Engel was not at the game to-day, as
he was feeling indispOsed, and when
seen at his home in bed tonight, said
that he had no statement to make, ex-
cept that he would enter a sweeping
denial of charges. and he would see
the players tomorrow and get from
them statement as to whether or not
they wrote the letters. which it is al
legged they wrote.

Macon win the pennant,' he said. I'VE
tried hard to win in that last series,
but just look at the number of Grip
pies we had. The team played the best
ball of which it was capable, and this
will be verified by the score"
Mr.. Engel declares that he has the
very kindest feeling for the Macon
team. and so have all the members of
the Columbia team. but that it no rea-
son why we should lay down the

Parker of New York, rather than a
fellow Georgian? What do you know
of Parker? What has he done that
was notable? What has he ever said
that was memorable? What has he
ever written that stamped him with in
dividuality?
Hills Declaration.
David B. Hill declared at st. Louis
that he had been intimate with Par
ker for thirty years, and that he did
not know how Parker stood on the
money question. Was this statement
true? If so, Parker is the most mega

tinent. Was the statement false? If
So David B. Hill is the boldest liar
between the two oceans. Think of a
man living on intimate terms with
Alec Stevens and Abe Lincoln for thir-
ty years and not knowing how he
stood on the greatest political ques-
tions of the day.
Democrats are told that they must
support the national ticket this time,
and that we will all go to work for
reform after the election. 1t is the
same Old cry, Vote for us this time!'
How can any man reasonably hope
to secure reforms in the Democratic
party when we see 1t bossed by the
same old Wall street crowd which de-
bauched Clevelands second admins
tration? Bryan has been fighting for
reform inside the party and is further
off from success than ever before. At
St. Louis every empty honor that was
worth absolutely nothing was given TO
Southern leaders. In return for child
ish gratifications-chai etc.
they delivered both the South and
the West to Wall street Southern

fathers and into political slavery to

An Alternative of Hill.
IF national Democratic leaders had

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF IN
BASEBALL AS IN OTHER THINGS


York money kings have placed upon
the neCks of both the two old parties.
The time once was when the South was
led to greatness who were not tired Of
being in the minority who nobly
sought 10 know what was right, and
then fought for it with all their
strength. Once our glory was to fol-
low leaders who cried Liberty or
death, and we showered houors upon
the ragged, half-starved soldier, who
marked the path of duty with the blood
Of his naked feet.
Better far TO stand in the minority
in the outer darkness. with the stars
of heaven smiling down upon you, and
the infinite peace of God in your heart
than to hold a guilty seat in the
banquet hall Of the victors, whose tri-
umph fills your soul with the damning
conviction that you have helped at
the victory Of wrong"
Electors Were Chosen.
The address was delivered at the
closing session of the State Conven-
ton of the Georgia Populists, which
met this afternoon, selected electors
and Endorsed the nomination of Mr..
Watson for the presidency. The eiec-
tors chosen were the following:
AT Iarge-John H. Sibley, Of Talbot,
and w s Weir. of Fulton.
First District-R. Lee Moore; Second,
Jesse Ward; Third, C. Montgomery;
Fourth, Bion Williams; Fifth, w. T.

Seventh, W. H. Nally; Eighth. John
P. Brightwell Ninth. j. P. Brooke;
| Tenth. L. D. McGregor; Eleventh, ID.
| r, Johnson.
The convention was called to order
by State Chairman J. J. Holloway,
/ and Judge j. K. Hines of Atlanta was
made permanent chairman. In his
! opening address, Judge Hines spoke
/ strongly against fusion with the Demo-
! cratic party. He said that Democrats
| had appealed to the Peoples Party Tor
| aid in the past, but that the Populists
! and Democrats no longer travel the
/ same paths. He said:
There is a solid South and solid
! North. kept solid by sectionaism. We
are the first party that ever crossed
| in safety the bounds of sectionalism.
| We are the first party ever to cross
| Mason and Dixons line for presden-
| tial candidate. We are the first party
that ever had the courage to come
! South for either a head or tail to
the national ticket"

me the original every time, rather than
the blurred. indistinct copy. Give me
the genuine article, rather than the
spurious substitute. Especially in
Georgia are the people not bound to
support Parker for the reason that they
were not consulted in the appointment
of delegates. The people of Georgia
were for William r. Hearst, the I'M

party bosses were against Hearst.

Some problems have to be taken ND
anew by each generation, and one of
these is the relation of the nervous sys-
tenn to atmospheric conditions. General
humidity is a by-word in this part of
the world and is recognized as hav-
ing an appreciate influence on our
feelings regardless of the temperature
Temperature itself has a direct bearing
on mankinds comfort or discomfort,
promising, Of course. that he is suit
ably clad. However, they say that in
South Australia it is possible to work
in an office. without electric fans, with
shade temperature of lis degrees
Fahrenheit, while in India, despite the
adoption of the lightest of garments,
life is burden with the temperature
at 95 degrees in the shade. In this
latitude the thermometer is equally
incOnclusive as a guide to mans com
fort. Comparatively moderate temper
atures. with certain atmospheric condi-
tons, are insufferable, while there are
days with really high temperatures
that are quite enjoyable. Occasionally
an attempt has been made to reduce
the factors that go to make up atmos-
pheric variation to a scientific basis
One relation that has been advanced
establishes a zero of comfort, that COW
ers the condition of the body when
suitably dressed and no personal dis
comport is experienced, and a
maximum of discomfort of 10.
and maximum of discomfort
arising under any atmospheric
condition is a function of the tenn
perature as measured by the ordinary
thermometer. and the temperature reg
istered by a wet-bulb thermometer,
which indicates the relative degree of
humidity, or of moisture in the at
mosphere. A modifying factor to COW
err the state of the wind is also en-
braced in the equation. The Monthly
Weather Review, in discussing the de-
finite relation between physiological
condition and the temperature, mois-
ture, wind or other atmospheric con-
dition declares that the preparation
and study of curves embodying these
factors seem to offer the most practical
method Of recording and studying the
relation Of the weather to the condi-
tion of the nervous system.
