How the Popullet Statesman Ro«e,
Reigned and Fell—Hla Dramatic
Speech In the State Convention
Twenty Year, Ago—How He Final
ly Petered Out.
The Brunswick Journal, edited by
Sam Small, gives the following Inter
esting sketch of Tom Watson's ca
reer:
Over twenty years ago. In the fa
mous Colqultt-Norwood convention,
there sat a slim, red-headed, sharp-
featured young man as a delegate
from McDuffie county. Few of the
great leaders In that notable body
looked In his direction. He was a
country lawyer of only local acquain
tance.
But there came a psychological mo
ment In the stormy proceedings of
that memorable convention when
some voice was needed Instantly to
steady the wnverlng minority that
was opposing Colquitt and demanding
the enforcement of the two-thirds
rule. At that Instant the lank, but
square-jawed young provincial arose
and cried, "Mr. Chairman!" in such
a rifle-shot tone as commanded that
officer's recognition and tho startled,
silent attention of the entire conven
tion.
Then, with flashing eyes, flushed
cheeks, froward torso, dramatic ges
tures nnd vibrant voice he began a
rapid-fire, eloquent, sarcastic and de
nunciatory speech that grew more pas
sionate ns period after period explod
ed from his lips. At first the body
was amazed, then Interested, then
aroused to enthusiasm anti finally. In
cluding friends nnd foes, carried to
Its feet in vociferous admiration. And
when this unexpected Demosthenes
of a dry-us-dust law shop ended his
appeal lor faithful and regular Democ
racy by saying that If that vessel
whose hull had carried the hopes nnd
aspirations of the common people for
n century was now to be wrecked on
the treacherous bar of personal poli
tics, then
"Nall to the mast her holy flag,
Bet every threadbare sail.
Anti glvo her to tho God of Storms,
The lightnings and the gale!"
the scene was almost tragic In the
frenzy of his partisans, tho rage of the
baffled majority and the mad Joy of
tho on-looking mob j that bad been
hypnotized by hit spelt-bidding and pa

the place one week ago.
Mr. Stokes, In referring to the girl’s
determination to take up her old oc
cupation, said:
Miss Pastor wanted to go-back to
her old trade. She wanted to feel
Just as she felt when she was work
ing In the cigar factories of Cleveland.
As she folt that way, I advised her to
go at once. Later It would be Incon
venient. Now she could do so with
out trouble. When we are married It
would not bo so easily done.
Her principal object In going back
was to better appreciate the spirit
that actuates the girls she worked for

mates, as she desires to do. Just how
long she will stay In the factory Is

8ome Good Advice.
An exchange offers the following
wholesome \advico to the farmers, as
well ns to others who employ help
“Keep on the right side of your hired
man. Trent him well so long ns he
is in your employ, nnd If he does not
deserve good treatment, or respond
to It, do not keep him. A good hired
man will appreciate good usage and
kind favors and pay for them by the
extra amount of better quality of his
services. It Is courtesy to treat all
men decently. It the case of your
hired man. it is also policy nnd econ
omy. Re liberal with him, not only
at the table, but give him occasion
ally a spare day for amusement and
recuperation. Any Intelligent Hired
man will work harder and perftrm'
hit labor better when he feels that hla
employer appreciates weell doing."

big pack train and camp post outfit of
President Roosevelt's Colorado hunt
ing party received hurry-up ordera to
move today, and Guides “Jake" Borah

by the citizens. At the head of the
procession will be a large browt^bear

captured nnd he is now at the home of
Prank Hilliard, where he has killed
at least a dozen dogs and Injured sev
eral men who ventured too near him.

of hounds In a corral, and the bear
will be given an hour’s start for the
hills. Then the packs will be set on
the trail, and President Roosevelt,
Dr. Lambert, Philip B. Stewart and
the guides will follow In hot pursuit.
This Is planned to be the official start

No woman can afford to ignore her shoes unless she hands in
her resignation to polite society. For her shoes determine her
walk, and her walk decides her style, and her carriage, her pos
ture, her whole attitude and bearing as she moves about.
A lady’s shoe should
always be light weight
and flcxibto to the
foot to enablo her to
walk in an easy, and
graceful manner.
