never written an article abusing Mr.
Watson. Personally we admire the
man.

Mr. Watson’s tirades of abuse up
on his" neighbors, kinfolks and
friends, and his wild advise to the
colored people are doing both white
and colored more damage than will
"be repaired in years to come.

ocrat.
Congressman Thos. E. Watson
gave a free exhibition of himself
yesterday as a prize ring fighter in
one of the Georgia Railroad pas
senger coaches.
H3 jumped a Hancock county
democrat who stated he had deser*
ted the old party, hit him twice,
onc e in the back of the head and
then again under the left eye, at
the game time stating, as^told by
an eye witness^ he Was “a God
damned liar,” and [by his show of
temper nearly [frightened ithe la
dies into a panic andcaused one to
go into a panic ahd cafised oh6 to
go into hysterics.
This was the sensational theme
of discussion in nearly every por
tion of the fcity late yesterday af
ternoon apd last night. The Story
comes from gentlemen who were
eye witnesses of the affair and who
in unmistakable language, con
demned Mr.) Watson for using the
language he [did and showing his
temper in a pugilistic manner be
fore a coach full of ladies.
The afternoon train bn the Geor
gia road which arrived in the pity
at 4,; 15, brought down a delegation
of democrats, about four hundred
in number, the majority of which
came [from Sparta. Among the
delegation was Mr.. Frank
Jordari, a farmer of Hancock
county. When the triin reached
Thomson, Mr. Watson got on and
weht into the ladies coach,
there was a great amoufat of
o going on and among
those out Jordan. on the platform, yelling
was Mr.' When the train
started the-.crowd, upidejj that is those who

Pandemonlum reigned supreme
in the car. Ladies began scream
and excited men rushed in from
the other cars and everybody was
force to get as near the
as possible. Ope lady had
hysterics, and there was intense
excitement everywhere.
'"Cooler heads,"however, 1 came to
the ffont and finally got matters
quieted down*
. Mr. Jordan was sben after the
tram reached the city, and be
stated he was very sorry the fuss
occurred where it did. He did not
know that Mr. Watsbn waB in the
car, he said* when he entered cheer
ing as he ahd the crowd had been
doing while on the dutside. The
statement he made in reference to
Mr; Watson, Was true, however,
and he is willing to repeat it at
any time. Mr. Watson [struck him
from the rear and when he turned
to see who hit hmq he was struck
