~ remarked 1t is related of him that
he dropped into the business depart

inquiry about something that had &C.
CURED to him, and a young man who
had been in his employ only few
months undertook in a loud tone of
voice to enlighten him.
What did you say?" asked Mr.. Me-
dill, putting his hand to his ear.
The young man repeated the ques-
ton in still louder voice
Il can't hear you, said the editor.

his job but the great editor probably
thought that the lesson he had re-
ceived was sufficient and did not dis

It seems to me, according to this section,
that the county school commissioner would be
elected by the qualified voters Of said county
instead Of by the Board of Education, as now
practiced. It seems to me, also, that the
ordinarys term should be two years instead
of four, so as to be uniform, although the Of

Why this seeming irregularity in county Of

III EOE Of GGORNTlA.
After consulting with leading members of
our party throughout this State and knowing
the attempt Of certain political manipulators4
whose desire is, as they state, FFto bury Hon.
Thomas E. Watson" we think it our duty
to call upon our people and urge them to see
to it that they do not carry out their pur-
poses
Hon. Thomas E. Watson is our presidential
candidate The principles for which he stands
are not satisfactory to certain elements. His
strong convictions for right do not suit certain
people. Because he has called upon Governor
Smith to make good his promises to the people,
and stated his case so plainly that no intelli-
gent man can fail to see his reasons, that
particular crowd Of politicians are endeavoring
now, as they say in their own words, to bury
Mr.. Watson and populism SO deep they will
never be resurrected
Now, brother Populists, if we believe in the
principles which We have advocated and for
which we have fought for the last fifteen
years, are we going to sit idly by and allow
these politicians to accomplish their purpose?
We do not believe that you will be party
to this funeral which they want to conduct
and the principal Of which they desire to
make our peerless defender Of Jeffersonian
Democracy, Honorable Thomas E. Watson.
On July 9 the notification committee of the
National Peoples Party Convention will meet
IN Atlanta to notify Hon. Thomas E. Watson
Of his nomination for President Mr. Watson
will make his speech Of acceptance at this
meeting.
July 9, 1908, will be memorable day in
this glorious old State, provided the Populists
of Georgia do not allow Mr.. Watson and his
followers to be "buried.''
We again call upon the Populists of Geor-
gla to rally to standard bearer. Hold up
his hands He has given his reasons plainly
why he cannot support the Hon. Hoke Smith
for governor. His reasons are plain, logical
and unanswerable, and we urge Georgia Pop
ulists to assert their manhood and resent the
insult. to them and their Presidential Can
didate. -

Hon. Thos. E. Watson:
Was very much interested in the communi-
cation Of "Subscriber, Of Lake Providence,
in the Jeffersonian of the 30th of April He
asks: "Cannot our great statesmen counsel
together and agree on platform that will ap-
peal to the good judgment of all?"
If by the term "great statesmen Sub
scriber means the average Of political leaders,
we believe they will not do anything Of the
kind. We believe that any move toward uni
ty of action in the interest of the people,
must be made by the people themselves. To
Subscriber" you respond: "This is in the
right spirit, but how is the union to be brought
about?" Our reply would be, by united ac-
ton on the part of all those who oppose the
actions Of the two old political parties, sub
hitting all minor differences to referendum
vote Of those who will pledge themselves to
abide by the will Of the majority and carry
out the same. We believe this to be hardly
possible during the present campaign. We
believe more educational work will be effect
ed this fall than in any previous campaign.
We believe that the effect of this education
will be to prepare the people for unity Of po-
litical action, amplifed, as it will be, by the
oppression of combined capital in great cor
porations and the grating politicians, by
their usurpation of power, and the open IA
voritism shown by some Of the courts by their
rulings in favor Of the capitalist and against
the common people, will 60 a thousand times
farther to convince the mass Of the people
that the time has arrived when they must
unite, than all the reformers; that they must
take such action as will insure the election in
1912 Of officials Of this government who will
be true, who will run the government in the
interest Of the people and save the republic
1t will not be too soon to begin the work
by calling a conference Of representatives Of
the rank and file to assemble, say at Chicago
or Kansas City, as after the results Of
the election are known as to give time for a
general call to circulate In the light of these
existing circumstances it should be compare
lively easy to formulate plan We respect
fully submit these views for your considera-
ton.

