“VERY REPUGNANT!*'
Starting out with an editorial com
mending ibe malevolent course of the
Allan** Journal toward tae Democrat
ic nominee for Governor, and, like >be
Journal, profeaiti&f external allegiance
to the party organization, the Augusta
Herald begins by saying: “There is
no denying the fact that the idea of
Hon. Josep/; M. Bown becoming Gov-
d-mor of Georgia 1* Ter> repugnanat
to a large number of votert!”
If the Herald said that “a large mi
nority preferred and voted in the pr.-
mary for anther than the preaent
nonijne#” It would have stated a fact
well known, but it would have been the
work of supererrogaUon It could
have also rail with troth that a very
decided majorUy of 210.009 who voted
in tje primary voted for Jo/eph M
Brown- But that U also t well known
fact
Why ibtn did the Herald say “the
Idea of Hon. Joseph M. Brown becom
log Governor of Georgia is very »*•
pugnant to a large number of voters?''
Because it wanted to Incite those that
.oted for Hoke Smith to do what It
ha* not the courage to Jo—bolt!
Way ie Joe Brown "very repug
nant ?** Ha* he not been a consistent
Democrat from his youth up? Ha*
be not been honest and straight In hit
dealing* with hi* fellow-men? Has
he not always been a sober man anJ
a Christian gentleman? Has be not
demonstrated that be Is a man of no
ability—a man that wa* able to
conduct the cleanest campaign that
this Bute has known ln our latter
days, anJ was able to defat fairly
great Hoke Smith without taking
stump, and with a campaign
i>endtture in money less than half that
used by his opponent?
He is “ very repugnant” only to a
w horeheads, and that repugnance
Is produced solely by the distress of a
disappointment caused by the dashing
he ground of hopes which yearned
for the feed trough in the case of the
*uccess of another. The great mass
f tnese who voted for Hoke Smith
111 cheerfully vote for the Democratic
nominee.
Of course these marplots, these mal-
ontenta—the Journal and the Herald
'know that they cannot Jefeat Joe
Brown, but their purpose is to give
ey Carter, the bolter, such all
and comfort as may help to roll up a
good vote for him whlca they will af
terwards point to with an “I-told-you-
prlde. and cite the vote as a pro-1
test made in spite of them.
Meanwhile let every true Democra
make hU arrangements so that he cat.
go to the polls and vote on election
day for the nomluees of toe party.—

If the effort succeeds .and Mr. Tapp

creed was written for the first time

follows;

7CCN REFUSES
TO DE INTERVIEWED.
Quitman Free Press.
Hon. Thomas E. Watson, nominee
of the Populist Party for president
of tVi* United States, arrived ln town
yesterday afternoon on the 3:24 train.
A Free Press reporter ever on the
lookout for news, decided that he
would do something that no other re
porter has done lately, that Is vet an
Interview from the only presidential
candidate that ever visited Quitman.
M. Watson was seen at tho Hotel
Marie and was very courteous and ap
parently glad to meet the reporter.
But when It came to being interviewed
he declined, saying that It was against
his rules.
All the methods known to a country
newspaper man were put forth in an
effort to get Mr. Watson to give some
expression on any subject, but without
success. It is probable that Mr. Wat
son, D like some of the Quitman mer-
chant*, unable to appreciate tae value
of having his views aired through the
medium of the Free Press.
He. however, extended a very cordial
invitation to be present ani hear his
speech and intimated that most any
could form a definite opinion of his
position on atate and national affairs
after hearing it.

BRANTLEY FOR GOVERNOR.
In diacuaaing the suggestion that
Hon. Wm. G. Brantley would make a
most excellent Governor the Rome-
Tribune Herald saya:
'Brantley ia a man of brain. He
ia the biggest man on the Georgia del
egation, a thlniaer and a planner, a
man who has highly developed the ad
minlstrative faculty. He makes a
speech that la full of meat and logic.
He ia able to see both sides ot a puea-
tion. M
Mr. Brantley la not only De ablest
member of the Georgia delegation, but
the ablest man from the south sad the
peer of any member of Congress from
anywhere.
There is not a man in the lower
house whose opinion is more sought
after and more legally followed. Ask
any congressman from any state re
publican or democrat, and he will tell
you that the Eleventh district la moat
ably represented.—Dublin Courler-Dls-
Perhaps it was one of these “Dix-
le*’-loving girls who recently shocked
an elderly Philadelphian by seriously
enquiring whether Grant fought on
the Northern or the Southern side ln
the war of 1S61-5. The North is full
of foreigners and the children of for
eigners who know little and care less
about the past history of the United
States, and even the young people of
old. American stock show an Indiffer
ence to the Issues of the war that
sometimes fill their elders with horror.
A young New Yorker of intelligence,
discussing the race question with
another man of bis own section a
short time ago, declared that the con-
Ictlon is growing that “the South was
right about the matter." and he added:
"If we had It to do over again there
wouldn’t be no war.”
After a few years more the young
North and De young South will fill
th? stag*, and then the war and Its
r, except as history, will be com-
rly forgotten. Then De negroes
no longer rely on the sentiment
het lingers wlD boD the old slave
^wncrz In the South and De Abolition-
1st element In the north, a sentiment
;hat is dissimilar, but kindly in boD
rarea. They can Den rely only on their
red cfficl ncy and good citizenship,
and may look for no special consider
ation or tolerance as a class.
Nothing la stationary in Dls changing
world. Old condition* pasa and new
ones succeed. The verses we have
houted would have been wildly impos
sible ln De seventies or even In De
eighties, but they are fit expressions
in 1908.
