PRICE, 11,60A TEAR, IN ADVANCE. Published Every Thursday Morning. no.H. HODGES, Editor and Publisher Perky, Thursday, October 2. Republican leaders are not har monious in their campaign speeches. -*-•-« The next Georgia legislature will convene on October 22ud, the fourth Wednesday. On Monday of last week Presi dent Roosevelt was in Canada a short while, on' a pleasure ride up the river from Detroit. A considerable variety of opinion exists among republican speakers concerning the effect of the present tariff schedules upon trusts. A report from London says that Henry Phipps of New York has sent to Gen. Botha $100,000 for the re lief of destitute Boers in South Af rica. It is reported from Montgomery that a fruit grower at Gastlebury, Ala., realized a net profit of $1,060 from three acres of strawberries last season. Next Wednesday, October 8 th, the interstate fair begins at Atlanta and will continue through tha 25th. One fare for the round, trip over the •Central. Nearly all the cotton mills of the uouth have formed a business com bination under one general manage ment, with a capital valuation of $25,000,000. The Georgia Poultry Herald, for merly owned and edited by Mr. W. Hemingway of Perry, is now pub lished at Wayoross, Ga., as the “Southern Poultry Courier." • —— Gens. Botha, DeWett aud DeLa- ry, leaders in the late Boer war in South Afrioa, have determined to visit the United States and make an extended tour of this country. In Atlanta the primary for mayor was held Wednesday, and though the'news has not reached this office, we venture the assertion that Oapt, Evan P. Hdwell was nominated, The landing of marines on the Isthmus of Panama to protect mer cantile interests of citizens of the United States, has oaused much dis cussion in Europe.

A formal request reached Wash ington last week from Havana for the withdrawal of the United States troops now in Cuba. When Cuba was relinquished to the government of that republic oighfc companies of tJ| S. cavalry remained on duty to care for the coast defenses. • ...... Next Tuesday the Farmers’ Na tional congress will convene at Ma- •oon and oontinue daily until Friday night. Delegates from nearly every ■ tftate of the Union will attend. A street fair will be in operation all iha week. One fare for the round trip over the Central and other rail roads. Exceptionally cheap excursion rates are now given to eastern ^points via the Central railroad and steamer from Savannah. From Ma con to New York the roandtrip rate is $26.60; to Baltimore and return from Fort Valley, $17.10. This rate includes meals and berth on board steamship. „ Ex-Senator Hill seems to have complete control of the democratic Forces in New York, and he may ^lave been nominated for governor Wednesday morning. Calculating from this premise, it is argued that he may claim the presidential nbrni-: nation if the democrats of New York are successful under his lead- % ^ ' SHEJPSp Preparing for 1904. Notwithstanding the fact that two years must pass before the next pres idential election, all the politicians of national standing are preparing for that contest. Not only are the prospective candidates of the great parties playing for position, but the congressional contests now in prog ress are shaping the policies that will control the presidential cam paign. Just now the democrats are mak ing most capital out of the republi can mistakes, and the hope is grow ing that there will be more than enough of those to supply the dem ocratic demand for up-to-date cam paign material. Be it good judgment, straightout honesty, or “what not," the demo crats have made opposition to mo nopoly trusts their chief contention. Certainly they are right, and it seems that the republicans know that the masses of the people are in accord with this democratic princi ple. ' Several recent incidents prove that the republicans laok much of being harmonious in their estimation of trusts and the existing tariff sched ules. As the republicans are ex pressing their varied opinions, the democrats are getting closer togeth er in unity of purpose. President Roosevelt, in denounc ing trusts, though advocating delay in the application of a remedy, has gone contrary to republican expecta tions without alarming the trust magnates. He has merely illusi rated the fact that he is deoidedly erratio. In deoliping a re-nomination for congress, because the republicans of his district in Iowa are opposed to his protective tariff views, Speaker Henderson Emphasizes the prevalent republican disagreement. In New York last week.Gov. Odell and the republican state convention repudiated the candidate for Lieu tenant Governor selected by the trust- magnates and endorsed by Senator Plate, the boss. Altogether, the conditions are fa voring democracy, and the hop* p strong that the next House of R resentatives will be democratic. All this seems to be. clearing t).. way for the election of a democratic president in 1904, m . I IMI.