"AS TO JIM GRIGGS."

Whatever may be said of Jim
Grlggs, of Dawson, it is at least
not likely to be forgotten that the
mention of his name stampeded
a parker caucus, and swept it
out of faction into a whirlwind
tribute to a popular and misre-
presented Georgian.
At the Parker caucus last
night the only real and enduring
enthusiasm manifested was over
the mention of the popular con-
gresham from the second dis
trict. And the spontaneity and
universally of the enthusiasm
clearly demonstrated that Jim
Griggs was the most popular
man in the convention Atlanta
News.
It did not demonstrate any
thing of the kind, but it did de-
monstrate that he is no better,
broader, bigger man that he was
eight years ago when he hired
men at so much per to go into a
hall to cheer and c1aque for him
The demonstration in the ball
room at the Kim ball house did
not fool anybody. He had as
sem bled his friends there for
the purpose, purpose no de.
cent politician would have per.
mitted in their name.
It was all arranged and well
understood that demonstra-
ton in his favor must be effected''
Any cheap politician could have
brought about the same result,
but it would be cheap politician
indeed who would resort to such
a scheme.
The fight against Griggs has
been won and we have no dispo-
sltlon to pursue him, but mis-
misrepresentation is as wrong
now as it would have been before
the convention, and the above
quotation from the Atlanta News
is purely a misrepresentation
and is misleading.

In explaining Mr.. Hearst's de-
feat in Georgia, leading Hearst
and Bryan paper uses the follow
ing remarkable language:
Mr.. Hearst was the legatee of
Bryan's unpopularity."
Can it be true that we have at
last come to the acknowledge
ment that Bryan is unpopular
in Georgia?
The Bryan of 1896.
The Bryan of free silver be-
come unpopular in Georgia?
The thought brings us back
to the days of wild cat theories
and wild eyed champions of the
down trodden people, the days of
the demagogue.

It is public talk in Fitzgerald
that Bro. Mercer has mayoralty
aspirations. Well, if he has,
that's all right. Fitzgerald could
easily do much worse-Oci1la
Dispatch.
The public talk" grows out
of the vain imaginings of those
who do the talking. We have
not discussed the subject with
any living person, and we are
not on speaking terms with the
dead.
We have been approached on
the subject, about two years
ago. A committee of promi-
nent colonist urged us to stand
for election and we declined on
the ground that it would be a
mistake to elect any but a north
ern man to the Office of Mayor.
We believed that it was impor-
tant to keep prominent the fact
that this community of northern
people had at their head a north.
ern man.

The Atlanta News persists in
being wrong. It's chagrin at
defeat leads it into a misrep-
resentation of facts.
In it's account of the work of
the convention, on the first page
of Thursdays paper the News
says;
The full test of the Parker
sentiment was had on the report
of the platform committee.
The editor of the News knew
that to be a misrepresentation.
The Parker sentiment was not
unanimous but it was over
whelming, aud many of the del
egates, enthu siastic Parker men
opposed instruction. The
vote on the report Of the platform
committee was not even a full
test of the instruction sentiment.
The p counties represented
on the committee, most of them
bound by the report the COM
mittee had made, therefore, were
prevented from voting for N
structions, and every we'll in
formed man in that convention
realized that had a minority re-
port been made by the platform
committee favoring instructions
mat the vote would have been
oyerwbelming."

TOM LOYLESS ON A STRETCHER.
In meeting Saturday of the
Richmond county delegates to
the state convention a resolution
that the delegation vote to call
upon the convention to send a
delegation to St. Louis instruct
ed for Parker was thrown in the
waste basket.
Immediately Delegate Tom
Loy1ess dropped dead and they
had to carry him out on stretch
err,
Soon after the meeting, and
not knowing that Loyless was
dead, Judge Parker telegraphed
to Tom as follows:
"What are you doing for me 10
Richmond county?"
Loyless still being dead, Henry
Cabaniss wired the following
reply to Parker:
"Just nothin', Judge, and
damned little of that!"-Macon

Still, some people will consider

We fear something serious
will befall Colonel T. w. Loyless

names Congressman Griggs as

From present indications it
would seem as though the Parker
forces are to make a grand stand

yention. But we still have faith
to believe they won't succeed

We have always admired the
Atlanta journal as progressive
newspaper, and we feel real
sorry for James II. Gray & Co.

they realize fully that the scheme

only a dream, and that they did
not have the goods to deliver

WILL BORROW IN APRIL.
The State Spends Its Money Before Ii Is
in Hand-Will Borrow Up To
Legal Limit.

Columbia. March I6.--lt is rath-
er a curious commentary upon the
finances of the state that the borrow
ing OF money will have to begin as
early as April. This does not mean
that the state is embarrassed or that
irswill not meet its just and proper
obligations, but it means that the
state spends its money before it is
actually in hand. The expectation
is that the state pensions to Confed-
crate soldiers will be paid during
the latter part of April. and when
ever these pensions are paid the
state will have to borrow. The
statutes allow the borrowing of
100000. with which to meet the
payment OF pensions. and at least
half. and very probably all, of this
fund will have to be borrowed and
interest paid on it until next year.
Moreover, it will not be long before
the state will have to borrow more
money, as it will not have sufficient
money on hand with which to meet
current expenses, and at the same
time meet the July interest on the
State debt. The state will have to
borrow money at greater rate OF
interest than it is paying on its
bonds. BY next January the state
will have to borrow up to the legal
linit-S5oo.ooo- according to
present calculations.
The Appropriation Act carries
more money with it than hereto
fore. and the new methods OF
raising additional revenue-the
franchise tax, the dog tax and the
like-will not be available in time
10 avoid the maximum amount OF
borrowing.

STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
Will Meet On I'D to Call Democratic Con-
venti0n and to Provide for Primary
In the Late Mr.. Croft'S District.

Gen. Willie Jones. chairman of
the state democratic executive COM
mittee, has issued an official call for
a meeting of the committee, to be
held in Columbia, in the secretary
OF states Office, at Sp. m. on March
p for the purpose of calling state
convention. which is merely a mat
ter of form. and the principal busi-
ness is the ordering Of a primary
in the ed district. to choose a sue
cessor to the late Hon. George w.
Croft, and fix the dates for holding
the same.
Governor Hevward has issued
an official order for a general cleo
ton on May y, this being made
mandatory By the state constitution.
The ed district is composed OF
the counties OF Aiken. Bamberg,
Barnwell, Beaufort, Edgeheld,
Hampton and Saluda. seven in all,
and the arrangement tor the can
vass of these counties by the candi-
dates and the fixing of the dates
for the primaries, for there will be
more than one. is a rather difficult
task. 1t has been suggested that
the committee fix the first primary
for March 81, and the next for
April 1o, and the third, if another
be necessary, for May 3. This would
give all candidates time to arrange
for their canvass, and the last pri-
mary would be held on May 3,
which is the required two weeks be-
fore the general election.
So far there have been no furth-
er announcements. and the list pub
lished recently about covered all of
the men who were thinking of en-
tering the race. unless Mr.. Croft
son decides to become candidate.
