POPULISTS ARE HOT.
I
Nomination of W. S. Whitaker
Gauss of the Trouble.
Macon, Ga., Aug. IS.—ls a
prominent popuiist of this city is
to be believed all is n»t serene
with the Populist of the Sixth
Congressional District concerning
the nomination of W. S. Whitaker
of Pike County, for Congress. In
fact, to use the words of the afore
mentioned Populist, there is “Hel
to pay.”
The trouble, it, seems, grows
out of the fact that Whitaker only
received 11 1-2 votes, which was a
majority of the votes cast, but
that according to the rules of the
convention 14 votes were necessary
for a choice. As the majority
ruled, however, Whitaker was de
clared nominated. The same pop
ulist says that the Pike county
delegation, which nominated Whi
taker, resorted to unfair methods
and chicanary to bring about the
nomination of Whitaker. One of
their methods being to persuade
the delegates present to give Whi
taker a complimentary vote, as
suring the delegates present that
it would be impossible to nomin
ate Whitaker.
After a majority of the delegates
bad promised to give him a com
plimentary vote without the knowl
edge of anyone another balloting
was called for and Whitaker re
ceived 11 1-2 votes on the first
ballott, or enough, so the major
ity ruled, to nominate him. Three
counties in the district were not
represented at the convention.
Whitaker was in the city today
and it is reported spent the day in
trying to straighten out the mud

ley, ot J Wiggs county,came to Ma
con today In buy a coffin for his 7
year-old son who was crushed to
death by a huge snake late Thurs
day afternoon .
The boy had gone to the field
with his father aud while his fa
ther was at work wandered off a
mid climbed a mus
codine vine as was his habit. On
i cing unable to fiind the boy when
he had finished his work about tun
down the father went to the house
expecting (o find him there but
was informed by his wife that the
boy had not been home since he
left the house with his father.
Feeling no uneasiness Wesley,
knowing the habit of Lis boy, w-ut
back to the field which Jwas on the
edge of a dense swamp bordered with
muscadine vines, and began search
ing the vines where he had last seen
the boy.
By looking up in the vines lie was
not long finding him, but when he
called the boy failed to answer, After
calling twoor three times and receiv
ing no answer the father shook the
vine, and to his horror saw what he
had supposed ( to be one of the
branches of the vine that was sup
porting his son begin to uncoil.
Realizing that his son was in the
coil of a huge snake Wesley stood
like rooted to the spot and before
he could recover his senses the
snake completely uncoiled and the
boy fell to the ground, a distance
of nine or ten feet. Wesley picked
the child up and ran from under
the vines to the clearing.
There his worst fears were realiz
ed as the child was dead On be
ing carried to the house and furth
er examination made it was found
that the child’s breast had been
crushed aud that its tongue and
eyes were protruting as though it
had been choked to death. Wesley
is of the opinion that the iboy was
asleep when the snake coiled about
him and gradually crushed his
life out. Wesley does not know
what kind of a snake it was as he
did not see it after bis son’jfell

SHOT FORD OATS.
A few days ago Messrs. J. B, Bo
bo, Bill Walker and others, while out
hunting the Mexican Lion, found a
couple of strange negroes camped in
the mountains near Mr. Bobo’s.
The negroes ran and were chased
until finally Bailiff Walker put a load
of No, 3 shot into the leg of one of
them .
This caused the strange coon to
drop a couple of coats and hit a live
lier gait.
Mr. Walker gave him the other bar
rel of shot in the back and gave up
the race.

Want# to know the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth. And he wants that
truth boiled down.
He has no time to waste In skimming about
the edges of a subject, he wants to get at the
gist of the wh'Me matter, and does not care
for a hundred pages of opinions if he can get
It all in a hundred lines of solid facts.
That is to sav he wants the Encyclopaedia
Britannica, for no other work will so
completely meet the busy man's needs. It
has justly been called “ the knowledge of the
whole world compressed into five feet of
book shelf.”
Another Characteristic
Os the business man is that he has an e\ e otj
the dollars. If his good judgment enables
him to detect the actual merit of a project
before his neighbors get into line he "gets
In on the bottom floor." while his less shrewd
neighbor waits until all the world wants it
* and then he finds " the stocks have gone up.”
It Is this characteristic of Georgia business
men that is leading them so generally to
procure the Encyclopedia Britannica while It
may be had at introductory rates. A thorough
business man sees how the Britannica
publishers can afford to permit a great paper
like The Atlanta Constitution to
offer their up-to-dafe edition at introductory
prices for a short time until the public
generally has become familiar with its
surpassing merits. Then all will want It.
and they will have to pay the publishers’
regular price ; while the man who was shrewd
enough to purchase during the introductory
period has saved just Sr.oo per volume on
the price of the work.
