The reunion of the Upshaw families and their relatives occurred at the Upshaw farm near Pine Log last Thursday and was an event highly enjoyed by all present. There was a large crowd of the | relatives, friends and neighbors of the family present. A sumptuous dinner and a watermelon feast at a large spring on the Upshaw farm were among the principal features ot the day’s programme. Vocal and instrumental music added to the pleasures of the oc casion, and a history of the family was read, and a number of enter taining speeches were made. Among the earliest settlers in the vicinity of Pine Log were James Upshaw and Lucinda Ham, his wife. They had twelve chil dren, two sons and ten daughters and from this family has grown one of the largest families in Geor gia.

The descendants of James Upshaw and Lucinda Ham now number about three hundred, as follows: twelve children, 75 grand children, 175 great grandchildren, and 50 great great grandchildren. Most of this large family were present at the reunion.

GORDON LEE, Who will have no Opposition in the Congressional Race, FITE ON TOM WATSON Judge Believes Watson Made Mistake, PERSONALLY HONEST His Candidacy and Purpose to Injure the Democratic Party. In discussing the candidacy of Thomas E-. Watson for president with a News and Courant reporter the other day, Judge A. W. Fite said: “Tom Watson has made a grave mistake. I have always believed in his personal honesty, but he is erratic, unsafe and visionary. He perhaps has visions of good gov ernment for the people, and cer tainly of leadership for himself; but his visions will never be real ized along the Hne he is running. He is simply trying to defeat de mocracy now, hoping to be its leader hereafter. His desire for leadership is so strong that he would rather, right or wrong, lead to defeat than to follow to victory. He knows that if Parker is elected we will have an honest democratic administration, and the white peo ple of the south will be satisfied, and that his chances of leadership be forever gone.” “Judge, what do you consider his aim?” “My fear is that he will get enough votes in doubtful states to defeat Parker and elect Roosevelt, and thatjs what he hopes to do.” First Bale, Cartersvllles first bale of cotton for the 1904-1905 season was re ceived yesterday.
