Senator Thomas E. Watson Has
Had Unique and Successful Career

outside the city limits OF cities, towns
and villages. This resolution, carry
ing an appropriation for experimental
free delivery, was the foundation OF
the present system, which has been
declared to be one OF the greatest CIV
ilizing agencies OF this country.
Mr.. Watson's loyalty to the primer
pies oil the Farmers Alliance plat
form. which he felt had put him in
congress, rather than adhering to the
name of democrat caused his position
to be severely denounced by organic
ed democratic leaders and almost bit
ter and determined warfare against
him was declared. 1t was during the
campaign OF 1892 for reelection to
congress in opposition to the Hon. ],
c. c. Black that one OF the bitterest
campaigns in the political history OF
Georgia was fought.
In 1896 the Peoples party number
ed about 100000 voters and had l.
500 newspapers. A plan was made to
unite the democratic and peoples, par
ties by the nomination OF Mr.. Bryan
for president and Mr.. Watson for vice
president, but the plan miscarried, re-
sulting in the disbanding of the PEG
pies party movement, and for eight
years the populists OF the south made
no concerted effort to do anything.
During this time Mr.. Watson turn
ed his attention to literature, which
resulted in the publication OF histori-
cal works, such as The Story OF
France" The Life OF Napoleon,
"The Life and Times of Thomas JET
ferson," and Bethany" 1t may be
stated that Mr.. Watson's work on
France are considered standard and
are widely used in the study of that
country.
In October, 1906 the Weekly Jef-
fersonian was established and in De
cember the first number OF the Jeffer-
sonian Magazine was published.
In 1907 The Life and Times Of
Andrew Jackson" was written and in
1908 a monograph of the Battle OF
Waterloo was finished.
In the recent nomination for Unit
ed States president Mr.. Watson polled
a fattering vote, but perhaps the
GROWING accomplishment OF his lite
was the successful campaign OF 1870,
in which he won the nomination for
United States senator Nearly all Of
the great daily newspapers OF the
state together with the weekly press
were aaginst him. He made his own
way mostly through his weekly news
paper, The Columbia Sentinel, pub
lsihed at Thomson.

P. 0. BUSINESS. METHODS

Mr. VIII H. Hays. postmaster gen
eral, gets out pamphlet addressed
to the postoffice employees showing
what great organization the post
Office department is; also shows great
numbers Of figures to prove its inn
mensity. Nowhere IN his figures does
he show, however. where the depart
ment has paid the newspapers, espe-
cially the country papers, for the
thousands of dollars worth of adver-
Using furnished this same depart
ment. Every time there is to be an ex-
animation for a postal clerk, rural
mail carrier. or postmaster at the
| mailer offices this same immense or
ganization sends out to the local post
master a notice of such examination
that consumes abount forty lines of
advertising space, which would cost
the local business man from to 10
cents line, and asks that the local
newspaper publish it as a matter of
news. In most instances these re-
quests are complied with. Who pays
the freight?
In this same pamphlet he shows
that the government furnishes over
2.750, 100000 printed envelopes to the
people at price that no printer can
| possibly meet as the government con-
tracts for its envelopes in larger guam
titles than any other concern can do
These envelopes are delivered to their
destination free to the consumer. The
local newspaper Is usually in the job
/ printing business, but get no free
i delivery on its envelopes, consequent
ly can not meet such competition and
loses just that amount of business
that legitimately belongs to it from
/ the fact that it pays its taxes and
license to do business in this line. He
says this saves the people great
amounts of money in a year, which il
a fact 1t would also save the people
great amounts of money if the gov.
eminent went into the grocery bust
ness and furnished the people with
their eats on the asme basis-in fact
this plan would save money for {
thousand people where the envelope
proposition reaches one man. So tn.
printer seems to be about the onl.
one who comes in direct contact with
the governments generosity in sup
plying commodity.
j If the average business house eoulC
eliminate its publicity expenses i
would also be AN IMMENSE organi
cation and the proprietors could puff
up with their own Importance.

DIR. Adolf Lorenz, the noted Aus
trian surgeon, will remain in America
though snubbed by some members OF
the merical profession. Hundreds will
be benefited through his free clinics
who otherwise would never have had
chance to pay for medical serv-
ices Orlando Reporter-Star.
1t seems to the Star that if this
Austrian physician is such a public
benefactor. he had better give his
free clinics in his own country, where
the people need food, medical atten-
ton and everything else necessary to
sustain life. The reason why Amer
lean physicians are not ELUSIVE to-
ward him, they say, and they are
probably right, is that he isn't doing
any more real good than any ordinary
physician could do. He, however,
raises false hopes in the minds of the
credulous, and when these relapse
the patients are worse off than be-
fore. There is no use in exporting
curists of any kind to America Our
physicians and surgeons are the most
skilled in the world.

out Of the war. In the meantime, in
the United States. both democrats and
republicans sympathized with the Al
lies. However, the return of the lib
erals to power in Canada does not
mean a reputation of Canadian war

revise economic conditions. It is I'M

trade relations with the United States,
but our people, under the control of a

The Star very heartily supported
President Wilson's policy toward the
league of nations, because it believed
the league would help preserve the
peace of the world. It sees a great
difference in the plan for an associa-
ton of nations, proposed by President
Harding, but believes that would alse
make for peace and good understand
ing, and therefore it will support Mr.
Harding's idea. 1t seems to the Star
that such things should be above
partisanship.

The recent election in Canada puts
the liberal party back in power, and
the liberal party in Canada CORE
spends to the democratic party in the
United States. 1t was the liberals
under the leadership of Sir Wilfred
Laurier who tried to effect reciprocity
with the United States during the
Taft administration. The defeat of
this proposition put Canada in the
hands of the conservatives, who cor
respond to the republicans on this side
OF the line. But the party definitions
were rather vague, for when the
world war broke out the conservatives
were with Great Britain and the Al
lies, while the liberals, still under the

Alexander William Hutton Wynne
was born in Belfast, ireland, in 1888.
He was son Of Alex Wynne and
Mary Arbuckle Wynne, the eighth
child of thirteen His father was di-
vision superintendent of the Royal
Mail which ran from Belfast to Liver
pool
The life of Alex Wyline would make
romance. He was a Mason, having
received his 32nd degree before COM
ing to his country, and having the
honor of helping % receive the Prince
of Wales into the lodge in London.
With the death of Alex Wynne ends
long line of Alex Wynnes, there
having been one of that name in the
family for generations before him.
When boy he was considered a mus
lical prodigy. He was choir boy in
cathedral in London for seven years,
until his voice changed In the acad-
envy where he was educated he re-
fceived high honors, being presented
with numerous medals for Greek and
Latin. and receiving several scholar
ships. He was then apprenticed for
newspaper work on the London Times,
which career he followed after coming
to the United States.
i At the age of thirty-three he came
to America, having been given two
thousand pounds by his father to
make a two-years' visit. He landed in
New York and for several months Wis
tied the larger cities, finally going to
New Orleans, where he accepted a
position as assistant editor on one of
the big dailies, which position he held
; for five years. From there he went
to Houston, Tex, and then to Beau
mont, holding the Office of mayor of
: that city for several years. He was
: for time editor and owner of The

5 and ten-acre orange grove, arriving
4 just in time to have the grove cut
! down by the big freeze and all his
e money lost in the First National
t Bank failure in 1895.
S The life of Alex Wynne may read
