CHAIRMAN J. J. HOLLOWAY
STATES HIS POSITION
Answers Criticisms of Populist Committee
For Calling Convention—Believes Watson
Has Been Misinformed.
To the Editor of The Georgian.
Aa our executive committee and my
splf have been criticised aa making a
mistake, and otherwise misrepresented,
I feel It Is but a matter of justice that
have a word of reply through the
same papers.
First. This committee meeting was
regularly called, fairly conducted and
did not transcend Its bounds. Thsre
rere fully twice as many Populists
present who concurred In . and ap
proved the action of this committee
aa were at the convention which elect'
ed delegates to our last .national can'
ventlon which put out our national
ticket. The members present were
good, true Populists, who desire the
welfare of our party, and would not
maka a mistake Intentionally.
1 don’t believe their actions were In
fluenced by talk from outside sources.
- I am not saying or arguing that the
committee did not make a mistake In
calling a nominating convention July
4, but I do aay it had a perfect right to
meet end do what It did.
Time will prove the wisdom or un
wisdom of calling the convention.
The wisest of men make mlstakea,
and If time develops the wisdom of
postponing a nomination July 4, the
convention will have a perfect right to
do ao, or even make no nomination
at all. Populists certainly do have a
right to. meet, elect new officers and
agres on
$500.00.
The above reward will be paid
for such evidence ns will lead to
irreit and conviction of the party
of parties who maliciously cut a
number of wires on cable pole at
corner of Pcachtreo and Seventh
streets, during Wednesday night,
April 19, or Thursday morning,
April 20.
A like reward will be paid for
Web evidence as will lead to the
•rrest and conviction of any per-
•on or persons maliciously inter
fering with or destroying the
property of this company, at any
point

such plan of organisation aa
they see lit: and I urgently request the
Georgia Populists to do this, and see
that their party does not die. Even good
Democrats would hate to see It die.
for many have acknowledged that It
has done much good by advocating
good principle*, even It It nils no
offleea.
There la no use denying the fact that
the Populists of Georgia are divided
In policy at this time, and It seems
to me a matter of the greatest Impor
tance that they should meet and en
deavor to harmonise, Many are for the
Hon. Hoke Smith. Some few are for,
each of the other candidates, and many
are fully determined to stay out of the
Democratic primary. This element
then honorably bound for two years,
and would not be free to vote our ticket
In 190S; and that our party In Geor
gia would be absolutely deed. This ele
ment of our party wants a ticket so
they will have some one to vote for.
I wish to sey that personally I am
taking no stock either for or against
any of the Democratic candidates, nor
do I Intend to vote In their primary.
My chief concern end only concern, po
litically. Is to maintain our party or-
Kaniratton and party honor. •
I know Mr. Watson feels that ho and
his party are bound by his pledge on
the disfranchisement measure: but
surely no fair-minded Democrat woule
so rigidly and so unreasonably construe
that pledge as to mean that we should
renounce our party, turn our hack
on ouf sacred principles and become
bucked and gagged for the sweet privi
lege of becoming organised Democrats.
No man surpasses me In my esti
mation of Mr. Watson. I believe In his
honesty; I believe In his Integrity and
almost glory In his conviction tor right.
But the best of us sometimes make
mistakes, and the wisest sometimes get
misinformed. 1 believe Mr. Watson has
been misinformed. In some degree,
about our committee meeting, end If
I did not believe ha would approve of
my course In tbe end In trying to pre-
serye our party organisation I would
not be writing these lines. _ • _

REV, 0, J, COPELAND
LEAVES JACKSON HILL
Following close upon the heels of the
news of the return to Atlanta of
former pastor of Jackson Hill Baptist
church, Rev. J. J. Rennstt, comes the
resignation of ths present paetor of ths
church. Rev. Oliver J. Copeland. An
nouncement waa made by Mr. Cope
land himself, when at ths morning ser
vices on Sunday he read to the congre
gation his formal resignation. It came
entirely unexpected, as Mr. Copeland
had been with the church only a little
more than a year, and had grown to be
very popular with the members of hie
pastorate. Besides being a very force
ful preacher, Mr. Copeland has made a
splendid record as a pastor, and Jack-
son Hill Ms grown largely while he has
been In charge.
He goes to take the pulpit of the
Gainesville Baptist ehureh. which num
bers some of ths most prominent Bap-
tlsts In Georgia among Its members.
This Is the third time Mr.'Copeland has
been called to Gainesville, and h* Ma
at last yleldfd to ths urgency of, their
request. His resignation Is not to take
efTect for sixty days, so tMt Jackson
Hill will be able to secure e successor
before be leaves. No move has os yet
been made to look for a successor to
Mr. Copeland, as his resignation was
entirely unexpected.

tery.
In accordance with the action taken
at the Southern Baptist convention at
Chattanooga recently, tbe committee
having the matter In charge has se
lected ns the general evangelist for the
Southern Baptist church Dr. W. W
Hamilton, of Louisville. The commit'
tee,' which selected Dr. Hamilton, li
composed of tho following ministers:
Dr. John F. Purser, chairman; Rev.
John E. White and Rev. John Briggs.
They have already notified Dr. Hamil
ton of his selection and he has wired
his acceptance
The headquarters of this department
of church work will probably be In At
Unto, though no final plans havo been
made as yet. Dr. Hamilton will as
sume his new duties some tlmo In the
early fall.
"Dr. Hamilton Is well known In At
lanta," says Dr. John E. White, who
Is one of the committee In direction of
this movement. "He was with me In a
two weeks' meeting In tho Second Bap
list church three years ago.
"Since then he has been In the public
eye ns an evangelist, and especially ns
a director of the great Louisville meet
ings a year ago. He Is a strong man.
Ha has common sense. There Is noth-
Ing bizarre or sensational In his meth
ods and he will win the support of ear
nest Christians everywhere.
'Tho lines along which Southern
Baptists will conduct their evangelistic
work will, 1 am sure, be strictly with
respect to -he authority anil responsi
bility of local churches. Our people
generally, In my opinion, do not bellovo
that tho centralised big meeting meth
od Is the wisest or most effeettvs way
to reach the unsaved In the cities. It
Is not a question whether these meet
ings do good or not. Of course, they
do good.
"But ths question Baptists and othsrs
are considering Is whether they do the
most good, and whether they are ths
best for the cause of Christ In the long
run. There Is now before the home
mission board a proposed method
which, I believe, will be approved by
our Bouthern Baptist people, which
differs essentially from the centralized
meeting method.
"Dr. Hamilton Is a wise worker and
understands the Baptist people. He
will come to this new work about Bep-
tember 1, and Will llvo In Atlanta.”
A Valued and Discriminating Tribute
To the Editor of Ths Georgian:
Omar said of the “Koran,” "Destroy ell your libraries, for their value

If a magnified cnlor of some particular viewpoint Is wanted, why.
read The Journal; If Its opposite Is desired, read The Constitution.
But If the whole truth Is sought, and an Intelligent, unbiased opin
ion upon the Important Issues before the people la what a man wants to
And In his dally paper. The Georgian nils the bill.
It Is the only newspaper 1 have ever seen that I deem worth keep
ing a complete file of.
A regularly read dally paper has more to do with shaping and direct
ing our thoughts and convictions on public questions than any other
agency, and the paper that aubordlnates Its highest duty to that of per
sonal gain In whatever sphere, should be given nbsent treatment for a
while, at least, by the respectable, truth-loving element of'our cltzena.
We people of the unparllcularlsed mass, the great unheard-of number,
usually get what wo demand of the dally gueal Hint abould come to our
