HOLLOWAY STATES HIS POSITION Answers Criticisms of Populist Committee For Calling Convention—Believes Watson Has Been Misinformed. To the Editor of The Georgian. Aa our executive committee and my splf have been criticised aa making a mistake, and otherwise misrepresented, I feel It Is but a matter of justice that have a word of reply through the same papers. First. This committee meeting was regularly called, fairly conducted and did not transcend Its bounds. Thsre rere fully twice as many Populists present who concurred In . and ap proved the action of this committee aa were at the convention which elect' ed delegates to our last .national can' ventlon which put out our national ticket. The members present were good, true Populists, who desire the welfare of our party, and would not maka a mistake Intentionally. 1 don’t believe their actions were In fluenced by talk from outside sources. - I am not saying or arguing that the committee did not make a mistake In calling a nominating convention July 4, but I do aay it had a perfect right to meet end do what It did. Time will prove the wisdom or un wisdom of calling the convention. The wisest of men make mlstakea, and If time develops the wisdom of postponing a nomination July 4, the convention will have a perfect right to do ao, or even make no nomination at all. Populists certainly do have a right to. meet, elect new officers and agres on $500.00. The above reward will be paid for such evidence ns will lead to irreit and conviction of the party of parties who maliciously cut a number of wires on cable pole at corner of Pcachtreo and Seventh streets, during Wednesday night, April 19, or Thursday morning, April 20. A like reward will be paid for Web evidence as will lead to the •rrest and conviction of any per- •on or persons maliciously inter fering with or destroying the property of this company, at any point Southern Beil Telephone and Telegraph Company, J- EPPS BROWN, General Manager. sad WHISKEY HABIT* cured at home with out twin. Book of esr- tleul.r* rent FIBS, such plan of organisation aa they see lit: and I urgently request the Georgia Populists to do this, and see that their party does not die. Even good Democrats would hate to see It die. for many have acknowledged that It has done much good by advocating good principle*, even It It nils no offleea. There la no use denying the fact that the Populists of Georgia are divided In policy at this time, and It seems to me a matter of the greatest Impor tance that they should meet and en deavor to harmonise, Many are for the Hon. Hoke Smith. Some few are for, each of the other candidates, and many are fully determined to stay out of the Democratic primary. This element then honorably bound for two years, and would not be free to vote our ticket In 190S; and that our party In Geor gia would be absolutely deed. This ele ment of our party wants a ticket so they will have some one to vote for. I wish to sey that personally I am taking no stock either for or against any of the Democratic candidates, nor do I Intend to vote In their primary. My chief concern end only concern, po litically. Is to maintain our party or- Kaniratton and party honor. • I know Mr. Watson feels that ho and his party are bound by his pledge on the disfranchisement measure: but surely no fair-minded Democrat woule so rigidly and so unreasonably construe that pledge as to mean that we should renounce our party, turn our hack on ouf sacred principles and become bucked and gagged for the sweet privi lege of becoming organised Democrats. No man surpasses me In my esti mation of Mr. Watson. I believe In his honesty; I believe In his Integrity and almost glory In his conviction tor right. But the best of us sometimes make mistakes, and the wisest sometimes get misinformed. 1 believe Mr. Watson has been misinformed. In some degree, about our committee meeting, end If I did not believe ha would approve of my course In tbe end In trying to pre- serye our party organisation I would not be writing these lines. _ • _ Again urging upon the Populists of Georgia the Importance of understand ing each other, and the great necessi ty of coming together for (his purpose, I am, GENERAL EVANGELIST CHOSEN BN BAPTISTS ’ rc»p«< HOLLOWAY.

