J. M. BROWN AND W. J.
BRYAN.
All politicians should recognize the
political power of T. E. W.
“Marse” Henry YVatterson thinks it
will be Bryan by acclamation.
Be careful always not to dare the
other fellow to run against you.
Never under any circumstances
throw off on the other man as “little.”
Now they are taking straw ballots
for president, showing everything
Bryan.
Get down to business after all elec
tions and make hay while the sun
shines.
But, is little Joe Brown for Bryan?—
From about a dozen of the Georgia
newspapers.
So far ns is known the best expres
sion by Mr. Brown on this subject was
in a telegram to the Richmond county
YV. ,T. Bryan club.
This Bryan club, in the last days of
the election wired Candidate Hoke
Smith and Candidate Joseph M. Brown
asking of each the assurance, in the
event of success in the primary, il they
would employ their influence to the
end of securing the state’s support of
Bryan as the democratic nominee for
president. To the telegram Gov. lloke
did not reply. Mr. Brown replied as
follows:
“Atlanta, Ga., June 1. 1908.
“Harry 1). Calhoun, Augusta, Ga.:
Reply to your telegram of the thirtieth
delayed on account of my not coming
to Atlanta on Sunday.
“I shall not undertake to dictate to
the convention. I shall ask the execu
tive committees throughout Georgia
to select delegates representative of
the sentiments from their respective
‘counties.
“(Signed) Joseph M. Brown”.
OLDER THAN THE UNIT
ED STATES.
THE OEOROIA LESSON.
Handsome men should carefully
avoid calling attention to homeliness
in others.
When victorious always be generous
to the opposition, and when defeated
take it easy.
Never underestimate the number of
“durn fools.” This advice free to
Rube Arnold.
A harmonious democratic party
seeme to be the prospect with Mr. Bry
an the nominee.
Never fall out with the one who is
against you. You may need him at a
time ye know not of.
Mr. Watson will be notifled on July
9th of hU nomination by the populists
for President and il is assured that he
will accept.
Yesterday’s primary in Georgia wns
of far-reaching importance because the
contest was to decide whether the rad
ical, populistic element, under the
name of reform, wns to continue in
power or whether the Uve-and-let-live
principle was to prevail. The good
sense of the people, who tire of shams,
asserted itself and Georgia demagogy
was routed.
A cheer for Brown will go up in
every southern state where radicalism
had got a footing. A brighter day is
dawning from the Potomac to the
Gulf. The lesson is Georgia will not
be forgot.—Birmingham Age Herald
QUOTING SCRIPTURE.
If men persist in teasing you. laugh
and feel good. In politics the boot
may be on the other leg some time in
the future.
The New York World hns published
a pamphlet against William J. Bryan
and heads its list of reasons why Mr
Bryan should lay down the party lend
ershipwith this quotation from First
Samuel:
“And everyone that was in distress
and everyone that was in debt, and
everyone that wns discontented gath
er themselves unto him ; and he be
came a captain over them; and there
were with him about four hundred
For Clerk Unexpired Term.
There is a negro in New York, one
William BrooksMason, who|clnims to
be older than the United States of
America. He gives his age ns 138.
That means that he was six years old
when the Declaration of Independence
signed; that he was seventeen
when the Constitution w as adopted;
that he wns forty-two when we went
o war with England in 1812; that he
was seventy-six when we sht out to
conquer nil empire from Mexico; that
he wns ninety-one when the war for
secession began ; and that he was 1*28
when feeble Spain’s colonial posses
sions were wiped off the map by “man
ifest destiny” backed by the McKinley
administration.
And yet the gay old darkey is elms
ing around after a young wife of thir
ty years who recently fled from him to
South Carolina, lie took his com
plaint and the story of bis age to the
Hundred and Twenty sixth street
police station. “Somehow Icannotbe-
ieve it,” remarked the lieutenant at
the peak of the station bouse. “But I
guess that I’ll have to, for he said that
lie was a minister.”
Such faith in the cloth is inspiring,
but it is apt to provoke a smile iu the
South, where there are so many old
negroes whose births were not recorded
n slavery days, who do not know how
old they are and in their ignorance, ate
inclined toward romancing that would
do credit to a Baron Muncbuusen.—
Macon Telegraph.
I hereby announce my candidacy
for Clerk of Washington Superior
Court for the unoxpired term
of Hon. H. B. Massey and will
appreciate the support of my
friends and the general public.
Sincerely Yours,
Wm. A. Bell.
For Clerk Superior Court.
To the voters of Washington
county:
Having been urged and solici
ted by friends to enter the race
for clerk of Superior court to till
the vacancy caused by the death
of Mr. II. B. Massey, I have de
cided to enter the race.
Having been appointed to net
as Clerk until some one is quali
fied according to law, I will not
able to do any canvassing and
will have to depend almost en
tirely upon my friends in the
flatter.
The election is ordered to be
held on June 25th, and will thank
my friends to look after my inte
rest at the polls.
Respectfully,
Pierce E. Gross.

