Georgia Baptists Pass
Resolutions

In response to call, a large num-
Der of representative citizens OF
Winder and the surrounding country
met in the town hall of Winder at
$3.50 p. m. Rev. IN. Shed, a Bap-
tist minister, was called to the chair,
he having been elected chairman.
Mr.. S. J. Maughon, merchant of
Winder, was elected secretary.
After a statement from the chair
man of the object of the meeting,
with reference to the arrest of Hon.
Thos E.. Watson by the United
States Government, the chairman
on resolutions: Rev. William Dun
bar, pastor of the Methodist Church,
South, in Winder; w. c. Maddox
and r. T. Semore.
The following resolutions were
read by Mr. Dunbar as chairman of
the committee:
Whereas, we have learned,
through the daily press, that one of
our most distinguished fellow-citi-
zens, and free-born American, the
Hon. Thos. e. Watson, of Thomson,
Ca, a true son of Georgia, and an
undaunted champion of the rights
and liberties of the people, has been
recently arrested by the United
States Government, ostensibly for
violation of the postal laws of said
Government, but we think and be-
1ieve it was for his outspOken and
fearless uncovering of the hidden
hand of the Ronnsh Hierarchy in the
affairs of our Government; and,
Whereas, we feel it is time for the
Protestant people of this Republic,
without regard to UNCONVENTIONAL
affiliations or political predictions,
should be heard from; and,
Whereas, we feel that if a halt is
not soon called, and our people
made to see the danger overshadow-
ing this fair land of ours, purchased
for us by the price of the sacred
blood Of our ancestors, we shall
soon be where it will be too late to
awake.
Be it therefore resolved, by this
mass meeting assembled, That we
extend to the Hon. Thos. e. Watson
our moral support and sincere SYM
pathies in this hour Of his trials and
troubles.
We also call, with clarion blast,
othe Protestant people of the Ma
ton and State, to awake before it is
too late, that in the years to come,
that they see to it that no further
encroachments are made upon the
liberties Of the people, by this mon

In consequence of Post-office De-
partment order that post-offices must
be situated within a quarter OF a
mile of railroad stations a number of
our contemporaries have thrown back
their heads and howled. The New
York Times, whose town would no
doubt be considerably Inconvenience
without mail, complains that 'since
some cities have more than one rail-
road station, 1t would seem that there
must be more than one post-office."
The Post-office Departments idea, Of
course, is to saddle the railroad COM
panies in every case with the expense
of transportation between railroad
and post-office, which under existing
law devolves upon the companies
wherever the distance does not exceed
one-quarter of a mile. Its course I'm

claiming that these positions are de-
mandiRg a change. OF course the Pc
tltioners will be misrepresented. but
do hn
the signatures have been secured?
The idea is by this concert OF action
to bring such pressure upon Presi-
dent Wilson that he will annul the
existing law-this array OF dissatis-
faction 60 coming from the ranks.
They say that Wilson can easily do
it-that ii is a "one-man law" and
"one man can annul it." etc.
To be sure this is putting a very
low estimate upon the character OF
their President and CHASING him
with the smallest peanut politicians.
But again. what do they care. They
do not seem to remember. or TO
know, that the civil service regime
was begun by a Democratic Prest
dent, Mr. Cleveland, and been up
held by his successors, as promoting
the best interests of the government.
1t is to be expected under the
"spoils system" that positions not I'M
der civil service will, as their terms
expire, be filled with Democrats. but
there will hardly be any such shak
ing up as the little politicians hone
for.
It is understood that a majority OF
the rural carriers of North Carolina
at least, are Democrats. Should the
present law be annulled, they, with
many others, would be left cruelty
unprotected If / remember correct
ly, the Democratic member of the
civil service commission was in the
South a few years ago making
speeches on the excellences of the
service and urging Democrats 10 take
the examinations and enter into the
service.
Should Mr.. Wilson, If he has au
thority, annul the present law, its
effect could only be temporary. He
could not be expected to re-enact il
before his term expires. 1t is not
likely that the great party of the peo-
pie whose unfortunate division in
the last campaign defeated their own
party will re-enact the same tragedy.
