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 ne b; To Be Married to a Montreal Million aire, Who Gave Her $100,000 it t Starter—How the Young Woman Met the Man 8he It to Merry.
