THE Democrats were apparently
fearful that they could not secure a
full attendance at their State conven-
tion, so they fixed the date for Septem.
ber 9th in order to get the benefit OF
the crowd that annually attends the
State fair. 9, 1t is their obvious purpose
to inaugurate the campaign at that
time and keep it going. Besides se-
curing the additional crowds that will
be in at the fair, they will get the ad-
vantage of reduced rates for their
delegates, which will also bear fruit in
an attendance that might not other
wise be full. The Democratic manag-
ers are wise as serpents. even if they
be not harmless as doves.

must be done and that quickly.

IT looks now as though we would not
have a Populist crop after all. Indi-
cations point to fairly good yield of
all agricultural products, or at least a
sufficient crop to leave the farmers in
fairly prosperous condition. There
is no hope for Populism in any State
where times are good, and times are
always good when crops are even fairly
good. It takes a visitation of grass
hoppers, or a severe drought to kindle
any hope for the Populist party in this

ADNIIRES TEDDY,

Between Theodore Roosevelt and the
Republican party there is complete
harmony. He perfectly exemplifies
American character and purpose,
Though wealthy he is and has ALWAYS
been worker, and though of the aris-
tocracy is q plain, straig ghtforward,
man OF the people. Though possessed
OF wealth and position his sympathies
are with the aspirations of the masses
and require no demagogism to force
recognition. He is Of positive opinion
and honest purpose. He is as arores-
slVe for right as he. is perseveripg
against wrong. Back of his enerov
ana will is clear purpose, strong in
telllgence, sturdy integrity and lofty
PATRIOTISM. 1t would be impossible
tor such man to be Democrat. AS
a Republican he represents the his
torlc policy of his party and is in per-
1ect accord with the broad-guaged poll
cles OF President Mckinley, which
recognize the Nations growing great
ness and its glorious possibilities

began the work that lays before them.

detail they will have the cooperation
OF all the local organizations in the
State, and the total vote should be

and who after countless exhausting
efforts to compel the calf to forsake its

HARDLY!

II it was not right and legitimate for
US to acquire sovereignty over the
Philippines why did Mr.. Bryan urge
the ratification of the treaty that gave
US that sovereignty and boast that he
had secured seventeen votes without
which there would have been no rati-
fication? But Mr.. Bryan still insist
that the ratification of the treaty was
right and that our sovereignty was
legitimately acquired. Why, then, is
it wrong to use the military force of
the United States to suppress rebel
lion against legitimate sovereignty?
Yet the Democratic platform condemns
and denounces the Philippine policy of
the present administration and charges
it with having involved the republic
in an unnecessary" war and placed
the United States in the false and un-
American position of crushing with
military force" the aspiration of the
Filipinos for liberty and independence.
TO this plank Mr. Bryan has given his
unqualified Endorsement, and upon this
platform he stands. Is this honest?
Is this consistent? Is it this turncoat.
this man who has not the courage to
face the consequences of his own con-
victions, this ''statesman" who be-
lleves in acquiring sovereignty but
who would withdraw at the first at
tack upon that sovereignty-is it this
stripe of politician to whom the people
will intrust the helm? Hardly!-Pio

FARMERS TO MEET AT MACON.
WILL DEVISE PLAN TO HOLD COT

ed Warehouse Plan Farmers
Urged to send Delegates.
Atlanta. April 14-At a meeting of The
farmers of Troup county to-day held at
La Grange. a state convention of farmers
was called 10 meet at Macon, Ga, on May
p. to devise plan on a purely business
basis. i'm which the farmers would not be
compelled to dump their cotton on the
market at time when they would re
ceive the least compensation for 1t. IN
discussing the matter tonight eX-Repre-
sentative Jordan Of Jasper, who was at
the meeting, said:
1T is our purpose to enable the farmer
10 get an adequate price for his cotton.
Heretofore he has rushed it on the mar
ket, and consequently had to sell at the
buyers prices. We propose that the
farmer, through the aid of the banker
and the merchant, may hold his cotton.
by putting it in bonded warehouse and
thus get a easonable price for II. This
movement Is irrespective or the farmers
Institutes recently organized. The idea Is
for the merchant to wait on the farmer,
who is mortga ged up to his neck. The
farmer can deposit his cotton and draw
against it sufficient TO satisfy his creditor
until a final sale is made. The farmer
out of debt is able TO hold his crop, and
the man that owes only a small amount
Is able to holdover.
This movement Is intended 10 enable
the dependent planters to hold their crops
so that it may not be dumped on the
market ninety days after it is made. This
movement is intended to be the inaugu-
ration of plan to make it universal in
the cotton states. Macon was selected as
abe place for the convention, because of
its central location to the cotton belt
The farmers of each cotton county are
urged 10 meet at once and select dele
gates to the convention and notify N. r.
Hutchinson, secretary, LaGrange, Ga. The
railroads will give reduced rates"
This promises to be the most potential
movement in the interests of the farmers
ever organized in the South, as ID is pro-
jected on an entirely business line, free
from any idea of politics whatsoever.
