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.

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. cause?

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.
