A largo crowd was pi* sent, drawn apparent ly hy cu-| n*>Mty, though a number of Gov ernor Smith's supporters in the .lone primary applauded the speak- j er liberally. A consideraße portion of Car- 1 tei - speech was devoted to an ar raignment of Tom Watson and the deal which he alleged had 1" n made Between Joseph M. Brown's followers and Watson to. d' liver the elect oral vote of Geor- i giu to Watson. He attempted to! justify a bolt from tho Juno pri- i maty But it was a lamentably w tk effort, charging that Mr. Brown'* election was not fairly secured. 1 inner Lecturer Davis of the I- armers' Union accompanied Cap-1 t:i n Carter and preceded the f«>r ni*T with :i short speech.

Taft's “whirlwind tour” is so t|iii'*t in its results tha* his god lather in the White House is not content with filling several news paper columns a day but longs to l ush forth Inins- It and stir things up, Indeed, it is said the Presi d< 11 1 i> about to yield t<» “strong pressure and go out on a whirl wind tour of Ins own. Having al n.idy Bung dignity to the winds, there would seem to he no good I'-ason why ho should not now take the stump in person and stoop to all the methods of the. ward politician who never hesi tatos to consign those who disagree w it It him to the place prepared for the brother* of Ananias.— Macon Telegraph.

The Tnerclmnt who won’t patronize his home printer when he can have j his work done 11s cheap and as well! there as elsewhere—well, he is a] mighty poor citizen—and it is gratifying to know that there are so few of his kind. Telfair Enterprise:—Editor Sea !y of the Georgian came out in a strong article in last Saturday’s paper m w hich he stated that the j charge was false that he hud sent a detective to the home of Repre sentative John Holder to spy out his past record. He snid ho sent 11 reporter of the paper t" look up some court records. In liiis state ment he said if the papers that published the charge did not give his version of it he would proceed against them by law. His article was u sane and sensible one and hud all the ear marks of sincerity. ! Atlanta Georgian:—And what does the country think of the des perate methods that would stoop to desecrate the memory cf a dead president? With the exposure of j the so-called Cleveland letter, fa vorable to Taft, ns a fake pure and simple, what does the coun try, irrespective of party iitliliu-i tions, think ot methods that sill-; lied the name of u man no longer! hero to defend Ins name? Savannah News: —The South African diamond mines are to be Kturted up on full time*today. They have been working on short time for many months. Improved finnneinl conditions in Europeand j America are given as the reason ; for the production of more dia monds. That would seem to in dicate th" passing of hard t imes. |The diamond market responds promptly when money becomes| more plentiful. The Atlanta Journal: —Atlanta must he prepared to entertain the 'Confederate veterans as they de serve and to that end a substanti al entertainment fund must be raised without delay. Fitzgerald Enterprise :—The I drunkenness and debauchery of the women and men who have in herited the Gould and Namier- I hilt millions should he an object j * . lesson to an intelligent people. Among the greatest heniiicuries of these large estates are the divorce court lawyers. Mayoress Herald :—Governor' Smith Inis informed chairman man Hall that the democratic! put v of Georgia should abandon j the white primary and go back to! the democratic primary system. In view of the fact that Mr. Smith is the daddy of the white primary, this statement from him w ill come as « surprise. Wad ley Star :—Really,who is run ning for President on the Repub lican ticket? Wo heard that Tuft was the nominee, but Roosevelt seems to he doing the running. , It doesn’t S'vin that either is run ning fast enough to get there with both feet. Macon Telegraph :—The United States und our own mother coun try are getting together again. Two cents postage will now carry a letter to England the same as to any point in this country. 1 Nashville Herald:—A hugolog ist at Dublin, tin,, who has been t figuring ou tho schedule of the I boll wevil says that bug is coming . .eastward at the rate of half a ‘hundred mi lea a year. TDK MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, Ot T. 8. Bhw. REPUBLICANS FINANCE WATSON. Under the above head line tlm Macon Telegraph a few days ago said : “Former Senator S. R.Pettigrew publicly announced in South Da kota that in Hsi-1 lie hud been of fered SIO,OOO for ten speeches- in behalf of Thomas E. Watson, the Populist candidate*, by a Republi can Senator friend acting for ami in Behalf of the Republican Na tional Committee. Senator Pet tigrew also said that while declin ing the offer he “conducted an in j vestigat ion with the result that tie* Republican party financed m a large manner Mr. Watson's cum paign.” In reply to this, after some pn*- ! liminary digs at Pettigrew und Bryan, Mr. Watson says: “Whether Roosevelt managers gave financial aid to those who | managed the Populist campaign, I neither know nor care. Every body who knows u thing about it is well aware of the fact that the campaign funds of both lie* "id parties come from practically the j same source." Conceding the last sentence of the above to be true, for argu ment’s sake, the Democratic par ty at, least had its own financial organization in 1904, and used its | own money wilh a sincere view to i defeat mg the opposition party or parties. It is net. amenable to the charge of conducting a cam paign w ith the secret financial as sistance of an alleged opposition party and presumably with a view to assisting that opposition party to defeat another opposition par ty. Mr. Watson did not expect to ho elected President 111 1904 any more than he expects to b<* elected President in 1908. The only possible appreciable result I his race could have on tho elect ion i would be to weaken the Demo cratic party in the interest of the Republican party. Mr. Watson ; does not directly deny Senutor ! Pettigrew’s direct statement of fact.' “Whether thi* - Roosevelt managers gave financial aid to those who managed the Populist campaign, I neither know nor care,” he says. Tins is not a de nial, such as his friends would doubtless wish to see. The disclosure will have a dam aging effect on Mr. Watson’s po litical ambitions unless lie can make before his friends a better j show mg t han t h is.'' If seems from the above that Editor Pendleton is keeping an eagle eye on the Populist leader now-a-days. In our opinion there are more than one party being run in the interest of Mr. Taft’s j elect ion. Runaway Colored Boy. Titos.
