Uniontown, Ala.—‘‘After the birth
Os my baby, I came near dying,”
writes Mrs. Maude. Felts, of Union
town. “I was in an awful condition.
. It just looked like I would
die.
‘‘l couldn’t bear anyone to even
touch jne, I was so sore, not even to
turn me in bed. My Sides, back and
head all pained me, just all the time.
‘‘We had the doctor every day and
he did everything he knew how, it
looked.like. Yet I lay there suffering
. such intense phins as seems I can’t
describe.
‘‘Finally, I said to my husband, let
Us try Cardiff . . . He went for it at
once, and before I had takan the first
bottle . . . came back, the soreness
began to go away,' and I began to
mend. The intense pressure seemed
all at onoe to leave my head, and be
fore long I was up.
“I tool£ three bottles and was well

Tri-Weekly Writer Interviews of McDuffie”
Journal Reporter Paints
Remarkable IVord Picture
Of‘Tom IVatso nat Home’
BY ANU-US PERKIBSON
The most interesting room in the
home at Thomson, Ga., or Thomas
E. Watson, nominee for the United
States senate, is the study in which
he wrote his “Story of France,” “Life
of Napoleon” and other volumes.
It is crammed with books. They
are piled on a table, they are ar
ranged in rows on shelves, they lie
open just as he laid them down when
he finished reading.
But ther/ is no writing desk in
the room. The one big table is used
simply as a place on which to heap
books—old books, new books, ma’ga
zines and newspapers, all used by
him in his daily reading, for the
general information they give or for
immediate use in his writing.
From the table he picked up a
pad of paper, sat down in a chair,
propped the paper on his knee and
began to write with a pencil.
"That is my method,” he said. “I
never use a writing desk. I always
hold a pad on my knee this way,
or rest it on a book. Sometimes I
stand up and write. Until lately
I had never dicftited a line. But the
pressure of work during nw cam
paign made it necessary for me to
try that time-saver. Being a lawyer,
I used to abhor a pencil and employ
only a pen. But now I very often
use a pencil because it is less trou
ble.
“I wrote the second volume of my
‘Story of France,’ 1,870 pages, with
out changing a word. The original
manuscript, which I still have, Shows
not a single pen scratch. And it
was printed just as I wrote it. In
writing of that part of Napoleon’s
life dealing with his efforts to get
to Waterloo from Paris, I completed
fifty to sixty pages one Sunday
morning, each page containing about
100 words.”
The French people have bought i
thousands of copies of Mr.. Watson’s I
“Story of France,” because it gives
sue ha*vivid, descriptive account of
the history of their country, and
because it' contains much informa
tion not found in the usual history.
Yet, he has never been to France,
and wrote his story of the French
people in his study at Thomson, Ga.
When he was asked how this
achievement was accomplished, he
led the wev to a row of books in
the corner of his study and pointed
to the books ranged there —thick vol
umes, thin ones; old books, new
books, but all dealing with the life
of France—every phase in the his
tory of the French people.
“I neglected no source of informa
tion in preparing my histor.” explain
ed Mr. Watson. “I read all the
recognized books, and then I cought
in, the neglected ones—old books in
second-hand bookstores, the dust,
forgotten ones ou’ll find sometimes
on the shelves in farm houses. In
this wa, I was able to put into
my ‘Story of France’ not only the
facts that are generally known, but
the neglected and important facts
which I gleaned from these books
that no one seems to read now or
to quote.”
In telling of hew he came to write
of' - the French people, he said:
“When I was a boy my grand
father gave me a two-Volume edition
of John S. C. Abbott’s ‘Life of Na
poleon,’ a book which is almost a
romance, because the writer had no
conception of Napoleon’s real char
acter: and, by the way, neither did |
Ida M. Tarbell. But that history
seemed to me the most fascinating
book in the world. It and ‘Don
Quixote’ are two books in which I
could fairly lose myself.
“I became so absorbed then in Na
poleon’s character that my interest '
persisted all through life, and ex
tended to all French history. I got
into the habit of going to old book
Tracing a Counterfeit Bill
Proves World Is Small Place
The tracing of counterfeit hills
back to the person responsible for
their issue is a curious and exciting
employment. The experts assigned
by the 'government to this wo.k are
among the most skilful members of
the Secret Service. . The protection
of the currency depends in large
measure upon their efficiency, and
the pains they take are almost in
finite. A strange story told by one r.
of these operatives illustsates the
difficulties which they meet and
overcome.
One day a bank clerk in Cincin
nati detected a counterfeit S2O bill
in the deposit of a small retail g.o
<er. The operative was sent for and
undertook the case.
He found that the grocer received
the bill from a shoe dealer, who ha<
t from a dentist, who had it front
somebody else, and so on, until final
,y the Secret Service man trac.d i:
to an invalid woman who had used
it tq pay Ker physician. When
questioned she said the money had
’ een sent to her by her brother, who
lived in New Orleans.
The operative looked up her brr th
er’s pedigree, and was certain that
he was the man wanted. He had a
bad record, was the proprietor of a
dive and was just the sort of pe.son
to be a confederate gs pounie te.
The operative went to New Orleans
with the handcuffs in his pocket, but
he was a little premature.
The man proved to thg iete-’in o’-
complete satisfaction that he had re
ceived the money as rent tor a small
ouse h" owned in Pittsburgh 'I h.<>
perative took the next train t.o
. ttsbur-ili.
The tenant of the house proved to
be a traveling oculist, who spent
.most of his time on the road. He
was then away in the west, but the
operative saw him on his return and
lie at once recognized the bill. It
had been given him by a pati nt in
Cincinnati the very point from whicli
the operative had started.
The patient was a boss carpenter.
The Secret Service man got his ad
dress from the oculist and made a
beeline for the city. He had a pre
monition that, someth’ng was going
to hanpen, and he wasn’t disap- :
"pointed.
The ca ’pente" was an honest eld !
fellow, and told the detective with- ;
out hesitation that he had received |
the bill from Mr. Smittt for repairing ;
his barn. Mr. Smith was the small ■
grocer in whose bank deposit the >
e rnterfeit had turned up. The de- :
tective flew to his store as fast as a
l.'ixi could carry him and found it !
closed. He had left town. His shop
it was proved was a ‘mere blind.—

