A like reward will be paid for *uch evidence as will lead to the •crest and conviction of any per son or persons maliciously inter fering with or destroying the property of this company, at any point To the Editor of The Georgian. As our executive committee and my. eelf have been criticised ae making a mistake, and otherwise misrepresented, I feel It Is but a matter of Justice that 1 have a word of reply through the same papers. First. This committee meeting was regularly called, fairly conducted and did not transcend Its bounds. There were fully twice as many Populists present who concurred In and ap proved .the action of this committee as were at the convention which elect ed delegates to our last national con vention which put out our national ticket. The members present were good, true Populists, who desire the welfare of our party, and would not make a mistake Intentionally. I 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 It had a perfect right to 4, but I do say meet and do what It did. Time will prove the wisdom or un wisdom of calling the convention. and If time develops the wisdom 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 agree on auch plan of organisation as they see tit; and I urgently request the Georgia Populists to do this, and aee 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 principles, even If It mi* offices. There Is no use denying the fact that the Populism of Georgia are divided In policy at this time, and It seema to mo a matter of the greatsat Impor tance that they should meet and en deavor to harinonlzo. Many are for the Hon. Hoke Smith. Some few are for each of the other candidates, and many aro fully determined to stay out of the Democratic primary. This element argues that to go Into the primary and take the pledge Imposed that they are then honorably bound for fwo years, and would not be free to vote our ticket In 1(08; and that our party In Geor gla would be absolutely dead. This ele. ment of our party wanta a ticket so they will have some one to vote for. GENERAL EVANGELIST CHOSEN BY BAPTISTS taking no atock either for or against any of the Democratic candidates, nor do I Intend to vote In their prlmnry. My chief concern and only concern, po litically, la to maintain our party or ganization and party honor. t know Mr. Watson feels that he and his party are bound by his pledge on the disfranchisement measure; but surely no fair-minded Democrat would rigidly and so unreasonably construe that pledge ns to mean that wo should renounce our party, turn our back on our snered principles and become bucked and gagged for the sweet privi lege of becoming organized Democrats, No man surpasses me In my esti mation of Mr. Watson. I believe In his honesty; I believe In his Integrity snd almost glory In his conviction for right. But the best of us sometimes mako mlatakes, and the wisest sometimes get misinformed. I believe Mr. Watson has been misinformed, In some degree, about our committee masting, and If 1 did not believe be would approve of my course In the end In trying to pre- serve our party organization 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 th|s purpose, Bm ’ Very respectfully, J. J. HOLLOWAY.

WHITE SLAVES BEATEN BY INHUMAN MASTER AN ITALIAN IS ARRE8TE0 ON A CHARGE OF ABOUCTING A YOUNG WOMAN. n OPPOSITION TO.GIRL’S SUITOR BRINGS DEA THAND POVERTY Ily Private leased Wire. Ketcong. N. J., June 25.—His daugh ter dead, slain by her former flanco who also killed himself, his wife near death from nervous shock, his home and barn burned, Henry Cowley today finds himself financially ruined os a re suit of the opposition to the marriage of his daughter, Iti will, 1 am sure, be strictly with respect to •he authority and responsi bility of local churches. Our people generally, In my opinion, do not believe that tho centralised big meeting meth od la the wisest or most effective way to reach the unsaved in the cltlea. It ta not a question whether these meet ings do good or not. Of course, they do good. “But the question Baptists and others aro considering Is whether they do the moat good, and whether they are the best for the cause of Christ In the long run. There Is now before the home mission b'Htt‘1 ;i proponed method which, I believe, will be approved by our Southern Baptist people, which differs ement tally from the centralized meeting method. 'Ur. Hamilton Is a wise worker and understands the Baptist people. He will come to this new work about Sep* tember 1, and will live In Atlanta** osc May, and Cleve land Longcore. An Inquest Into the details of the deaths was begun by Coroner Sintlh this morning, but It waa only a formal ity. The man who had wrought all the evil was dead by his own hand. The crime of Longcore, a prosperous farm er and for many yeara a power In poli tics, has stirred the cntlro community. Cowley, a neighbor, was equally promi nent and the families had been Inti- male for years.