Notice.
Swearing vengeance against the fel
low who worked against you profits
nothing except to make him the same
way next time.
It is said that Chairman Jordan did
not enjov naming Brown delegates
from ft Smith county but “that rule”
so commanded.
The heaviest vote over polled in
Georgia or any other Southern state
showed the great interest of the people
in the recent campaign.
A gentleman remarked yesterday
that be hadn’t j>een bis pastor since
Easter, all on account of the merry
widow lmt at churoli services.
Never make the mistake to think
you are entitled to the credit where
thousands of men vote. There is al
ways enough credit to go all around.
A few of the papers that supported
Mr. Brown seem to want to rub it in.
Titk Herald is rather inclined to be
more considerate, because wo remem
ber the other campaign.
“Little Joe” refuses to take advan
tage of that rule and name the Presi
dential Candidate for the people of
Georgia. A good start toward restor
ing democratic government.
It now appears that that unopend
letter sent Governor Smith by Mr.
Brown was the latters resignation ns
It. R. Commissioner. What a fortun
ate thing for the governor would it
have been if he had opened it.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer thinks
that the cut in the first-class postage
rates between the United States and
Great Britain to two cents should
“greatly increase American trade with
Great Britain.” “Orders ure sent
largely by mail and the lower postuge
will promote the ordering of American
goods.” It is difficult to conceive of
large mail orders, or a considerable
number of small ones, between the
two countries, turning upon the insig
nificant reduction in the postuge rate.
If a merchant in Great Britain wishes
to order goods of a certain sort from
an American manufacturer he does
not stop to ask whether the carriage
of the letter will be one penny or
tuppence. They are pretty close cal
culators in Great Britain, to he sure,
but they do not count incidental frac
tions that closely. The reduction will
total a lot in postal receipts, hut it will
mean little to individuals ; not enough
to attract a great volume of new trude <

men.
The Fort Wyne, Ind., Gazette says
i he personage mentioned in the ques-
ion is, as everyone knows, David, the
son of Jesse, and just why the New
York World should hold him up as a
warning to Mr. Bryan is past compre
hension. Indeed, the prophets of liry-
anism could find nothing from cover to
cover of the Good Book that so aptly
lits Mr' Bryan’s case, nothing in the
wide range" of literature or history
suered or profane, that form a more
striking parallel, or, what was more,
justifies more sanguine hope of Mr.
Bryan’s ultimate triumph.
There are a good many people who
are in distress, millions who are in debt
(and going broke everyday.) millions
who are discontented under trust rule
j and they have indeed gathered them-
| selves unto William J. Bryan, and he
has become a captain over them.
But the World should have .pursued
the subject further, and have recounted
what the captain and his four hundred
did. It’s all in the hook of Samuel
too. Like Bryan touring the world
and returning welcomed as no Ameri
can had been welcomed, David return
ed from his wanderings, and here is
what he and his four hundred did
Hero it is as we lind it recorded in
the First and Second Books of Samuel
And David smote them from the
twilight even unto the evening of the
next day.
And Duvid recovered all that the
Amelekites had carried away.
And David took all the docks and the
herds which they drove before those
other cattle, and said, this is David’s
spoil.
In the Second Book of Samuel, we
read:
And the men of Judah came and
they appointed David king over the
house of Judah.
No A’ there was long war between the
house of Saul and the house of David ;
but David waxed stronger and stronger
and the house of Saul waxed weaker
and weaker.
Then came all the tribes of Israel to
David into Hebron and spake, saying
haliwld, we are thy hone and thy llesli.
—V : 1.
And David reigned over all Israel;
and David executed judgment and
justice unto ail his people.
By all means let us liken Bryan to
David. Their histories are so nearly
similar that the last verse we quoted
rings like a prophecy, in whose fulfill
ment the American people will hear
their part next November.
All that is necessary to carry out the
simile is to let the world play the role
of Saul, and no witch of Endor is
needed to foretell the result of the
coming battle. — Urangeburg Times-

New York, June 0.—New York hnd
its lirst public view to-day of one of
the new sheath gowns—with a wearer
inside—and the old town could have
been scnrcely more excited hnd the
stock exchange gone out of business.
The most vivid recollection of the
hundreds who witnessed the affair is
that the woman wore gray stockings.
This much they know, for this much
they saw. True, the woman had on a
pearl griiy gown, matched with an im
mense gray hat and suede slippers,
but these mere incidents of her ap
parel were twenty-secondary to the
dainty effect disclosed by the-slit in
the side of her skirt that extended
from the knee to the hem—if that’s
hat you call the boundary line of a
skirt.
The fair young thing who turned the
heads of nil who saw her went to the
pier to sec* a friend off on the Oceanic.
She drove to the pier in a carriage,
and with her escort started jauntily
p the gang-plank. In some mysteri
ous manner the crowd instantly seemed
to get next, and there was more “rub
ber-necking” in the next few minutes
than wns ever known among a like
number of people in the history of the
world.
Had she handed out -flO gold pieces
to all who applied, the crowd could not
have pressed forward more eagerly.
She first blushed, then blanched and
then nonplussed herself, while her gal
lant escort tried to light his way
through the crowd.
They finally readied the boat, and
when they found the excitement there
just as keen, they out short their
adieus and .struggled hack to the car
riage.
The slit in the gown behaved admir
ably— that is, from the viewpoint of the
crowd—and everybody got an eye full.
