HOLT & CATES
(ieorgia Republicans will not
place a State ticket in tile field this
year. The Republican State Exec
utive Committee held a meeting
in Atlanta last Tuesday and asked
Col. Robert .1. Lowery to liecome a
candidate for the governorship.
Col. liowery took a long, lingering
look at the record of Mr. liokc
Smith's August 22nd performance,
I and declined the honor of Iwoom-
ing a sacrifice on liis party's altar.
THE PASSING OF THE POPULISTS
The time lias arrived for the
final disbanding of the Georgia
Populist party. The party’s most
uncompromising leaders at last
recognize and admit this fact. Wit
ness tiie attempt to hold the con
vention in Atlanta last Tuesday, at
which time and place nine dele
gates assembled for the purpose.
After viewing the situation and
the assembled throng, Chairman
.1. J. Holloway declared the con
vention off without even the for
mality of calling it to order.
The Populist party has not been
a factor in State politics for a num
ber of years and its members have
been gradually returning to the
Democratic fold. It was known
before the recent primary that
only a remnant of the Populists
persisted iu remaining away from
the Democratic party and it now
appears that even that remnant is
hack iu the old party and back to
Grantville.
TIip fall session of the Grantville Dis- ,
trict School will open Monday, Sept.
!ird, with the following excellent corps
of teachers: Prof. McElroy, Principal.
Misses Edna White and Bessie Lnckie
will have charge of the intermediate and
junior departments. Let all parents ex
ert themselves to edneate their children
The future welfare of the hoys and girls
as well as the republic, depends u|K>u it.
And now that the Legislature has done
a noble act in passing the child labor
bill, we trust every little hand that lias
held the thread or shuttle, will now
grasp the school hook and every young
brain that has worried over the intri
cacies of machinery, will now find com
fort poring over the pages of knowledge.
Mrs. .T. D. Moreland has been elected

remain.
Thus pHHseth the Populist party
iu Georgia. A dozen or so ir-
reroncilables may hold out aud
continue to call themselves Popu
lists, but the party in this State is
no longer a party : it is but a mem
ory of the past and it is not prob
able that will ever again become a
factor in State politics. The for
mer Populists are Democrats
|again; they have returned to the
party in good faith and will abide
in the house of their fathers.
As a Democratic newspaper, The
News rejoices in the homo-coining
of the remnant of the once power
ful Georgia Populist party and
welcomes each and everyone of our
follow Georgians who has returned
to the Democratic party. Let us
have one white political party in
this State—that tile Democratic
party of .Ictfcrson, Jackson and
tiie host of I >einocratic statesmen
of the old school who founded the
party upon the bedrock of equal
rights to all and special privileges
to none. In such a party every
[true white man in Georgia may
lind a place and all whose honest
| convictions (lo not lead them else-
I where will receive a hearty wel
come.

A Stopped
Watch
Doesn’t cause as much wor
ry as one that runs either
too fast or too slow, in an
erratic fashion. The first
you never depend upon—the
other kind is a source of con
stant annoyance. Nowadays
most people can and do own
a watch, but no person can
afford to own an uncertain
watch; and with my repair
department at your service,
there is no excuse for carry
ing anything but u properly
regulated and accurate
watch. I am always ready
to remedy your watch troub
les. Consult me when your
timepiece goes wrong.
