RUSSIA .v| JAPAN, / j j j
] n considering the tactics em»_
ployed by thd two hgt jont »ow en
gaged in battle in the far east, the
fact cannot remsin hidden that
Russia is far behind her antagod*
i s t, At least this is most appar*
ent from her contest on the seas.
Russia may by overwhelming num
bers suppress her antagonist but
the performance will be no small
undertaking. Japan employs mod*
ern war tactics in every particular.
F«r years she has educated her
military and naval officers largely
under American tutorage. Her
boys have been sent to American
schools here and returning home
they have done much toward
Americanizing their navy and ar*
my. ii • : it •
The statistics of the two coun*
tries show that whjle Russia has
three times the population of Japan,
yet the attendance upop the pub
lie schools of Japan exceeds that of
Russia by mor* than 200,oop pu*
pik This indicates that Russia
is far behind Japan.in. the stretch
of civilization and the influences
that surround. It is little ;wonder
that the Japs are Hogging their an
tagonists, ....
Washington’s birthday; Feb.
2:nd will be observed by'the pub*
lie schools of the county.
It is announced that Dr. Boozer
will soon begin the publication of
a paper at Quitman; and Brooks
county is dry at that.
Since the candidate has ap*
pearetl in the race the candy beau
had better look to his laurels. If
numbers have anything to do with
it the former has already put the
latter out of business.

According to the Fort Gaines
Sentinel, one lone candidate put
his head above water last Satur*
day, but he became so lonely that
he soon dived back again.
Jno. D. Rockfeller’s yearly ins
come from his standard Oil Co. in
tcrests is $15,000,000. This does
. not take into account his various
other interests.
The award of the State Fair to
the city of Macon will meet with
highest approval in this section of
the state. Macon is centrally lo
cated and her people have worked
unceasingly for the success of the
Fair every time it has been held
there. We are in favor of reward
ing their efforts.
Thus far Jno. R. Singletary of
Cairo is the only announced
candidate for representative from
Thomas county, although it iscon-
• ceded that there may be a number
of others. Thomas has three rep
resentations in the General assem
bly, and Col. Singletary filled-one
°t these satisfactorily and well
• during the past term. His friends
claim that he will again winr out in
the coming contest.

wojld in a political liight he has
b«C9 recognized as the leafier of
the^lepub|icgn taction. President
McKinley appointed him chairman
of the Republican National Exec*
utive Committee and his marvel
ous power as an organizer and
leader was at once put into action.
During McKinley’s administration
he was generally considered and
almost openly acknowledged as
“the power behind the throne"
and since then he has made his
influence so all powerful that it' is
the prevalent opinion that Roose
velt hails his removal with relief.
Undoubtedly he was the strongest
man in the Republican forces and
had he lived would hhve been the
prime mover in'the coming cam*
paign.
His death is a blow to his party
which will be severely felt in more
than onC direction. Although a
Republican and- the greatest men
ace to the Democrats, Mr. Hanna
was greatly admired in the South.
While we differ'as to the correct*
ness of his opinions and heartily
condemn nvdvy of his actions, we
cannot fail to admire his ability as
a leader of his people.
Harry Stillwell Edwards ex
presses the sentiment of the peo
ple in the closing words of his
tribute to the dead statesman. “A
wise man,a. good, man, a strong
man is gone apd the South toward
whom he never lifted a hand but
to extend it stands reverently be
sides his bier, her wreath of
cypress gemmed with tears.”
U e learn that an effort will' be
ni: *de at an early date to divide
Tine Hiil district in such a man
ner as to do away with the incon
venience of so. many voters having

Congressman Shafroth of Col.
created quite a sensation last week
by voluntarily relinquishing his
seat in the House, stating that he
had not been elected fairly. It
seems that his place was contes*
ted by R. W. Boyinge and the ex*
amination of the ballots revealed
fraud in a number of districts. The
House unanimously declared
Bonyinge entitled to the seat, at
the same time bestowing high
praise on Mr. Shafroth and ac
quitted him of all share in the
fraud. This is an offset against
the senatorial scandals which have
been disturbing political circles for
some time past.
The feeling of sympathy for Bal
timore in the trouble caused by
the recent conflagration, is suc
ceeded by universal admiration at
her courageous efforts to extricate
herself from such an awful plight,
without the aid of the outside
world. The new Baltimore which
will rise from the ashes of the old,
will equal and surpass, if that be
possible, the, city just destroyed.
