CHAIRMAN J. J. HOLLOW A Y
STATES HIS POSITION
Answers Criticisms of Populist Committee
For Calling Convention—Believes Watson
Has Been Misinformed.
To the Editor of The Georgian.
A« our executive committee and my
aelf have been criticized aa making a
mistake, and otharwlae misrepresented,
I feel It Is but a matter of justice that
I have a Word of'reply through the
same papers.
First. This committee meeting was
regularly called, fairly conducted and
did not transcend Its bounds. There
were fully twice as many Populists
present who concurred In and ap
proved the action of this committee
as ^vere at the convention which elect
ed delegates to our last national con
vention which put nut our national
ticket. The members present were
good, true Populists, who desire the
welfare of our party, and would not
make a mistake Intentionally.
1 don't believe their actions were In-
lluencedlby talk from outside sources.
I am fiot saying or arguing that the
committee did not make a mlatake In
calling a nominating convention July
.4, but I do say It had a perfect right to
meet and do what It did.
Time will prove the wisdom or un
wisdom of calling the convention.
The wisest of men make mistakes,
and If time develops tha wisdom of
postponing a nomination July 4, the
convention will have a perfect tight to
do so, or even make no nomination
at all. Populists certainly do have a
right to meet, elect new officers and
agree on such plan of organisation aa
they see fit; and I urgently request tbs
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 principles, even If It fills no
offices.
There Is no use denying the fset 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 tor the
Hon. Hoke Smith. Some few are for
each of the other candidates, and many
are fully determined to stay out of tho
Democratic primary. This element
argues that to go Into the primary and
take the pledge Imposed that they are
then honorably bound for two yeara,
and would not be free to vote our ticket
In ISOS: and that our party In Geor
gia would be absolutely dead. This ele
ment of our party wonts a ticket so
they will have some one to vote for.
I wish to say 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 and only concern, po
litically, Is to mnlntaln our party or
ganisation and party honor.
I know Mr. Watson feels thot he and
his party ore bound by his pledge on
tho disfranchisement measure: but
surely no fair-minded Democrat woulo
so rigidly and so unreasonably construe
that pledge os to mean that we should
renounce our party, turn our back
on our soered principles and become
bucked and gagged for the sweet privi
lege of becoming organized 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 for right.
But the best of us sometimes mako
mistakes, and the wisest sometimes get
misinformed. 1 believe Mr. Watson has
been misinformed, in some degree,
about our committee mestlng, and If
I did not believe he would approve of
my course In the end In trying to pre
serve our party organization I would
not be writing these lines.
Again urging upon the Popullats of
Georgia the Importance of understand
ing each other, nnd the great necessi
ty of coming together for this purpose,
I am.
Very respectfully,
J. J. HOLLOWAY.

REV, 0, J, COPELANO
LEAVES JACNSON HILL
Following close upon the heel* of tha
news of the return to Atlanta of
former pastor of Jackson Hill Baptist
church, Rsv. J. J. Bennett, comes the
resignation of th# present pastor ot the
church, Rev. Oliver J. Copeland. An
nouncement was made by Mr. Cope'
land himself, when at the morning ser
vices on Sunday he read to the congre
gation hla formal resignation. It came
entirely unexpected, a* Mr. Copeland
had been with the church only n little
more than a year, and had grown to be
very popular with the members of his
pastorate. Besides being a very force
ful preacher, Mr. Copeland has made a
splendid record as a pastor, and Jack-
son Hill has grown largely while he has
been In charge.
He goes to take the pulpit of the
Gainesville Baptist church, which num
bers some of the most prominent Bap
tists In Georgia ntnong It* members.
This Is the third time Mr. Copeland ha*
been called to Gainesville, and he has
at last yielded to the urgency of their
request. Hit resignation Is not to take
effect for atzty days, so that Jackson
fun win b* able to secure a successor
before he leaves. No move has as yet
been made to look for a successor to
Mr. Copeland, as his resignation was
entirely unexpected.
REV. 8HIVE8 CALLED
TO PORTSMOUTH CHURCH
Bperlal to The Georgian.
Portsmouth. Vs, Jons 3.—The Rev. J, T.
Sblvee, of Abbeville. H. C„ was railed to
the pastorate of the First 1’reahytertan
rhorrh of this city at a eoogrrgmi„niil i
meeting yesterday. The call Mill lie rI
tend—l through the Houth Csrollus l'resliy I
trry. 1
In accordance with the action taken
at the Southern Baptlet convention at
Chattanooga recently, the committee
having the matter In charge has se
lected as the general evangelist for the
Southern liii ilet church Dr. W. W.
Hamilton, of Louisville. The commit
tee, which selected Dr. Hamilton, Is
composed of the following ministers:
I)r. John r. Purser, ohalnmui; llev.
John ]•:. While and Ilev. John HilKk-M
They have already notified Dr. Hamil
ton of his selection nnd he hoe wired
his acceptance.
Tho headquarters of this department
of church work will probably he In At
lanta, though no final plans have been
made as yet. Dr. Hamilton will
sums his new duties some time In tho
early fall.
"Dr. Hamilton la well known In At
lanta," says Dr. John E. White, who
Is ono of the committee In direction of
this movement. "He waa with me In a
two woeks’ meeting In the Second Bap
tist church three years ago.
"Since then he has been In the public
eye as an evangelist, ond especially ns
a director of the great Louisville meet
ings a year ago. He Is a strong man.
He has common sense. Thoro Is noth
ing blxarre or sensational In hla meth
ods and he will win the support of ear
nest Christians sverywhsre.
"Tho lines along which Southern
Baptists nill conduct their evangelistic
work will, I am sure, be strictly with
respect to rhe authority and responsi
bility of local churches. Our people
generally. In my opinion, do not believe
that the centralized big meeting meth
od Is the wisest or most effective way
to reach the unsaved In the cities. It
la not n question whether these meet
ings do good or not. Of course, they
do good.
But the question Baptists and others
are considering la whether they do the
moat good, and whether they aro the
best for the cause of Christ In the long
ran. 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 wlae worker and
understands the Baptist people. He
will come to this new work about Sep
tember 1, and will live In Atlanta."
