Perry, Thursday, November 17
The nest congress will be republi
can by a majority considerably re
duced.
| \ One regiment of the troops to be
encamped at Macon reached the
city last Sunday.
Gov. Candles has appointed his
staff officers, two colonels and forty-
two lieutenant colonels.
The first Georgia regiment will be
mustered out of service at Macon
to-morrow, November 18th.
Many Georgia farmers have be
come convinced that they will find
profit in the wheat, by and by.
Georgia legislators should bear in
mind continually that Georgia prop
erty owners are unalterably opposed
to any increase in the state tax rate.
There is nothing clearer to the
average minded man than that the
profits on cotton at 4 cents a pound
will not pay for guano and farm
supplies.
Dr. John Ingalls, one of the most
highly esteemed citizens of Macon, a
druggist, died suddenly of heart dis
ease at his home in that city last
Saturday night.
Sugar beets can be profitably
grown in Georgia, says Mr. B. D.
Lumsden, a progressive and success
ful farmer of Bibb county. He gives
reasons for his belief.
Any new appropriation by the
Georgia legislature that is not abso
lutely demanded by existing law,
will meet the severe condemnation
of Georgia tax payers.
Boosevelt was elected governor
of New York by a majority of 21,000
votes over Van Wyck, the democrat
ic candidate. The democrats gained
several congressmen in the state.
_
Preparations for the Peace Jubi
lee in Atlanta in December are pro
gressing satisfactorily. It is said
President McKinley and several
members of his cabinet will attend.
The late order for the third Geor
gia regiment to proceed to Savan
nah and there embark for Cuba on
the 22nd, has been suspended, and
the disposition of the regiment is in
doubt.
The Georgia legislators are busy
with tlio rn.l. oarn 11 In
hoped their chief desire is not the
enactment of new laws. Many we
have need re-modeling, but compar
atively few new ones are necessary.
The Emperor of Germany will vis
it Cartagena, Spain, next Saturday.
The Spanish press express the hope
that the Emperor will initiate some
sort.of European inretvention in be
half of Spain concerning the demand
of the United States for the Philip
pine Islands.
The very best result of the elec
tion last week is the redemption of
North Carolina from negro domina
tion in politics. It is regretable
that eleven negroes were killed and
three white men wounded, but the
great good accomplished stands out
clear and unmistakable.
Among the important measures in
troduced in the Georgia legislature
last week were, a bill to prohibit the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating
. liquors in the state; a bill to elect
the judges, soliaitors and bailiffs of
city and county courts by direct
vote of the people, a bill to tax all
dogs in the state; a bill to equalize
taxation.
Georgia legislators heretofore have
apparently failed to bear in mind
that the state is not a money tree
upon which funds grow luxuriantly
and free. The appropriations for
this and next year, to July 1899,
will exceed the income of the state
by §545,000 or more. If payment is
not provided for without an increase
of the tax rate, the next legislature
will be composed almost exclusively
of new representatives.
It is nothing short of dishonesty
to withhold property from the tax
books, yet it is believed there are
millions of such untaxed property in
Georgia. The legislature now in ses-
session should issue a search warrant
for this property and cause it to be
placed in competent hands for exe
cution. Such action, unhampered
by unnecessary and extravagant ap-
propriations for improvements, will
obviate the necessity for further in
crease in the tax rate. Perhaps a re
duction might be possible.
The Georgia farmer who won first
prize -for best collective exhibit of
farm products at the Omaha exposi
tion lives in Cobb county and culti
vates only 25 acres. His name is
John A. Manget, and his postoffic'e
is Marietta. He cultivates several
crops—no cotton; keeps strict ac
count of everything paid out and re
ceived, does much of the work him
self, and receives considerable as
sistance at the hands of his wife.
There is a fair bank account result
ing from the application of business
rules and methods to the cultivation
of 25 acres.
Tlie Burden of Taxation.
