up with it," said Babs.
when | was in Italy | played
some on my uncle's violin. but have
never been lucky enough to own
one" said Hetty.
Nov. Betty, what for you said
Otoyo.
Il have played some on a guitar,
mandolin, and saXophone," an
swered Betty.
"YOu girls go out on the porch
and | will be there in few min
utes," said Otoyo.
Otoyo played harp. They had
some instruments they never used
so she got them down from the
attic and let servants polish them
while she arranged three chairs
around the piano. In front of one
chair was a harp; on one was a
saXOphone, on one a violin and on
the floor beside it was a guitar and
a mandolin. She called the girls in
and they finished the evening with
music.
The sun was bright the next
morning. and the morning was
spent getting ready for the picnic
Come on, girls" cried Otoyo
They mounted their ponies and
rode mile till they came to the old
mill.
They played many games and at
last the maid called them to lunch.
my, isn't this grand?" said
Hetty; Il should like to camp
here"
The girls were eating when sud
denly Hetty cried, ooh, girls, did
you hear that"
Yes" said Otoyo, at was
thunder"
The thunder kept coming closer.
The girls began preparing to go
home.
"Oh, my silk dress will be
ruined" said Babs.
"YOu should have taken our ad-
vice and worn an old dress" said
Otoyo.
The girls rode hard and were
Just turning in the avenue when it
began to rain, but they did not get
very wet. They rested the rest of
the day as they were tired from rid
ing so hard.
The next two days passed as
happily as the first two days.
This party was to last only a
week. The next morning when at
the breakfast table there were lit
tie cards like this:

1--WE are to 20 home on The 5
o'clock train, Otoyo. How can we
be here?' said Betty.
Il have arranged that you shall
20 on the 900 o'clock train" said
Otoyo.
The morning and afternoon was
spent preparing for the evening.
The lawn was transformed into a
Japanese garden and the girls were
dressed as japanese maidens.
After the guests arrived, the girls
played many beautiful pieces of
music. During this the servants
were carrying tables out on the
lawn.
They had everything from soup
to ice cream. All went well until
the cake was passed. Hetty was
the first to taste it. ugh. how
awful! 1t tastes like red pepper.
Otoyo, come taste it," cried Hetty.
Il should say So" said Otoyo.
Il will call the cook and ask her
what she put in it,"
Beck, what dld you put in this
cake?" asked Otoyo.
Laws, Honey, | never put moth
ing in it but what the cook book
said insisted the good old cook.
The truth was that Babs had
slipped into the kitchen and put red
pepper in the cake while the cook
was out.
The cake was taken from the
table and another put on instead.
At last the time for the train
came and the girls went TO the
