PubllsheiJEveryTThursday Homing. Jno.H. HODGES, Editor and Publisher Pebby, Thursday, November 20. A BILL for a dog law lias not yet bean introduced in the Georgia legislature. A large number of turkeys will be sacrificed' on the thanksgiving altar next Thrusday. □It is amusing to note the differ ence in tone of the republican pa pers before and after the election. The people of Atlanta and Ma con are now vigorously prospecting for municipal candidates who will will make good officers. James G. Blaine is said to be figuring for the republican nomi nation for presides t in 1892. It is not unlikely that he will .feet it. The national convention of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union was in session at Atlanta the greater pdrtion-of last week. The business acts of the Georgia alliance within the next nine months will make or mar its fu ture as a practical organization.’ The result of tlie senatorial elec tion by the Georgia legislature has neither strengthened nor weakened the alliance os a business organi zation. Pbof. Koch, a German Scien tist, has discovered a medical com pound that is said to be a sure cure for consumption and all pulmpna- ry diseases. During the year just ended there were printed for the United States government $227,583,050 of gold and silver certificates, bonds and national bank notes. The next House of Representa tives must not use as a pattern any, act of the republicans of the pres ent congress, if so, the democrats might invite defeat at the polls. The pressure of fact has farther increased the democratic majority in the House of .Representatives of the 52d congress. The majority is now somewhere between 153 and 160. * The Macon ^Birmingham rail road now runs a regular passenger schedule between Macon and Thomaston. The construction of the road is being pushed forward rapidly. The famous Dooly county safe is again the center of an unsolved problem. It is not wanted in. the new court house. What to do with it, and how to move it? are now the questions. Ip ex-President Cleveland and Gov. Hill.both of New York,should be the chief democratic candidates for president, the misfortune of al lowing one state to dictate the nomination might befall ns. The United States Senate will become democratic in 1892: The admission of two or three new - states will bring* about this result. In this way the republican majori ty was increased in the present Senate. Unnecessary blow is made over the fact that there are 126 farmers in the present House of Represen tatives of the Georgia legislature. A legislator who was there informs ns that the last House contained 123 farmers. The corner stone of the Girls’ Industrial School at Milledgeville, will be laid next Thursday, thanks giving day. The day is most ap propriate, and it is also appropriate that a special delegation of the Georgia legislature should attend. Georgians solons should treat this school liberally. IT IS SENATOR JOHN B. GORDON. Tuesday Gov. Gordon was elect ed United States Senator on the first ballot, by the Georgia legisla ture. The vote stood in the Senate, Gordon 25, Calhoun 6, Norwood 7, Hines 3, Hammond 2, Hawkins L In the House Gordon 83, Cal houn 20, Norwood 43, Hines 12, Womack L Total vote cast 169. Not voting 6. Before the announce ment was completed several- changes to Gordon were made, and he was nominated. The fact was greeted with great enthusiasm. This closes one of the most re markable political contests ever known in Georgia. Up to a certain time Gov. Gordon was the only candidate for Senator. Then the leaders of the farmers alliance de clared against him, because he, in a speech, declared he coaid not support the sab-treasury bill as it stands, this bill having been made the alliance standard of measure ment for congressional and sena torial candidates. The alliance leaders declared that the election of Gordon would be the defeat of the alliance. An ti-alliance politicians became bit ter, and the senatorial shiboleth became Gordon and anti-Gordon. The result shows that all the alii- ancemen eonld not be controlled by the leaders, even though Ma- cune and Polk came herefrom oth er states to. help the fight against Gordon. The election of Gordon does not in any way mean the de feat of alliance principles, but sim ply that some of the alliancemen thought and voted as they pleased, regardless of the desires of those who aspired to dictate the politics of the alliance, as well as to lead in the business affairs of the organi zation. The alliance as a practi cal bpsiness organization has not been weakened by this political defeat of its leaders. From the meeting of the legisla ture the Senatorship was the chief topic of speculation, Gen. Gordon’s friends claiming all the time that he would be elected. Caucuses were held for and against "Gordon, the names of ex- Senator T. M. Norwood, Hon. L. F. Livingston, Hon. Patrick Cal- houD, Hen. Flemming DuBignon, Hon. N. J. Hammond, Jndge J. K. Hines, Gen. L. J. Gartrell all being mentioned as candidates. A final oausus of the anti-Gordon legisla tors was held Friday night,, when Patrick Calhoun was endorsed. This did not prove satisfactory, however, and it was declared that the.causus endorsement was not binding. Mr. Norwood declared he would not abide the cansus action, and that he was still a candidate. It was then claimed that Cal houn would be elected, and at the same time Gen. Gordon’s friends declared he would be elected on the first ballot. This cansus endorsement pre sented a strange spectacle. The farmers had repeated declared their animosity to monopolies, and all agents of monopolies, and all per sons who affiliated with or in any way favored monopoly corpora tions. Yet they endorsed for United States Senator the attorney of the Richmond Terminal railroad sys|em, the