Id his message to the general as
sembly concerning the financial
condition of Georgia, Cov. Candler
says in snbstance that the stale
rate of taxation shall not be in
creased with his consent. For this
utterance the governor is applaud
ed thioughout the state, and it is
sincerely hoped the legislators will
obviate the necessity of any in
crease. In these times of high
money, high taxes are exceedingly
burdensome, and nothing should
stand in the way of a reduction of
the tax rate.
The recent official report of the
st'>te treasurer shows that the ex
penses of the state will exceed,
on the 1st of July next, the proba
ble income at least $554,000. Of
course this deficit must be met, but
the protest is unanimous against
any further increase in the tax
rate.
Of course the money to defray
the expenses of state government
mast come from the people in the
shape of taxes.
There is a demand for more tax
es, but the money must not come
from an increased rate, but from
such property as now avoids taxa
tion. It is recognized by all as a
fact that much personal property,
such as notes, stocks, etc., now es
cape taxation. The legislators ac
cept this as true, and a measure
has been introduced to remedy the
fault by tax equalization.
In addition to this, there should
be no additional appropriations to
the public institutions other than
existing law absolutely demands.
Improvements on public institu
tions can belter wait two or three
years than that the tax burden be
increased. There are thousands of
people in the state Who cannot pay
their debts, and it would be little
short of a crime for the legislators
to fail to give them the measure of
relief that a reduction ol the tax
rate would afford.
We would regret very much to
see the public school fund reduced,
but even that would be better than
to increase the tax burden upon
all the people.
We believe that it is right to
pay the pensions now provided by
state law, but the state can better
afford to re-arrange the pension
law so that pensions will be paid
only to needy veteraus and wid
owe, rather tbau further oppress
huu oi K Li iaxauon toe toiling
masses of the people.
It would be better even to issue
bonds to be paid 20 or 30 years
later.
The proposed additional appro
priations to the school of technolo
gy, to the dsaf and dumb asylum
and other public institutions can
be postponed for two years or
moee, but thousands of people in
the state are even now unable to
pay the taxes imposed, without
sacrifice.
[The demand for lower taxation is
argent, and nothing should stand
in its way. Certainly there should
be no new expenses created.
Why Not Nowl
The following from the Macon
Telegraph may be of interest to
Houston farmers:
“A recent article in The Tele
graph in regard to rice planting
reminds the writer that in the past
on alluvial river land from seventy-
five to 100 bushels of rough rice
per acre was easily, raised. The
variety planted was golden, or up
land, sown thinly in rows and cal
tivated as corn. The grain ripens
before the straw and the latter,
when threshed, makes an excellent
forage. The rough grain makes
when cleaned about three-sevenths
of clean rice of a quality much su
perior to the flooded rice of the
coast. No mill beiDg convenient;,
the slow and laborious method of
hulling by hand with a pestle and
mortar (wooden) was resorted to,
and as the method was so tedious
its culture was abandoned. Like
the Telegraph’s wheat, if the rice
was raised, the mills would come.
The straw grows from three to five
feet high. Seed of this golden
rice could formerly be procured in
Houston county.”
—Houston’s Representatives are
well placed on legislative commit
tees. Hon. J. P. Duncan is chair
man of the committee on corpora
tions, a member of the general ju
diciary, and several other iuipir-
tantcommittees. Hon. W. S. King
is a member of the committees on
agriculture, corporations and sev
eral others. They both will serve
faithfully and.well.
—Houston farmers belong to the
never-give-upr variety, and they’ll
be on top next year, be the price of
cotton what it may.
To Protect the Birds.
Mr. Editor:
There is in the bands of Mr. J. E,.
Miller, Tax Collector, a petition to
the members of the legislature rep
resenting Houston county, praying
! them to use their influence in hav
i ing the game laws of the state so
| changed, or amended, as will pro-
I tect the game from being slangh
tered, a3 has been ia the past by
sporting clubs and professional
hunters.
The baiting of fields to collect
the birds, aud then shooting tbern,
killing them by the thousand in a
few hours, to say nothing of those
that are wounded aud die in the
woods adjacent to tbe place of
slaughter, is an abomination to
civilization aud should be stopped.
