WATSON CHARGES TURNS
OUT TO HE FARCICAL
Couldn't Even Prove Any of Them by
Deserters and a (ieneral Crowd
of Irresponsible .Men
i
a
The Greensboro News, referring to
Tom Watson's charges that men were
killed by officers and others hanged
without trial, says that the hearing
has degenerated into a pitable farce
as mi,;ht have been expected. Desert
ers, renegades, thieves, even insane
men, have been dragged to the wit
ness stand to bolster up the Georgian's
tottering cause; and Senator Wat
son has cause indeed to say with old
Sir John, '"if I be not ashamed of
my soldiers, I am a soused gurnet!"
Yet even with the legion of sorry
rascals that the senator has brought
to Washington he hns not been able
to prove the least noteworthy of his
charges; and the emptiness of them
all is becoming more apparent every
day.
Yet at least one officer of the
American Expeditionary Forfes has
been done a bitter injury. Major
Opie's reputation may be cleared, but
nothing will ever wipe out the scars
of the experience that he has been
through. To be held up before the
country, not merely as a murderer,
but as the murderer or brave men
who were defend ins their country
against its most dangerous enemy
well, no matter how many times a
man may be acquitted, he never quit-;
recovers from a thing like that. And
now it appears that the charge was
made on the testimony of a crazy
man!
Thus the Georgian senator's craze
for notoriety has led him to attempt
to blacken the reputation of a gal
lant officer whose only crime was
that he happened to have men in hi
command who later went crazy. The
witness' own infirmity absolves him
fiom blume. It now rests on Watson;
for, even if we give him the benefit
of the doubt and admit that he
believe the charges himself, it must
not be forgotten that an effort was
made to conduct this investigation
in private, and Watson defeated it.
Had the charges been looked into
privately, when it was found that
the only witness against Opie was
a crazy man, whereas the iiicer
could bring any num.ier of f.me nun
to testify in his behalf, the thinc
would have been dropped of co'jr.-u1.
and the major would not have been
put through this soul-scaring expe
rience. But who could expert Watson to
be stopped by considerations of de
cency, when he had proved, during
the war, that he could r.ot be stopped
even by consideration of the safety
of his country? Watson can'c within
an ace of meeting the same fate tin;
overtook Debs; he wai a Germaiio
phile, and an obstructionist cf "he
most offensive sort during th? w.
but he was shrewder lhan D!s i.nd
so managed to stay just within the
law. Such a man is ':apaiIe of any
thing, even the infamv of this scur
rilous affair.
LOCAL LEGION WANTS
1HG MEMBERSHIP IN '22
Six Hundred Ex-Service Men in the
County And at Least Two
Hundred Are Wanted
I!y Olin McManus, Adjutant.
For the information of the mem
bers of Melvin Deese Post No. 27
American Legion and all other ex
service men of Union county, the ad
jutant wishes to make known the
plans formulated by the new com
mander, Mr. Sam II. Lee, and the
executive committee, for a member
ship drive for 11)22.
The sole aim of the post is to bring
into the Legion a minimum member
ship of not less than two hundred for
H22. There are some six hundred
ex-service men in Union county eligi
ble for the American Legion and by
putting forth a Little extra effort this
purpo-e can be accomplished.
This year's membership campaign
is divided in two committees, Henry
W. Crow chair of one and Thomas
N. Lee, chairman of the other. Each
chairman has a list of men eligible
for membership in the American Le
gion. These chairmen are to divide
their list in sub-divisions with sub
chairmen and in this way every eligi
ble person can and will be reached.
In cases where a person renews his
dues tn any officer of the Legion the
committee which has this name will
receive credit for same.
A report of this committee will be
heard at the next regular meeting
of the Legion on the first Monday
night in February at the Legion hall
7;30 o'clock. This meeting will be
held jointly with the Americnn Le
gion Auxiliary and refreshments will
be served also.
The membership team securing the
most paid up members is to be enter
tained by the losing committee on tho
first Monday night in March at th-?
Legion Club rooms.
Remember the teams are composed
of all the names on each chairman's
list, i.nd it is up to every man to
bring in another member along witn
him in order to help his comni'ttee
on top.
In the next few issues of the local
papers some very interesting points
with regard to the American Legion
will be brought to the attention of
the ex-service men of Union county
ns well as to the public.

Power Task

. In fact the Fordson will do every power
job, both draw-bar and bolt, more quick
ly and at less cost than it can be dons
with any other form of power. So every
month the whole year 'round the always
dependable Fordson will prove itself a
paying investment, bco o.'?3 cf its capa
bilities, its economy and eti:c:ency.
