Senator Thomas E. Watson Dies at His
Washington Home Early This Morning
END COMES TO DISTINGUISH
ED GEORGIAN AFTER AN
ATTACK OF ASTHMA.
WAS LONG A LEADING FIGURE
Had Been a Dominant Power in Geor
gia Politics Many Years. Had Serv
ed Little More Than a Year in the
United States Senate.
Senator Thomas E. Watson is dead.
News of his death was received in
a telegram to The News just as the
paper was about to go to press. The
end came at his home in Washington
at 2 o'clock this morning.
While Senator Watson had been in
ill health for some months his physi
cal condition was not known to be
such at this time as to cause serious
alarm, he having appeared in his seat
m the senate chamber and made a
speech only a few days ago. The im
mediate cause of his death is attribut
ed to an acute attack of asthma, with
romplications.
The death of Senator Watson will
cause profound sorrow in the hearts
of thousands of Georgians, Those who
foved him loved him deeply.
For many years Mr. Watson played
a conspicuous part in the political his
tory of Georgia. His has been the cen
tral figure in many a political battle
which has been waged in the state.
From the days when he led the forces
of populism in Georgia down to the
time of his return to the democratic
fold and in many of the hotest cam
paigns of recent years his has been a
dominant figure, and for a number of
years it has been said that he repre
sented the balance oif power in Geor
gia politics. No man in the political
history of the state has perhaps ever
been fought so bitterly against and so
loyally for.
He was elected to the United States
senate in a heated campaign, in which
he, Senator Hoke Smith and Governor
Hugh Dorsey were the candidates, and
took his seat on March 4, 1921. His
term of office would therefore not have
expired until March 4, 1927,
SCHOOL STUDENT BREAKS 1
|
LEG IN PLAYFUL SCUI:'FLEI
Young Roderick Lee Victim of Pain
ful Accident on Campus.
In a playful scuffle with one of his
school mates on the public school
campus Friday, Roderick Lee fell and
broke the big bone of his left leg be
low the knee. The young man was
brought at once to his home, the Daw
son Inn, where he received prompt
treatment, but to be doubly sure of
the extent of the injury the attending
physician, Dr. Guy Chappell, had an
x-ray examination made Saturday,
which showed the setting to be per
fectly satisfactory. The friends of this
yvoung boy are gratified that his con
dition is so favorable to an early and
complete recovery from the effects of
the accident.

The Key That Unlocks the Door to
Long Living.
The men of eighty-five and ninety
years of age are not the rotund, well
fed, but thin, spare men, who live on
a slender diet. Be as careiul as he will,
however, a man past middle age will
occasionally eat too much or of some
article of food not suited to his con
stitution, causing indigestion or con
stipation, and will need a dose of
Chamberlain’s Tablets to move his
bowels and invigorate his stomach.
When this is done there is no reason
whyv the average man should not live
to a ripe old age.-—adv.

THOUSANDS LEFT DEAD IN
POND ON FARM OF MR. J. M.
BRIDGES, NEAR DAWSON.
Terrell county, never behind on
fish stories, announces the biggest one
of the season in the following, which
is vouched for by a number of men
noted for their veracity. A pond on
Mr. J. M. Bridges’ farm several miles
south of Dawsony which usually cov
ers an area of fifteen acres has during
the dry season shrunk to about one
hundred feet square. A few days Mr.
Wyatt Bridges with his son, Clyde,
and a neighbor, Rufus Stokes, made
an investigation of the place and with
pitchforks threw out one hundred
pounds of fish, leaving thousands dead
in the mud. Deep regret is felt by the
followers of Isaac Walton that they
did not know of the pond being so
well stocked with speckled beauties in
time to catch 'em alive, and hope for
better luck next time the pond rises
to its normal depth.
Co-Operative Hog Sales
Are Now Being Planned
Kiwanis Club Moves in the Matter,
And Appoints Committees.
The Dawson Kiwanis club seem to
be getting down to real constructive
work. At the regular luncheon of the
club Thursday a movement was start
ed to have county-wide hog sales. Mr.
Jack Boyette, county agent of Ran
dolph, gave the club an interesting
talk on the advantage to farmers of
such sales, stating that selling them
in large lots, aiter having them prop
erly graded, would increase the price
at least two cents a pound.
A committee, composed of F. M.
McNulty, R. L. Saville and J. A.
Shields, was appointed to confer with
the railroad authorities about pens at
the depot, interview leading hog rais
ers of the county as to their wishes
and report at the next meeting of the
club. Mr. Boyette stated that he would
co-operate with the committee, and
aid them in any way to make a suc
cess of the venture.
