THAT YOU WILL BE ASTONISHED At'the prices we are asking for cur Fine Black"’ ' AND Blue Serge Suits! These Prices go as Low as —— $10.00. Perhaps you cannot realize how such I suits can be made for such a figure, and it does seem incredible, but you, will be still more amazed when you find' out how excellent they are as to quality of mate rial. As a matter of fact, they would be cheap at- much higher figures, for the greatest possible care has been exercised in finishing them, and they can be favor ably compared as to Pit, to made-to-or- der suits. TTsT a, cli te l’s Central City Clothing House, 515 Cherry St., - MACON, GA. 1 ~ WmmM&me ImEMm PRICE, TWO DOLLARS A YEAR. Published Every Thursday Morning. no. H. HODGES, Editor and Publisher Perry, Thursday, June 4> Ex-Speaker Reed was feted ex tensively last week in Paris. <*s* A million dollar less was the result of a fire in.Brooklyn, N. Y., last Tuesday morning. One hundred thousand dollars worth of property was destroyed by fire ' in Los Angelos, California, last Saturday. The Central railroad system of Georgia has been leased to the Richmond & Danville company for 99 years. The Democratic party is in fact the people’s party. The organi zation promulgated at Chicago is such only in name. Financial success seldom comes to the man who continually dis credits, with word arid deed, the, bnsiness in which he is engaged . It is claimed by advisers of far mers that cotton should be strictly ly a surplus crop. The farmers say there will be no surplus crop this year. -►-♦-4— The dispute betwoen the United States and Great Britain, concern ing the catching of seals in Beh ring sea, is about to be amicably adjusted. The labor organizations of Chi cago have passed resolutions to withhold all aid from the World’s fair, unless a minimum rate of wages is allowed. It is said that Senator J. Don ald Cameron, of Pennsylvania, is being groomed by Quay, et al, as the presidential candidate to pre vent the nomination of Harrison. -When a justly graded income tax is added to the platform of the democratic party, that party will be as near right as it is possi ble for a political organization to he. ^ The Farmers’ Alliance leaders of Ohio say the third party move ment will defeat McKinley for governor by a large majority. Democratic success seems to be assured. Sir John McDonald, premier of Canada, died at his residence at Ottawa, Ontario, last Tuesday. A •decided change iu Canada .politics is expected to occur, with , a de crease in the strengra of the gov ernment party. It is the general opinion that the Southern Allianeemen will not affiliate with the third party next year, nor thereafter, unless the •^democratic ■ congress fails to fur- v nish the .business relief that'is justly demanded. The longer the friends of Cleve land and Hill continue the fight for supremacy, the less likely will it become that either can he nomi nated for tha presidency. Theua- .tional democracy can’t afford to at tempt to make a political pivot of -New York divided. . Tariff for revenue only, free coinage of silver, and an income tux must be the chief planks of the democratic platform in the next national campaigu. Then the par ly will be in perfect keeping, with wisdom, justice and moderation,, the fundamental principles of Geor gia government. AN INCOME TAX, I-n the line of political reform, the placing of a justly- giaded tax upon incomes is next in import ance to an honest redaction of im port daiies on al! articles that are necessaries of life. The farmers’ alliance and other industrial organizations are right in demanding that sue,b a tax shall be imposed. It is true that all di rect taxation is Objectionable, bat in this instance the'objections will be raised by those, persons who now own more than their share of wealth, but by operation ofkunjust laws escape, in' a large measure, the hardens of taxation. This meas ure, like the tariff reform issue, and the free silver coinage ques tion, will not alone afford the fall measure of relief desired, but add- the others, and all rightly enforced ed to in the interest of justice, n condition of aff airs would surely be reached that would cause the mass es of our people to entertain the opinion'that our government ups really intended to be “for the peo ple.” v As matters now are, the whole government fabric seems to have been fashioned especially for the use of those fortunate mortals who have accumulated greatly more than their.share of “the root of all evil.” It is known to all that- the ex ceedingly wealthy men of this country, and National banks, are required to pay taxes on a small portion of their property only, the bonds and other securities in which they invest their money being non- tdxable. Without going into ah argument concerning the justice, or political econorily, of such exemptions, we assert that the working, producing people are right in demanding that the burdens of taxation shall be borne in proportion to the benefits received from the government. The government having made it possible for men of wealth to es cape taxation upon their property, that government should rectify the error by placing a tax upon the in come of every person within its jurisdiction. The tariff on imports now im poses its full burden upon the poorer peopla, and only a portion upon the wealthy.' The money laws are decidedly in favor of the rich and against the interests of of the poor, and the direct tax laws exempt such property that: the rich only can possess. An income tax' would bear upon all alike, taking from each a stated portion of the money that actually comes into his possession. With tariff reform, free silver and tin income tax as the cardinal features of the democratic plat form, the demand for a third party will be abolished, and the republi can party as a political factor will be buried too deep for resurrec tion. An income tax would be simply justice to the masses of the peo ple, correct-in principle aud most excellent in practice. Gov. Fleming, of Florida, lias not issued to Hou. Wilkinson Call a certificate of election to the Uni ted States Senate, and the oppo nents of Call have petitioned him to withhold the certificate. They claim that there was not a quorum of State Senators present when Call was declared elected, and, therefore, the^session of the Sen ate that day was illegal and void. Th*e Senators opposing Call were in Georgia that day, having left Tallahassee and. Florida for the specific purpose of preventing the Senate from- having a quorum present. The Macon Produce Exchange says 26,671 acres are being culti vated in Watermelons in Georgia below' Macon, on the G. 3. & E., Southwestern and S. F, & W. rail roads. Therewill be 942 shippers, and the exchange expects to han r die about 400 car loads a day du ring Jnly. It is belived that more than the usual number of melons will be sold at the shipping points this. year. Judge H. R. Gibson and John C.*Houk are the two most promi- -nent republican candidates from the Knoxville, Tenn., district, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Hon. L. C. Houk. It is not coucaded, however, that ^re publican will be elected, .and it is thought that Gen. J. C. J. Wil liams will be nominated by the democrats, and elected. ~ - The Progress-Farmer, the State Alliance organ of North Carolina, owned by L. L. Polk, president of the National Alliance, says plainly that the allianeemen of the South should affiliate with the new party. These exact words are not used, but the advice given is plainly to that effect. Whenever the Farmers’ Alli ance becomes an oath-bound polit ical party, its membership will be at once materially decreased, and the organization for agricultural progression will b.e such only in name.

Ga, Now and then, daring these snl- * try spring days, the heat is relieved by a passing breeze. We mop our dewy brows and exclaim, “how mcef’ This reminds ns that the heat of hard times has only been re lieved by the “breezy” prices we have “originated” and “establisfi- ed.” Wo quote the words, because they represent purely what we have done. The same exclamation,“how nice,” is a common expression with in the walls of our store, and it comes every time from delighted customers, who adopt it as an ex pression of the delight at our goods . and prices. There’s no use talking, we have certainly got the clothing, the hats, the children’s suits, the famishing goods, and everything that goes with a first class clothing house. So. why shouldn’t we do the business? Others say they have the same, but why don’t they do the trade? The answer is plain, Either the goods are faulty, or the prices. Both must match. You can’t combine poor goods and high prices. If you have shoddy goods, you will do well to givo ’em away. If ypu have good goods, you must make tho prices moderate. That’s the only combination that goes. And that’s the way we do it. The secret’s your’s now, and ail we ask for tell ing yon, is that you show your good judgment by taking advantage of it. Others have done it, and why j not yon? Your money is worth as much as their’s. and will go as far.
