The River and Harbors Com mittee of Congress in sympathy with the policy of the Administra tion, have announced that no ap propriation bill for improvement of rivers and harbors will be allow- ed to pass through the committee this session; which of course has aroused the righteous indignation of those representatives who had hoped for appropriations for this purpose. Locally of course this shuts off any effort our immediate represen tative in congress might have in tended making for appropriations for improving navigation on Flint and Chattahoochee rivers. The South Georgia Progress, Thomasville’s weekly paper, has ceased to exist as an independant paper and has been ceded to the Times Enterprise.

The term of Minnie Cox, the negro postmaster of Indianola Miss., has expired and she refused to accept re-appointment. Roose velt appointed W. B. Martin one of her bondsmen to succeed Min nie Cox. The question is which is the leaser evil, the negro post master or a white official who stood bond for the negro. Mrs. Maybrick the American who has been serving a life sen tence in an English prison for poisoning her husband has been released on special license. Her case has caused much comment for some years and many efforts have been made to secure her free dom. That Chicago coroner's jury which inquired into the Iriquois Theater fire, were rabid radicals in politics, at least. The language of their attack on Mayor Harrison would indicate as much. The funeral of Whittaker Wright the millionaire suicide was quite an event in England. The grave was literally covered with beautiful flowers, the gift of En glish women. Macon at last has Atlanta “in the swing.” A basket ball team from the Central City has sue ceeded in defeating a similar team from the village of Atlanta. Mrs. Maybrick free, Bass Fra zier discovered, the next thing on the program will be the resurrec tion ot Will Myers and Charley Ross.

Congress should turn its atten tion to preserving the safety of the country—the national honor is gone. Congress has redeemed itself by the passage of a pure food bill by a vote ot 201 to 68. The interes ting feature of the matter is that 269 members were in the House at one roll call. Last Friday was the anniversa ry of the birth of the late Pres. McKinley, and in honor of the day all the members of the House in Washington wore a red carnation, the favorite flower of Mr. Mc Kinley. Willie Hearst has at least con vinced the democrats of one thing —that if selected as their standard bearer he will lead one ot the mer riest chases for the White house that the country has witnessed in years. <1 Secretary John Hay has been hobnobbing with farmer John Jones of Georgia during the week!