greatest monopoly that ever touched Georgia. Fob several years it has been a hobby of the Home Journal that local legislation eonld be safely and economically provided by the counties interested, * The Georgia legislature could perform its work within the limit of the constitution —40 days biennially—if it was rid of themany local measures intro duced and pressed to passage. Let each county enact its special legis lation, under a well-digested gen eral law. It is said the Sioux Indians are arming themselves with rifles, and securing ammunition in large quantities. The settlers along the border of the reservation are thor oughly alarmed, and the govern ment has been asked to furnish the citizens with gaps and ammuni tion, if soldiers are not sent for ward. Major J. F. Hanson is promi nently mentioned as a candidate fbr mayor of Macon. The election will take place in December next, and the city does not contain a better man for mayor than Maj H’ahson. The candidates for al dermen will probably be nomina ted by the citizens of-the several wards. Several persons are in jail at Macon charged with conspiracy to Mil Forsyth, the superintendent o£*the Dodge Land Company, who was assassinated several xveeks ago in Dodge county. —The election of Gov. Gordon to the United States Senate, was received with great pleasure in Perry last Tuesday, there being only foux- anti-Gordon men in town. _ Several attempts have been made recently to rob the express car on the Georgia railroad. THE GEORGIA LEGISLATURE. The legislature is steadily at work, and it seems they mean bus iness, though a large number spent last Saturday and Sunday at their homes. The railroads have not yet is sued annual passes, bnt members have been informed that they can get trip passes whenever they ap ply therefor. We know that a number of such passes- were used last week It is not necessary, uorpractica- ble, for the Home Journal to pub lish all the bills introduced, but we will endeavor to give the name and character of those of general- importance, and those pertaining to Houston county, when passed. So far a majority of the bills in- trodneed are of a local character though several of general interest have been placed before the House and the Senate. We note a few bills that have a general bearing. To increase the pay of tax re ceivers; to amend the public school law, making ordinaries of the coun ties perform the duties now per formed by county school commis sioners; to prohibit the sale of liquor in Georgia in quanties less than one quart. A bill to make county school com missioners elective by the people. A bill to make state school com missioner elective by the people. A bill to amend the constitution so as to require the governor to appoint judges and solicitors, in stead of these officers being elected by the legislature.- A few local bills have passed the House of Representatives, but none have yet become laws. No bill has yet elicited discus sion, in fact no bill of general in terest has reached that stage. It seems to be the intention of the body to consinder the local bills now, and such others as will not call out mnch discussion, leav ing the measures of great interest for the adjourned term, next sum mer, when they can be discussed at length and at leisure. Houston in The Legislature. There are three , members of the Georgia legislature from Houston county, one Senator and two Rep resentatives. They are gentlemen of worth, and will always be at their post when duty calls. The Senate committees have not been given to the public, and we are unable to tell the people how Senator Culpepper is placed. Hon. R. N. Holtzclaw is chair man of the committee on military affairs, and is a member of the fol lowing committees: Education. General Judiciary, Railroads, sec ond place. Hon M. F. Etheridge is a mem-- ber of the following committees: General Agriculture, Internal Im provements and Banks. Mi*. Holtzclaw has introduced seveial bills, as.follows: A bill to levy and collect a tax for the support of the state govern ment, for public institutions, etc To render valid and binding any and all waiver of homesteads and exemptions, though the debt be infected with usury. To render valid deeds made to secure debts, though the debt is infected with usury. To amend section 3046 of the code, compelling all actions against railroads to be brought in the county where the cause of action arose. To make void any mortgages on crops before matnrity. Mr. Etheridge has introduced two bills: To render liable to garnishmrnt for debt daily, weekly and month ly wages, when above a certain amount A bill to require all railroads running passenger trains to stop at stations and crossings where they usually stop, and to provide penalty for violation, etc. , » •-« —Of our street lamps the Perry correspondent of the Fort Valley Enterprise says: “We verily be lieve that the few street lamps scattered about over the business portion of our town are put there for no other purpose than to show how dark the nights are.' Pedes trians are shown the darkness and are afraid to venture out.” Luther J. Hall, a lawyer of Eastman, is again on trial in the United States court at Macon. This time he is charged with per jury, though the foundation is the same as that from which grew the case of contempt in* which he was convicted "and sentenced several months ago. The whole trouble grows out of the land frauds that have been perpetrated in Dodge county during the last several years, It is reported by Prof. Hr,g3n of the government signal service, tbattivo thousand tornadoes, cy clones and windstorms of nil sorts occurred iu the United States dur ing the last twelve mouths. These storms caused the death ' of 1,826 people, and destroyed property to the value of §34,894,700. Lookout for Glanders. The