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."
