The gubernatorial campaign should
not be allowed to become a factor in
the selection of local officers in any

Professedly neutral between the

It is ridiculous for auy candidate
for governor, or any of his friends,
to olaim a majority of the counties
at this stage of tho campaign. Peo
ple very often claim more than is
their due.
England aud Japan have entered
into a political alliance, and the gen
eral opinion is, that tho stability of
China is thereby assured. So far
unfavorable comment has not been
expressed by other governments.

The proposed issue of bonds for
the city of Macou was defeated by
vote of the people on Tuesday of
lost woek. At this distauoe it seems
that, the result is chiefly due. to the
editorial opposition of the Telegraph.
Col. James M. Smith, of Ogle
thorpe, probably the wealthiest far
mer in the state, is a • candidate for
the governorship of Georgia. If all
the Smiths in the state will vote for
him, his chanoes are decidedly good.
There was much snow in north
Georgia last Friday and Saturday,
and some aB far south as Maoon on
Sunday. On Monday there was an
exceptionally heavy Bnow storm in
New York and throughout the north
eastern states.
If it be true that oil has been dis
covered on Secretary Phil Oook’s
plantation in Lee county, he may
become a candidate for congress or
governor. He would have in abund
ance the wherewith to lubricate the
wheels of politics, you know.

The third anniversary of the Geor
gia Industrial Home, near Macon,
will be celebrated with appropriate
exercises next Saturday. On Febru
ary .22, 1899, the Home was opened
with three children, and now it con
tains 195, supported eutirely by pri
vate benevolence and their own in
dustry.
—Thes largest real estate deal
made in this locality in many
years was concluded last week
when Mr. W. M. Gordon sold his
Spivey plantation to Mr. B. P.
Starbuck. The farm is within l|
miles of Perry, on the road to
Elko, and embraces about 1100
iicres. We understand the consid
eration was $10,000. Mr. Star-
buck aud family will move into
their new home this week. They
Jtave been living on an adjoining
farm. What Mr. Gordon’s busi
ness plans are, lie has not yet dis
closed. Mrs. Gordon is visiting
her mother in Florida, and the
children are attending school at
Columbus.
Don’t Mix Them.
The state, congressional and coun
ty campaigns should be entirely sep
arate and- distinct as to the basis of
selection.
No candidate for county office
should in any degree be affected by
his choice of a candidate for gov
ernor. No voter should favor a can
didate for county office because that
candidate agrees with him in the
choice of a candidate for governor,
or other state office.
We are led to these remarks be
cause we know that in former cam
paigns county candidates in Hous
ton have been favored, or disfavor
ed, because of their attitude toward
the respective candidates for con
gress.
Such campaigning is unjust and
unwise, and perverts the purpose of
nomination by primary vote.
Each candidate should be subject
ed to a measure of merit, and by
that measurement alone he should
be chosen or rejected.
Coming Democratic Way.
Conditions and discussions in con
gress and in business feircles are be
ing combined to the political advan
tage of the democratic party.
Statistical reports disclose the fact
that products of trust corporations
in the United States have been sold,
and are being sold in foreign coun
tries at prices lower than the prices
at which the same goods are Bold in
the states and localities where man
ufactured. These products are pro
tected bv heavy duties upon tho im
portation of similar goods manufac
tured in other countries. This pro
tective tariff forcos consumers t;o pay
higher prices because of prohibited
competition.
The question is asked, “Why can
not American manufacturers sell at
homo as cheaply as they soil in for
eign countries?” The answer is that
the protective tariff gives them the
power of exacting their own prices
here, by prohibiting foreign compe
tition.
These facts disclose the righteous
ness of the democratic gntentiou
that the import tariffs should be lev
ied for revenue only.
If the democratic leaders are wise
they will make opposition to the re
publican protective tariff the chief
issue in the coming congressional
campaigns. Electing a majority of
representatives in the next congress,
the chances on this lino will be good
for gainiug victory in the next pres
idential campaign.
Of oourse anti-imperialism will be
an issue, but the chief and winning
contention must be “a tariff for rev
enue only.”
It is reported that Editor E. L.
Rainey of Dawson will be a candi
date for the legislature from Terrell
county. Editor Rainey is worthy
and well qualified, and if he is will
ing to sacrifice himself, the people
of Terrell oould not consistently fai)
to elect him. Lee is a native of
Houston county, and served his
newspaper apprenticeship in the
Home Journal office at Perry.
During the past year The Augusta
Herald has made rapid strides in the
newspaper world. Its plant has been
improved and added to until it now
has one of the model newspaper of
fices in tho south. In its news and
editorial columns, the same marked
improvement is shown. Aside from
its local news, its telegraphic aud
special service is among the best
furnished by southern newspapers.

The proposed government enter
tainment of Prince Henry of Prus
sia during his visit to the Uuited
States is contrary to the fundamen
tal principles of this Republic. It
would be equally antagonistic to the
spirit of our government for a mem
ber of our president’s family to at
tend the coronation of King Ed
ward of England as a special guest.
Some people think the visit of
Prince Henry of Prussia is the fore
runner of a proposition from Ger
many to purchase the Philippine
Islands.
Many prominent democrats seem
to think anti-imperialism should be
the chief democratic principle in the
next presidential campaign.

Gov, Taft, of the Philippine civil
commission, thinks the Filipinos

A Fireman's Close call-
“I stuck to my engine, although
every joint ached and every nerve
was racked with pain,” writes C.
W. Bellamy, a locomotive fire
man, of Burlington, Iowa., “I
was weak and pale, without any
appetite and all run down. A9 I
was about to give up, I got a bot
tle of Electric Bitters and, after
taking it, I felt as well as I ever
did in my life.” Weak, sickly
run down people always gain new
life, strength and vigor from
their use. Try. them. Satisfac
tion guarunteed. Price 50 cents