stores and looking through the cata
logues of sellers of such books, and
in this way I found many rare vol
umes, and learned authentic facts of
history that had almost been forgot
ten.
“My actual writing began when I
started publishing a weekly paper in
Atlanta, callled the ’People’s Party
Paper.’ I began in it a series of
sketches telling of the lives of great
men and women of Roman history,
starting with Romulus and Remus,
and concluding with Anthony and
Cleopatra. These sketches led me
gradually into the story of France,
which I ’wrote at first chiefly for
young people.
“These articles on French history
attracted the attention of the Mc-
Millan Publishing company. They
sent a representative to see me. Man
uscript that I then had on hand was
submitted to professors of history at
Yale. Harvard and Princeton. It won
their indorsement, and my history of
France was published. During the
time it was in McMillan’s hands
they reported on the sale of 50,000
copies.”
Trees of a Hundred Sorts
The home of Mr. Watson is on the
outskirts of Thomson, and is reached
hy five minutes’ automobile ride
from the station. The house is sur
rounded by a grove of trees which
must contain a hundred different spe
cies. They vary from tropical plants
to a Himalayan cedar, the native
home of which is above the 'snow
line. He seems to have sent to every
part of the world for seed with which
to plant this grove.
At the head of the long walk lead
ing to his house is a fountain in
which he catises fresh water to be
kept for the birds to drink. A sim
ilar fountain is at the side of the
house, and on a side porch, crumbs
are spread for them to eat.
| The grounds around his home real
ly are a sanctuary for birds, which
come there from all the surrounding
sections, and for gray squirrel,
which are so tame that they will ap
proach close, even to visitors.
The house is of the colonial tyne.
with high, white nillars, and is seen
down a vista of gteen trees. of
them beginning to turn now with the
approach of autumn. It is a partic
ularly Attractive dwelling, seen down
this long avenue, and suggests
southern homes of ante-bellum
times.
After a glance at the grounds.
Mr. Watson's visitors were shown
into the long hall that runs the
length of the house and then into a
narlor en the right. Tt is a big room
with a marble menteln-epe. ho’-sehai
fufnitnre. a cabinet filled with sea
shells), and a rieasant air of quaint
ness. about it all.
The whole house is reminiscent of
a dav when hand-made furniture was
possible, waxen flowers in vases
were in style, and wood could be had
which had' beeft cut from the heart
of oaks.
Scarcely a room, upstairs or down,'
but offers its allotment of books —
new books, old books, magazines. On
the cluttered table in his study a
copy of “The New Republic,” and
Phillin Gibbs’ “Now It Can Be Told,”
rubbed shoulders with an ancient his
tory, a rare find made during a visit
one day to a secnm’-hpnd bookslmn.
A good part of Mr. Watson’s life
has been spent in reading, authors
new and old: in storing up knowl
-1 edge that aids him not only in his
writing, but makes him one of the
most interesting of talkers.
H-s reading has been done by
lamplight, by candle light-'and by
the smoke flare of pine knots, and,
yet. at the age of sixty-five his eye
sight is so good that he doesn’t have
to wear glass'es—never has worn
them.

