When his contemporaries 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 neath his long white beard. When lumbering passed out in Mi chigan, he turned to salt manufac turing and until last Saturday, when he was stricken ill, was active every work day. He bought into the lum ber industry in other states—Min nesota, the Carolinas, Florida, Cali fornia and much of the huge estate he left behind is represented in these holdings. j 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- | ships. I The strange life he led did not prevent Ruggles from taking an interest in the affairs of the world ■at large. Two years ago it was re vealed through a letter from the late Chief Justice William Howard Taft ^thut Ruggles in 1912 provided funds to organize and Znpport th" Ameri can Judiciary Society in an effort 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. Who has the best opportunity oi 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 son Is 1 ha 1 you have given your very best service to the people of Georgia, and have erer been on the lookout for their besl interests A further reason for my love and esteem for you Is for the great respect that you always showed to my brother (Senator Watson 1 and ulso to myself. I am very glad you did not enter Into a joint dis cussion 'or political matters with Mr Slaton It bus been my expe rience. going hack over many years, that no good ever resulted from these joint debates. bu« often great harm has grown out of them.” The following hi tbs persona! letter of Mr. A D. Watson. “Mrs. Watson and 1 have re ceived your campaign literature. have always supported you. and all our family connections are for yon. Uncle Tom (Senator Thomas E. Watson) was very fond of you the abort time be was associated with yon in the 8enate. I have been la several counties and have not beard a man say be would vote for Sla ton. and no one takes bis candi dacy seriously ” Who has the best right to know the mind of former Senator Wat son. these closest relatives living or Candidate Slaton now running for office, presuming to tell the mind and preference of the dead Sena tor? There has never been a more outrageous insult to the memory of Thomas E. Watson and bis real friends and followers than the ef fort of Mr. Slaton to bring the ex- Senator into this campaign, and now tell the people the mind of Senator Watson if he were living today. This attempt to 'deceive the people cannot be justified. These surviving relatives of the lato followers of the late Senator re view the Jeffersonian and other Watson publications. Numberless edftorials expressing most forcibly elation of lbe record of Governor Slaton These “alleged leaders" may now be following Slaton, but they certainly have departed could view this contest for Sen ator. be would turn over in bis grave to protest against such mis- Thc family, relatives and friends of lbe Inte Senator know that my relations were most cordial in every way with Mr. Watson while we were collea; ucs In the Senate, and Mr Watson stated repeatedly to Ids friends and followers “that no Senator worked harder for ihc cornim • people than Senator Har ris." Everywhere In every county tlic friends of Mr Watson are sup porting me practically 100%, anl otic Georgians to vote fur him. This Is a typical instance of his at tempted deception of the people on many tilings that he brought into this campaign. If the late Senator Watson were here today. Mr. Slaton would be in Europe with his family. If Senator Watson were still living. Slaton would not now be a candidate for any office in Georgia.

And ss that flmlop CITIZEN forward, it will have a broad influence on the movement of population—for men follow payrolls and payrolls follow power lines. 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.
