SAVANNAH, Dec. 17.—The follow

the correspondent of The Telegraph by
Hon. W. W. Osborne, solicitor general
of the Eastern Circuit, the deader of
the Chatham county Democracy and a
man who has for some years been
prominent in hla affiliation with the
Democratic party in Georgia:

§ Chairs and Rockers for Christmas presents.
'"You may mark it up on the boards
for the consideration of thoughtful
Democrats, that the time has come for
consultation. Unselfish Democrats who
love their party should get together for
"heart to heart" talks. Mr. Watson’s
newest crusade Is going to necessitate
it. Considering the present temper of
the people. If he speaks In every county
in Georgia prior to the next election
under existing conditions, he will un
doubtedly give us trouble. He is an
earnest man combatting a present evil.
God .Almighty has given him splendid
talents, and Democracy Itself furnished
him the issue. It is a dangerous com
bination. There Is but one way on
earth to fight him successfully before
the people. I. e. take away the Issue
by correcting the evil of which he com
plains. Th evil exists, and we know It.
Mr. Watson seems especially to di
rect his attention to the grave charge
so boldly made, thnt the spirit of cor
porate domination pervades the state.
The difficulty that attends a defense
grows out of the fact that his charge
Is true. It certainly pervades leglsla

GEORGIA LADIES INVITED
Fair 8,x of Oregon Wish *o Enter
tain Thom Next June.
ATLANTA, C,a., Dec. 17.—The ladles
of Oregon are anxious to entertain the
ladles of Georgia at Portland In that
state In June next, during the holding
of an exposition under the auspices of
the Portland Hose Association. In
view of this fact Governor Terrell has
been authorized to extend an Invita
tion to the ladles of Georgia to visit
Portland In June and accept the hospi
talities of the ladles of Oregon. The
Invitation Is signed by Frank Lee, sec
retary of the association.
The letter head of the communica
tion to the governor shows In the life
a shapely woman wearing tho regu
lation picture hat. with a far reaching
balcony on the front and no hack
porch, while to the right is a picture of
the original Western lady, represented
by an Indian squaw with her pappoose
lashed to her back, and stooping over
a boiling pot, hung on a crane. Evi
dently She Is boiling a mess of Indian
corn for the braves to demollah when
they return'from a chase after pale
faces.
The two pictures are no doubt In
tended to show whnt haa been accom
plished In the way of civilisation by
the evolution of time In the wild and
wooly West, the wild woman having
dlsappead to make way for the up to
date woman or the present day. How
many Georgia women will go remains
to be seen. Te governor has opened
a list for the signatures of volunteers.

