Men Who Have Been Bitter Enemies of the Democratic Organization Suddenly Make up Their Minds to Return Under the “White Pri mary” Idea and Ask for Office. Dublin, Ga., Feb. 28.—The Democrats of Laurens county are much iierturbod over the announcement of Mr. John R. Baggett for the Senate from the Six teenth district, the rumored candidacy of Mr. James L. Keen for Treasurer, and of Mr. Milton S. Jones for repre sentative. It is claimed tliat none of these gen tlemen have voted in a Democratic pri mary since 1892. Twelve years ago Mr. Keen was the Populist seneator from the Sixteenth district and daring 1804-1899 Mr. Baggett was the Populist represen tative from Laurens. It is a certainty that Mr. Baggett will run for the office of senator, but it is not known definitely that the oth er gentlemen will be candidates. There three straight Democrats in the for senator and it is freely pre dicted that Mr. Baggett will receive a plurality of the votes cast in the pri mary. There are seven old line dem ocrats in the race for county treasurer and th.ee for representative. Just why the gentlemen named have marri- d at DeSoto hotel.

For some time there has been a a strenuous effort to induce for mer Popu ist to return to the party as an eleinent in the gubornatioual cam paign. The men named above as probable candidates for office are honorable, up right, intelligent men. The only thing connected with their candidacy which causes surprise and comment is the suddenness of their announcement. in the pentten- j the bite was harmless, aud that he could return home at once, which he will do.

The Georgia Southern and Florida train from Macon did not reach the city until ten o’clocK this morning, about five hours late. The trouble Is said to have been with the con nections at Macon, as the train diJ not leave that city until about five o’clock, the hour at which it ought to have arrived here. How easy the solution of all these public question would be If the sen ate was composed of magazine writ ers instead of lawyers.
