AT HEAD OF
ARMED MOB
Former Populist Leader on the Warpath.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
THOMASTON, Ga., Nov. 5.--Thomas. E. Watson, candidate for the Vice-Presidency in 1896, once leader of the Populist party and later renowned as an author on account of the success of his historical works, has for the last two days been at the head of an armed faction representing the ultra prohibitionists of the town, which for a time threatened to meet in bloody combat the so-called liquor element, which also was under arms waiting for trouble.
McDuffie County is "dry" under the Georgia local option law, but there have been a number of charges of the existence of "blind tigers." Watson has taken a prominent part and for some time great bitterness has existed the former Congressman and the leaders of the faction which was charged with encouraging violations of the liquor laws.
A crisis was precipitated a few days ago, .when Watson was informed that a young man of the town had used some opprobrious epithets concerning him before a crowd in a local barber shop. Meeting the young man on the street a few hours later, Watson told him what he had heard. The former not only admitted his remarks, but repeated them, with curses. Bystanders prevented a personal encounter, but Watson's antagonist and his brothers proceeded to arm themselves, whereupon Watson also armed himself.
Friends of both sides were quickly under arms and for a time it seemed impossible to prevent bloodshed. Every dealer in the city handling firearms and ammunition was besieged and a battle was expected.
The affair was finally adjusted through the intervention of older citizens, who acted as intermediaries. and both factions have now laid aside their arms, though the bitterness has not been allayed and the trouble may break out again.

Ed Brown is getting the recognition he so richly deserves....
"Ed Brown Is Only A Symptom"
"Open Murmurs, Government Silence, Disaffection Retrial: Possible
Peaceful Solution to the Brown Dilemma"“Law represents the effort of man to organize society; governments, the efforts of selfishness to overthrow liberty.” - Henry Ward Beecher
"On January 12, Ed Brown of Plainfield, New Hampshire walked out of his federal criminal tax trial protesting what he claimed was the District Court’s unjust deprivation of his Rights to Due Process and a Fair Trial. He retreated to his rural home and publicly announced that he would resort to armed resistance if U.S. officials attempted to intercede or further deprive him his constitutionally protected Rights...."
"Unless the government can be forced, by some non-violent means (such as the retention of money) to recognize its constitutional obligation to respond to the People’s proper Petitions for Redress of constitutional torts, we can expect to see more people like Ed Brown willing to defend their Rights by violent means. Make no mistake: the government abhors opposition and will not voluntarily abandon its preference to act without accountability or constitutional restraint."
"Ed Brown’s case is not so much about tax evasion as it is about the failure of the government to respond to his Petitions for Redress of Grievances...."
Am very pleased to see that We The People Foundation has taken up interest in Ed Brown's case. Would be even more pleased to see quite a few others doing the same thing. For, Ed Brown's cause, for all intensive purposes, is the cause of all American people. Or, it damn well should be....

Online Interview with Ed Brown....
This man needs our help. He is standing on foundation principles and is putting his money where his mouth is. We The People need to listen to what this man has to say. For, if you listen to him you'll readily discover discover that he is NOT some "lunatic". With each successive battle that the perverse in our government are allowed to win by attrition. The more difficult it will be for We The People to resume our Rightful Sovereign authority. There MUST be a stand made, or we will be left with NOTHING to stand for....
