WEATHER FORECAST:* For Gborgia.—Fair today. "Wall^you sucker, walk,” is a familiar cry to Atlantinns. Recorder. Broyles of Atlanta, •till has a soft spot in his heart. Vienna’s cotton market can’t be bent in Dooly county. Vienna has a double hustle on her now and the A. & B. is also ''humping” herself. There was a very good vole poled in this county for Congress* man E. B. Lewis. Russell Sage bought another new pail of coal this week, as he usually does. Now that the republicans have ft majority the speakership ruce is exciting much attention. "Uncle Joe” Cnnnon is tipped 1>y the "knowing ones” as a sure winner to the speakership. The Dooly County Fair Associa tion is still booming snd money is rapidly being paid into the treas. ury of that organisation. The Atlantic and Birmingham is rapidly completing the work •round Vienna, with the exception of the laying of the iron. 1 The subscriptions are coming in daily and our subscription list has been greatly increased 111 the past few months. , Any man that will interfere with n lady that is earning an hon- est living, even though it is 011 the stage, ought to be tarred and feulh ered. 1 We have, not heard of anything being done in regard to the estab lishing ot a public library. Now t{ys is a matter of grave i nportance ■nd should be looked after. President Roosevelt will come south within the next few days to attend, among other things, the re ception of Vice-Governor Luke, of Tennessee. He will probably take the bear hunt in on this trip. Some ot our representative* are •p n ling weeks trying to pass a bill and fail, but our debtors man age to pass quite a large amount of theme very month, and the credi tors "pass” a ‘ large amount of them also. “ COflE SOUTH VOU.NG FARMER. We cannot imagine why our peo ple should be so very anxious to go west, live in sod-houses, endure cold anywhere from 10 to’40 degrees below zero, when land is so cheup in the south, where the winters are mild, the growing seasons long and water acd lumber so cheap, wrote a northern man some years ago, {'It costs mote to build a house in the extreme west than to buy a farm down south and an improved one at that. Then, again, an acre of wheat on southern farms bring* to the owner a better price than the wheat grown west, and the early vegitablesare sure of a good price in the market, and you can raise cotton for a clear money crop,” he. added. To all of this we readily agree, but the steam ot imagination from New York city to the tar west con* tinues unabated and the sod-houses are lived in, the Arctic cold endured and the southern farms continue cheap and the southern people run to town to school their children and the tens of thousands of ucres ot barren soil in the south .tells us there is something the ijiatter. Now what is it? M it the negro that keeps the northwest farmers away from us? Then the-remedy lies in coming to ibe south id such numbers and with enough industry to make these cheap lands pay a handsome profit. There is no other, remedy that occurs to our mind, a'ri'd the southern legis lators, state and federal, should give strict attention tp this crying need of this southern country— Atlanta Journal. UNIFORM TEXT BOOKS. The bill providing tor uniformity in the text books used in the public schoolrot Georgia is a most impor tant meusure. It is an effort to put a stop To the practice! tfiat holds in many counties in the state of chang ing books almost .every yeur and thereby entailing much needless expense upon the parents who no real benefit from the change de manded. The bill introduced by Mr. West, of Lowndes, is complete and places the selection of the books to be used in the hands of a commission head ed by the Governor, including the Chancellor of the State University, and provides for a term of office of five years for the commissioners. The requirements before a change in text books cun be made are suf ficient to* prevent any thing radical and there is every re«soti to believe ihut the bill will result in great benefit to the common schools of the Stuteu The commission, in the event thi bill is made a law, will advertise for bids for school bdoks to be fur nished for a|period of live years aud samples of books must be submitted. Under the provisions of the bill only uniform, non-sectarian and non- sectunl books may be contracted for and a provision it made for the contractor to furnish bond to secure the fujthful performance of the contract. In the event of its adop tion the bill will go into effect Jan. lit, 1903.—Americus Times. The republicans of Chattanooga, Tenn., acknowledge that the dem ocrats "fairly whipped them to the woods” in the county politics. It is a wonder that there was no Fraud, bood'e, or other unfair means used to wrest victory from them. Alfred McDougull, of Canada charged with embezzlement of funds from Ontario is now m the Toronto, Ont., jail. If he gets bail he will probably Greene and Gaynor awhile in the United States. There is no law issued against prize fighting bv the war depart ment, but is just left to the discre tion of the officers in charge. A couple of men can "lambaste thun der” out of one another, provided 1 he officer does not object; said officer usually likes td see the scraps himself.