before in his life, and when he show
ed his visitors up to his study he
mounted the stairs at a pace that
made them hurry to keep up. *
When He Taught School ;
After he had explained his meth
od of writing. Mr. Watson was asked
to tell something of his life.
“I was born September 5, 1856, *in
a farmhouse three miles east of
here,” he said. “About fifteen years
ago I bought the house in which I
now live and remodeled it. Though
I wasnt’ strong enough to do field
Work when I was a boy, I was in
good health and able to take part in
athletic games. I was ca-ptain of
the baseball team at Mercer. I’ve
got a scar on my forehead now
from the time when as bat slipped
out of one of the player’s hands
and hit me. >
“About the time of the Civil war
there was a lady living on our plan
tation, who conducted a school to
which I went. But she got married
and the school broke up. I went to
other limited schools, where I was
given g. good foundation. We didn’t
jump over the fences then. We took
,up the alphabet at the beginning,
and went through to the end. The
old Blueback speller was used and
we learned how to spell—much bet
ter than children do now. We used
Green’s grammar and Davies’ arith
metic.
“I went to the High school here in
Thomson and completed the higher
studies, except mathematics. I nev
er learned algebra or geometry ex
cept by rote. Mine is not a mathe
matical mind. And I’ve never'’ miss
ed either of them. I think it is a
great waste of time to teach alge
bra or geometry in the high schools.
“A professor who was interested
in me. asked my father to send me
to Mercer, and he did. I stayed
there a year and a half on my fath
er’s money, and then his business
fell into wreckage and he moved to
Augusta.

YOUNG AT 98 IS
UNIQUE RECORD
' OF MRS. VEAL
>
To those Os us who, perhaps natur
ally, think of a woman ninety-eight
years old as seated in the most com
fortable chair that can be provided
for her. and spending her time talk
ing in a broken voice to members of
the family, it would have been a
rare treat to have witnessed the
birthday celebration of Mrs. Gustie
Elizabeth Veal, of Jackson county,
which took place last Wednesday on
the grounds about ffer home, near
Brazelton
Ninety-eight years of age on the
29th of September, Mrs. Veal claims
not only the distinction of being one
of the oldest women in the county,
but says she is just as spry and ac
tive as many of her sex who are
forty years younger, and few who
saw her Wednesday felt that they
could take issue with her on this
point.
For quite a number* of years Mrs.
Veal has been celebrating her birth
days by gathering her numerous
relatives and friends together and
providing them with an excellent re
past on the grounds about her home,
or rather the home of her daughter,
Mrs. T T Cooper, with whom she
has lived for a long time.
Mrs. Veal is probably the most
interesting character in Jackson
county She was the mother of four
teen children, five of whom are still
living, and lias sixty-two grandchil
dren and fifty-two great-grandchil
dren. practically oil of whom are
now living While she is a woman
of many peculiar and eccentric hab
its, she has always led a most use
ful life, 'lie learned to work’when
a young girl and has never forgotten
it since. Even now she can be seen
constantly doing work about the
house.
She was horn and raised in Morgan
county, and was married at the age
of fifteen ’o Mr. Elijah Veal, who
has been dead some twenty years.
She was seen Wednesday with her
wedding dress on. the dress she was
married in eighty-three years ago.
and she explained to the 35(T guests
present that she wanted to show
that sin still possessed it, and to
tell them that she carried the cotton
through every process herself, from
the pricking to the weaving into the
dress.
Mrs. Veal x.as been a faithful
member of the Methodist church for
80 years. B,.ek in the 70’s and 80’s
it is said she used to preach and
pray in the public church services-
It has also neen said that she acted
as family phvsieian to many of the
neighbors and that she was really
preferred in many instances to .the
doctors ’ f the community. There is
one thing she could never be con
vinced of: t. at is. that a woman
should not become addicted to the to
bacco habit just as a man. Conse
quently he has been chewing to
bacco for many years, and, what is
■ more, she performs the feat of
chewing it with only one tooth in
her mouth. She has long since ex
pressed her horror at false teeth and
vowed to n'ver use them.
Despite .he disadvantages of no
teeth and old age. however, Mrs.
Veal managed to eat and enjoy the
fried chicken and other things pro
vided at the Inner, just as the oth
ers did. and to take a full share in
the activities of the occasion, which
was thoroughly .njoyed by all.
Woman Injured in