A CARD.
Wipe off che Slate.

Editor Jeffersonian:
Fifty-three years ago I was born on an
old red hill in Greene county. Since I became
twenty-one I have been legal voter. Each
two years I have voted for my choice of can
didates for governor. This time in the June
primary fail to see that there is any choice
for me to take up to this good hour. AS to
Governor Smith, personally heard him in
Macon, in Fitzgerald and in Greensboro COM
NIT himself with all the power Of his great
eloquenee against an early primary, charging
that the ring rule crowd used it as snap judy
ment on the masses. I felt the force Of it.
What do I find before his term of office is
fairly begun9 The committee with his in
dorsement, az [ understand it, ordered June
the 4th primary, in which he seeks another in
dOTsement for a second term.
He must have known and Endorsed the rev.
dictionary ruling, giving counties with large
cities an unfair, un-democratic, and an I'M
constitutional advantage over the country
counties, but | must stop, for his sins Of omis-
sion and commission are numerous and great,
and do not want to vote for him as my gov
ernor. AS to Mr.. Brown, a nice, pleasant gen
tleman, I suppose; but his candidacy must
be engineered by great private interests and
he is only human, a good card writer (for
which [ admire him) but I do not see my
way clearly to vote for him; SO I must cut
off the head Of my ticket, but I want a gov
ernor and Georgia's law says that in October
the legal voters Of my beloved state shall
elect one, and I must obey the law or sulk
We want our Executive Mansion occupied
and the duties of office performed; it would
be a glorious innovation to have the office
seek the man without his making any personal
campaign, for much speaking bewilders a
man.
Georgia wants q clean, conservative, un-
brammeled, business administration. To get
lt, / for my own motion, without his knowl-
edge Or consent, but exercising the right Of
every Georgian, nominate Col. John C. Hart
Of Union Point, Ca, our present attorney gen.
eral, not to test his party fealty, but his state
loyalty.
We are not looking for divine call, but
want human call. If enough legal Georgia
voters will spend one penny for postal card,
and write me at Union Point, R. 2, that they
will join me at their several voting precincts
on election day in October in voting for rati-
fcation Of the disfranchsement bill and John
G. Hart for governor, we will save the state
from tricks that are dark and disgusting, and
l will, at my own expense, buy book and
record each name as a member Of the Georgia
Club of untrammeled veters, and may the God

Advises Deliberate Action.

The Shinpo, which agrees with al
the Japanese that eventually the ques
ton of supply and demand will force
up the wage scale, advises making
haste slowly and prints the following
letter commenting its course. 1t says:
"The Nippu stands for immediate
increase of wages, while the Shinpo
advocates a careful treatment of the
subject and peaceful methods. The
opinions advanced by these two papers
have each their own merits; and
neither of the contemporaries is oppos-
ing the increase of wages, but widely
differing between the two is the
method or means to be adopted to
reach the goal.
"Advocates for higher wages, of
which the writer is one, are not neces-
sarily the supporters of the radical ad-
vice of the Nippu. For an illustration,
one advices his countrymen to reach
New York by jump, while the other
advises to take a steamer. go first TO
San Francisco, take train again in
order to reach the very identical city.
The latter step is slower, but surer.
There is nothing that is accomplished
unless II Is zone III proper time, pace,
and by appropriate method. The ad-
vocates for immediate increase of
wages try to jump over in leap with
out waiting TO consider the means, be
ing so irritated over the subject which
they have taken up only a few days
ago that they can not have time to
think.
ga careless thinker always cries for
the immediate accomplishment of his
plan and keeps on crying and bowling
louder and louder until he loses his
head. The man who only talks is not
the man who accomplishes. Therefore,
the true benefactors of the japanese
laborers are the men who carry out
their objects with deliberate sense and
reason.
