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.

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.

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.

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.
