While the result of the congres sional elections in the several states last Tuesday is not definitely shown by the reports published Wednes day, it iB clear that the democrats are more nearly united thau in the campaigns of 1900 and 1896. Whatever the percentage of dem ocratic gain in membership of the 58th congress Over the membership of the 67th, it is certain that the democratic position with reference to the next presidential campaign is much improved. While it may be true that the democratic vote in all the states was not as large as th6 leaders had rea son to expect, the campaign has been one of education that will lead to a more thorough understanding of the vital differences between the main contentions of the democratic and republican parties. It has been clearly shown that the protective tariff schedules created and maintained by the republican party give opportunity for the for mation of trusts, and furnish main tenance therefor. By democratic purpose and speech it has been shown that trust corpo rations are inimical to individual en terprise in all industrial business, and directly antagonistic to primary producers and all consumers. It has oeen dearly shown that the prod ucts of trust corporations in the United States are sold in Europe at prices lower thau they are sold in the stales where manufactured. It has also been demonstrated that the leaders of the republican party are not disposed to do any thing that will be displeasing to the trust magnates. In other words, tho republican party has been shown to be in political collusion with the corporation monopolies. Whether the 68th congress con tains a majority of democratic mem bers, or is republican, the campaign just closed has fi^ed the issue that will be the leading feature of the presidential campaign in 1904. Of course there will not be nnv tariff legislation that would re.ln • the profits or curtail the financ power of the trust corporations - long as the republicans are iu c <n trol. A democratic majority in Ujo House will be powerless on tliiB line so long as the Senate and adminis tration are republican. All these facts combine to open the way to the election of a demo cratic president in 1904. Editor Home Journal: We desire through the medium of your publication to explain to the citizens of Houston county the ob ject of a bill which will be intro duced at thiB session of the legisla ture, and of which notice is given in this issue of your paper, to establish a dispensary in Fort Valley. , In a few words, the bill provides for a dispensary in Fort Valley if a majority of the voters of the 9th district desire one; it likewise gives other incorporated towns in the county containing 300, or more, population, the right to establish a dispensary, on recommendation of tho municipal authorities. From the foregoing it will be seen that Fort Valley does not at tempt to take any advantage over her sister cities, neither does she presume to dictate to them in refer ence to dispensaries. The passage of this bill would mean, if sanction ed by a majority of the voters of the 9th district, a dispensary for Fort Valley (one-half of the profits to go to the county and. one-half to the town) and one for Perry and Byron if the citizens of those places desire one. With this explanation, we confi dently look for the support of those citizens who desire a reduction of taxation, which would surely come with the establishment of a dispen sary. Respectfully, Committee from Petitioners. Fort Valley, Nov. 3, 1902. • — — Some farmers near Perry have made more cotton this year than they made last year with the same number of plows. Concerning wheat growing and a large flour mill, the Macon Tele graph says: “Several capitalists have stated positively to Telegraph reporters that they would construct and equip a mill at Macon at once they were assured that wheat growing would continue to increase, and that the farmers would plant enough to supply the demand. The farmers, on the other hand, say they are already planting enough, but they are using it • as stock feed be cause they have to haul it too far to have it ground. It begins to look as if the coming season will see the capitalists and the farmers get to gether and construct a big mill at Macon.” There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years dootors pro nounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science lias proven cathrrh to bo a constitu tional disease, and therefore requires constitu tional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manu factured by F. J.

The North Georgia Conference of tho Methodist Episcopal Church, South, whioh will be in session in Atlanta from November 19th to 24th, is said to be the largest anna al conference in the world. Of the 763 churches included in this con ferbnee there are 100,000 members, 277 itinerant preachers, 307 local preaohers, 181 parsonages and church property valued at $1,267,- 655. Besides the salaries of pastors and presiding elders, the collections and disbursements of this confer ence annually aggregate $142,000 for foreign and home missions, wornout preachers, widows and or phans, church extension, etc. A union passenger depot will be built in Atlanta on property owned by the Southern Railway Company The Central and other roads enter ing Atlanta will take stock in the company that will build and control the depot. This departure • creates a problem for the state, its depot being a “baok number,” and the tenants preparing to withdraw and furnish their own depot. The legislature will do exceeding ly well to enact a law that will leave local legislation to the counties di rectly affected. A general law might give autonomy to the counties con coming all purely local affairs. 6 Have your Machinery repaired, buy parte of Machinery, Pipe and Steam Fittings and Dressed Lumber at Works...