HUNTINGTON, Ind.—Mrs. John
H. Trout, wife of a farmer living

was bitten in several places.

did, and I taught until the eager
ness to practice law became too
great to be resisted.
read law while I was boarding
at the home of James Thompson,
near Scarborough, and was teach
ing school. I said to him one day
that I’d give anything for a copy of
Blackstone’s Commentaries, and the
next time he came back from town
he brought me that book. I didn’t
have a student’s lamp, but there
were plenty of pine knots, and I
read by them. I was a in
that community and my girl was up
here, so there was no reason why
I- should' go out in society. I prefer
red to spend my evenings with Mr.
Blackstone, and any spare time I had
in the day, lying out under the pines
on the pine straw, cramming into
my brain all tjie knowledge of law
1 could.
“in 1876 I came baclc to Thomson
to be a lawyer. I had to find- some
body who would give me a year’s
hoard on credit, and an old teacher,
Robert H. Pierce, consented to do
that. I did work in his office in part
payment. One day funegro named Al
Taylor dropped in there and said he
wanted to have a ‘Poqy Homestead’
drawn up. Mr. Pierce suggested a
lawyer and Al started to leave, but I
followed right behind him. At the
door I asked him-how much he was
going to pay, and he said $2.50, and
I told him I could do it just as well
as anybody else. And I could and I
did. In five minutes I had it ready
and Al paid me the $2.50 —my first
fee.
“The first month I actually prac
ticed las I earned- S4O, and I thought
it was more money than anybody else
in the world had. My first year’s in

increased this to $1,400; the third
year to $1,800; the fourth yfear to
$3,000, and when I gave up law about
fifteen years ago my practice was

ASHEVILLE, N. C., —A pocket

Agents working out of the local

it a parlor still. It is of about one

yielding me a cash income of SIB,OOO
a year, which at thgt time was doing
pretty well for a country lawyer
practicing in a country county where
most of the people were poor.
“In 1890 I was elected to congress
and served one term. I quit the law
because I got tired of devoting my
life to individual litigation affecting
individuals only. I wanted to give
myself to something that would be
wider service.
“I have devoted a considerable part
of my time to lecturing, I have
always found it to be holder than
ploughing in oats.”
Mr. Watson was then asked to tell
of his daily routine.
“My breakfast consists usually of
just a cup of coffee, or perhaps two
cups,” he said. '“I am at my desk
by 8 o’clock. I open my mail, read
the papers, and work until the bell
sounds that calls the field hands to
dinner. In the afternoon I go to the
McDuffie bank, of which I am presi
dent, and devote rrfyself to affairs of
the bank. During my campaign this
routine necessarily was interrupted.
“I don’t use tobacco in any form.
I eat no hard, rough food. Instead, I
confine my diet to light meats, soups
and lots of sweet milk.
“For recreation I once lixed to
hunt, but I gave that up some time
ago, because it took all the pleasure
out of the sport for me to see the
wounded birds killed. If the birds
that vou hit could fall dead when you
fire I would still enjoy partridge
hunting. But to kill the wounded
one s after they have fallen, robbed
the sport of all enjoyment for me.
“I formerly rode horseback, but

