Organized labor is waking up!
It. now seems that the young pa¬
triot will soon have the chance to
don the war jacket and strike for
Undo Sam.
The supreme court has granted
a m w trial to Flanagan, the double
murtloi er. Wonder why wo have
lynchiup's in Georgia?
It would not n quire the power¬
ful searchlight or X-rays to see
that some men are trying to ride
two horses going in opposito direc¬
tions.
It is beautiful to be consistent,
but some men seem .to have lost
all v.-spent for that virtue, and
will bond the hinges of the knees
that thrift may follow fawning.
Just as soon as if was known
that Mr. Watson would not accept
the nomination for governor, <>u r
moosback friends sot up a cackle
of delight that was amusing to be¬
hold. They fear Watson v. it!: that
fear bordering on insanity,
This great state is being lmg-
tiod by a lot of little cne-horso
politicians, so narrow between the
eye-; that you could, with an ordi¬
nary table fork, jab both eyes out
at one jab. They don’t know the
first principles of state sovereignty,
er Jeffersonian democracy, and
have no conception cf 'the indus¬
trial wants or capabilities of the
state.
We fought side by side with the
honest farmer m tl o palmy days
of the alliance, and on up to
the time that noble order was,rent
m twain by designing men and
blackhearted traitors. Then we
east our It t with the peoples party,
and with it we intend to stay un¬
til that place of torment our good
brethren accuse God, or some one
else, of creating for the purpose of
“frying the fat” out of the sin¬
ner-, freezes over.
According to the rule of rota¬
tion this is Polk county’s time to
select to next state senator from
this senatorial district, and the
friends of Dr. D. M. Russell, of
Cedartown, will urge that he outer
the race for the nomination at the
hands of the populists. The doc¬
tor is an ex-con federate soldier,
and a truer friend to the man who
“earns his bread by the sweat of
his face” never breathed the breath
of life. Hon. John I. Full wood is
also spoken of in that capacity.
WE’RE STILL FOR WATSON.
Jn.nn open letter to the Peoples
l’aity Paper of last week, Hon.
Thos. E. Watson, populist nomi-
nee for governor, declines to ac-
cept the nomination.
Wo are not quite sure that the
reasons he gives for this action are
sufficient to justify it, but will in
no wise discuss them. His action
is final and absolute. What re¬
mains is, what are the people go¬
ing to do about it? This is a
question which caory man in the
state has a right to decide for
himself, as much as Mr, M atson
had the right to determine for
himself whether or not he should
accept the nonynation.
While we regret very much that
Mr. Watson has seen fit to decline
the nomination at the hands of
those who loved him so well, wt
do not in the least entertain a
doubt but what he would have
been elected by a handsome rn a-
joritv, still the fact of refusing the
nomination does not alter the sit¬
uation as far as The Tkibuhe is
concerned.
We were for Tom Watson at the
start because wo believed him to
be as well qualified for the office
of governor as any other man m
the state—or in the south as to
that matter! We believed in him
before the convention and we be-
lieve in him now.
There may bo other men in the
state, in our party and in other
parties who are the peers of Mr.
Watson, but we never will believe
that he has a superior.
Our opinion is that the voters
of Georgia should elect Mr. W at-
son for governor. Brother, it is
one thing to decline a noinina-
tion, and it is quite another thing
to refuse to accept an^office* after
having been elected, Had you
ever thought about it in that
light? jf.
Wo are for Hon. Thos. Wat-
son. o f McDuffie, fori governor!
Let us elect him over Jus protest!
GET READY FOR THE FRAY.
The Tm bunk lias all along been
trying to impress on the “boys at
the forks of the creek,'"[Who farm-
ei-s, the importance of organizing
clubs at the school houses in every
11( “ighborhoed for the purpose of
studying out a plan for relief from
present oppressive conditions. YVo
are piessed to know that m many
parts of Georgia such clubs have
been formed and good results are
growing therefrom, but there are
many sections yet which have not
awakened to the necessity of this
work. If such a club was in work¬
ing order in every community in
the state wo would knock that
democratic ring in Atlanta into a
cocked hat. To bring this about
we suggest that some live, wide¬
awake man* in every community
take it upon himself to visit the
voters in his neighborhood and in¬
vite them to meet at a certain time
at the community school house for
the purpose of organizing a club
to discuss all and any question that
may bo suggested.
