To the Editor of The Georgian.
As our executive committee and my.
eelf have been criticised ae making a
mistake, and otherwise misrepresented,
I feel It Is but a matter of Justice that
1 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 were at the convention which elect
ed delegates to our last national con
vention which put out our national
ticket. The members present were
good, true Populists, who desire the
welfare of our party, and would not
make a mistake Intentionally.
I 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
It had a perfect right to
4, but I do say
meet and do what It did.
Time will prove the wisdom or un
wisdom of calling the convention.
and If time develops the wisdom
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
agree on auch plan of organisation as
they see tit; and I urgently request the
Georgia Populists to do this, and aee
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
mi*
offices.
There Is no use denying the fact that
the Populism of Georgia are divided
In policy at this time, and It seema
to mo a matter of the greatsat Impor
tance that they should meet and en
deavor to harinonlzo. Many are for the
Hon. Hoke Smith. Some few are for
each of the other candidates, and many
aro fully determined to stay out of the
Democratic primary. This element
argues that to go Into the primary and
take the pledge Imposed that they are
then honorably bound for fwo years,
and would not be free to vote our ticket
In 1(08; and that our party In Geor
gla would be absolutely dead. This ele.
ment of our party wanta a ticket so
they will have some one to vote for.
GENERAL EVANGELIST
CHOSEN BY BAPTISTS
taking no atock either for or against
any of the Democratic candidates, nor
do I Intend to vote In their prlmnry.
My chief concern and only concern, po
litically, la to maintain our party or
ganization and party honor.
t know Mr. Watson feels that he and
his party are bound by his pledge on
the disfranchisement measure; but
surely no fair-minded Democrat would
rigidly and so unreasonably construe
that pledge
ns to mean that wo should
renounce our party, turn our back
on our snered 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 snd
almost glory In his conviction for right.
But the best of us sometimes mako
mlatakes, and the wisest sometimes get
misinformed. I believe Mr. Watson has
been misinformed, In some degree,
about our committee masting, and If
1 did not believe be 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 Populists of
Georgia the Importance of understand
ing each other, and the great necessi
ty of coming together for th|s purpose,
Bm ’ Very respectfully,
J. J. HOLLOWAY.

Ketcong. N. J., June 25.—His daugh
ter dead, slain by her former flanco
who also killed himself, his wife near
death from nervous shock, his home
and barn burned, Henry Cowley today
finds himself financially ruined os a re
suit of the opposition to the marriage
of his daughter, Iti
will, 1 am sure, be strictly with
respect to •he authority and responsi
bility of local churches. Our people
generally, In my opinion, do not believe
that tho centralised big meeting meth
od la the wisest or most effective way
to reach the unsaved in the cltlea. It
ta not a question whether these meet
ings do good or not. Of course, they
do good.
“But the question Baptists and others
aro considering Is whether they do the
moat good, and whether they are the
best for the cause of Christ In the long
run. There Is now before the home
mission b'Htt‘1 ;i proponed method
which, I believe, will be approved by
our Southern Baptist people, which
differs ement tally from the centralized
meeting method.
'Ur. Hamilton Is a wise worker and
understands the Baptist people. He
will come to this new work about Sep*
tember 1, and will live In Atlanta**

land Longcore.
An Inquest Into the details of the
deaths was begun by Coroner Sintlh
this morning, but It waa only a formal
ity. The man who had wrought all the
evil was dead by his own hand. The
crime of Longcore, a prosperous farm
er and for many yeara a power In poli
tics, has stirred the cntlro community.
Cowley, a neighbor, was equally promi
nent and the families had been Inti-
male for years.
Because the girl rejected him, Long
core fired their home, driving the fam
ily out, then shot the girl dead, tried
to kill her father and an hour later
