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 SENATOR JUtY 26 Order Has Been Issued By the Ordinaries. Schley County May Put Up Man- Without Holding Primary. On Tuesday.

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 Senator Murray's successor to At lanta with his credentials In his pocket. Whether Schley 1 will have a 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. but that is all. The day alter sml ' 1 | 1)ly by general concensus of opinion announced that he would run again lt3 ( avor i te sons have the over politics this year.

To begin with Gov. Brown has given quite general satisfaction. Then the people of .Georgia have been pro governor, prepared the following ad vertisement for the election: Election Notice.

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. : “CANADIAN CLUB” WHISKY (Distilled end Bottled In Bond by Hiram Welker te Son), Limital) wa9 awarded a medal by the United States Government at the World’s Fair, 1893, f or “fine aroma, very pleasant taste, thorough maturity, purity and ■ absence of alien matter.” That is to say, it wqs found to possess every excellence it is possible for Whisky to have.
