Respectfully, W. J. O’Quinn. Peter Smith is still organizing. Atlanta has secured the State lair. It lookB as though populism is going to the deinnition dooce. The next reunion of tho Confed¬ erate Veterans will he held in At¬ lanta. Tom Watson doesn’t want office, oh no. He only wants to play Hanna to some one’s McKinley. The Wayne Light Troop failed to get the $ LOO recommended by the Grand Jurft, but the boys say they will show up at Meldrim or break a rying. The cuse of the State vs. Nicho¬ las & Chaneey was tried Monday at county court. The State was unable to produce enough evidence to establsh a ease, and a consent verdict was given in favor defend¬ ants. The Trade’s Day issue of the Wayeross Journal was great, and the Journal tuav well be proud of its success. The efforts of the Journal to advertise Wayeross should be appreciated by that hus¬ tling town. Will some kindly disposed con¬ temporary inform us whether tlie Douglas Leader is still making war on “ one horse democratic edi tors,” and whether or no the gentle Timm is still at the holm of that rudderless ship? The .Midsummer edition of the Brunswick Times was a handsome and very creditable issue. It is a great advertisement of Brunswick and its splendid facilities. As the Times jtmlv remarks, " Brunswick first, last nnd all the time," „ m coming from the Times, this means a great deal. NOTICE.

For time there have been signs of integration in the Populist and these indications of ing dissolution become every day. It appears that the, include, not only personal nisms, accompanied by more or rancor, but issues calculated to flnenee the public mind. the question of fnsion, which caused so much feeling of late tween the wings of the headed by Watson and there is a new issue beside all others taken up by Mr. are likely to paleinto It is the A. P. A. issue which has deliberately brought This has already attracted tion and aroused lasting nism in quarters where was hardly known. Bitter as populist campaigns have been, feeling they have engendered is nothing in comparison with which the new issue is likely stir up. It is a powerful he makes to the Protestant mers, but religious prejudice is dangerous ns it is powerful. Woteon is playing with but he appears to revel in storms. He likes the .breath of cyclone and the turmoil of the ments. Like Sam Jones, he spises a dull time, but unlike Jones, he is less conservative action than in utterance. This new cyclone which Watson has in preparation is ly to make short work of the jecta membra of the Populist ty.

The body of William Brauda, a quiet, inoffensive man living near Screven, was found buried in a gopher hole last Sunday. He had been missing since last Thursday, and the people of that, section had organized a searching party to look for him. Their attention was cal¬ led to the gopher hole ty a swarm of flies hovering near. It is thought that he was killed with an axe and then dragged •o the place where he was found buried. The murderer did not com¬ plete his work and left an opening which attracted a swarm of flies to the spot and was the cause of the body being found. Bennett Davis who lived nearby and who disap¬ peared the same night has been suspeete.l of committing the crime. The officers were at a loss as to a motive for the crime at first, but have since gathered evidence which tends to prove| that Brauda dis¬ covered Davis in the commision of a heinous crroe, and Davis to con¬ ceal it, committed another by mur¬ dering him. Up to date no trace of Davis has been found, but the officers have taken every precaution to prevent his escape from the country. Since the above was written, evi denee has developed which led to to the arrest of the wife and daugh ttr of Bennett Davis. They were given a hearing at once before Justice Harris, and both made affi¬ davits that a criminal intimucy ex¬ isted between Davis and his daugh¬ ter, which being discovered by Brauda, led to his being murdered by Davis. Both wife and daughter deny having had any hand in the murder. Sheriff Lyens and his deputy have been working up the case with great fkill and hope soon to have the murderer behind the bars.
