'"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 five halls and may reach even further Desirable Presents.

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.

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 A PENSIONER NOW. 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.
