The Populist state convention will meet in Atlanta on the 16th of next month and the agitation for candidates is being live ly in the party ranks. A likely candidate for the gubernatorial nomination as is learned from a reliable source, is Col. J. H. Traylor, of Lovelace. Judge Hines is spoken of, as is also Col. W. L. Peek, of Conyers. It is learned, however, that Colonel Peek will probably be presented by the convention with the nomination for commissioner of agricul ture, and that he will accept it. The Augusta Tribune, one of the lead ing Populist organs of the state, still fa vors Mr. Watson for governor, and insists that he should be nominated whether he wants it or not. In yesterday’s issue of that paper appears the following: “The Tribune favors "Watson for gov ernor. Our reasons for this have been stated, and they strike a responsive chord, not only in the hearts and minds of Pop ulists, but of a very large number of Dem ocrats as well. “We believe that the Populist conven tion, when it meets in Atlanta on the 16th of next month, should nominate Watson. We are confirmed in this belief since we have seen the responses which our edito rial in a recent issue advocating his nomi nation has called forth. Watson as the nominee of the People’s party for governor will mean his election; and Watson for governor will mean that the great state of Georgia will start on a new- era of in dustrial development, in which her re united people will work shoulder to shoulder with only the one purpose in view of building up the material interests of the state.” CA.STOS’TjJk.

Twenty-two business men who acted as the coroner’s jury in the investigation of the recent great fire in London and served for fourteen working days received 4 pence (8 cents) each as compensation. The Delaware and Hudson Railroad has adopted a competitive system in dealing with employes, with the view of enhanc ing efficiency, eliminating favoritism and making merit the reason for promotion. Women in France have just secured a slight addition to their legal rights. They may henceforth be valid witnesses to reg istrations of births, marriages and deaths, and to the signatures in legal documents. In a report to the state department United States Consul Monohan, at Chem nitz, shows that workmen wounded by ac cident in Germany have been paid in the last eleven years, over and above their wages, nearly $120,000,000. A paper read before the British Asso ciation at Bath in praise of corsets de clared that “reasonably tight” lacing in creased mental and physical activity by causing a more liberal supply of blood to the brain, muscles and nerves. Two glasses of a temperance drink served to a London doctor by a teetotal family contained so much alcohol that the doctor was made unable to walk straight across the room. He is now lecturing against ginger ale and root beer as in toxicants. The women of Seattle, Wash., have in stituted a society of Klondike widows. The list is exclusive, being restricted to those whose claims to “Klondike widow hood” are indisputable. Only the wives and sweetheart’s of men off to the gold fields are eligible, and no others need ap ply. “The Deacon’s One-Hoss Shay” has been outdone by the colonel’s “one hoss sleigh” A sleigh made by Col. David Moseley in 1776 has been in the family service ever since. • It is now owned by Edward Mose ley, of Westfield, Mass., a great-grandson. It is a low-back affair, and a “handsum critter” even now. A German professor has discovered that Freiherr Bernhard von Parravicini, of Schloss ißundeck, near Meran, in Tyrol, married for the fourth time at the age of 82 years, lived to be 104, and had seven children.
