One Of the shrewdest serving men who
has come to light lately is a waiter fnthe
employ Of Whitaker Wright, a London
millionaire and director Of the London
and Globe Finance corporation. Mr..
Wright not long ago discovered that the
waiter was practically running d syndi-
cate on the strength Of remarks relating
to the mining transactions the millionaire
let fall at home. From the day that Mr.
Wright discovered it that syndicate be-
gan to experience q series of misfortunes,
and from that hour forth the face Of the
domestic, formerly so bright, became
more and more careworn. The ultimate
fate of the syndicate was what might
have been expected.-M. A. P.

A TOUCH.

A living coal, and with its glow
It touched another coal, when, 10,
The dark form into radiance grew,
And light and cheer beamed forth anew.
A loving heart, and with its love
1t touched another heart, which strovs
With adverse waves on troubled sea,
When oars were plying heavily,
And, 10, through rifted clouds Hope smiled.
And Love the WEAKNESS beguiled.
That living coal be mine to GLOW,
That living heart be mine to show,
While earth has sorrowing hearts that wait
The opening Of Redemption's gate.

15be Jeffersonian

Cornelius Hughes, the colored lead
err of the Independence League? It
simply means this, that Bryan, a
shrewd politician, saw that it was a
good time to capture the negro vote,
on account of President Roosevelt s
action in the Brownsville matter; he
utilized the opportunity. What his
election would mean toward retard-
ing the march towards white SUI
premacy in the South no man can
foresee. Why not rebuke the effort
Of Bryan to negroize the Democratic
party by breaking up the solid South
politically? Give your support to
a native born Southerner--one of the
South s greatest and most patriotic
citizens, Hon. Thomas Z. Watson. =

THE INDEPENDENCE PARTY.

If Hearst were to quit the In
dependence party, said party would
be dead that moment. Hearst fur
nishes the "dough" that is pay
ing the freight. Who furnishes it
to Hearstq Hearst is the party and
Hearst is in favor of the present
national bank money system and
wants to postpone government owner
ship Of railroads until the govern
ment proves its ability to run the
telegraph, which means that he
isn't q government railroad man.
Watson says Hearst is an ally OF
Hartman, the railroad king. We
became convinced some months ago
that he was in cahoots with j.
Pierpont Morgan and. Of course that
means Rockefeller also. We wait
ed and watched for six years to find
out what Hearst was driving at,
and especially wanted to learn
whether he was with Wall Street or
the people on the money question.
He ignored that question until last
Spring, when he came out in favor
of the present money system. 1t
dawned on us then that Hearst s
business was to take care Of the union
labor voters and see that they and
the farmers did not get together

A BAD DAY FOR GOMPERs.

Yesterday was a bad day for Com
pers. Several spokes we're placed in
his plan to deliver the labor vote. He
looks in his vest pocket and does not
find there what he told Bryan was
there.
The Cigarmakers Union, from
which Gompers formerly held work
ing card, has passed resolutions con-
demning Gompers and the executive
council of the American Federation
Of Labor for having by their action
s'retarded the progress Of organic
ed labor The district organization
Of the machinists, representing
eighteen locals and $4,000 members,
even more strongly assails the Com
pers delivery plan The hotel and
restaurant mems union, not salts
fed to lay on the table the request
Of Gompers for funds for Bryan,
passed a contemptuous resolution to
throw it "under" the table.
Gompers has affronted the conserva-
tive wing Of trades unionism, which
believes that the unions should con-
tinue their traditional abstention
from partisan politics, and which is
disposed to think that steady jobs at
high wages are more valuable than
the right to throw bricks when there
is a labor dispute. He has also
affronted the radical element of
trades unionism, which holds that
Debs and the Socialists are the true
saviors rather than Bryan and the
Democrats Adding to the uneasi=
ness Of Gompers was the hot shot
that Cannon fired against the pro-
position that certain men in this
country should possess rights not
possessed by their fellows.-New

THE OXFORD INCIDENT.

