Hon. Thomas E. Watson, tbe reoog-
nlsad Third Party leader in Georgia,
opened what ha deolared to be a ninety
days’ campaign at Douglasavllle, on
last Tuesday. Ha was met by a large
orowd, mostly Third Party people,
and li reported to hare awakened con
siderable enthusiasm.
Just what the purpose of this cam
paign of Hr. Watson’s is was not dis
closed In his opening address. He
went to tbe oounty where Third
Partylsm - Is conoeded to be strongest
In the State, and tbe oooaslon seems to
have been a sort of Third Party
Fourth of July rally.
It Is to be regretted that Mr. Wat
son has seen fit to fan tbe fast dying
embers of Third Partylsm and the
Ooala platform olap-trap in Georgia.
We had hoped that even Mr. Watson
himself had dlsoovered that there Is no
room for another political party in
this State under present conditions,
and that tbe mistaken effort that was
made to divide the people last year
would not be renewed. Tbe condl
tlons for the sucoessful Inauguration
of a new party movement are less fa<
vorable now than they were a year
ago, or two years ago, and Mr. Watson
and those who are training with him
will be disappointed If they are basing
their calculations on alienating any
considerable number of respectable
Georgia Democrats from the party,
this year or next,
Mr. Watson has given notice that
hie meetings are to be “strictly Peo
ple’s Party rallies,” and he also wants
it to be distinctly understood that be
does not propose to enter Into debates
with any ohe. In this oonnection the
People’s Party Paper publishes a long
list of Mr. Watson’s appointments,
and twelve of these are In the Second
Congressional dlstrlot.

From tho Augusta Herald.,
There never was a time when one’s
dollar would go so far as it will to
day. If you have money to Invest
now is the. time to Invest it. You can
get better bargains In dry goods, in
shoes, In real estate, in stock, In every,
thing purobasable, now than ynu oould
at any time In the past twenty
years.
It is the shrewd men that turn their
money loose when times are hard; it
1s the shrewd men that take advan
tage of the depressed oondition of af
fairs.
Bead the papers and see the many
bargains that are offered in every line.
When you see the money oentrles
tying up the wealth of the country it
Is then that you should make your
dollar bring ynu most.
You oan buy stook (faotory and
bank) and real estate cheaper than
their real valur, less than par.
If you have bank stook, faotory stook
or real estate stook, and the business in
whioh they are invested Is managed
by good, judiolous men, 1* would be
well to hold them. It others are
foroed to sell beoause they mutt real
ise upon them, you would do well to
buy.
We oannot see why people should
hold their wealth when auoh an op
portunity as the present presents it
self.
Take the Herald’s advioe. Invest
what money ynu oan spare now. Do
not wait until it is too late to get the
splendid values that are offered in
every line these bard times.
GOING ABROAD.
The fashion of “going abroad” in
summer is a growing one with well-
to-do Amerloans. Ours is a great
country and a fine oountry to live in,
but the anxiety to get out of it in the
summer has become an imperative
passion with many. The proof is fur
nished in the overorowded steamers
bound for European ports. Not the
fear of plague, on tbe one hand, nor
the induoement afforded in the won
ders and delights of the Chicago Ex
position, on tbe other, can stay the
mad rush for foreign shores.
There Is great rejoloing in Ken
tucky. The people are preparing for
a grand jolllfloation—torch lights, fire
works, cannon firing—in fact the
whole State is In a state of glorious
gladness. The legislature has ad
journed after 531 long, tiresome days
of—doing nothing. It was probably
the longest session ever held by a leg
islative body in thla country.
The Elberton Star isn’t far from be
ing correct when it says that “nothing
kills a man or woman, socially, so
quiokly and decisively as ostracism.
Nothing kills a politician so eternally
as non recognition. The Star does
not propose to heap anathemas on Mr.
Watson or his followers, but from the
present outlook it would seem as if he
were rushing into the political arena
to stir up strife, for that is about all
be will do. The Star would make this
suggestion to the press of the State of
Georgia: Do not report one word of
hla speeohes, or if any paper does so,
do not use the scissors on it. Let him
declaim at leng’hto bis hearers and
by degrees his audience will gradually
growless and die of inattention. Let
the press firmly refuse to print for
money bis places of meetings, or notice

Yesterday, Officer Baley made a case

and it is to be hoped that this will
prove a precedent for a new start on a
orusade against this class of criminals,

President Cleveland appointed
seven Louisianians to important
federal officers in one day. This ao,
tion on the part of tbe President is
very palpably explained by the Louis,
lana gentlemen, who olalra that It was
due to the fact that they “got together”
and told the President what they
wanted and did not have any bicker
ings. The Georgia office-hunters
could learn a lesson from the proced
ure of those Louisianians. They
would get a great deal more and at an
early day at that if they would only
let up on that recalcitrant tendency
that has oharaoterized them all along.
The Bev. Dr. J. B. Hawthorne, of
Atlanta, who came out seaond best in
a controversy with Mrs. Dr. Felton,
not long ago, has drawn the fire of an
other smart woman. In his sermon
on last Sunday he took oooaslon to
make some disparaging remarks about
tbe Christian Scientists. His sermon
was published In Monday’s Constitu
tion. Mrs. Livingston Mims, conoeded
to be one of the most brilliant women
of Atlanta, is a Christian Scientist,
and when she read the reverend
Hawthorne’s “soornful words of
Christian Soienoe and its Inspired
author," she at onoe indited a oard.
The card was printed In yesterday’s
Constitution, and is one whioh Dr.
Hawthorne oannot very well Ignore,
although he promised his congrega
tion, after his bout with Mrs. Felder,
never to engage in another contro
versy with a woman.

Twa Railroad Negroes Fight.
From Thursday's Evening Hehald*
Officer Mooney arrested Ike Strin
ger, colored, at the depot this morn
ing while the gay Ike was wrapped in
slumbers in a cab freight oar.
It seems that Ike had a fight
last night with another Negro
named James Kennedy, in which the
latter came out second best.
This morning Kennedy went to of
ficer Mooney and made a case against
Stringer, claiming that he had mur
derously assaulted him.
The arrest was promptly made and
unless Stringer pleads gqilty, and
pays a fine, he will have to dance at
tendance upon the Mayor’s court next
Wednesday.
