J. J. Brown was at Macon and told a rep
resentative of this paper that he loved every
soul in Douglas, that he was coming down and
explain it all, and hoped that the people of Cof
fee would be his friend, as he was theirs. J.
J. loves everybody now-a-days, which is quite
natural. Had he been defeated, no such word
would ever have been sent to our people.

There has been some talk of an independent
ticket being put out in Coffee for the November
election, to cover all the offices that will be nam
ed at that time. Now such talk is rot. If the
independent wants to stay in Coffee county poli
tics, he had better stay out of this. The day
for independentism, or, bolting the primary, is
a thing of the past in Georgia, and should be,
and the man or set of men who will take up
such methods, should be disfranchised from
ever participating in any future Coffee county
primary.

THE STATE CON VENTION.
One of the most notable gatherings in a
decade was the state convention held in Macon
on last Tuesday. It was exactly the opposite
of what the mischief-makers and malcontents
wanted and have been clamoring tor lor several
weeks.
Everything proved to be a love least.
There were no bombs, and it was impossible to
discover any factionalism or strife of any kind
among the various delegations. The politician
was conspicuous for his absence. In the elect
ion of the Judges of the Court of Appeals, no
factionalism developed, no bitterness resulted,
and also when there appeared to be some divi
sion among the Dorsey ranks on the election of
a candidate to succeed the late Justice Lump
kin, the parties interested, rather than have
any disention, withdrew from any contest, and
the convention passed the matter up for the
people. If this wasn’t democratic, then no con
vention ever practiced a democratic principle.
It was so unlike the convention of two
years ago. No steam-roller was in evidence in
Macon this week. Everything was one way, the
people who gathered there were of the same
mind and kind, but were most respectful of
the opposing faction in Georgia, a thing un
known to the convention of two years ago.
The convention just ended could not hvae
been otherwise, for the manipulator was not
there to tear up and tear down. If all conven
tions could be held in Georgia like this one
was held, there would be less strife and faction
alism, and the state would enjoy greater peace
and prosperity. At this meeting every mem
ber present was allowed to express his own in
dividual views on any subject, and he was not
howled down. There were no stacked cards
and the liberty of free expression was given
every one.
It was an epoch-making event, and the
convention will go down in history as an ideal
gathering, a pattern that might be used in any
state, and a gathering whose conduct is worthy
of imitation anywhere and at anytime.
O
The malcontents failed to have their am
bitions realized at the Macon convention.

It was a Dorsey convention—a veritable
love-feast, no friction or strife of any kind,
and all of this displeases the mischief-makers
in Georgia, particularly the Macon Telegraph,
Augusta Chronicle and the Atlanta Journal.
