CURTIS BARRETT TELLSOF
HIS REPLY OEDMONDSON
Young GAINESVILLE Lawyer Suddenly, Leaps to
Fame For Vigorous Challenge of Sol
- diers' Defamers

nounced the statements of Grover
Edmondson, Watson's lieutenant, and
then stood his ground on the plat
form in the face of yells of "Put him
out" until Watson himself adjourn
ed the meeting.
Barrett literally became famous
over night. Until the Watson meet
ing, he was simply a quiet young
fellow of thirty-one or two, born and
raised in Pike county, student at the
University of Georgia, practicing
lawyer, American private attached to
the French army and serving twenty
three months in France, a member
of Leon Martin Post, American Le-
gion, named after another Pike coun-
ty boy-a private, too-who laid
down his life in France.
kilograms of Congratulations.
He still is just that, but he is
something else, too, today-the
synonym for courafe and manhood in
the minds of thousands of Gcorgians
the state over. Many of them told
him so in kilograms and letters that
poured in on him in bales Thursday,
and others told him so face to face
at the Kimball House Thursday
night.
Barrett came to Atlanta late
Thursday on business. He arrived
about $3.50 in the evening after a
hard motor trip through the country,
to be met by reception that hon
estly amazed him.
In the lobby of the Kimball mem
bers of the Atlanta Legion posts had
been waiting for him more than an
hour. When they found he had
slipped in unobserved through the
lobby crowds, they went up to his
room.
"Come in" said Barrett, and in
they went.
None of them knew him before
all were wondering little just what
kind of chap he was.
They found slim, wiry young
man standing at the door with out
stretched hand, dressed in a gray

to hear me. But-well, you'd be sur

watson jumped up like a mad dog
and ran to the front of the stage and
shook his fist and yelled. They're
trying to break up my meeting! They
did it at Fort Valley and they're try
ing to do it here! In two seconds he
had thousand men in an uproar.
He ran back to where l stood and
stuck his face, white as paper, into
mine and shouted, It's a concocted
scheme It's a concocted scheme!
"Well, I'll tell you-when l get

some it goes in. Met goes in.

been in my life, but it went in and

they all heard me, too:
"Mr Watson, you were an invited
guest here, and | treated you as an
invited guest. No matter what you
said, l didn't interrupt you. But this
man Edmondson was not invited to
speak, and no man with an ounce OF
red blood in him could sit still and
listen to what he said.
Stood His Ground.
''While ] was talking, the Watson
ties down in front were yelling Put
him out! put him out! A bunch OF
them started toward me and they got
as close to me as you are right
now"
Barrett was grinning that whimsi-
cal, boyish grin while he told it.
''But they stopped. l just folded
my arms-I was cool. | believe

me out, l dare you to put me out.

Curtis Barrett, of GAINESVILLE,

handyman, during his attacks We'd

being adjourned by Watson. He
now has been endorsed for state

a business trip to Atlanta and i'm
mediately upon his arrival became
the center of interest, where he was
forced to tell over again the story
of his interruption of the meeting.
Warde Greene, in the Atlanta Jour

Atlanta as follows:

He grinned sheepishly at the crowd
of men, old and young, some white
haired, some just turned twenty-one,
some American Legion members and
some not, who had swarmed into his
room at the Kimball House Thurs
day night to shake his hand and clap
him on the back and tell him they
were "for him" heart and soul.

morous possibilities in this pictare
but does not begin 10 do justice 10 the
unusual comedy theme which prevails
through the entire production II Is
one OF the pictures that pleases be
cause OF its genuine humor its lack
OF slapstick methods. and its clean
production OF real American comedy.
Add to all these the pleasing person
ality Of owen Moore and you have
the reason why.
In the character of Henry Baird,

self religiously TO avoiding his tailoe
and other creditors, Moore has one Ui
the best parts he has ever been civ.
en-. His unlimited capacity for com.

possible for one man to cause and
the way he gets himself out OF lis
