No more remarkable syene has-ever
been witnessed In Atlanta than oc
curred In Broughton’s Tabernacle on
Tuesday evening, when an audience of
2,(00 people, nine-tenths of them Dem
ocrats, rose as a unit In Indorsement of
Theodore Roosevelt, the Republican
president of the United States.
It came toward the ctoso of Hon.
Tom Watson's great two-hour speech
while the’ audience, filling every avail
able nook In the auditorium, sat en
grossed under the sway of a masterlv
Intellert. Mr. Watson turned from
statistics for h moment and touched
the negro question—drove the probe ,o
the quirk, as he doea In evary matter
to which he gives his mind. He said:
"Every white man. every white wom
an and every white child In the South
owe It to themselvet to say that they
Indorse President Roosevelt's course In
the Brownsville, Tex, Incident. 1 be
lieve that Tillman, becauae of hla per
sonal prejudice agalnet Theodore
Roosevelt, has been led Into a falso
position, and the longer ha stays In It
the worse It'will be for Ben. 1 went
every man, woman and child In this
audience who Indorses Theodora Roose
velt's coune to manifest It by standing
and giving a rising vote of thanka."

the greatest Industrial organliatlon In
the history of the world. Out of man;
failures comes experience; out of mucl
experience comes success; at last we
have rrached the point where we may

thla magnificent aucccaa.
"The first and moat tmpoalng obsta

that by the manipulations of the mar

were refqeed a Just prior for the proa-

the plan la already conceived, and It

Hon, .—_—
Now for the means by which w*
may reach thla.end: Build a system
of Uniform union cotton warehouses,
which shall extehd throughout the
length and breadth of th* cotton grow

protection against loss from exposure
to the weather or Are at a minimum
cost; a plan of operation that will
make each warehouse a bonded ware

any national bank or by tha United

theae receipts will b* the cotton Iteelf

ruritlea placed In the United Statee
treasury to back obr paper money.
Build every warehouse on the same
plan. Make each ona Are-proof and
thus obtain the lowest possible Insur
ance rale.
Organise a company for theae ex
press purposes and have the board of
directors and executive committee com
posed of members of the Farmer*' Ed
