Valdosta, Ga., Sept. 2.—.1. B. Hagan,
who has been having some correspou-
dence with Hon. Thomas E. Watson
In regard to the place for Congress
against Congressman Brantley in the
Eleventh District, has received anoth
er letter from Mr. Watson In which
the “Sage of Thomson" expressed the
greatest pleasure at Mr. Hagans de
cision to make the race. He informs
Mr. Hagan that the election*comes off
Tuesday after the first Monday in
November and he gives it as an opln^
ion'that Brantley ran be beaten to a
frazzle.
Mr. Watson says that as soon as
he gets through with some matters
that are occupying him at home he
will be ready to come down and take
the stump to help Mr. Hagan out. He
arked Mr. Hagan where he thinks the

suggests Valdosta as the place.
Mr. Hagan has placed himself in
tho bands of several of his friends
here, who have advised him to try
and procure a large tent or one ef
the warehouses for the opening ad-
dicss, as It promises to draw a great
crowd to the city.
Mr. Hagan says that Mr. Watson
b very kind to him and he will ai£
predate It a great deal if Mr. Wat*
sen will get him on the congressional
payroll, provided It Is as large as
Mr. Watson’s paper says It Is.

:AT:
H. C. SEAMAN,
like to know something of what I saw,
I will feel very grateful if you will al
ia w me space in your valuable paper
to give an account of the samo.
I took the Santa Fee train out of El
Paso, and my first slop was at Albue
querque, New Mexico, at which place
Is located the famous sanitarium for
Tubercular patients. I remained there
only six hours between trains, and did
not have the opportunity to go into
the .surrounding coutry. I then went
to the wonderful petrified forest of Arl
zona. One who has never had the op
portunity to view this great work of
time cannot imagine »how wonderful
'and strange it is. I saw great logs
there that were from six to eight feet
in diameter and from fifty to seventy
five feet long, that had turned to solid
stone.^ The bark remained o n the
logs, and one can see the rings that to
make up tbe heart of the tree, just an
plain a« if they were real wood, and
where they have beep broken and
split {>y tbe action of tbe elements the
coloring is bautlfu! Indeed. I have
quite a large piece of the stone that I
will be able to exhibit when I return.
Now Ofte the place that I have for
many years wanted to see, and that la
the Grind Canyon of Arisona. The
Immensity and iranduer bf this place
W dlnioet beyond comprehension, If
one can Imagine a canyon In the
earth two hundred and seventeen
miles long and at tbe place where I
whs sixteen miles wide and from fli-
ten hundred to two thousand feet deep,
•nd of every conceivable color they
will be able to form a slight Idea of
this great work of nature. The best,
answer that I am able to give to peo
ple when they ask me about it is to
say that It certainly has the right
name, for it Is a Grand Canyon.
Having come friends at Fresno, Cal
ifornia I stopped off there for three
days, and visited some of the large
rt sin packing plants and the wineries
at least livo years more of such work
will be required to construct buildings
on the lots upon which at one time
stood mansions. Entire business
blocks are still covered with debris,
A C. L. TEAM WILL PLAY STRONG

