A two per cent tax is small

Our merchants pay much more.

FROM FARMERS UNI
Stone Mountain, Ga.,
April 14, 1916.
Dear Duckworth:
It is being rumored that you
will shortly enter the race for
governor and that Thomas E.
Watson will actively support
you. In faet, one would come
to that conclusion from reading
Watson's papers.
Other than Hardman and
Harris, who are already in the
race, only two men have been
prominently mentioned as candi
dates— yourselfs and Hugh Dor
sey. Watson has been sticking
the saber in Hardman and Harris
on account of their not standing
for anything and in this week’s
papers he seems to be getting
ready to jump on Hugh Dorsey
on account of Dorsey’s connec
tion with the L. & N. railroad.
Now, this leaves only one of the
four for Watson to support—
one being R. F. Duckworth. You
have already announced a red-
hot platform, and it seems that
Watson is already warming up
to the “man with a platform.’’
You know that I am your
friend, and 1 believe that you
would made the best governor
of any man in the state, but I
hope and trust that you are not
going to think it best to let
Watson line up with you, be
cause your experience with this
man should certainly convince
you that he will knife you at
the first opportunity.
I am, your, friend,
J. L. Lee,

Mr. J. L. Lee,
Stone Mountain, Ga.
Dear Lee:
Replying to your letter of the
14th I have not solicited, I will
not solicit, and 1 will not counten
ance the support of Thomas E.
Watson.
Watson was permitted to en
twine himselt with the Farmers’
Union and its enterprises when
they were being organized in
this state and then because we
would not permit the Watson-
Dan Sully combination to swallow
the warehouse system, Watson
stuck his posionous fangs into
the organization, the enterprises
and the officials. I am certainly
aware of the fact that this man
never misses an opportunity to
stab an enemy or to betray a
friend.
Futhermore, Watson is not
a Democrat. He should have
no influence whatever with the
Democratic voters of this state
neither should Democratic vot
ers support any man who per
mits Watson to line up with
him. Watson slanders the Demo
cratic party at every opportuni
ty. Of the men in Geogia poli
tics who have permitted Watson
to support them, I do not recall
a single instance where Watson
has failed to knife them at the
first opportunity.
Watson has always claimed to
be a great friend of the farmer,
but he was caught red-handed
laying plans with Dan Sully, the
cotton gambler, to grab Southern
warehouses. With Dan op'erat-
