T OM WATSON
TO THE PUBLIC
Populist Candidate Discusses Re¬
sult of the Election.
CLEVELAND RESPONSIBLE
Declares Hate for Ex President Acted
as Boomerang Against Parker.
Wiil Rally Forces for 1903.
Thomas K. Watson gr.ve out a state¬
ment at Now York Sunday, which, in
(jar!, is as follows:
■ It should ho borne in mind that at
the time the Springfield convention
tendered me the presidential nomina¬
tion, the people’s party had had no
real existence as a factor in national
politics for eight years. In the presi¬
dential election of 1900 it gave to its
nominee only 5,000 votes. To that ex¬
tent had the fusion of 1800 swallowed
up a movorrn nt which in 1S94 counted
nearly two millions of voters, and
about 1,500 active newspapers, and
therefore, we had to build from the
ground up in 1904. We had almost
nothing to start with in the way of
party organization, campaign funds
and newspaper support; we had only
three months in which to world
These things being first, considered,
some fair idea of what was accom¬
plished can be had only when the offi¬
cial returns are known.
“Up to I his time no official state¬
ment has been made of the vote, and
1 can only guess what it was from in¬
formation conveyed to me by friends
In various parts of the country. These
sources, of course, are not very relia¬
ble. 1 lasing an estimate upon them,
however, my opinion is that I received
something like half a million votes,
scattered through so many slates,
north and south, east and west, to in¬
dicate that the sentiment which gives
its moral support to the people’s party
Is national and not sectional.
"I have found everywhere that the
current was strong and deep in favor
of Jeffersonian democracy. 1 believe
today that if all those who believe in
that theory of government could be
united in harmonious political action,
-- „.. T „ .. ..(helm
majority was not so much . due to the
fact ’hat our people believe in class
legislation and the reign of special
privileges, it was not hv r ny means an
indorsement of corporation tyranny,
the greed of the trusts or the meth¬
ods of combined capital. Mr. Roose¬
velt’s majority over Mr. Parker was
duo mainly to two things one was the
immense personal popularity of Mr.
Roosevelt himself, and the other was
the immense unpopularity of Mr.
Cleveland’s second administration.
Unfortunately for Mr. Parker, he be¬
came so completely identified with the
marauders who plundered the govern¬
ment during Mr. Cleveland’s second
administration that he had to hour all
the odium which they had incurred.
Watson’s Plan for Future.
"My own plans for the future em¬
brace a complete organization of the
people along the lines of Jeffersonian
democracy, the re-establishment of re¬
form papers, and a systematic propa¬
ganda of Jeffersonian principles in or¬
der that in 190s there shall he a party
of genuine opposition to the republi¬
can party and its present policies. If
political history teaches anything, it is
that old parties never accomplish any
reform unless they are irresistibly
driven to it by pressure from without.
1 hope at least to be of some use to
my country in aiding those who will
apply that pressure. It is immaterial
to me who does the work which the
reformers want done, so that the work
itself is done.
“I have no faith whatever that re¬
forms will be accomplished by the
democratic party, it i s discredited in
the eyes of the people by a series of
crushing defeats, but if has been so
vaccilating in its course, it has chang¬
ed its principles so often, has run from
one extreme to another so recently,
had such a magnificent opportunity in
1S92 to work out the reforms to
which it stood pledged and made such
a wretched use of that opportunity
that it cannot inspire the confidence
which leads to success. Since 1 Sf>2
the democratic party has almost en¬
tirely boxed the compass in political
profession of faith. It nas been for
pretty much everything until this year,
when it steed for everything or noth¬
ing according to the interpretation
which the voter chose to put upon its
a m b i gu ous platform."

VERDICT-' PROMULGATED.
Reprimands Issued Agaiast Officers ia
Coanectioa With Statesboro Affair
and Incident Closes.
First Lieutenant George A. Mell, of
: company I, and Second Lieutenant
Henry L. Griner, of company A, First
Georgia regiment infantry, were at
last publicly reprimanded Thursday
in accordance with the findings of the
courtrnartial which tried these officers
together with Captain Robert M. Hitch
for alleged dereliction of duty at
Statesboro.
The public reprimand, which was
part of the sentence in the case of
Lieutenant Mell, and all of the sen¬
tence impose® upon Lieutenant Griner,
consists simlly in tne publication in
the form of general orders of all the
charges against the officers who were
tried, the findings and sentences ot
the court and the governor's brief
order carrying out the sentences.
There has *£liat (been much curiosity t o
know just a public reprimand
would look like. The following from
Governor Terrell’s order is the onD
thing that is said on the subject,,ex¬
cept in the sentence of the court:
“In executing the sentence imposed
by the courtrnartial In the cases of
Lieutenants George A. Mell and Henry
L. Griner, the facts of the findings
and sentence of the court and the pub¬
lication of this order is deemed a suf¬
ficient compliance wim so much of
the sentence as requires a public rep¬
rimand.”
This, then, is practically all there in
to a public reprimand outside of ths
publication of the charges and court
findings. ,
The general order issued Thursday
relates to all of the officers who were
tried by the courtrnartial, Captain
Hitch, who was dismissed from the
service, and the officers who were ac¬
quitted, as well as Lieutenants Moil
and Griner.
After the publication of all the
charges on which the officers were
tried, together with the findings and
sentences of the court, the order con¬
cludes on page 10 as follows:
“The records of the proceedings of
the general courtrnartial In the fora
goiug cases of Captain Robert M.
Hitch, First Lieutenant George A.
Mell, Second Lieutenant Henry L.
Griner, First Lieutenant A. A. Morris

