THE JEFFERSONIAN
From One of the Distinguished Guests
at the House-warming
OM WATSON DEAD? WHY,
HE HAS JUST BEGUN TO
LIVE!
The house-warming given
T
by him on December 29th, perhaps
the most notable occasion, when one
considers the character of the trib
ute paid to the man, in connection
with the significance of the move
ment then and there inaugurated,
that has been witnessed in Georgia
during the life of one generation—-
excepting, of course, the movement
that led up to secession and that
which followed in the restoration of
Democratic rule in this State and
the South.
Thomson, the home city of Mr.
Watson, was given new prominence
on the occasion named, when 600 or
more patriotic Georgians gathered,
at a personally incurred expense
ranging from ten to fifty dollars, to
pay tribute to Georgia’s citizen and
literateur, and to co-operate with
him in a great work of political
purification and Democratic rehab
ilitation.
I do not believe that any in Amer
ica could have gathered around him,
from his own State the voluntary
delegations that journeyed to Thom
son on that date. Certain it is, that
circumstances considered, none have
been thus honored.
No man in Georgia, or America,
for that matter, has been more un
der the glare of political criticism
than Tom Watson. No man has been
more daring and persistent in an
swering these criticisms and in de
nounoucing his critics. And yet he
stands before the people today, un
confined to Georgia, with more men
and women who believe in him be
cause they love him —rather than
that they harbor revenge against
somebody or some defeat —than any
figure in public or private life.
When one considers that the large
gathering that attended the install
ation of the plant which is to print
TheJefi'ersonians, (Mr. Watson’s two
periodicals,) come from thirty-seven
counties in Georgia, and that Flori
da, South Carolina,, Alabama land
Texas were represented, the estimate
herein placed on the meaning and
the scope of the meeting will not
appear overdrawn.
Mr. Watson received his guests
with an' ease and a hand-grasp and
a word of salutation that threw a
gleam on the causes that led up to
the worshipful regard held for him
by his people. A few of his immedi
ate friends, as many as could be
crowded into his home, — (which sits
in the center of a beautiful grove of
fifty acres, wehrein grows all the
shrubs, and every kind of tree knowm
to this section) —were met with car
riges, on the evening before the
assembling day. I may be pardoned
for interpolating that Mrs. Watson
bore herself in a natural grace that
was beautifully inspiring, while the
distinguished head of the house was
natural as the tree that grew under
his care. Excepting when discusss
ing some serious question that con
cerned the cause of freedom and
which involved the betterment of his
people, he adjusted his words to
every-day topic.
One could easily and readily dis
tinguish an element of greatness
that caught and bound men; while
observing that in one instance at
least, here was a man who did not
grow small on approach.
The crowd that gathered on that
eventful day:
There were two little girls from
Lincoln county, who rode with their
father, ina buggy, from 2 o'clock
Wednesday night, in order to break
fast with Mr. Watscn Thursday
morning. One of these little girls
was his namesake. There was a
man from Texas, who said:
“I have been reading about you,
and I have come 1400 miles to be
here this day and meet you.
The reply came quick; “You are
here —you see me—and you are wel
come.’’ There was the spectacular
Major McGregor, the true-hearted
H. P. Blount, the iron-ribbed Fred
Wimberly, the enthusiastic J. J.
Brown—all as loyal as men ever
grow. And this might be said of
every man present, for I believe
that most of them would brave death
for the Sage of Thomson, whose life
has been spent in what should
be called Independence Hall.
After this vast assemblage had
spent an nour in inspecting one of
the best equipped magazine plants in
the country, Mr. Watson mounted a
table. As he did so the whir of
machinery stopped, that the people
might listen to words of wisdom.
After he had instructed and enter
tained his audience in a speech of
30 minutes, Mr. Watson read a set
of resolutions -which were unani
mously adopted. These called for
a verification of express rates; a
real parcels post law; better method
of school book adoption and state
printing; and election of a United
States Senator for the unexpired
term by a direct primary.
A number of speeches followed the
presentation of these resolutions,
and each joined the author in saying
that they should be contended for by
them and their co-workers as Dem
ocrats, within the Democratic party.
The meaning of this movement as
I see it:
First it does away effectually with
all this silly and offensive talk of
Mr. Watson and his people being
antagonistic to the regular Democ
racy; second, it shows that Mr.
Watson is determined that his virile
energies shall not be lost to needed
reforms, state and national; third,
as a resultant force these will be a
reform nucleus built up in each
county in Georgia, not made up of
erratic or offensive but
of thoughtful, interested lay Demo
crats, who will respectfully and pos
itively insist that their public offi
cials live up to platform pledges.
All will journey again to Inde
pendence Hall on the fourth of next
July, and on each recurring Inde
pendence day, according to resolu
tions, and the next meeting will have
every county in Georgia represented.

DON’T STOP MY PAPER.
Don’t stop my paper, Tom;
Don’t strike my name off yet:
You know the times are stringent,
And dollars hard to get,
But I’ll work a little harder —
That’s what I mean to do,
And get the money together
And send it off to you.
I can’t afford to drop it;
I find it would not pay
To do without your paper, Tom,
However others may.
I would not ask my neighbors
To give me theirs on loan;
They’d seem to say to me;
“Why don’t you have your own?”
You can’t tell how I miss it;
If, it by any fate,
Should happen not to reach us
Or come a little late,
Then all is in a hub-bub
And things go all awry.
We cannot do without it, Tom;
You know the reasons why.
The young folks want the stories,
And I am anxious, too,
At first to glance it over
And then to read it through.
1 cannot do without it, Tom;
It is no use to try:
For other people take it, Tom,
And so you know, must I.
So Tom, dear, please don’t stop it
Unless you want my frown.
I’ve sent a year’s subscription:
You surely have it down,
So send the paper promptly
And regularly on,
And let us have it always
In this one happy home.

Instruction From the South
When Davy Crockett sat in the
national Legislature as a represen
tative of the state of Texas he had
many clashes with men of more ed
ucation but less wit than himself.
It is told of him that one day while
standing in front of his hotel on
Pennsylvania avenue, a swarm of
mules trotted by under the custody
of an overseer from one of the stock
farms in Virginia. A congressman
from Boston who was standing near
by attracted Crockett’s attention to
the unusual sight, saying: “Hello,
there, Crockett; here’s a lot of your
constituents on parade. Where are
they going?”
The celebrated hunter looked at
the animals with a quizzical glance,
and then turning to the other said,
quietly but with great emphasis.
“They are going to Massachusetts
to teach school.”—From Harper's
Weekly.
