PAGE TEN ZETTERJ TROM THE PEOPLE Covington, Tenn., June 15, 1907. Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Atlanta, Ga. Dear Sir: I wish you would please give me some information in regard to the cause of the great rise in the price of news p: per, and if it is not asking too much, suggest a remedy for us. The great hope of the coun try is in the country weekly, but if we are taxed to death, this hope will soon be a thing of the past. The postoffice department, that pays its millions to railroads for car rying the mail, can soon put us out of business, if the tax is made a lit tle higher, and then get unfriendly rulings from the department. It strikes me that we as newspaper people, should all demand free pulp, that all tariff be taken off of pulp and paper. Then we should do something to stop the government from entering the job printing busi ness in competition with the local newspaper or job printer. Every merchant, banker and lawyer in the land has his envelopes printed by the Government. This is an outrage that ought not to be submitted to by the people who make congressmen and senators. If you can give me some informa tion on these matters you will greatly oblige, Your friend, R. H. GREEN. Evens, Ga., June 17, 1907. Hon. Thos. E. Watson, My dear Sir: Yours of the 24th of May, also the 15th of June, re ceived and contents nol c-'d. In re ply will say, I world have answered sooner, but I have been sick• besides I was looking out for a man for your Jeffersonian and your magazine. I have got Mr. T. J. WaHer of Evens, to consent to canvass the contv for your two publications. I wish I could do this work myself, but it is so that I cannot leave home. Well, Tom, I predicted sixteen years ago that the Democratic party would take yon up and land you in the Senate. Sometimes I think that day is not far off if you will give your consent. Tilings are working your way very fast. Sixteen years ago Tom Watson was about the only man of any note that advocated the government control of railroads. Who would have thought then that we would have a president of the We Commenced Selling' Good Clothing Sixteen Years Ago We improve our Manufacturing facilities with every season’s advent.

I am getting very anxious to hear you spea kagain. I am not well, but I think if you were to speak in 20 miles of me and I had no other way to go except to walk, I would go. Now, Tom, please pardon me for writ ing you such a long letter. I read a good many of your letters over; you can afford to read one of mine. With best wishes for you and your better half, I remain, Your true friend, CAPT. C. L. WEST. -———< Lewiston, Ark., 6-14- ’O7. Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga. Dear Sir: The best I can learn is, that B. M. Bush sold his paper (for what cause I do not know) to one C. B. Andrews, a regular silk hat whelp, who represented Nevada Co. and was charged with taking a bribe while in the legislature, lay in jail a while, and was acquitted—a ver dict rendered by arch-Democracy. One man in Georgia I am proud of —it don’t matter what he may do in future —and that is John Temple Graves. He is a brave man, one that dares to tell a truth. There was a time when I hated a Populist worse than the Devil hates holy water, but when G. Cleveland, Esq., was elected and failied to comply with any prom ises his party had made, his treach ery was so palpably plain that un der the preaching of such men as J. 0. A. Bush, Harry Tracy, Cyclone Davis, and a little pamphlet by T. E. Watson on public ownership of rail ways, telegraphs, etc., I subscribed to the “faith once delivered to the Saints.” And I believe when a man knows what is right it is his duty to do it, so here is my hand to the end. Capt. W. B. Parks, a true Popu list, and who made the race once in our State for Governor, died yester day morning at 10 o’clock. I for one would love to see Gordon Nye’s picture in your magazine. Will try and get some subscribers on your No. 3 club proposition for weekly. With best wishes for you and yours, I am your friend, W. M. FORMBY. WATSON’S WEEKLY JEFFERSONIAN. FRIENDS!
