Editor Stovall says Clark How
ell was right in not trying to an
swer Tom Watson according to his
folly. His reply at Fairburn was
dignified and yet vigorous.
in the contest of Busthead
against Bankhead in Alabama,
bluster beat brains easily and the
little braying ass succeeds the
steady old democratic warhorse in
Congress.
Representative Brownlow, who
introduced the bill to provide for
federal care of Andrew Johnson’s
grave, is a nephew of “Parson”
Brownlow, who described Johnson
as “the dead dog in the White
House.”
Macon gets the convention, and
the next question is what will she
do with it? The Fort Valley Leader
thinks that the delegates should
hire automobiles and go out to
Fort Valley to spend the night.
Why not hold the convention in
the peach orchards at once.
A man who is ashamed to be
called an “organized Democrat”
has no business to take part in
an “organized” Democratic pri
mary. On the same principle that
a Methodist would have no busi
ness or right to take part in a Bap
tist conference and try to elect its
oHicers.
S. T. Harrisons Co., of Lexing
ton, Ky., sold two show horses,
Eckersall and Tattersall, for $5,-
000 to T. L. Temple, of Texarka
na, Ark., who, it is said, will pre
sent them to Mrs. Mary Baker Ed
dy, of Concord, X. H., in recogni
tion of. her services in the cause of
Christian Science.
The Macon Evening News is evi
dently fearful that the hotels and
boarding houses are going to play
a “holdup game” royal on those
attending the State Convention, for
in a double column single leaded
editorial the Xews protests against
any such skin game. Surely there
must be something in the scare
manifested,
Mayor Dunne of Chicago has ap
pointed F. J. Schwindeler, of that
city, as oflicial “mine of informa
tion.” This is an odd municipal
position, and Air. Schwindeler is
expected to be prepared to an
swer all questions put by citizens,
from the price of a dog license to
the date of the installation of mu
nicipal street cars.
BUSY FIGHTING THE RAILWAYS
The Athens Banner observes
that Monroe county, the home of
Hon. R. L. Berner, the law parig
ner of Hoke Smith, has disap
proved of the action of the demo
cratic executive committee. But
the Banner need attach little blame
to the Hon. R. L.Berner for this'
revolt against democracy upon the
part of some of his fellow citizens
of Monroe. As the law partner of
Hoke Smith he is busily engaged, j
the Times Recorder is informed, in
preparing damage suits against
railroads, his firm, it is said, hav
ing more than one hundred such
eases on hand already. And dol
lars dominate such democracy as
theirs.

