Mr. W. B. Feagle, of the J. W.
Burke Co., Macon, Ga., writes: “I
think that it is my duty to commend
you for your remarkable qualities;
not only as a business man, but also
as a personal friend- I have been
with you long enough to know you
and, not only that, but the kind af
fections with which your character is
possessed, have taught me to regard
you as one of the most commendable
persons whom I have ever met. You
are due to be honored for the in
terest which you take in your stu
dents. It is, doubtless, that you
recognize their good qualities always.
If there is a person whose friendship
you have not, I am quite sure it is
one who has never known you.”

Additional Letters From the
[People
THIS IS THE MODEST HERO WHO
ACTUALLY DID WHAT THE
COWARDLY A. W. FORCE
CLAIMS TO HAVE DONE.
Dear Tom: Yours received and
wool' 1 have answered sooner, but
have oeen feeling so badly for two
or three days. In reply to yours
will say I have no recollection of
ever hearing of Capt. A. W. Force.
Our command which was the 12th
Georgia Batallion, we were at Fort
Waggner, but we could not hold it
under the fire of the Gun Boats, so
we were ordered to Garrison Fort
Sumter, and there it was the sec
ond bombardment of Fort Sumter
that the flag you remember about
was shot down and I went and re
placed it back in its place. You
sure remember well. I did send a
piece of that flag to my mother, and
I believe to this good day, had it
not been for the prayers of .my good
old mother, and my dear little sweet
heart, which was afterwards my dear
loving wife, I never would have
come out of Fort Sumter alive.
Tom, ask John Wilkerson if he
remembers anything abcut Force; I
never heard of him before as I rec
ollect. My best regards to all the
family. ■ G. H. EMBREE.

THE APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE
SOLDIERS’ HOME OUGHT TO
BE GIVEN DIRECT TO THE
SOLDIERS AT THEIR
HOMES.
Dear Mr. Watson: I would like to
have your views on the pension laws.
I, as well as others, don’t think there
is any right in the way they have it
now. Just because a lot of us old
Vets who have worked hard and
lived hard and saved up maybe a lit
tle over fifteen hundred dollars, we
are not entitled to a pension and we
went to the war and fought and ran
the risk of losing our lives and came
back with nothing, for I didn’t get
anything for my services and have
worked hard and lived to try to
have something and now have to
work hard in my old days to help
pay pensions to those who probably
didn’t try to have anything and ran
through with what they did have try
ing to have a good time, and a lot of
them drank up what they made. It
looks hard to me for us poor old
Vets to have that to do. I don’t
think it’s right. What do you think?
There are not many of us left now and
I think they might divide with us
awhile. John N. Holder says he
agrees with me on my views and that
he is ready to lend any effort to the
accomplishment of the amendment,
so I think you can be of more help
than anybody I know of, because I
consider you the smartest man we
have in the U. S. I will be very
thankful to you if you can help us
out in any way and would be glad
if you would have something to say
about it in your paper. Probably
that would be the cause of others to
be of help. Mr. Watson, I certainly
do enjoy reading your paper and am
glad you tell us so much about the
rascality that is going on. If it were
not for you, we would know nothing
of it. They are afraid to tell it, or
they are all rascals —one don’t know
which, so you go ahead and tell it
all. Hope you can be of help to us,
as you have a lot of influence. Wish
iing you God speed, I am,
Your true friend,
J. A. PORTERFIELD.

THEY WON’T PERMIT WATSON’S
FRIENDS IN THE HOME.
Dear Friend: I am accused by the
matron of the Home of having sent
the article that appeared in the last
Jeff, also the piece that was in the
December magazine. I had nothing
to do with either, but I indorse it in
full, as it was written, but I knew
nothing about it until I saw it in
print. I am informed that any man
in favor of Thos. E. Watson would
be turned out of the Home, if they
have to tell lies on him to do it;
now, if they jump on me with both
feet and without a cause, except that
I am a friend to Thos. E. Watson,
(I was a friend of yours many years
before the Home was set up). I ex
pect to live and die a friend of yours,
so long as you stand for the rights of
Old Man Peepul. If they don’t mind
and make another attack on me I
will give your worthy paper the truth
and nothing but the truth from a to
z of the soldiers of Georgia, and I
think that would be justice to my
self and all the other old boys. If a
man was to take a stick and batter
my head as it has been done in two
different cases, the first one resulted
in death, he better do me as the first
one did.
One gentleman in the Home in
forms me that the Bible comes first
for him to read, and your paper next.
I have had a great many calls for the
last Jeff. We know when Thomas E.
Watson speaks it is the truth, and
I think the day will come when you
will have more followers than you
have got now; it will be like it was
during the war—General Anderson
gave command at a long distance;
the old boys would say, “Tige has
treed,” and I think the time will
come when you give command and
Old Man Peepul will say, ‘‘Tom has
caught them.” Rally round the polls
and keep those traitors out. I will
close by saying I am your true friend,
AN OLD VET.

ANOTHER MISSIVE ABOUT THE
SOLDIERS’ HOME.
Dear Sir: I hope you will push the
charges you are bringing against the
Soldiers’ Home to a thorough investi
gation. If you need any information
as to the character of G. W. Miller,
the present superintendent, you can
get all you want from any old reliable
citizen of Powder Springs, Ga. lam
in full sympathy with you in all your
efforts looking to the betterment of
conditions, political and otherwise, in
Georgia. Very truly yours,
INTERESTED.

Comment: I trust that our Pow
der Springs friends will tell us about

A VET ASKS SOME PERTINENT
QUESTIONS.
Dear Sir; If Supt Force of the
Soldier's Home is a brave man, why
did he not fight T. S. Pylant, an old
veteran, who cussed him for every
thing he could lay his tongue to, and
dared him to go 30 yards away from
his office that he might give him a
whipping? Why did he not fight
old man Few when he went to his
room some weeks before the coward
ly assault, and Few told him he was
ready to fight it out? Why wait for
all that time, then after consulting
in the morning with Amos 1 ew did
the said Force tell Mrs. Chesire the
matron to go to town and remain?
Why did he, a man who never car
ries a cane, arm himself with a
heavy cudgel and go down under the
brow of the hill and assault a man
13 years older than himself?
Did his friend Amos Fox tell him
to beat this man? Did his friend
Amos Fox, after the beating say he
was glad of it, and wished he had
given him one for him?
Was the matron rejoiced when
she heard that old man Smith could
not get Few in a hospital f

Tom Watson Melon
Introduced to the growers of this section by
me, nine years ago. Owing to its superior quali
ties in every respect, and its great productive
ness, it is the most popular melon, wherever it is
known. I have been growing melons for the
market thirty years, and in all of my experience,
have never seen any melon that could equal the
Tom Watson, either for shipping or home use.
