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.

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.

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.
