WATSON'S PUEIULE METHODS IN'
TWO CASES,
One of the most remarkable features
of the present state campaign Is the
comparative apathy of the general
public. Even the drummers, generally
the loudest talkers on political lines,
are going along quietly about their
business, seeking orders, cdllecting
nuney and apparently unconcerned
as to whether Hoke or Joe gets elect
ed.
The difference between now and two
years ago Is forcefully impressed on
any one who did much railroad
traveling two years ago and is also on

The election on July 26th will
ensue. It wa s a relief when one
reached his destination and got on, I ]ai . election that will carry
of an atmosphere charged wi’.i r.oth-| _ „ »».
ing but political electricity.
But today It is entirely different, A
casual reference to politics is hea-d
but that is all. The day after Smith

primary election prior to then, or sim-
Tom Watson is not looming up very
brilliantly since Ms “return to the
Democratic party.” In fact his con.
duct in two especial instances has
been such as to call for nothing but
condemnation.
Take the cose of Congressman Ed
wards, for Instance. Watson charged
him with immorality 1n his office
the ca: itol at Washington, alleged that
he hail used his influence U3 congress
man for the purpose of leading t
woman astray, and that he had been
found in his office with a woman sit
ting in l.'is lap. He'dared Edwards to
deny these charges.
Edwards promptly and emphatically
denounced Watson as a liar and de
nied the charges Ip toto.
What did Watson do then. Did ho
•publish the alleged evidence that be
had claimed to have.
No. The evidence seems to have
dissipated Into thin air. When public
ly denounced as a vllllfler and liar
Watson set up the puerile cry, "Come
back to Georgia, Edwards, and I'll have
you arrested.”
Andjiow comes the Barron Instance.
Some one in Atlanta, with about ns
much moral and physical courage ap
parently as a chicken, writes a letter
to Watson telling him that Barron, In
his position as keeper of public prop
erty, was guilty of grafting in the re
furnishing of tkie capltol. t ,
Forthwith Watson rushes off letters
to the governor and the speaker of the
house'and president of the senate, en
dorsing the charge against Barron.
The speaker of the house promptly
laid the matter before that body,
was his duty. Watson was called on
to furnish the name of thte accuser.
That was several days ago. He
fuses to furnish the name but now
says lie will send In live names of
witnesses and one of them will be the
accuser. At the same time he de
nounces tbe speaker fur giving his let
ter to the house.
In this Instance, as in the Edwards
case, Watson acts like a child. • His
“Come back to Georgia and I’ll have
you arrested” was no more puerile
than this refusal to furnish the name
of a man who had charged a public of
ficial with graft, and whose charges
W’ats.n, knowing nothing at all him
self, purely out of personal venom It
see As, had endorsed, and his further
charge that Speaker Holden bad done
him a wrong in giving out his letter.
- Watson has still failed to give out
his alleged evidence against Edwards
and It is quite probaltie that his evl
deuce in the Barron case will be just
as futile as in that of tbe congressman
from the first.
We are not smitten with Edwards
and we know nothing of Barron, but
Watson's course in these two cases is
enough to satisfy any fair minded man
that no attention jshould be paid to his
wild charges against every man in tbe
Democratic party who refuses to fol
low the behests of the. old Populist
leader. As for the accuser In the
Barron case he has shown his true
character by hiding behind Watson's
coat tall and refusing to allow his
name to be divulged.

SCENE A BUSY ONE
Largest Peach Orchard in
the World.
Two miles out of Amerlcus Is the
largest peach orchard in all the
world—a distinction of which we may
be proud—and Just at this tinfe there
Is no busier place In Georgia than the
great lacking house of the Bagley-
Ray-Gober Co,, where the fruit of
250,000 trees is being packed for ship
ment.
It Is a scene well worth witnessing,
and many people go out daily from the
city to watch the gathering of the lus
cious fruit and loading the refrigera
tor cars.
Two hundred and fifty . thousand
trees In one vast area and all bend
lng beneath a harvest of red ana
go.den fruit.
No section of Georgia, or of the
world for that matter, rivals Arneri-
cus as a fruit producing and shipping
centre, as In recent years it has sur
passed the once-famed MarshallviUe
and Fort Valley sections, as well as
that of North Georgia.
•And largest of all the orchards here
Is the vast Bagley-Ray-Gober
chard of three thousand acres.
Here one,patches a glimpse of mag
nificent vistas of waving trees, set in
straight rows two miles In length, and
every tree, without an exception, bend
lug beneath a weight of luscious ripe
fruit.
It is indeed a privilege to look upon
such' a splendid orchard as this one
and others here.
For two weeks th<* company has
been busily engaged shipping peaches
of the first varieties and latterly the
Carmens, one of the choice varieties.
But the Carmens will soon be gone,
only to be replaced by an even
choicer variety, the Hiley Belles, this
week just in their luscious prime.
Out In the orchards yesterday 110
laborers with fruit wagons picked the
Hiley Belles carefully from the bend
Ing trees and carried them to the great
packing shed to be crated and put
aboard cars on the sidetracks.
Beneath the shed another hundred
employes carefully assorted the firm
ripe peaches and placed them In the
open crates.
Judge George F. Gober, Mr. H.
Bagley, Mr. N. A. Ray, owner* of this
princely domain, were Interested spe
tators there yesterday and watched
-the process of packing the fruit and
loading of several Iced cars in wait
ing in the company’s yards.
Supt. C. S. Verdery and Mr. R. L
Scott, of tbe orchard company, an
also the busiest of men at this the
helghth of the shipping geason, and
view with pardonable pride the mag
nificent crop they watched to maturity
With the shipment of the Hiley
Belles this week the next crops, , the
Georgia Belles and Elbertas, will have
their Inning. And this will be tbe
greatest of all, for one hundred thous
ami Elberta trees are almost breaking
down beneath the weight of the finest
crop they have ever produced.
Messrs. Bagley, Ray and Gober are
well pleased with results thus far and
will doubtless realize handsomely tip
on their orchard this year, as proba
bly 100,to 123 car loads of peaches
will be harvested there.

Thi!s election Is not to be determin

turned to the old county system, if
