VOL I. NO 96. VIENNA. GA.. WEDNESDAY. APRIL 30, 1902. TWICE-A"WEEK $1.00 PER YEAR Notes and Comments. REV. J. D. NORRIS. PCvvv C-vvv SEVERAL SMALL SCENES SCOOPED W ITHIN the past few days the] rich men and trust companies have bought up several great railroad lines and quite a number of short lines and it will soon be true that most of the railroads of the South will be completely under the control of one great system—this is an alarming and deplorable condition. These great railroad combinations will work untold injury and hardships upon the masses of the people—freight rates will be high and competition practically de- stroyed.l There is great need of both state atad national legislation relative to the railroads of our country—our inter state commerce laws needs amending. Let our statesmen see to it that the great railroad syndicates are kept within just and lawful'bounds. The people who originally constructs railroads never reap any benefits from them, but aftera new road is completed and begins to earn dividends it passes into the hands of the capitalist. It is not wise for people of small capital to ■ purchase shares in a new road. About all some people in Georgia get for the hnrd^eamed dollars they invest in new railroad stocks is a free ride to some terminal point on the fourth of July, and then they are compelled to ride on "negro excursion trains. When you are better leaders than Jones. Senator Mark Hanna has received another presidential boom, and os the republican party is a war party and a friend to trusts and high tariff Hanna is the logical candidate for the presi dential nomination. Though “Teddy ; may get the nomination but not the election. The latest presidential boom for the democratic nomination is Senator J. IV Bailey of Texas. Bailey is young, strong and a wise leader, brilliant orator and a hard fighter. Texas is destined to rival New York in eleetorial votes V> it is natural that Texas is one of the coming Btates to figure in na tional politics. Bailey and Hill would make a good ticket, so let the South place one man on the next presidential ticket. The silver question is too dead to be considered. Let the democrats be united and victory is sure. Beef is now selling at 25c. per pound nnd may go higher. The west controls the beef trade of the country, and the South is at their mercy for we have not made enough for our own supply. Let our people give more intelligent atten tion to stock and cattle rafsing. If the price remains up most of us will hove to be thankful for an occasional soup bone much less a fine porter house.

The small share holders in our railroads should be protected. The-most of our presidents are famous for some special .things Wash ington, Madison, Volk, Lincoln, Mc Kinley are oar war presidents; Jackson nnd Cleveland used their veto power ‘freely; President Roosevelt will pass into history as the great reprimander of subordinate officials. He has pub licly rebuked Dewey, Schley, Sampson, Miles, Long, H. Clay Evans, and many 'others of -high official stations, for trivnl and unjust causes. Gen. Miles is not popular in the South largely because of his inhuman treatment of President Jeff Davis, but tlie other (lay when Gen, Miles was called on to meet the Senate committee that had charge of the army bill to give them needed informations and make recommenda tions to the committee, and because his views were not in exact accord with ttie presidents views he was rebuked and is to bo retired. The south and the entire union are justly indignant at the usipation of power the American constitution has not delegated to the president at all. Let "Teddy” remem' Iter that he is not Czar of Russia but president of the democratic republic of the United States. While'cohgress is making laws to protect our presidents from the dangerous anarchists, let congress throw around the constitution the safe guards that will effectually restrain the president from abasing the power given him. Gen. Freddy Funston has just arrived home from the far off Philippine Is lands to receive “Teddy’s" accustomed rebuke, and just as soon as he is through with Freddie, ho will be ready for Gen. Merriett. taller to mix with turpentine to heal the stumped toes of the children or grease our shoes.

In the Atlanta Journal of the 26th, Inst., Sam Jones informs the public that his band wagon of “Musiclaners”—Sam Jones, Sam Small, Broughton and Scab Wright, would begin their Sherman’s march through Georgia, destroying the democratic party and killing out «11 homo of Mr. and Mrs. IL H.

The following subjects will be discussed at the next meeting : “The Best Way to Teach Geogra phy” and '‘Nature Study. ” Onr account of the program being mis placed the names ot. the leaders of these subjects are not given. The president urgently insists that every teacher in the county attend the next meeting as it will be the last one of this season. Nopther business the Institute adjourned until May 23. _ H. C. Frazibu, Pres, Ai.ba Herrington, Sec’y, MRS. ALTMAN DEAD. x ( That was n deserved honor Congress man Jim Griggs of Georgia, received at the hands of his democratic colleagues by making him chairman of the Nat ional Congressional committee. The grand old democratic party, has Its greatest power and strength In the South, so it is eminently fitting that the gifted yonng Georgian should be thus honored. The democrats have a fighting chance to control the next house ot representatives. The defeat of Senator J. K. Jones of Arkansas, was not a surprise to the well informed public, and it is to be hoped that he will be retired from the chairmanship of the National Demo cratic, committee. He has made so many blunders as to demonstrate his inability to wisely manage a presides tial campaign. The party is full of democratic usage, and" fashion and practice Georgia after Maine and Kansas. All in the way, Sam says, will be run over by his wagon. Sam, as the leader of this orchestra, going into this political campaign will state, of course, that he has a right to be the chief at a democratic primary. Heiwill rest his claims on his record as follows: 1st. He is no democrat, and has so announced hundreds of times ‘ in the post ten years. 2nd. He gets his largest pay in northern towns where ho makes the “fur fly” in criticising southern dem ocracy. 8rd. His support of Judge Hines against the democratic nominee, and his campaign circulars against Steve Clay and the party in the interest of Hines. 4th. His assistance by speech, pen and band wagon to Seab Wright in or ganizing the negroes, populists, repub licans and prohibitionists into a party to defeat the democratic nominee and place the state into the hands of the motley combine. 5th. His position on the railroad question—against any railroad legisla tion, advocater of the free pass system, at home and abroad—believer ond ad vocaterof trusts, combines, and his life-long enmity to the democratic party; no administration good enough for him to train with since Bullock abdicated. Upon these grounds and on this rec ord Sam expects the big road for his wagon, and he regards it “treason” for anyone to stand for democracy and what it has accomplished, under ad vene conditions, for the state.

H E Bullock and wife, who have been visiting relatives in England for the past nine months have written their two sons, Messrs Will and Bart Turton that they will probably sail for Phila delphia on the 21st, prox.

One thousand feet of hose has also been ordered. Last Saturday was memorial day and a large number ot people went from this place out to the different country cemeteries. The largest crowd no doubt, was at Harmony. Every can didate that had opposition was present at the Harmony cemetery, besides a large number of other visitors and tho citizens of that community^ At the noon hour a bountiful supply of dinner was spread and everybody partook heartily. There were no .after-dinner speeches however. The question has been given np that those people around Harmony can fix up the best dinner for such an occasion of any community in the county. Protracted meeting will commence at the Methodist church in this city Thursday night. Rev. Mr. Morrill, an evangelist from Cartersville, will con duct the meeting. The services will be held Friday la the warehouse of Johns & Forehand, where comfortable seats and lights will be prepared. There will be throe services daily at at 10:30 in the morning, 3:80 in the afternoon and 8 o’clock at night. It was decided to hold the meetings after Thursday night in the warehouse for the conven ience of the business men. Now, let everybody co-operate and have an old tiine revival and awakening up in this town and community. Mrs. Cassie A. Altman, who* lives about 8 miles south-east of Vienna, and mother of Mr. L. M. Altman of Cordele, . died at eight o'clock last Saturday morning after an itlness of only a few days.