THAT LITTLE POPULIST MEETING
The Atlanta Journal’s little Pop
ulist meeting in Atlanta on Tues
day, presided over by Populis t
Hines, was absurd enough to ex
cite a horse laugh.
Editor Henning, of Augusta, de
clined to take part in the meeting
and properly characterized it “a
piece of politics for the benefit of
one man in the race for governor,”
meaning Hoke Smith. Hines made
this clear when he intimated in an
interview that they had resolved
to support Hoke Smith and called
it “a bugle blast’’ for “white su
premacy,” and against “the ring
sters and the mercenaries.”
Strange Mr. Hines did not think
of “white supremacy” in the hey
day of populism ten to twenty
years ago when the negioes were
really in politics in Georgia. It is
a late day to sound the slogan now
—once ridiculed by Watson and
himself—now when the negroes
nave almost entirely disappeared
from our polling places! It is “a
piece of politics” that is too thin
to fool anybody with ey s half
open.
Tt is simply an effort of a few
defunct and discredited “leaders”
socalled, to throw the Populist
vote to Hoke Smith; but men like
Editor J. R. Miller, of Statesboro,
and Editor W. J. Henning, of Au
gusta, former Populists, cannot be
led or driven by them.
This action will be heralded to
the Populists as official, and if it is
official, it is tantamount to a nom
ination of Hoke Smith by these
Populist party officials.
It is fine sarcasm, this denuncia
tion by them of the Democratic
yard-stick—sarcasm drawn too
fine —when these very people used
to wield a threatening “yardstick”
themselves over Democrats.
The Hines-Journal meeting sim
ply adds to the gayety of this gay
campaign.
But the Democrats will have
their turn.—Macon Telegraph.
AUGUSTA HERALD’S NEW MOTTO
The Augusta Herald, which
started out some months ago as a
vigorous advocate of Hoke Smith
and all kinds of reform, alter the
result of the recent primary in
Richmond county has drooped
down to this:
“Under the cry of reform when
deftly propagated to devious
purposes a brood of self-seekers
has been generated, worse, if
possible, than the miscreants
whose doings they condemn. The
professional reformer is, as a rule,
a professional humbug. He simply
avails himself of a cry. He is on
the look-out for a shibboleth and
he finds one readily adaptable. It
was this species of reformer and
his aims which evoked the thrill
ing declaration from Asa Bird
Gardner ‘To Hell with Reform.’ ”
EXCELLENT KIND OF RELIGION
The Times-liecorder agrees with
the Marietta Journal in its advoca
cy of the following variety of old
time religion.
Debt.paying is a very important
thing and fixes the status of a man
iu* the community as no other
thing can. If you claim to be a
Christian and dc n’t pay your debts
your Christianity is looked upon
as a pretense and a sham; if you
claim to be honest and don’t pay
your debts, your honesty rests un
der the shadow of doubt; if you
promise to pay and then make no
efforts to keep your promise, your
veracity is placed at a discount.
Ray your debts if you want the
confidence of the public; its capi
tal that will help you succeed, oth
erwise you are handicapped and
left to flounder and be retarded.

THE POPULISTS IN THE SADDLE
By their action at the meeting
of Populist party leaders held in
the office of Judge J. K. Hines in
Atlanta, these Populists have
practically convicted themselves
and Candidate Hoke Smith of hav
ing had an understanding of some
sort by which the Populists of the
state, numbering something over
23,000, were expected to form a
balance of power and deliyer over
the Democratic nomination for
governor to Mr. Smith—and that,
too, without the formality of re
nouncing their allegiance to the
Populist party. The Populists,
for their own part, evidently re
garded Mr. Smith as having en
tered upon a fight against the or
ganized Democracy—“ The Ring,”
he and they call it—and they
thought they saw an opportunity
to do something they had been try
ing to do for years, break up the
Democratic party organization.
Subsequent developments have
demonstrated most conclusively
that the Democratic Executive
Committee tightened the party
line none too soon.—Albany Her*
aid.
The new Presbyterian “Book of
Common Worship” leaves “obey”
out of the marriage service. It
never did amount to anything, ex
cept to furnish a theme for those
who like to have something to
argue about.

Duty stands for the most part close
at hand, unobscured, simple, immedi
ate. If any man has the will to hear
her voice, to him is she willing to en
ter and to be his ready guest.—Francis

Discuss Boundary Dispute.
Constantinople, Nlayl 9.—An official
of the office Wednesday had a long in
terview with the British ambassador
in connection with the Egyptian boun
dary dispute, but up to the present
time there is no indication of
course the Porte will decide to pur
sue. The general opinion, is, how
ever, that the Turkish troops will
evacuate. Tabah before the British ul

Anarchists Are Arrested.
London, May 9. —A dispatch to the
Central News from Berlin says that
five anarchists charged with high trea

near Metz. The men had explosives
in their possession, and a quantity of
dynamite when found near the impe
rial palace, where Emperor William is
expected to arrive tomorrow.

Mercury a id potash are very deceptive treatments and the blood poison
sufferer who dpe ids on them for a cure is sure to be disappointed. These
minerals will i amove the external symptoms and shut the disease up in the

symptoms of sore mouth and throat, copper-colored spots, falling hair, sores
and ulcers etc , will be accompanied by the disastrous effects of the
treatment. The continued use of these strong minerals will completely ruin
the health and weaken the system to such an extent that the original
disease often becomes incurable and sometimes fatal. Mercury