Those clubs will tend to awaken
interest in local and state affairs,
and furnish a relief from the mo¬
notonous condition which environ
the industrial classos, and may de¬
velop a Ratrick Henry or Joan of
Arc. to load the people in their war
against their oppressors. If it
does not do this it will at least post
the people about the schemes and
methods of the official class who
look upon the common people on¬
ly as cattle, to be herded and voted
at election times.

household furniture, by all in earns

WHOSE WAR?
There may be war, or there may
not be war. It' there is no war,
bonds will bo issued to cover the
cost of making preparations, any¬
way. If there is war a big
batch of bonds will be issued to
cover the expenses. Who will pay
these bonds? The laboring man
and his already over-worked child¬
ren, of course! Political specula¬
tors in Spain, and money bags, and
iron ship mongers have for some
time had sensational papers on
both sides of the “branch,'’ hired
to work up a war spirit among the
common people. Whose war will
it be? The rich man’s! Whose
fight will it be? The poor man’s!
as he will be the one to stop Span¬
ish bullets and die with the yellow
fever!
IN mkmoriam.
Born in the state of Yew York,
in the year of our Lord 1810, on
May 5, Enoch Taltnage Davis. De-
parletbthis life March 15,1898, be¬
ing 88 years, 1 month and 21 days
old. The Lord did indeed bless
him, and spared him to a good old
age. His companion has lost a
kind and loving husband, the chil¬
dren an affectionate and devoted
father. To t now him was to love
him. While we cannot understand
Go Is purpose n removing himfrom
our midst, we deeply deplore our
loss and the vacancy that cannot
be filled; yet all things work to
get her for good to those who love
the Lord. Oh, happy thought! I
will see you again. We will love
and cherish his memory and pray
that our lives may ever be obedi¬
ent arid praverfnl, as was his, and
that wo may fall asleep in Jesus as
sv.eetly as lie did. Asleep in Jesus,
blessed sleep. Happy thought that
X will see him again. Ho'profossed
a hope in Christ near 10 rears ago: '
muted , with ... uKqBaptist .. .j, .. church ,
tu
Corrinth, was baptised by Roy. I',
I'. Pritchard, and had ever since
lived a model Christian. His daily
walk and Christ like conversation
is evidence that he is now vt rest
with those gone before to dwell
with God and the angel-:. In his
last days he prayedjjv. ithout eeas-
mg, One prayer was, “Oh, God,
he merciful to mo; nless and com¬
fort me as thou seest 1 need.” We
dofeelheis blest and comforted,
and pray that his prayers may bo
answered in behalf of Ids loved
ones. May they be as bread east
upon the waters—gathered up ma¬
ny days hence.
Eight or ten years ago he re-
quested Rev. Jack Davis to con-
duet Ins funeral services when his
departure came. The Lord spared
him for koine pmposo not known
to us. His reqin st was carried out
before his remains were laid to
rest. Revs. Davis and Woods con¬
ducted the services. Tire script¬
ure used was, “Ye now therefore
have sorrow, but I will see you
again, and your hearts shall re¬
joice and your joy no man talcoth
from you.”—John 16:22. lie loved
the church; loved to meet with
his brethren. One of the greatest
pleasures with him was to meet
AVith them and wash feet after per-
taking of the Lord’s supper. How
often have we seen bin rejoce! lie
would get so happy that his soul
would seem to be lifted up far from
the things of this world. He re¬
joiced in the Lord of his salvation.
O what a happy thought: I will see
you again. Wo mourn not for him
as one who lms no hope. We do
feel assured that our loss is his
eternal gain- 1 feel X will moot
him beyond the chilly tide where
noinore sickness, sorrow pain or
death will ever come Our dear
old father has gone to rest to reign
with Christ ferovor blest.
The gospel was his joy and song.