-H II At Indianapolis on the 23rd of September President Roosevelt aban doned his political tour of the west ern states, by order of his physi cians. As a result of the recent trol ley car acoident, an abscess had de veloped on his l^ft leg, which was bruised by that collision. To relieve the absoess, the president submitted to a surgical operation, and then he returned to Washington, where his physioians say he must remain quiet ly for at least ten days. It is said there is absolutely no danger of per manent injury. By means of the operation, the abscess was relieved. Sunday morning it was deemed nec essary to perform another operation, and an incision was made into the small cavity, exposing the bone, which was found to be slightly af fected. The physicians say this waB expected, that by this incision thor ough drainage was established, and that the feeling is now confident that reoovery will be uninterrupted. —— . Ex-Gov. Horace Boies is th6 dem ocratic candidate for congress to represent the Iowa district now rep resented by Speaker Henderson, who is an ultra republioon protectionist. It may indicate the eleotion of Gov. Boies that Henderson declined the republican nomination because the republican state platform contains a clause favoring such tariff revision as will prevent the sheltering of trusts. It is hoped by democrats in touch with the campaign that tariff discussion will overthrow the pres ent republican majority in congress. President Roosevelt’s remCday for the trust evil is regarded as a farce by many republicans as well as all democrats. He proposes com plete control by the federal govern- ernment by authority of a constitu tional amendment. As this would necessitate a two-thirds vote of con gress, and then, ratification by two- thirds of the states, and then again an act of congress to make the amendment operative, the delay would be so extended as to give the jirusts all the latitude and op portunity they want. ' f vo-* Democratic leaders are expecting much for the party from the Novem ber congressional elections. W : MiQ r - The Proposed New Court. During the next session of the Georgia legislature a bill will be in troduced to establish an intermedi ate court between the superior courts and the supreme court. The bill has been prepared by a commit tee of the Georgia Bar Association, authorized by that association. The proposed new tribunal is des ignated as an Appellate Court, and is proposed as a relief of the su preme court, to facilitate the final adjudicatioa of appeals from the su perior courts. Exactly the jurisdiction it is pro posed this new court shall have, if created, we do not know, but infor mation is given us that only civil cases below a certain amount will be appealed to this court, and that the decision of. the appellate court will be final unTeBS a superior court judge will issue a writ of error upon which the case can be carried high er, to the supreme court. While the Home Journal is not prepared to give technical reasons why this court should not be estab lished, we are inclined to the opin ion that it is not needed, or at least that it will not be worth the cosl in accelerating the final decision of cases appealed from the superior courts. Since early manhood this writer has heard of the “over-crowded” su preme court, aud we know that the “relief” expected by the increase of the number of supreme court jus tices from three to six has not been materially afforded. Somehow, to the mind not filled with teehnieai -knowledge of the law, it seems that the Georgia su preme court, with .six justices and six stenographic clerks, might re lieve the pressure if they use the same measure of diligent applica tion [that successful business men display. However, we are not expert in le gal lore and practice, and have writ ten this artiole merely to suggest that our legislators consider faith fully the best interests of the entire Duffle of the state when this bill is indented. -Will it be worth to the people the j> 15,000, or thereabout, that it will cost the state annually?

TIECIED WELL DRESSED An interesting story is told of the recent New York state republican convention. ... It is to the effect that Mr. Sheldon, whom Gov. Odell would not have on the ticket with him, was the candidate of Pierpont Morgan, and that Mr. Morgan gave Senator Platt a campaign contribu tion of $100,000 with the under standing Sheldon should be the nominee for lieutenant governor. If there is any truth in the yarn, Mr. Morgan must have been thoroughly mad at the outcome of the conven tion, and Senator Platt must have had a lot of explaining to do.—Sa vannah News. -Sisss Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the. ear.