game will be called at 2:30 and the sec

This is bargain day and you had bet

so hot that one can hardly endure

cannot get to thorn. I will venturo to
any though that whon all la cleared

Frlaco will he the moat aubatantially
built city i n the entire weat.
Of courae I vlaltcd “China Town” In
fact one hna not aoen Frlaco unlcsa he
has Been that place of wonder and
n ya^ery. I spent an entire night down
there, aa It la.beBt seen by artificial
light. The place of moat Interest to
mo was their temples, I saw their
voode„ gods and Instruments of all
kinds that they uiq In their worship
rnd examined them. Their prayer box
contains sticks that remind one of (he
little straws which we get with .our
soda water, and about the' samo num
ber as Is contained In one of those
'packages. The praying Chinaman
takes this package and ahakes It out
I, front of himself until one of tho
sticks falls out, now thru stick has a
number on It and that number la re
corded In a very large book which the
palest keeps an opposite that nnmkr
Con without any sorlous effects. I ar-
rived l„ El Paso very much refreshed
and rested and was ready to begin my
work again with renewed vigor.
Now I would like to sny something
1- regard to my personal affairs lint
I am almost afraid that some who may
read this will think that 1 am rather
egotistical, but nevertheless I will give
a sketch of my progress since I came
west. I began work as bookkeeper for
the Cabbles-Wllllams Lumber Co.
About two years ago, and held that po
slllon for leverel months and then
was sens ont Into the yard.bu t after
a few months I was again taken Into
the office at a much higher aalary, In
fact my salary was raised live times
I one yer, and have continued to
p ogress since In that line, now since
thg yard haa been bought by the I/mg
Lumber Company, they have made me
secretary of the concern and placed
me In control of everything. I ronsld-
that fair eijough for a twentyone
Is an answer to the number on the | - vt ' M boy Jn*t off tho farm at Sunny
•lick which he has shaken out of the
box, and If the answer Is not what ho
wants he will repeat the operation un
til be obtains a satisfactory answer.
I saw real Chlneso opium dens, and
Chinamen reclining o„ hunks smoking
the deadly drug. I also observed the
effect that years of tho habit hau
upon them. It was pitiful Indeed to
see those who had become slaves to
I. and had been smoking every day
and night for in some cases as long as
fifty years. I talked with one man
v ho told mo that he had bce n smoking
and using the sapie pipe for fifty-five
One of the wineries which I visited . years. Ho also told me that ho was
hsd s fire Just before I arrived and
lost one of the wine tanks, which con
tained nlnetyllve thousand gallons of
wine. As far as the eye et n see one
beholds nothing but vineyards on one
side snd fig and fruit trees of every
dlscrlp!lo n on the other. They have
the most beautiful palm drives snd
parks that I ever beheld and flower,
everywhere. I was very favorably'
:mpiessed with this gectlo n of coun
try, In fact more so than any other
portion.
Having a desire lo get nearer the
coast, and Incidentally lo get the cool
breexes, I left tbts garden spot and
began my trip lo San Francisco. Per
haps It will seem strange for ate to
tell you that when I arrived men wero
wearing thick and heavy overcoats,
or, I the women ^ found com
fort In their fun, but never
theless such was the case! and I was
glad Indeed that I had heedad the ad
vise of my friends hare and Included
In ray peeking n heavy salt of clothes.
There Is so many places of Interest
In Frisco, one would want a book to
write It ont In If they attempted- to do
It Justice, and la view of that fact I
will give you only a passing glaaca. At
yon know the town was almost des
troyed four yean ago, by earthquake
| and fire, but tlnco the moment .the
. aches cooled and the walls stopped fal-
1 1
'prlng back to China to dio on-tho fif
teenth of last July, as ho know that
hlq time had come and he wanted to
die on his native soil.
I saw things that I had no Idea that
existed, and things that one cannot
possibly see unles they go there to see
;i,pro, It certainly was a revelation to
me.
I crossed tho bay to Oakland, and to
Berkly where Is located the University
cf Cslifornls. There I saw the great
Creek Amphitheatre, which was a gift
of William Randolph Hearst to the
University. Also -vlsltei/ The United
States navy yard at Mare Island and'
bearded some or our largest battle
•hips, and from thence to Mt. Tamil-
pais, from tbe summit of'whlch one It
able to tee twentyllve different cities.
I went out through the "Oolden Gate”
sunset, then Is the tlrife when the Gol
den Gale Is Goldeo, and It was a grand
sight. . .
I was prone to leave Ban Francisco,
but there being so much more that I
wanted to tea on the trip that I had
to be moving, so my next trip and
stopping place was Los Angeles. From
there I visited tbe old Soldiers homo,
the oatrlteh farm, moonstone beach
and gathered moon stones right from
tho sand, the Venice of America, tha
alligator farm and many other places
of Interest and enjoyment.
My return trip began with the Couth
Side. My health It all that 1 1 could
wish,I weigh ohehnndred and eighty
five pounds and feel fine all tbe lima.
Mr. Earnest Gorman snd Mr. H. W.
Utacock, old residents of Waycross
r.re out here and both are doing nicely. 1 '
Well, In' conclusion I will sky that
We have a very fine country out here,
but thoughts often wander back to
"Dear old Georgia" whore, as I tell the
people out her^/they have green fields
roodtd hills, peaches, watermelons
and pretty girls, and I trust that my
th' ughti alone will not wander back,
but that some time In the future I
sill agal n lake np my abode In the Em
pin Slate. Trusting that you are lav-
Inv plenty of “Hog and Hominy” “Pos
sum and Tatars'' and tbe necessary ac
cessoties, I beg to remain,
Sincerely yours,
C. L. Birmans.
