State School Commissioner, S. D. Brad-
well, called the school to order and de
clared the second session opened. He
made a few remarks which were well
received. He explained that through
the Gilmer fund and the generosity of
the people of Athens and Clarke county,
be bad been enabled to open the doors
of the sohool for this session; that
good teachers bad been secured to train
the different classes mud that if all would
work energetically gread good would be
accomplished.
Chancelltr Boggs in making a few
remarks took occasion to say that the
Grand Jury of Clarke county and the
people of Athena would n' be asked
again to render financial aid to tbi*
school, and if it thrived in the future it
must do so by funds secured from the
legislature. He urged all to do their
duty ao well that the results attained
would oommend the tohool to the good
will and friendship of the legislature.
President Lawton B. Evans, of Au
gusta, made some very interesting re
marks, saying that he didn’t wish to be
styled a superintendent or a professor
or a president, but a teacher. He spoke
several sentences of praise for the
teachers of Georgia, and said that
Georgia would yet be made to knoa
that this wofk of Normal Sohool train
ing was accomplishing great good. He
•aid that there would be lessons in the
morning beginning at 8:50 and con
tinuing until a o’clock. In the after

and at night lectures, musical enter
tainments and social pleasures.

. Atlanta, July 4— Ex-Congressman
Thomas E. Watson, leader of tile Peo
ple’* party in Georgia, opened what he
termed his campaign of political edu
cation today at Douglaaaville.
There were several-thousand Populist*
mt to hear him and Watson spoke
;hr*e hours. He took the life ot Jaffer-
ion, hit oreed and faith, as his text,
and from itdisooarsed upon Democracy
anoient and modern. Watson said the
principles ot Democracy would never
die, and pledged himself to preach those
doctrines as long as his political career
lasted. This was in the nature of a
surprise to his hearers, tor they had not
expected to hear the leader of the Pop
ulist giving suoh a turn to the extreme
populistic views defeated him
last falL Nevertheless he sooted every
body who had held authority at the na
tion’s capital with bitter anathemas. He
ohided the Democratic party, dertaring
that it was bringing out state banks aa
an issue like a porous plaster to restore
the financial condition of the country,
leaving bimetallism alone, atthoogh it
was a Democratic platform doctrine.
Ha said money issued Ipy suoh a poliey
would be wortblBss, and declared that
money stamped by the govenasnt alone
had any strength. The Damoorats, ba
said, make a very doleful confession
when they say Sherman, one poor
little Republican, succeeded in
hypnotising two hundred Democratic
congressmen when he struck down one
hundred and forty million dollars of
the people’s money. Aa long as the
Democratic party tailed to adopt a
bimetallic basis of currency, said Wat
son, it would firoe the great mass of
Southern and Western voters into the
People’s party and under such a con
dition that party would play a greater
hand in the next campaign than la
dreamed of now. While the Sherman
taw was bad enough, it was the only
defense of the masses against the com
plete abolition of silver money.
He warned the administration that if
the Sherman taw was repealed uncon
ditionally there would be lively times
ahead for that party in the next cam
paign.
He also criticised the'present tariff
system for its burdensome expenses on
the oountry and strongly urged an in
come tax, declaring that the people of
the Sooth and West were a unit on this
measure.
Watson, speaking of railroads and
trusts, declared that Attorney-General
Olney, supposed to be the representa
tive of the people In taw suits against
these corporations, was also a lawyer
for corporations and a director in sev
eral leading corporations.
In closing be declared the day had
come when sectional lines and rsoe
lines must be wiped out In the adminis
tration of taw.
Ho will continue the campaign in
Georgia' throughout the summer
months.