The Macon Telegraph of August
19th, 5th page, contains an article
with head fines as follows:
“To protect the Game; Macon
Sportsmen are now taking active
steps; Letters sent to Judges; —
Want juries charged accordingly;
Jordan of Jasper will take np the
Reid-Warden bill to protect Game
in the State of Georgia.”
“The idea of the Macon sports
men is to have charges preferred
against every violator of the game
law. They say there has been no
general violation in Bibb county,
but there are a few specific cases,
and that they will proscute them
These violations have been princi
pally in the trapping of partridges,
which have been shipped to Cin
cinnati aud sold at 25 cents each,
but they propose to stop this prac
tice.”
Now, let me ask, who ever heard
of a more one sided affair? The
sp irtsmen prosecuting a poor fel
low for shipping a few birds to
Cincinnati and getting 25 cents
each for them, because the game
law forbids tbe fellow catching
them at a certain time of tbe year
But the sportsmen can bait a field,
collect tbe birds therein, set a day
to meet these with their guns and
kill the birds by the thousand; and
nothing said about destroying the
birds, or anv violation of law.
Why? Because tbe people have
kept their mouths shut, the sports
men have had their way; passed
such laws as suited them. But
the poor fellow in the country who
very seldom shoots a bird, if be
should kill a dove for his sick wife
or child during the prohibited
acaoouj lie ao proocoat-^d.
The sportsmen are the oupa who
are destroying the game. Stop
them and we will have plenty of
desirable game. I never beard of
any complaint about “scarce game”
until tbe sportsmen and profea
sioaal hunters set up a howl. One
man killing 400 birds (doves) in
one day;—he is destroying them
by wholesale.
Amend the law; don’t let any one
kill more than two dozen in one
day, and we will soon have enough
birds for all
Sign tbe petition in Mr. Miller’s
hands. Joel T. Walker.
[Mr. Walker is right. The pro
tection of birds should not be sole
ly for tbe pleasure of those who
shoot them for sport. The law is
right in prohibiting the shooting
and trapping of certain birds dur-
ing the breeding season, but it
does not go far enough. The kill
ing of thousands of "doves in one
day is altogether wrong,and should
be prohibited by law. In Houston
ten thousand or more doves have
been killed in one season, and for
several years thereafter they were
exceedingly scarce. Most of the
birds killed “by wholesale” have
bpen carried ont of the county by
men who came in for sport only
Ed.]
—The very best way to barrow
land af.er planting grain, says Col.
C. C. Dnncan, is to take an old
style cotton press chain sixty feet
long and drag itover the land. The
method is to hitch two mules to
each end, about fifty feet apart.
By this method 30 or 40 acres of
land a day cau be placed in strictly
first class condition—svery clod
pulverized and the land perfectly
smooth. Col. DaDcan got the idea
on Capt. John G. Brown’s farm
last year, and tried it to his entire
satisfaction on his own farm this
year.
The Georgia penitentiary central
farm has been located in Baldwin
county, near Milled geville. The pris
on commissioners last week selected
and purchased the land, 3,230 acres,
the purchase price of which was
something over §20,000. The busi
ness men of Miiledgeville donated
§5,000._

400 Pretty Homes and Gardens.
How general the use of photogra
phy is coming to be adopted by the
modem magazine as a means of il
lustration is shown in the announce
ment of The Ladies’ Home Journal
that it is abont to publish six new,
distinct series of articles which will
include hot less than 400 photo
graphs. The idea of the magazine
is to present one hundred of the
prettiest country homes in America,
to encourage artistic architecture;
one hundred of the prettiest gardens
to encourage taste in horticulture;
seventy churches decorated for fes
tal occasions of all kinds, such as
weddings, Christmas and Easter ser
vices, etc.; some forty of the pretti
est girls’ rooms in this country;
twenty-five floral porches and vine-
clad houses; and the story of the na
tive wild flowers in Amerila, told in
seventy-five photographs. Over 8,-
000 photographers, in every part of
the country, were employed by the
magazine to get these pictures, and
several thousands of dollars were
paid in prize awards for the best
photographs. The choice was made
ont of over 10,000 photographs re
ceived by the magazine.