the freshness he should give to his
"when he was asked for a list of
books he has written, Mr. Watson
named: “Stories of Old
“Storv of France, Life of Napo
leon,” “Bethany,” a novel dealing
with farm life as Mr. M atson has
seen it; “Life and Times of Andrew
Jackson,” “Socialists and Socialism.
“Battle of Waterloo,” “Tariff, Prim
er,” and “Short Talks to Young
Alcn ”
“When I get a little more leisure,
said Mr. Watson, “I am going to
enlarge that last book by sugges
tions to young men on what Ithey
should read.”
Speaking of historical writing, he
said: . .
“Most historians are inclined to be
oracular, and the result is, their
readers are inclined to go to sleep.
“From dusty books on country
bookshelves and old records in state
;archives I have extracted much un
usual and veracious history,” he re
peated.
“I wonder,” he added at this
point “why some one doesn’t write
a drama of the ‘Ninety Days in
French history, which embrace the
return of Napoleon from Elba, his
march to Paris, his reception, the
celebration in memory of the obi
kings, and his hurried journey to
catch up with his army? It is the
most, dramatic period in the history
of the world. It seems to me that
nothing could lend itself better to
the stage. It cou-ld be made to
rival the historic dramas of Shake
speare.” ’ .
He referred next to his book on
Socialism.
“I have been accused of being :•
Socialist,” he said, “and, yet in that
book I wrote as strong an attack
against Socialism as could be ut
tered. The charge that I have so
cialistic leanings sis due to the fact
that I have said —and say—that
Eugene Debs, now in the Atlanta
federal penitentiary, is as harmless
as any pet about the house ”
For a moment the question of re
ligion was broached.
“I am not what the French call a
religionist,” he said, “but I think
that the -man who understands the
powerful hold of religion on the
world is without reasoning power.
He couldn’t tell sweet milk from
sour. As Napoleon said: ‘lf we
didn't- have a religion we would
have to make one.’ ”
PARIS, France. —After a desperate
hand to hand struggle with four Pol
ishe soldiers, Soviet Russia’s exqui
site “Red Rose,” youthful maiden
with face of a man and heart of a
tigress, has been captured. And with
her removal as “real general of the
Russian legion,” according to news
dispatches, has gone the will to win
of the Soviet army.
No figures in all the long turmoil
of Russia has been so picturesque as
that of the 18-year-old girl. ~
She is said to have been respon
sible for more than 400 deaths of
anti-revolutionists.
Her story goes pack to 1912, when
with her parents, the Count and
Countess Ivanovsky, she returned
from a long exile in London to Mos
cow. Rasputin, then at the height of
his power, became infatuated with
the Countess and enticed her to the
house in Moscow where his affairs
were accustomed to commence. From
that time she never again was seen.
The Count carried appeals for help
to the very steps of the throne itself,
but was put off till finally he shot
and killed himself upon the steps of
the Kremlin, while his little daughter
clung to his hand.
This is the tragedy which furnish
ed the motif of revenge which the
"Red Rose” determined to turn loose
upon the court of Russia. The rev
olution gave her the chance,
According to Jean Reich, French
man, recently returned as refugee
from Soviet Russia, she has the oul
of a patriot and the heart of a sav
age.
In har character of lovely courte
san she would becom'e friendly with
Russian officers suspected of Czarist
sympathies. After her victims had
become dazed by her beauty and easy
victims of her voluptuousness, she
insinuated that she was in reality a
counter revolutiionary agent. Then
the officers were led like lambs to
the slaughter, before the people’s
court and a firing squad.”
Her rank in the Russian army is
that of colonel. When captured her
only weapon was a huge black cruci
fix with which she is said to have
killed single-handed two Polish sol
diers.

TIMM-CIT
Mr. Dodson Warns Against
Use of Treacherous,
Dangerous Calomel
Calomel salivates! It’s mercury!
Calomel acts like dynamite on a
sluggish liver. When calomel comes
into contact with sour bile It crashes
into it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get a bottle of
Dodson’s Liver Tone for a few cents,
which is a harmless vegetable sub
stitute for dangerous calomel. Take
a spoonful and if it doesn’t start
your liver and straighten you up bet
ter and quicker than nasty calomel
and without making you sick, you
just go back and get your money.
If you take calomel today you’ll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; be
sides, it may salivate you, while
if you take Dodson’s Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full of
ambition and ready for work or play.
It’s harmless, pleasant and safe to
give to children; they like it.—.
