in the industry went to the cities
years ago and built fine homes, he
remained behind, living as he always
had lived, wearing moccasins and a
lumberjack shirt, with no necktie be

When lumbering passed out in Mi

turing and until last Saturday, when
he was stricken ill, was active every

Buggies was born in Bangor, Me.,
1 March 3, 1846. Hi* parents took
him to Oshkosh, Wis., where he
worked in a match factory as a
youth. The family moved to Manis
tee because the youth was suffering
from phosphorus poisoning from
matches, and a physician recommend
ed outdoor life. This led him to be-
interested in lumber, and led
to his amassing a fortune.
He never married, but the place
of wife and children appeared to
have been filled for him by friend-

to help “prevent delays of the law.”
EX-SENATOR WATSON WAS
FRIEND TO SENATOR HARRIS
Es-Governor Slaton, seeing hla
certain defeat on September 10th,
baa desperately grabbed at every
■traw. Last Tuesday, in bia speech
at Delius, he ia quoted in the press
as saying: “Practically all of the
leaders of the late 8enator Thomas
E. Watson are likewise supporting
me. It will be recalled that Sena
tor Watson played a conspicuous
part iu helping to put through the
disfranchisement program."
Of all men In Georgia. ex-Gov-
ernor Slaton is the last one to have
brought into this campaign this
reference to the late Senator Wat
son. When Slaton was in the Leg
islature and the proposed disfran
chisement of the negro was before
the House, Slaton opposed the
measurw to his limit, and finally
voted to reject it. Senator Watson
was then fighting aggressively for
that disfranchisement measure, and
Slaton antagonized Watson to the
last. The House Journal shows that
Slaton voted against this proposed
law. Slaton admits as much in his
attempted explanation of hia atti
tude. How perfectly ridiculous for
Slaton to pretend that be ever fa
vored White Supremacy In Georgia
when he failed to take advantage of
an opportunity to aid in outlawing
the ignorant and vicious negro
from participating in Georgia's af
fairs.
Will Slaton name these alleged
leaders of 8enator Watson? He cer
tainly knows that not one man In
100 followers of the late Senator
Thomas E Watson in Georgia is
now importing Slaton. On the other
hand, they ore actively supporting
me everywhere.

Knowing or Iibb the right to say
whether the friends of the late Sen
ator Watson are supporting me or
Slaton? Certainly hla closest sur
viving relatives, his only living
brother and a favorite nephew—
Hon William A. Watson, of Thom
son. and Mr. A. D. Watson, of Lou
isville. I have in my possession
letters from both of them, one
dated July 12th, and the other
August 9th, 1930. I quote from the
letter of Hon. W. A Watson:
“It gives me pleasure to say that
you can count on my support In the
coming election, uud I wish to as
sure you that my friendship and
continued loyalty to you will be for
more reasons than one. One rea

Senator into this campaign, and
now tell the people the mind of

In 1929 this Company extended elec
tric service to thirty-two Georgia com
munities which previously had had no
electric service at all. Three more towns
gained the benefits of full time service
for the first time. And six, which had
been depending upon small, isolated
plants, were given dependable power.
Thus 41 new Georgia towns were given
power service which would help them
attract industry—which always seeks
dependable electric power as an essen
tial of operation.
During 1929 and part of 1928, a total
of 56 new rural power lines were con
structed. Others now being built will
soon bring electric service to a total of
3,000 Georgia farm families. A remark,
