III WATSON’S PLANS.
Will lie i live Active Sup
port to the Candidacy
ol Mr. Brown?
T l„, ri , js much speculation ns to
depositin'' of'Mr. Watson in tho
, )r psont state campaign and tho
Lnplc generally urn looking for-
Ivnr.l to a definite announcement
from him with groat interest.
Ilm »<.vere attacks upon Gov.
Smith during tho past low weeks
] mv ,» encouraged Mr. Brown’s
friends to believe that ho will
support Mr. Brown actively and
openly.
It ;s stated that even Mr. Wat
son's support of Mr. Brown could
not change tlm result, however,
nnd that Smith could he elected
without the populist vote and be
sides that many of them will
support the governor anyway.
Shortly after the last elo:tion
the Atlanta Journal figured it out
tlml thegov< rnor would have Been
elected without the populist vote
overall the candidates audit is
claimed that Mr. Watson and
other populists construed this
article of the Journal to mean a
lark of appreciation of the sup
port of the populists and an un
derestimate of the populist
strength in Georgia.
The Atlanta Journal stated then
os follows:
“In the presidential election of
1901 Hon. Thomas E. Watson,
populist candidate, received in
Georgia a total populist vote of
28,400. Hoke Smith’s majority
in the primaries of last week was,
as has been shown, 25,048. Had
not these 28,400 populists, who
supported Mr. Watson in 1904,
been allowed to vote in tho recent
primary, granting they all voted
for Hoke Smith, Mr. Smith’s ma
jority still would have been 1,558,
while his plurality over his closest
MUSI REGISTER
FOR THE PRIMARY
Chairman Miller of the
State Committee Has
So Rul£d.
Those who desire to vote in the
primay June 4th must register ac
cording to the interpretation of
the rules adopted by the chairman
of the State Democratic Executive
Committee, Judge Miller of
Macon.
As there was no election last year
it is necessary to register for the
coming election.
It is hoped that every qualified
voter will register for the coming
primary and all candidates should
ut'ge their friends to do so, as it is
a matter often delayed and fre
quently forgotten.
Masonic Convention
For Sandersville.
Members oft lie Masonic frater
nity and the citizens generally
will be glad to entertain the mem
bers throughout the county and
others who will attend the con
vention to lie held in this city
April Hth.
There will probably be a large
attendance at the convention as a
cordial invitation is extended,
not only to the several lodges of
the county but to all members of
the order who desire to lie present.
WILL THE JOKE AFFECT
HIS CANDIDACY?
MR. WARTHEN WILL
NOT BE CANDIDATE.
opponent would have been de
creased but little.”
In tho same issue, in the course
of editorial comment on the news
story the following is said to have
given deep offonse to Mr. Watson
and his friends:
“So that even if Hoke Smith
had not received the support of
the former popul ist in the election
just ended—even if tho attempt
to exclude them from the prima
ries had slice eded—lie would still
have received a safe majority over
his four competitors.”
That’s the Question Keep
ing Back Announcement
for Representative.
Just as a member of the Wash-
ngton couuty bar was considering
giving out an announcement of
his candidacy for representative
on the platform of a popular
merchant, hanker and military
man of the city, which embraces
only two words, “plant corn,”
along came another member of
the bar and all innocently of the
serious result of the story, allowed
as how he had seen the prospective
aspirant for legislative honors
plowing of a gray horse in his
garden and handling the plow
handles with a lack of grace and
ease calculated to make the horse
augli and using language unbe
coming to an aspirant for so high
an honor as a member of the
house of representatives. But,the
story is a good one and whatever
etfoct it has on the hopes and as
pirations of the other fellow, its a
good joke and readers are referred
to Attorney Wright for particu
lurs.
1 n t lie meantime, < lie fellow who
plowed the lmrse is wondering if
the story has laid him out on what
Chairman McLendon would call a
Procrustean bed and if the voters

Probable that Candidates
For Representative will
Not be Opposed.
In a card published in the Pro
gress Tuesday Col. Gvo. D. War-
then announces that he will not
be in the race for Representative.
There had been some talk that Mr.
Warthen might run.
It is probable that Messrs. Join
er and Lord will not have opposi
tion.
Some others have been spoken
of as probable candidates, but the
effort to get some one else in tin
race lias so far failed and it is
freely predicted that, both tin
present candidates will go without
any contest.

duties of a legislator that he can
not plow as gracefully as could
Attorney Wright and who perhaps
could not be able to get anybody
to run him for tlie year becausi
he could not plow well.
It is believed, however, that the
matter will be thoroughly consid
ered and that a challenge will bo
issued by the attorney who was
joked to the attorney who told it
to plow to a finish on the fair
ground farm and let an experienc
ed judge say which member of the
bar would make the best and most
graceful plow. hand. In the mean
time the county bosses are think
ing that there is no danger of the
announcement for representative
of a man whose good qualities as
a plow hand have been called in
question.
