To Fuse on The Populists Plans In Georgia. The democratic executive com mittee of tho state held a meeting in Atlanta last week to consider two questions. The first was for the purpose of nominating four candidates of the supremo court under the amendment to the con stitution adopted at tho state elec tion. The next question before the committee was to consider the proposition of the populists for fu sion on the state electoral ticket. That proposition, which was made by resolution at a meeting of the populist executive committee held last Thursday, is as follows: “Resolved, That as a final effort to secure the union of the silver forces to which the democratic party is committed and to test the patriotism of our professed allies, we do now withdraw the following electors: William 11. Felton, state at large; H. C. Newton, second district; Thomas B. Davis, fourth district; W. S. Whitaker, sixth district; J. J. Green, eighth dis trict; William Lansdell, tenth dis trict, and insist that tho democrat ic party of Georgia withdraw six of their electors with the under standing that the thirteen shall cast their votes for Bryan and Wat son. “Be it further resolved, That if the democratic party does not ac cede to the foregoing just and rea sonable proposition within five days from date; then be it “Resolved, That our central com mittee is authorized and empow ered to withdraw, if advisable, our remaining electors or reinstate those that are now withdrawn and that we concentrate every effort of our party in the election of our congressional nominees.” It was plainly evident to the committee that the populists did not really want fusion, but were making a demand that the demo crats ignore Sewall and give tho whole vote of Georgia to Tom Wat son. After a full discussion of the proposition the committee passed the following resolution: Whereas, The Populist state ex ecutive committee has made a prop osition which completely ignores fusion by eliminating the candi dacy of the democratic nominee for vice-president, Mr. Sewall, and has cut off the democratic commit tee from further consideration of the question by fixing an arbitrary imit, which expires today, giving this committee no opportunity for consideration of a movement for proper fusion; therefore be it, Resolved. That the chairman of the democratic state executive committee appoint a committee, of which he shall be the chairman, to properly present to the public the attitude of this committee in its refusal to accept the unreasonable and unjust ultimatum of the pop ulist committee, clothed as it is in offensive and unbecoming lan guage. The resolution was passed by a full and unanimous vote and will meet the approval of the democrats of Georgia. If Troubled With Rheumatism Read this.

In a cleverly written article on “The Feverish American,” in the current issue of The Alkahest, gen ial Joe Johnson says no one knows at what a fearfully rapid pace Americans live, until they are brought in contact with the people of the old world; that the latter people are treading leisurely and happy down life’s pathway, com fortable, peaceful and calm, and then he wonders why we Ameri cans are traveling like the very Nick was after us.

Robins, pastor of one of the leading Methodist churches in Atlanta, and an emi nent writer and theologian, has stirred up a storm of adverse crit icism on account of his new book, “The Family a Necessity of Civili zation.” One of his critics, Dr. H. P. Myers, says that the book is “heretical, unscriptural and falla cious, and agrees neither with the word of God nor with sound reason.’ On the other hand Dr. I. S. Hop kins, says, “I know nothing of the merits of the discussion but I would rather take John Robins’ opinion on theology than that of any of his critics.” In the book Dr. Robins defines his belief on original sin, on regen eration and on the conversion of infants; and his radical views, the critics claim, are opposed to one of the first and cardinal principles of the Methodist church. Before going to Atlanta several years ago Dr. Robins was presiding elder of this, the Dalton district, and has preached here numbers of times. He made a splendid im pression upon his hearers and had many warm friends here. Resolutions of Respect. Whereas, Go 3, in his allwise providence, has seen fit to call our beloved brother, N. L.

Hick ory Lodge, No. 133 F. and A.

One of the Most Prominent Young Lawyers in Georgia and a Y/ ell Known Legislator. Dalton, Oct. 22.—Hon. Tram mell Starr died at a few minutes after noon today. Mr. Starr was one of the best known men in the state. He was a member of the last senate and a prominent political factor in North Georgia. He was a lawyer of wide reputation, and if his health had not failed him would have been a candidate for solicitor general of his circuit. Mr. Staar was taken sick two months ago and blood poisoning set in. His condition has been critical for some time, but his friends never lost hope and his re covery was not despaired of by his physicians. His death causes widespread sorrow among his wid circle of friends. There should be no politics in choosing Georgia’s additional su preme court justices.

Young Englishmen visiting the United Seates have ass many ab surd and amusing experiences as Americans have when in foreign countries. An English traveller had been assured that west of the Missouri river the entire country was infested with bears, some of which were so bold that they came into the towns. He stopped in a Kansas village, and in the evening started cut for a walk. The stores were closed. He rambled about the place and started down the business street for the hotel. Sud denly he saw before him on the sidewalk a big bear, sitting on its haunches with wide open mouth and paws extended, awaiting his coming. In a moment he was on top of a porch, crying for help, but no one heard him, and the bear sat and w r atched him. All night long he stayed there, tremb ling for fear bruin would climb the porch but comforting himself with the idea that it was too small to be used by a bear. At daybreak some men came a long, and one of them wheeled the bear back to the doorway with the remark : “I wonder who put that sign in the middle of the walk.” — Washington Star.
