But it takes Virginia to give a cigarette “character”! “r^HARACTER”!—that’s what NOTE : Virginia tobacco pays for no duly, no ocean freight, no losset from wasteful handling. That is why Piedmonts, for instunce, made of highest-grade Virginiu, grown right here in the U.S.A. can afford to g'va you belter quality than a cigarette of foreign-grown tobacco which has to carry all those vxuteful ucpeiuei. every smoker wants in his cigarette. But it takes Virginia to give a cigarette that life and zest called “character”! That’s why Virginia is called “the tobacco man’s tobacco.” Piedmonts have in them only the highest-grade Virginia—ALL Vir ginia! Golden, lively, mellow as southern sunshine! If you want a cigarette that will satisfy you—that will say “char acter” in every puff then next time, ask for Piedmonts ! Or.

IliO LETTBS BOTH 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, Dnion City, Ga., April, 18, 1916. 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- ‘Goodies!” “— goodies that just m-e-l-t in your mouth — light, fluffy, tender , cakes, biscuits and doughnuts that just keep you hanging 'round the pantry—all made with Calumet— the safest, purest, most economical Baking Pon der.

I have no confidence in the honesty or sincerety of purpose of Thos. E. Watson. I believe him sneaking and treacherous, a defamer of character, a cor- ruptor of public morals, and a disgrace to the state and nation. He is as wise as the serpent and as mean the devil. and my reply to the press of this If this man is trying to crawl | state, that others of my friends 'to the “man with a platform,” may not be deceived, as soon as he shows his head I will put a boot on it.