Commissioner of Agricul ture of Georgia, Hon. R. T. Nes bitt, has recently published a letter warning the farmers of Georgia that glanders prevails to a consid erable extent in Texas, hnd in por tions of Southwest Georgia.. Our readers know that glanders is one of the most fatal diseases that attack horses, and that in re spect to it an ounce of preventive is very mnch better than sevei al pounds of cure. Our farmers are warned to no tice careful ] y all horses and mules coming into the couuty from other sections of-the state, and especial ly those fi'orn Texas. StraDge horses should not be allowed to come in contact with your own animals until you are absolutely certain they are not afflicted with the dreadful disease. Read Mr. Nesbitt’s letter on the first page of this paper. Augmented by the Alliance. Mb. Editor: Some time ago, in replying to an anonymous writer in your cc-inmus, signing himself “Honstou,” who had made an unceremonious-at tack upon the Farmers’ Alliance, upon the assumed grounds, as he alleged, that the Alliance had drop ped iuto polities as readily, as did Silas Wegg into poetry,and that the democratic party was thereby en dangered. I took occasion to re mind him that he need not give himself any uneasiness about the democratic party, tiiat, that party was safe; and that we- knew that Tom Reed was running the Feder al Congress, and that the devil was running Tom Reed; and that we did not expect to have mnch to do with politics until the devil and Tom Reed got out. And now I want to remind him that the devil is out, becaise h’s agent, Billy McKinley, has bean buried alive in Ohio; and Torn It'-ed’s reed h is been broken, so that lie will oniy be a tottering figurehead in the fifty-second congress, where he will have ample time and opp u tii- nity to cover himself iu sack-cloth aud ashes, ami repent of former sius; and that we may now, with becoming “propriety follow up the victory we have won by the demon strations we have already made in the political art nn. Mr. “Houston’’ cannot now fail to see that through the -teachings of ille Alliance thti democral cpar- ly has been greatly .augmented, and the political atmosphere great ly purified. Who clines next? Sincerely, Allianceman. Nov. 17th 1890. Good Men for a Town. . The following essence of com munity enterprise is clipped from the Fort Yalley Enterprise: The only men of worth to a town, or community.are those who forget their own selfish ends longeuough, and who are liberal enough in their ideas, to encourage every public and private enterprise; to push all projects calculated to build up the town and enhance its ini portance.. The enterprise and pash of a town or community con stitutes the foundation of its per manent success. A town may as well prepere for its funeral as to become indifferent to the enter prise in i ts midst. Men who come to a town to. make it their future home, who cannot look far enough before them to see that money placed judiciously in a public en terprise will be increased au hun dred fold in the appreciation of their property, are, to be pitied. They are of the class who are ready to take all they can of some one else’s building enterprise, but they are not willing to do anything themselves. -It is not sound public policy to enhance the interests of a town at the expense of the surrounding country, but in such a way that all the country around about , will share in. the benefits. Therefore, we desire the growth of Perry in manufacturing industries, the in crease of population, the increase of consumers, so that with our growth the farmers will have a bet ter market for their produce. • : —Malaria produces Weakness General Debility, Loss of Appe tite, Indigestion and Constipation Grove’s Tasteless Chill Tonic is a perfect * Antidote for Malaria, and removes the cause which pro ducers these troubles.

A SUNDAY TALK ALL ABOUT PRICES. ‘ There has been a great deal of talk lately about the effect of the new tariff bill on prices.. Of course, we carry a large amount of imported Clothing, bnt we don’t take any stock in this McKinley business. Other retailers can stuff their patrons, and thus apologise for their high prices, hut it is not apart of our busi ness. Those who trade with hs don’t pay any extra tariff. They get the Quality and the Style just as low as is consistent with legitimate dealing. We have paid no McKinley tariff, and we don’t charge our customers for it. SOMETHING ABOUT CLOTHING. It is not everybody who knows how to buy Clothing. There are several things to be considered in such a trade. Among the considerations may be mentioned qua^jty, style, variety, price. If you can find all these points combined at one place, wo don’t mind saying that’s the place to trade. You want to get value received first of all; then you want the pattern to be new and catchy ;Jhen you want a stock to select from, in order that your individual taste may be suited; and last of all, you want tho price to he in reason. This brings us to TPE GIST OP THE SUBJE.CT. If our qaalities are not what they seem to be and what -tffe represent them to be, there is no obligation upon yo i to buy. We would not invito a comparison of our goods with other dealors, if we feared the result. In regard to Style and Variety, you can easily determine whether our stock is not jam up. Come in and see what we havo got, and then decide. As far as prices are concerned, we will guarantee to go lower than any other, house in Macon for the same goods. All these points wo are nulling to make good, and only ask that you give us the privi lege of doing so by callingto see us. - We have arranged some special prices on all lines of goods for this week, and feel that we can please you:. —THE— STAR CLOTHING COMPANY, DAVE WACHXEL, Manager. 610 CHEERY STREET, MACON, GA.