GEORGIA'S RESOURCES
Inquiries Made at Capitol by People
From Michigan.
ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 17.—Within the
last few days several visitors have
called at the cap!to! for the purpose of
enquiring Into the resources of Geor
gia. They were from Michigan, and
from thla fact the Inference may be
drawn that the people of the West are
looking for home* and Investments In
the South, and particularly thla tac
tion of It. The visitors referred
seemed to be Impressed with th pos
sibilities of the Bouthrn section of
the state. They were looking for tim
ber and farming lands, and were In
formed that there was an abundance
Valdosta.
VALDOSTA. On., Dec. 17.—One of
the most delightful entertainments thnt
Valdosta has had was the "baby party"
artd Christmas tree given by Mina Mec
Young laat evening at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Fender. The en
tertainment was given In honor of the
following young lady visitors: Misses
Halite Ellis, Alice Johnsqn. Camille La
mar, Bertha Leonard, Pauline Lewis,
Sherrie Lewis, Ida Stovall, Martha
Weaver, Irene Walker and the Misses
Pendleton, of Philadelphia. All of the
young people were costumed an babies
from two to six years old. Some even
came In baby carriages, while one
young lady came In a goat cart, with
her gallant young escort leading the
gnats. The party was given ns a dl-
vernlorf from tho "swell functions"
which the young folks here so fre
quently enjoy, and while It was laugh
able throughout there was no lack of
elegance.
At 10 o’clock the large drawing room
doors were thrown open and a Christ
man tre was presented to view. The
decorations and Illuminations on the
tree were handsome, harmonizing with
the decorations In other parts of the
house. There were presents on the
tree for every one of the Invited guests,
all of them being little souvenirs of
the toys which children usually get
about Christmas time.
After refreshments were served, the
prizes were given to the bablea who
excelled In the "baby show." Miss
Miss Mamie Coffey received the prize,
a pretty baby rattle, for being the best
baby; Roy Dunnaway was awarded a
prize for being the best baby boy and
Archie McIntyre for being the noisiest
one. A number of married couples
were in attendance and all were de
lighted with the unique entertainment
and the enthusiastic maner In which
the young people made themselves
children again.
The young men of the city gave a
dance last Tuesday evening in honor
of the visiting young ladles. The large
hall of the Valdosta Videttes was used
and the occasion was a very enjoyable
one. There were about fifteen couples
In attendance.
Miss Mamie Coffey entertained at a
daneg Wednesday night at the home
of Col. W. B. West. The decorations
were very handsome and those who
attended were delighted with the ev
ening's entertainment. Delicious re
freshments were served.
Miss Ethel Briggs entertained Wed
nesday morning at cards In honor of
the visiting young ladles. The occas
ion was an enjoyable one.
The truth is, and we may as well
frankly admit It. Democracy has back
slid some. It needs to be consecrated
anew, and I am morally sure good re
sults would attend the exclusion from
membership of some of the nmen-cor-
ner brethren.
"It is Idle to deny that a spirit of
unrest pervades the entire party. Deep
down In their heorts, the rank and file
of the party feel that somewhere,
something Is wrong. They possess not
the secrets of the charmed Inner cir
cle. The avernge voter cannot keep
abreast of the political current as can
the professional politician: nor car. he
always divine motive, nor anticipate
the results of n political move. All ho
gets upon which to base his opinions
Is what Is designedly permitted to leak
out Into the newspapers, and this Is
often purposely misleading both ns to
motive and method. The citizen may
surmise—that Is oil. He knows thnt
this measure and that measure, thnt
voices his sentiments Is lost. He sees
the candidate of his choice defeated for
office. He knows a wrong has been
done. He surmises the direction from
which the blow comes, but It Is always
the unacen hand thnt strikes.
"T’he people of Georgia are rapidly
awakening to the unpleasant fact thnt
corporate greed hns encroached un
fairly upon their rights, and thnt
strenuous preparations are being made
to make the encroachment permanent.
They are beginning to realize that the
Invasion Is a menace to liberty. They
are becoming aware that they must
fight In self-defense. Already I can
see the signs of the coming conflict,
"The people feel that they are being
unfairly treated. It angers them to
think that the corporations of their
own creation, should employ corps of
high-priced men whose sole duty It ts
to influence legislation. The pernici
ous activity of these mercenaries bring
the entire legislative and administrative
departments of the state government
Into discredit.
"Here Is the way It looks to the av
erage Democrat. A bill Is up eeffet-
!ng corporate Interests. Btrnlghtwny
corps of mercenaries are employed to
lobby pro or con. Indeed, this la now
regarded a« a necessary expense. The
fight Is on. On the one side Is arrayed
the people battling for their rights—
usually like unto an Ill-trained militia
Indifferently led and without well de
fined plan of campaign. Opposed and
fighting the battle of the corporations
Is lined up the trained legions of the
mercenaries, skillfully led. The result
Is enslly foretold: The people‘lose.
was nmb|tIous to become speaker of
the house of representatives. He had
seen years of honorable service in the
house and his record was one of which
he may well have been proud. He
voted for temperance. He sought by
his vote to prevent the horrible sac
rifice of Georgia children that the cot
ton mills are annually offering up to
the latter day Moloch, He stood ever
for the people’s rights as against cor
porate greed. He was entitled to be
speaker, if for no other reason than
that of his own worth, and the people
really wanted to honor him.
"But the mercenaries decreed oth
erwise. He had already exhibited his
independence. Ho had their undying
entnlt'x* They worked themselves, and
subsequently their employes, into ft
line frenzy. One would have supposed
that the elevation of th’s splendid
young Georginn to the speakership
meant the ruin of every corporation In
the state, and the confiscation of nil
their assets. They girded up their
loins. Every railroad In Georgia, every
cotton mill in Georgia, the associated
liquor interests of Georgia, combined
to defeat the aspirations of this young
Democrat for preferment within his
party. The wires were soon hot—
from hill and dale they came—the last
was uplifted and everywhere possible
political infiuailtfe was thrashed Into
line. It would l>e interesting to enu-
erate the political influences that
sprang Into line ut the crack of the
whip. Did it not at the same time
write Democracy’s shame? Never, at
any time In the htiitory of Georgia, hns
there been such straining of corporate
ceffort. The conflict was too unequal.
He made a heroic, single-handed fight,
and once even tied the winner. But he
was defeated. He' he* rune u victim of
his own Independence.
"I have often thought that some day
the people of Georgia would learn the
secret of this fight. Whenever they
do I am sure they will fittingly re-
wnrd their champion for his very hon
orable defeat.
"Thla fight makes a Mack page In
Democracy’s history. It is a sftd com
mentary when. a Georgia Democrat,
who has ability and character, may not
successlly aspire to office within
the Democratic party unless he first
shows subserviency to those who have
already sold their f political Influence
for money. Democracy cannot hope to

Man Allowed Leg to Be Amputated
After Many Years.
ATLANTA, Dec. 17.—Representative
T. R. Whitley of Douglas county, who |
Is a practicing physician In Douglas- (
vljle, was In Atlanta today, and while
here told an Interesting story thnt is
well worth printing.
“Did you ever hear of a man mr.klng
money by having his leg cut off on
his own motion?" asked Dr. Whitley.
"Well, I know of a case of this kind."
he continued, "and I performed the op
eration a day or two ago. The man
that I speak of Is W. P. Tackett, the i
tax receiver of our county, which office 1
he haa held for several terms. For I
forty years he has been suffering from >
a wound In one of his legs received i
while in the Confederate service. He 1
came out of the war with the wound
In his leg, and It was then when the
amputation was performed. His wife
Informed me that for forty years she
has been dressing that wound twice a I
day In winter and three or four times ‘
a day in summer. Nothing that could I
be done for It seemed to Improve Its
condition. Upon many occasions friends
of Mr. Tackett urged him to have the
leg amputated Just below’ the knee,
but he turned a deaf ear to all such
sugestlons, saying that he was going
to carry the leg and the wound with
him to the grave when he died. Re
cently, however, Indications of blood
poisoning have appeared, and he was
told thnt unless he allowed the leg to
be taken off, that the tables would bo
turned, and that Instead of his carry
ing the wounded leg to the grnve with
him, the leg In question would carry
him. He finally allowed the opera
tion to be performed, and the limb was
amputated Just below the knee. Now
having lost the limb an the result of
a wound received In the service of the
Confederacy, he Is entitled to a pension,
which he could have been receiving
for years hnd he not persisted In hold
ing on to his leg. which wan of no une
to him whatever except to remind him
of the wound in it, nnd to glvo him any
nmount of pain npd annoyance.