to the governo-, the following are hi i
orders thereon:
“Executive Office, October 22, 1904.
The proceedings, findings and sen¬
tences in the foregoing cases are ap¬
proved and the sentences imposed
will be duly executed.
“In the ease of Captain Hitch, disa¬
bilities prescribed by section 23 of
tbe military code are hereby removed,
except so far as the same applies to
a position in the military service of
the state.
“In executing the sentence imposed
"ny the courtrnartial in the cases of
Lieutenants George A. Mell and Henry
L. Griner, the fact of the findings and
sentence of the court and the publica¬
tion of this order is deemed a suffi¬
cient compliance with so much of the
sentence as requires a public repri¬
mand. J. M. TERRELL, Governor.”
“The commission of Captain Robert
M. Hitch, company I, First infantry,
Savannah, Ga., is hereby cancelled to
take effect October 24, on which date
he will cease to be an officer of tho
state troops.
“First Lieutenant George A. Mell,
company I, First infantry, Savannah,
Ga., is hereby suspended from rank,
command and duty for the period of
one year to take effect October 24,
1904.
“First Lieutenants A. A. Morrison
and Charles E. Cene, and Second Lieu¬
tenant Henry L. Griner, First infan¬
try. will be released from arrest and

Formal notice that i'*** charter of the

tary E. N. Noekels b\* telegram.
The telegram wag signed by Presi¬

Indiana Milling 65 Years Ago.
In central Indiana 65 years ago
mills were scarce. I knew one w-idow
who parched corn and ground it upon
her coffee mill, and thus kept her fam¬
ily in bread for several weeks during
a drouth. I also knew a man to carry
two bushels of corn 14 miles to mill,
stay over night and return next day.
This was when the horses were busy
at work. I have ridden on horseback
upon a sack of two bushels of grain
12 miles to mill and crossed a stream
belly deep to a horse, staid over night
for my grist and come back home next
day. One time a wild hog in the
brush by the roadside scared my
horse and he jumped aside, causing
my sack of grain to fall off. I grabbed
the mane and stayed on. I could not
replace it, so I had to stand guard
until some one passing would replace
It for me, and it seemed a long time
to wait, but at last a man came along
and put it on for me.
I think the boys of nowadays -would
think this an impossible job. Seed
corn was often made scarce by early
frost. One man went on horseback
to Kentucky, bought a bushel of seed
corn for two dollars, and fed part of
it to his horse on his way back home.

An Animal Theater.
The sides and rear of the animai
cages at the New York Zoo have been
hung with painted scenes, like those
on the stage of a theater. The ani¬
mal lies dowm in the afternoon for a
nap. When it goes to sleep it is in
the centre of a vast desert. When it
wakes the stage-manager has shifted
the scenes, and the beast is lying on
the bank of a brook with the moun¬
tains in the background. When a
Manchurian leopard awoke, the other
day, the scene had been changed to a
hillside with a few trees close by. It
rubbed its sleepy eyes for a minute,
saw the crowd staring at it through
the bars, and turned to one of the
painted trees and attempted to spring
into the branches. Down it came
again, scraping its claws through the
length of the canvas, and looking very
disappointed. For a few minutes the
leopard looked at the tree, and then
slunk away into a corner.
“Pen Stammering.”
“Pen Stammering” is the name giv¬
en by Dr. Berillon, of Paris, to a dif¬
ficulty in writing analogues to stam¬
mering in speech. Many persons, he
says, are incapable of writing even
cne of the letters of a word as long
as anyone is looking at them. Hyp¬
notic suggestions he thinks, will cure
this nervous trouble, a3 well as wri¬
ters’ cramp.
AN EXCEPTION.

TILL NOON.
tiie Simple Dish. That Keeps One Vigor
ous and Well Fed.
When the doctor takes bis own med¬
icine and tbe grocer eats the food he
recommends some confidence comes
to the observer.
A grocer, of Ossian, Ind.. bad a prac¬
tical experience with food worth any¬
one's attention.
He says: "Six years ago I became
so weak from stomach and bowel
trouble that I was finally compelled to
give up ail work in my store, and, in
fact, all sorts of work for about four
years. Tbe last year I was confined
to the bed nearly all of the time, and
much of the time unable to retain food
of any Fort on my stomach. My bow¬
els were badly constipated continual¬
ly, and I lost in weight from 1G5
pounds down to SS pounds.
“When at the bottom of the ladder
I changed treatment entirely and start
el in on Grape-Nuts and cream for
nourishment. I used absolutely noth¬
ing but this for about three months. I
slowly improved until I got out of bed
and began to move about.
“I have been improving regularly
and now in tbe past two years have
been working about fifteen hours a
day in the store and never felt better
in my life.
“During these two years I have nev¬
er missed a breakfast of Grape-Nuts
and cream, and often have it two
meals a day, but the entire breakfast
is always made of Grape-Nuts and
cream alone.
“Since commencing the use of Grape
Nuts I have never used anything to
stimulate the action of the "bowels, a
thing I had to do for yeurs, but this
food keeps me regular and In fine
shape, and I am growing stronger and
heavier every day.
“My customers, naturally, have been
interested and I am compelled to an¬
swer a great many questions about
Grape-Nuts.
“Some people would think that a
simple dish of Grape-Nuts and cream
would not carry one through to the
noonday meal, but it will and in the
most vigorous fashion."
