WATSON WILL NEVER RISK 1T.

Probably the best way to dispose
of the Watson issue would be for
Watson to run for governor himself. Sc
Macon Evening News.
Yes, undoubtedly, but Tom Watson
is not such fool as to put himself
in political jeopardy in any such fash
ion. He realizes, just as we'll as any
one else in Georgia does, that there
is all the difference in the world
between holding the balance of power
politically and having enough power
TO elect oneself to office. Holding the
balance makes him a power before
whom politicians must bow To go
before the people as a candidate him
self would mean his overwhelming
reputation at the polls Watson will
never permit himself to be placed in
such a position.
Such being the case. perhaps Tom
Hardwlck's suggestion that some
strong man make the race on a dis
tlnctly anti-Watson platform may be
the next best thing. 1t is doubtless
useless to expect such a candidate in
the present race, but hereafter that
would seem to be the best plan to
eliminate Watson from his position OF
dictatorship. Let him have a candi-
date labeled "Watson's man." and let
candidate run as opposed to Wat
sons controlling influence, and then
the public can decide for itself wheth-
er it wants him to retain his present
position in Georgia politics or not.
But as for Tom Watson running him
self, there is little reason to believe
the public will ever see that. Watson
does not propose to subject himself
to the humiliation of such a repudia.
ton as the mass of the democratic
party would give him with their bal
lots in such a contest as that woull |
be.

RICHES IN SUMTER COUNTY SOIL

We have all known that there Is
wealth in the soil of Sumter county,
but we have always regarded it as
the wealth that comes from crops in
diligently raised. Ample evidences
of that fact are to be seen around us
in the shape of prosperous planters,
men who own fine farms and have
substantial bank accounts, and who
are recognized as men of means and
esteemed as successful in their line.
But the recent discoveries in the
Andersonville district would seem to
indicate that there are other forms or
wealth in Sumter county soil than
those that come from seed time and
harvest. The bauXite deposits are
described by the state geologist as
having considerable commercial i'm
portance The lands on which these
deposits have been located were cheap
| lands, speaking agriculturally, but
they have had a tremendous rise in
value since their possibilities as min
eIal lands have been discovered
Judging from Prof. McCallie's reports
the deposits are large, of high quail
ty and give every evidence of Offering
large remuneration to the miners.

WOMEN IN COURT WERE
AS GOOD AS A SHOW

People attending police court at
z O'Clock last night were treated to
a show which, for amusement, riv-
allied many of a vaudeville style ex-
hibited hereabouts, when a case of
Mrs. Celia Wolpiansky against Mrs.
Morris Goldstein was tried. The
complainant and defendant and their
witnesses talked at one time
throughout the hearing except for
intervals when Recorder Kehoe
wrapped for order. 1t was impossi-
BILE to get an understanding of the
case because of incessant talking in
several languages. Lawyer Leo
Goldberger spoke and the court
thereby cleaned that there had been
a hair pulling match between the
women. Each was placed under
$50 bonds to keep the peace.
Mrs. Goldstein was accused of
having slammed a box over the head
of Mrs. Wolpiansky when the latter
came into her store with some
goods which Mrs. Wolpiansky said
she had purchased III her husbands
store. Mrs. Wolpiansky conducts a
clothing store at 685 State street.

seventy-six members present to
adopt the platform of the new Pro-

ton of that party at Chicago August
8. The new club is enthusiastic

field at the November election and,
If such a course is decided upon. is