A negro cuts white woman IS
throat and undertakes to outrage her
innocent young daughter. The mob,
led by an ex-United States senator,
batters down the doors of the Jail
after three or four hours hard work,
shoots the negro to death and then
hangs him to telephone pole All.
without the least secrecy or STEALTH
ness. These fearful occurrences are

Don't tell us that the men Of the

It is only few months ago since
a Federal jury indicted one Peter s.
Grossup, the Federal Judge who
reversed Judge Lands $29,OOO,O0O
fine of Standard Oil. Indicted him
for being a stakeholder and director
IN an electric street car corporation
at NATION, Illinois, which corporation
was held to be criminally negligent
IN the killing of eleven of it's pas
sengers and crippling many Others.
Now if an ordinary grand jury can
thus indict a Federal Judge, how does
this same Judge get big enough TO
reverse another Fed Judge? In fact
this Judge business has got tangled
up until is mighty hard to tell who s
who.-Smith Center (Kan.) Mes

BRYAN AND BROWNSVILLE.

We are not wont to speak IN de-
rogation of candidates that we do
not support, but rather leave 1t to
others to do so, while we content our
selves with setting forth the reasons
why you should support our candl-
date. However, in the approaching
election for President, we feel that
we would be recreant to our plain
duty, did not we state few PLAIN
facts to our readers. Mr.. Bryan IS
catering to the negro vote, and II
elected will owe his election to the
negro.
In the South we have been en-
deayoring to eliminate the ignorant
negro voter from politics. We have
seen in the past the disastrous re-
suits Of negro participation in poll
tics. We have always been taught
that the Republican party was the
negro's best political friend, and the
Democratic party stood in a measure
for white supremacy.
Such has really been the case up to
now. Now, Mr.. Bryan, in the mad
greed for the high office to which he
aspires, is catering to the negro vote
in such a way that his election will
mean the Africanizing of the Demo-
cratic party.
What proof have we that this is
500 What means the support he IS
getting from the negroes9 What did
he say to that negro delegation that
went to him to know his position on
the Brownsville riot? He, himself,
has not said. The delegation went
away satisfied. Went away to work
for Bryan's election. What means

TOM WATSON IN BAINBRIDGE.

ACCORDING TO previous announce
ment the Populist leader and candi-
date for President, Hon. Thomas E.
Watson, held forth at the court house
yesterday. The weather was in
clement and fitful rains marked the
day, Notwithstanding, the auditorium
Of the court house was packed with
an expectant audience, all parts Of
the county being represented.
At eleven O'Clock the meeting con-
vened. Hon. Ben E. Russell, an old
time friend and conferee Of Mr.. Wat
son in the Georgia Legislature Of
1882.1883, when that distinguished
gentleman first entered the field of
political life, introduced him to the
audience.
In the crowd were many Of the old
line Populists who had supported Mr..
Watson from the formation Of that
party, and all seemed as intense and
loyal in their zeal to the party lead
er as they were in the halcyon days
of yore. Captain Russell briefly
epitomized the political and literary
record of Mr.. Watson in which he
was literally applauded. Upon
rising the Populist leader was greeted
with loud cheers, and the audience
settled itself to be entertained for an
hour and a half with rare treat on
political narration, wit, humor, in
vective and oratory.
He excoriated both Of the old
political parties. He showed up the
inconsistencies Of William J. Bryan,
whom he continually dubbed as evil
liam J. Peerless" much to the amuse-
ment Of his hearers. He told Of how
he and the Peerless were both ram
pant Populists in 1892 and supported
the national ticket headed by General
Weaver, and how numerous reforms
that have been accomplished by the
Democratic party were incubated by
the Populists. His picture Of the
utter political hopelessness Of the
South in following blindly the Demo-
cratic leaders Of the North in prefer
ence to her own, was not only pa
thetic but everlastingly true, and was
approved by his hearers.
In reply to the oft repeated charge
that he was leading a forlorn hope
with no expectation of ever being
elected president, he said that he
had been advocating the principles
of Populism for eighteen years, and
that if his life is spared he would be
found true to them eighteen years
more. He had considerable to say
about Jeffersonian Democracy, and
claimed that he was the only Demo-
crat in the race, with which statement
many in the crowd seemed to agree.
He spoke Of his consistent and
eternal fealty to the South, which was
loudly applauded,
Taken altogether Mr.. Watson made
a most favorable impression here
the people being in a very receptive
