him to pick on we would quit the

Charlie Brown, of the Cordele Dis
patch, proceeds to take the hide off
of Jim Boykin because of his display
of grouch because Walter George did
not devote his acseptance speech to
lauding Tom Wats&n and Mrs. Lytle.
Charlie don’t you know that Jim has
an idea that any man who does not
think Watson was divine is guilty of
blasphemy, and you ought to over
look hia little outbreak. Jim’s fear
of the terrible Wilsonites taking over
the party in Georgia is going to be
realized, and he knows it. The time
is fast getting at hand when Wilson
will once more come into his own,
and his efforts to do instead of to des
troy will be recognized by the Demo
crats of Georgia, and Jim’s fears are
pretty well taken..