REV, 0, J, COPELAND LEAVES JACKSON HILL Following close upon the heels of the news of the return to Atlanta of former pastor of Jackson Hill Baptist church, Rev. J. J. Rennstt, comes the resignation of ths present paetor of ths church. Rev. Oliver J. Copeland. An nouncement waa made by Mr. Cope land himself, when at ths morning ser vices on Sunday he read to the congre gation his formal resignation. It came entirely unexpected, as Mr. Copeland had been with the church only a little more than a year, and had grown to be very popular with the members of hie pastorate. Besides being a very force ful preacher, Mr. Copeland has made a splendid record as a pastor, and Jack- son Hill Ms grown largely while he has been In charge. He goes to take the pulpit of the Gainesville Baptist ehureh. which num bers some of ths most prominent Bap- tlsts In Georgia among Its members. This Is the third time Mr.'Copeland has been called to Gainesville, and h* Ma at last yleldfd to ths urgency of, their request. His resignation Is not to take efTect for sixty days, so tMt Jackson Hill will be able to secure e successor before be leaves. No move has os yet been made to look for a successor to Mr. Copeland, as his resignation was entirely unexpected. REV. SHIVES CALLED TO PORTSMOUTH CHURCH Special te The Groeglaa. Portsmouth. V*..

The rail will <- ex. leaded through the South Carolina -Prvshy. tery. In accordance with the action taken at the Southern Baptist convention at Chattanooga recently, tbe committee having the matter In charge has se lected ns the general evangelist for the Southern Baptist church Dr. W. W Hamilton, of Louisville. The commit' tee,' which selected Dr. Hamilton, li composed of tho following ministers: Dr. John F. Purser, chairman; Rev. John E. White and Rev. John Briggs. They have already notified Dr. Hamil ton of his selection and he has wired his acceptance The headquarters of this department of church work will probably be In At Unto, though no final plans havo been made as yet. Dr. Hamilton will as sume his new duties some tlmo In the early fall. "Dr. Hamilton Is well known In At lanta," says Dr. John E. White, who Is one of the committee In direction of this movement. "He was with me In a two weeks' meeting In tho Second Bap list church three years ago. "Since then he has been In the public eye ns an evangelist, and especially ns a director of the great Louisville meet ings a year ago. He Is a strong man. Ha has common sense. There Is noth- Ing bizarre or sensational In his meth ods and he will win the support of ear nest Christians everywhere. 'Tho lines along which Southern Baptists will conduct their evangelistic work will, 1 am sure, be strictly with respect to -he authority anil responsi bility of local churches. Our people generally, In my opinion, do not bellovo that tho centralised big meeting meth od Is the wisest or most effeettvs way to reach the unsaved In the cities. It Is not a question whether these meet ings do good or not. Of course, they do good. "But ths question Baptists and othsrs are considering Is whether they do the most good, and whether they are ths best for the cause of Christ In the long run. There Is now before the home mission board a proposed method which, I believe, will be approved by our Bouthern Baptist people, which differs essentially from the centralized meeting method. "Dr. Hamilton Is a wise worker and understands the Baptist people. He will come to this new work about Bep- tember 1, and Will llvo In Atlanta.” A Valued and Discriminating Tribute To the Editor of Ths Georgian: Omar said of the “Koran,” "Destroy ell your libraries, for their value Is In this book.” Something of the kind might be said of The Georgian. If a magnified cnlor of some particular viewpoint Is wanted, why. read The Journal; If Its opposite Is desired, read The Constitution. But If the whole truth Is sought, and an Intelligent, unbiased opin ion upon the Important Issues before the people la what a man wants to And In his dally paper. The Georgian nils the bill. It Is the only newspaper 1 have ever seen that I deem worth keep ing a complete file of. A regularly read dally paper has more to do with shaping and direct ing our thoughts and convictions on public questions than any other agency, and the paper that aubordlnates Its highest duty to that of per sonal gain In whatever sphere, should be given nbsent treatment for a while, at least, by the respectable, truth-loving element of'our cltzena. We people of the unparllcularlsed mass, the great unheard-of number, usually get what wo demand of the dally gueal Hint abould come to our homea and (lrealdss to brighten and chasr and educate. Wishing for you nnd The Georgian much prosperity and the In creased confidence of all the people, I remain your admirer and sub scriber. H. L.
