* A FATAL MISTAKE. Savoyard, in Columbia State. * Nobody has explained it. The President does not understand it; the cabinet is amazed; the press is indignant; the public for once in our political history is a unit.. Mr. Bryan himself does flot know why he did it, and his manifestoes, "treading upon one another's heels,so ;'ust they follow," do not suffice. If he were not so great a man I would call each and everything he has said about It silly. Here Is an opinion about it and it is as good as any of 'em. In his father's house when Bryan was born the god of eloquence took lodgement and was a guest. Among the invited' to the subsequent christening were a numerous bevy of good fairies? one advanced and bestowed on the Infant strong lungs, another gave a dulcet tongue, another seductive voice, ahother tuneful speech, another a personal chastity such as Joseph's, another a quick, a brilliant and a versatile mind, another vigor of gymnastics to forensic debate, another animal magnetism to command the populace and fire the vulgar herd, another yet bestowed a superb physical constitution and athletic frame. - - But then and there present was an old witch, who had not been invited , to the festival. She In malice and with fatal power touched the infant with the decree, "He shall not have wisdom!" That's what's the matter with Bryan, though not quite all that Is the matter with Bryan. * H" * Mr. Bryan's lark of wisdom would be fatal in any event, but that flaw in his makeup could have been hidden. if not cured, had ho not been gifted or rather laden with an enormous vanity. I believe he is an honest man. 1 am not so sure that lie is always sincere?this because of his vanity. He is an idealist in greater degree than Jefferson himself was, but Jefferson's idealism was ballasted by the profouiulest wisdom that ever political publicist was gifted with. Bryan's idealism is like Joe Pickett's eagle?it soared so loftily that it split itself wide open. Now here is why Bryan left Wilson. Prior to the adjournment of the Baltimore convention Mr. Bryan had been "every man himself" in the Democratic party. What he said was gospel and was accepted by the majority and what he pronounced heresy was execrated by the majority. And so it was in 1904 when Mr. Bryan and his followers could have elected Alton B. Parker President nau iney given mm lovai support, l have no particular quarrel with him about that, for I have grown old enough to take human nature as a factor in my calculations. Let me get back to it. Wilson was nominated, and It is possible that such consummation was not in Bryan's calculations at Baltimore. That is a secret locked up in the bosom of Willam J. Bryan and I 4 would not profane the thing by looking the gift horse in the mouth. Wilson was elected, and In my poor opinion any other of the candidates before that convention, had he been nominated, would have been defeated. And had Mr. Bryan himself been then and there nominated his defeat would have been disastrous beyond measure. The thing was instinctive. The American people saw in Woodrow "Wilson their Ideal. They accepted him. thev made him their own. H? is theirs today and they are not going to part with him till his job is done in this world, after which God will take him to heaven. We servants of the Lord, who have faith, are blessed in the confidence that the day of his "labors o'er" is yet long distant. ? * But to get back. Mr. Wilson is not only the profoundest political think?r of his time, he is also the most consunynate practical politician of DOINGS OP THE fro io ano Jiae. vm.

TO END DEMONSTRATIONS. Ixnupn u Statement in Which He 1 Tolls Why Ho Kept Troops on Guard at Slaton Homo. Atlanta, June 29.?With the departure of ex-Governor Slaton for a I trip to the Pacific coast last night and the withdrawal of militia from the Slaton home the troubles folio wi ing the commutation of Let. Frank's death sentence appear to have passed. Governor Harris will decide what Is tc be done with the 2 6 nen arrested near the Slaton home Saturday. .The four men arrested Monday were released this morning. Governor Nat E. Harris, on Moni day afternoon, issued a stateme.u to the public in which he explained his j position in relation to the condition j existing at the time he became goveri nor which necessitated his holding j the state troops at the residence of ; ex-Governor Slaton. I This condition, he explains, as now ' I being a tiling of the past, and asks, ' as iiis first request as governor, to I the people of Georgia, that there he j no repetition of the demonstrations. GOVERNOR S STATKMEXT. His statement is as follows: "To the People of Georgia: I have thought it not improper to make a statement to the people concerning the manifestation of resent-i ment recently shown towards my predecessor on account of the Frank ; case. "The action of tin* governor in that ! r:\se has become a matter of past his- j tory; nevertheless, the conditions which existed at the time of my en- j trance into office made it necessary, at the request of the sheriff of Fulton county, reinforced by the opinion of the adjutant general of the state, to continue the state militia on guard for the time being within the limits over which martial law had been proclaimed. One of my first official tino on oaiumuj au?ruuon was an inquiry into ?lie necessity for doing this. "On Sunday morning, the sheriff of the county, Mr. Mangum. requested me to keep the militia on guard for another twenty-four hours and on the showing made by him of his reasons thereafater. I have great confidence in his Judgment and I could j not afford to take on myself to follow any other course.' "This is now as I have said before, ' a matter of the past, and I hope there ' will be no further necessity for any | such intervention in the future. "I am sorry that the state of affairs arose which necessitated such action on the part of the state while I was in office. I think that protest, denunciation and other similar measures which express the people's feelings, if followed out in a decent and orderly way, cannot be controlled, but at the same time I am fixed in mv belief that no one, however, aggrieved he may feel himself to be, has the right to take the law into his own hands or force the state to stand guard against violent assaults upon his generation. He had the sagacity to see, what Cleveland could not see, that if he would put Democratic policies into the law he must unite Democratic factions. Hence he took Mr. Bryan into his cabinet. He was absolutely sincere, and I make no doubt that Bryan was equally sincere. Certainly they worked together, and if Democratic political economy is worth a rap these two working together will prove it. Well, Wilson held the centre of the stage, not because he wanted to ?he cared not a bit for it?but because he had to as President. And there you are. : VAN LOONS [ /-OviT A, MiNVTR. \ | fs\K,r%U.

Very few people realize how hard j the press of the South has been hit x since the war began. s A local paper receives its revenue , from "foreign" advertising, local ad- \ vertlsing and subscriptions. g Foreign advertising is advertising received from mail order houses. . patent medicine firms, etc., from out- | | side the immediate territory covered , by the publication and such adver- | Using has to a large extent been can- ( celled because of the impression that . there is little buying power in the South at this time. Local advertising has been seriously curtailed because many of the local merchants have been in tight places because of their inability to collect accounts due by farmers. The papers must therefore, depend at this time largely upon subscriptions and we appeal to the mill people of every town or village to aid their local papers to weather this storm by paying what they owe their local paper on subscription or sending them a new subscription. A local paper is an asset to every town and village and knowing the serious financial condition of most of them at present we make this appeal in their behalf. Every dollar counts with a local paper now and the amount of the I subscription of ths mill population would tide over many of them.
