Perry,ITKuB'SD ay, July '4. A Sewing machine factory will 3oen 'be erected and pat in opera tion at Atlanta. are not enough offices • tor'the republican place-seekers, and the camp is in an uproar. NEW pavements are being put xiown oh the sidewalks of the prin ciple business streets of Macon. tt is currently ife'ported that President Harrison will call ante %ra session of congress early in October next S'sEESBick Douglass, the Wash- Ihgtoh npgro with a white wife, lias been appointed United States Minister to Hayti. The national debt was decreased $16,259,927.T4 during the month <o£ jttnei a decrease of $35.19 since June 30; 1888. 0, L. 0’BA.NNON, a convict from &ibb cbunty, sentenced for 10 years in 1885, for larceny from the house, has b£en pardoned by Gov. Gordon. A Blit providing for the estab lishment of a state industrial school for girls will be introduced in the Georgia legislature during the present .session. Six cohVicts escaped from the .."penitentiary camp in Dodge coun ty, on June 25tb, and four of them are still at large; Dan Mitchel, Ed. McNeil, Win. Robinson and James Stripling. The -Georgia legislature con vened in adjourned session yer- terday, at the old capitol. To-day they will participate in the dedi cation of the new capitol, and then proceed to business to-morrow, provided the enthusiasm cools down sufficiently by that time. DeoEGia will be divided into six census dfetricte when the enumer tion of the next census is arranged for. Houston will be in the fourth district. This district will con tain 17 counties, which contained an aggregate population of 297,- ?72 in 1880. Tuition at Mercer University has bee h made free by the trus tees of that most excellent institu tion This action has been com= mended by the city council of Ma con, and it is presumable that the Univerity how stands at the top of the public school system of the city. . Adjutant General Kell has issued a call for a Georgia Milita- gsigip. fa on the 15th inBt. It iB proposed to form a permanent organization fo be called the “Georgia Volun teers,” and delegates from each military organization of the state are expected arid deaired. A prize fight between Sullivan and Kilrain is booked to take place next Monday, within 100 miles of New Orleans—the exact locality hot made public. The governor of M ; ssisssppi has issiied a procla mation forbidding the fight to take place in that state, and ordering fhe arrest of the pugilists if the attempt is made. It seems that President Harri son has placed himself between ^{be devil and the Deep sea” in life efforts to keep his special White friends* from “close commun ion” with the colored brethren, and his companion efforts to keep in- band the Aegroes as a working p£rt of the republican party. The problem i&not easy of solution,- and already there has been some lan guage more expressive than com plimentary. ^ scliool Georgia is most important, and its solution is apt to occupy a large share of public attention for many years yet to dome. The public school fund was largely increased by action"' of the legislature at the last session, and by that same action u further in crease will be available next year. Added, ‘to this, the fund nppropri ated by the National government ■will probably give us next year double the-amount of free educa tion heretofore received. It is highly commendable and right that cur legislators should provide for the free education of our children, so far as can be without rendering the taxation overburdensome. ^ We think, however, that a step too far might be 'taken in provid ing for the education of our chil dren at the expense *bf the state. By this we mean, that no more state money than is. nowf-appropri- ated to established colleges should devoted to so-called “higher edu cation.” The large majority of Georgia citizens are poor people, and it is the children of these for whom the state should provide free education. We do not wish to appear as opposed to collegiate ed ucation, but we want the state to do the greatest good to the great est number, and this can be done only by devoting the school fund as nearly exclusively as practica ble to the common schools of the state, leaving the colleges to take care of themselves. Of course we do not advocate an abandonment of the State University, but we do say “no more branch colleges.” The children of our “every-day people want good, plain English education. Most of them cannot afford the attendant expenses that go with the frills, flounces and laces of “higher education. We hold that it isyiot the prov- ence of the state to provide di plomas for a few at the expense of the many. In many cities, towns and coun ties the state fund has been sup- plimented by local systems, and schools are sustained that afford all the education needed. We are glad to note that Perry aDd Fort Valley are taking steps in that direction. go Good showers for' ci ops. Farmers in good cheer; crops growing rapidly. York Alliance is on a boom. At last regular meeting one new mem ber was initiated, officers were elected, Urnd other important busi ness transacted. Mr. Johnnie Johnson, who has been going to school-in -Macon, re turned, home several days quite sick, bat I hope to soon re port him well again.

Little sickness in cur neigh borhood. -The recent i-ains are making farmers more cheerful now. Thei: cotton is growing fast, and young grass-is growing too. The tjSresli Ills been in our com munity, and Mr. Glozier says that he has plenty of flour to feed th boys on without buying any. Mr. Johnnie Johnson, who has been quite sick, is now on the mend. We hope soon-to see him among his many friends, and re port him well. The York Alliance had a call meeting last Saturday to attend to some particular business. Miss Ida Scarborough, of Toy. has been visiting the family of Mr. B. W. Johnson a few days the past week; Sundays are too short for “Bach." to stay with his girl, since his long stay in Perry. He now goes up the day before, to make up for lost time. Mr. Joseph Vinson, formerly of York, recently took a pleasure trip down the Georgia Southern and Florida railroad, and on hjs way back to Macon made a short stay of two days with his relatives and many friends at York; Come again, Mr. Vinson; we are always glad to see yoti. Prof. E. E. Miller will begin school again soon, which will glad den the hearts of many, old and young. Since vacation, the chil dren know not what to do, and are always into something they’ve no business. , July 3rd, 18S9. The record of strikes this year indicates much progress in com mon'sense; as to the adjustment of business relations between workers and employers; During the six months of 1889 just ended, there were 29(3 strikes, in which 7-5,110 strikers were involved. For the same period of 1888 there were 389 strikes and 111,201 strikers. A decrease of 107 strikes and 86,- 091 strikers within 12 moutfit; At this rate, if seems probable that the time is coming when strikes will not be popular as means of securing “justice” to workingmen. = E-O-l : The preliminary trial of Jack Dubose has not yet been held. He is held in Bibb county jail for complicity in the murder of the Woolfolk family, under a w arrant served upon him on Jghe loth, while he was held in the jail at Perry ns a witness. It is the gen eral-opinion-that the warrant has been an absolute farce from the beginning, and that the trial will be nothing more than a legal means of release. Justice demands immediate -action. The very heavy rains of the last few days have considerably dam aged the cotton crop in this viem- ty. Mr. W. H. Oxley says cotton was washed down where he never knew water to run before. If the rains con tin ae mueh longer, our farmers will be badly behind with their work, and grass willbe abun- : dant. Messrs. Cain Cooner and John Bountree caught a gray fox Satur day morning in' Mr. FC.R. Hurst’s - pasture. The race lasted only ten minutes. Several ladies and gentemen were fitting on the veranda at Mr. J. C. Thompson’s Sunday morn ing, when a thorn bird was seen fighting a snake, The snake went into the fowl house near by, and in the search for him two wfere found-and killed, one of them was. in the roof of the house. They were chicken shakes, 5 feet and 3| feet long respectively. Miss Lavehia Thompson is vis iting Mrs. Perry Smoak this week. Several from our vicinity will spend the Fourth in Macon, if the weather is favorable. Mr. C. D. March man will ship watermelons next Monday, the first from this Neighborhood, I think. Several day ago Mr. J. C. Cooner discovered that somebody had palled a number of his watermel ons. Following the' tracks, he saw where the melons (green-)were cut open, and further on found out that a white boy and two ne gro boys pulled the melons. He gave them their^choice: pay him $5, or let the law take its course. The preferred settling with Mr. Cooner. July % ’89.
