WHO IS THE TRAITOR?
The Eon Thoma? t£. \V T atson is
on the stump and his harangues
are directed against the Detnoc*
rii^HI 'll wLiph has in
the past; honored Hi Hi with an
election/ He is very fon 1 of
pharginij it with all the ill? whi.ch
befall mankind, but says nothing
<>f the fact that €he Republicans
have been in power almost evqr
eincje the war. The bantaimr-
both in statue and statesmanlike
qualities—accuses all of the great
pemocrats as being traitors.
While ifr. Watson is {miking
all sorts of charges of corruption
/against his former comrades, it
may bo well to retrospect his qa-
rr-er just a little. ^°t so many
years ago he was a very rampant
Democrat and s^me pf us have
read some of his re<l hqt speechae.
Ee was elected to Congress as a
democrat, but immediately after
petting to. Washington announced
that he was a Bop—pure and
piyiple. Ee qyen had the nerve
rtin for Speaker—although it
„Vas- ’lis first entrance info na-
tiomu politics. If he had been
the honest, honorable piau that
{lie Atlanta News apd a few other
disgruntled papers in Georgia
gay he is, he wculd have surren¬
dered his commission and re¬
turned home. Bijt lie stuck and
drew his salary, notwithstanding
ho had deserted the friends who
had elected him. At the next
tdqqtion he gloriously de¬
feated by the able and staiuless
J.J.G. Blaefc,
Watson ia now advising his
follow. Georgians to vote for
Roosevelt against Barker-^fco sup¬
port thp mar* wlio has set the ex¬
ample of social equality and
paused mor# trouble between the
races than aqy other one man—
against an able, dignifie^ Ameri-
oan juiyst against whom even
Tom Wafsoq capnot trump U P
any charge. W at son says that
there is np. problem in the South,
ivnd this in the face of the recent
terrible murder of the Hodges
•family aud the Cedartqwn aud
other horrors. He knows better—
he simply fj^sifiqs., because he
imagine^ it is to Ins interest.
The truth is, Watson i| about
the bigges{ fraud iq Georgia. If
the Democsatic party w’as so ut¬
terly bad, why did he use it as a
means to ride into office ?.
Berrien county lias long been
the bgunef: Democratic county in
the Second district. Let us hojpe
that no man in the county will
to far fovget himself as to vote
for Vv^ at son. Watson says he ad-
mipe.-? Roosevelt, the man who
years ago wrote a book in
waiah. he maligned Jefferson
Davis—the peerless leader of a
\v>* but holy cause. Be admires
Roosevelt—the man whose book
justifies 1>> aching for horse steal¬
ing in tL^e West but condemns it
for the nameless crime in the
South.
If any man in Refriep co,uptv
has even thought of voting for
Watson he ought to repent in
sackcloth and ashes, He ought
to ji)e hnfied beneath such ap
avu|ajjche of ballots tluic he vrill
realize that (Georgians have their
self respect left, and are r.ofc yet
■early tq he led astray by a man
whfj deserted thjSijj upd is now
engaged in the unholy but 1
less - task , of disrupting ;■ * ‘ people.

Sketch 9 I Hr. Parr/sh’s Life.
Adel. Ga., Aug. 6,; 1804. —Editor Adel
News; Thinking, perhaps/ some goed
old time comrade might like fo know
that I am still on Jop side of terra firjua
I will endeavor tor let‘them ‘know some
thing of my. -whcre&bouts through-the
columns of our iittjs to wuvrefkiy “which
is cjeaij,, deceit ££d. Jthoroughly “Dem¬
ocratic, always stands up for the right
»}id poijil6J»i}ji the wropg. I wafTborn
in Downdes, eight miles -gmth of the
irwin cotonty lihe on the llth May of
Septemb er, 1834, so } on ipny see I will
reach my three score and ten nest Snu-
day, jf nxj life >3 prolonged until that
since y ‘ I seeu arrived ! 3 9$? a few shor^ years
at my majority. My
fj rs t vote was cast for Herchol V. John-
son for Goyernor jp Oct. 1$55, apd if l
mistake nof I voted the sr.me time fay
Stapler and Spain to represent Lowndes
county in the Legislature of Georgia at
which session or the next the bilf was
passed creating this (Berrien) county.
I married in Nashville ?7fh. day of
Aug. 1857, settled down there and vol-
unteered in the Confederate service
from there Aug. 1st, 1861, as a private
but was soon promoted to a 1st Lieuten¬
ancy in Co. K. 20th Reg t. Ga. volun¬
teers, remained with that command
nation jiu'i} the latter part of 1868. My resig¬
was tendered after having been
elected clerk of the superior and infe¬
rior courts in January, 1864, and was
accepted and approved April 11, 1864. I
served J8S4-5 in the capacity of clerk of
the two courts. Moved from Nashville
to my little farm two miles west of
9park9, Ga. Remained there three years,
sold out and moved to what is now near
Adel, then vulgarly called Puddleville.
which -vyas t^e preciuct of this the 1145
Disct G. M., near tho D. Q. Hutchinson
mill. In August, 1878. the Adel post-
office was established. Whilo Dick
Whitely, of carpet bag fame, was in
Congress from this district I was ap¬
pointed it| pc^tipa^ter, flfyeil snch
nearly eighteen years, which was two
years the Georgia Southern rail-
read was built, when a Mr. Republican
qame along during the Harrison admin¬
istration and asked me to come down,
Jackeus, and I stepped down and out
and have remained out so far. Since
chat time I have lived in Adel. I raised
eight children, 3 sons and 5 daughters,
all of mature age and married, save one.
I am now on the down slope of life, near
the foot of the hill, a fact 1 realize at
least when I tell unwell, as I do today.
Well, next Sunday will soon copieand
&ut I may shopid nof jive I to see another birthday
not, only myself is gone. I
feel now to be in the way sometimes, 1
ijpe the young shale when they think I
act like an old fogy, but I excuse them ;
“they know not what they do” and
would impress upon them the fact that
they are growing qld ns fast as tagi,
only going up the hill, will reach the
aurpipit sponer than they now think.
Fifty yeat* since ! climbed the hill apd
am now nearly to the grade fifty years
coming down, but I am here and can't
go back; have no desire tq do so.
My feeble prayers go up, if up at all,
for the blessings, welfare and upbnild-
ing spiritually and morally of pll man¬
kind. I tfj to carry no hatred in my
heart towards any living soul.
Now, ftfr. Editor, for fear I should
weary your patience with this short
sketch of my life I must Btop, with the
hope thuit I may see you live ipauy more
years as editor of the Adet, News and
that i mav enjoy the perusal of its col¬
umns along with the Valdosta Times,
