• It will be remembered how
extremely anxious lion. Jake
Wolters was to engage Morris
Sheppard in joint debate upon
the tariff question before the
latter withdrew from the sena-
torial race. Mr. Wolters was
“Jumping-up-and down” for the
debate, so to speak. Our under-
standing is that the Hon. Cone
Johnson holds about tke same
tariff views as did Mr. Sheppard.
We have heard quite a number
express a desire for a debate be-
tween those gentiemen’upcn the
vanced, impatient for
iniative in the matter. Mr.
Wolters now appears to have lost
interest in debates. He seems
more inclined to air his tariff
views in a solitary manner, with
nc one to interfere. He is dis-
tressingly silent about debates.
Come forth from your innoxious
desuetude Bro. Jake and extend
Col. Randell and M r. Johnson an
invitation to participate in a.
thre-cornered discussion of the
issues of the day. Livefup the

The city officials have been
making efforts to have the town
properly cleaned up so as to
prevent sickness if possible.
There has been so much rain re-
cently that the cleanup campaign
was interfered with to some ex-
tent. But we think there will
be some fair weather now, and
every one interested in the health
and welfare of our little city
should thoroughly clean up about
hi* premises. We believe the
city officials will continue their
efforts along that line. Let the
slogan be: A cleaner Gilmer.
