Jao.H. HOBOES, Editor and Publisher
Perry, Thursday, January 18.
A good fruit crop is anticipated in
Georgia this year.
Got. McLaubin, of Mississippi, is
seriously ill with pneumonia.
Georgia farmers will do well to
use guano sparingly this year.
Republican opposition to commer
cial trusts is a delusion and a snare:
Tbust guano is. not a good
to use in producing low-priced cot
ton. /
The prominent politician who is
agreeable to republicans is not a fit
leader for democrats.
Use the barn yard to fertilize the
farm, and the farm will supply the
needs of the bain yard abundantly.
Macon policemen have been in
structed to enforce against the
“clubs” the law prohibiting the sale
of liquor 'on-Sunday.
—.-SB*'- - —
A factory ‘ making buggy and
wagon wheels .will begin work at
Macon on the 1st of February next.
The company is capitalized at $25,-
000,000'.
If Hon. W. j. Bryan was the
choice of republicans as the demo
cratic candidate for president, the
democrats would be foolish to nom
inate bim.
The fund to erect a monument to
the memory of Lieut. Brumby now
amounts to nearly $1,500. The mon
ey' is being furnished by popular
subscription.
Among the hundreds of dogs reg
istered in Macon there is not one
named Sampson, though many bear
the name of Dewey, Schley, Wheel
er, Brumby, Winship, etc.
Thebe is a syrup and sugar refin
ery in successful operation at Colum
bus, and farmers within trading dis
tance of that city find ready sale for
their syrup at remunerative prices.
Sugab refining in Georgia is des
tined to ,be an important industry.
Georgia syrup is the best, and there
is no reason why the very best sugar
should not be made of it in Georgia,
Mb. Aabon French, of Pittsburg,
Pa., has given $3,500 to the Georgia
School of Technology, to defray the
expenses of the sub-apprentice class,
which had been closed for lack of
funds.
At last the Atlanta Constitution
advocates the nomination of judges
and solicitors by circuit primary.
The Constitution is generally right
when it ascertains the drift of pub
lic. opinion.
Republicans throughout the Union
are conspiring to prevent the nomi
nation of Hon. W. J. Bryan as the
democratic candidate for president.
The man whom the republicans fear
is most likely to be the man whom
the democrats need.
The agricultural exports from the
United States during the five years
from 1894 to 1898 inclusive, had an
annual average value of $663,534,-.
201. Of the total, more than one-
half went to England, next_in order
being Germany' and France, the
three'countries taking nearly 75 per
cent, of our agricultural exports.
The other countries buying our ag
ricultural products are, Belgium,
Canada,. Netherlands, Italy, Spain,
Cuba, Brazil, Denmark, Mexico,
British West Indies, British Africa,
Russia, China, Japan, Portugal, Nor
way, Sweden, Hayti, Australia, Ans-
tro-Hungary/ Venezuela, British Gu
iana, Oceaniea;
:
nThebe are in Georgia 72 cotton
mills . operating 810,000 upindles,
employing 19,000 persons, and rep
resenting an aggregate capital of
$12,377,000. There are cotton mills
in 38 counties, and knitting mills in
14. Sixty-five counties are now en
deavoring to secure textile factories,
and 12 factories are now in course
of construction. There is. not only
steady increase on this line in Geor
gia, but in all the cotton producing
states. This is right, and will revo
lutionize the business of the south,
greatly benefitting the agricultural
industry as well as commercial in
terests.
Each Plan In Sis Place.
At the Perry Methodist church
last Sunday morning Rev. T. W.
Ellis, the pastor, preached an able
an instructive sermon from the text,
“And every- man stood in his'place.”
The basis of fhe text was the dispo
sition of Israelitish soldiers just be
fore a great battle with their ene
mies. -The applications as the po
sition and attitude of Christian peo
ple in the performance of spiritual
duty. * ,
With equal force the. text can be
applied to business, social and polit
ical affairs. No matter what it is
that needs to be done, if every man
stands faithfully in his place and
earnestly performs the duty before
him, the service will be well done,
and his own interests greatly ad
vanced.
In business, in society, in politics,
the individual responsibility of each
and every person is ever present, and
Given and Received.
.
We noticed last week the presen
tation, in behalf of the Perry Bap
tist church and choir, of a gold-
headed cane and souvenir spoons to
Dr; and Mrs. Wm. J.bEEoltzclaw and
Mrs. _C. T. Lawson. Following' are
the speeches of presentation and ac
ceptation.
MB. BBUNSON’S SPEECH.
Db. Holtzclaw;—
The Apostle James devotes a
whole chapter of his epistle to a dis
cussion of the unreliability and un
ruliness of one of the chief members
of the human body—the tongue. He
cautions his readers as to a careful
use of this little member, and likens
it to’the little rudder of an immense
ocean vessel thakgnides fhe ship ei
ther into the calm and peaceful wa
ters or into .the dark and raging
whirlpools. This little member, the
tongue, has severed aiauy a friend
ship. On the other hand, it has
the failure of one to faithfully meet | ggrved to bind human hearts more
that responsibility in some degree closely together, and to soothe and
effects the -interests of the entire
community.
Above all, the man who does not
stand faithfully in his place cannot
succeed in any undertaking. He will
not be successful in "business, he can
not occupy a desirable place in soci
ety, and in politics, he is sure to be
hurtful, to all with whom he comes
in contact.
No person can escape individual
responsibility, and at all times the
influence of the individual is felt,
whether it be good or bad.
Teachers’ meeting:.
There will be a teachers’ meeting
at Wells ton on Saturday, January
27 th. We cordially invite all the
teachers of Houston county to be
present, and feel .sure that you will
be more than repaid by your at
tendance. Especially do we urge
those in the upper part of the coun
ty to come, as they are in reach of
Wellston.
•It is very important that we hold
these meetings. You will gain sev
eral inches in stature, be refreshed
and encouraged to go on with your
work by getting hints as' to meth
ods, plans and purposes from fellow
teachers. In no other way, be it
books, papers or normal study, can
you get so much help in so short
time as in such a meeting.
A teacher must grow and gain
new strength or he loses that he has.
Just as the giant who sprang from
Mother Earth lost. his strength and
was conquered, when he was lifted
from contact with the earth, so
teachers will lose their strength un
less they have a constant source of
supply.
Your work will be easier, the chil
dren’s faces brighter, and the school
room more pleasant by' reason of
new life infused into the teachers’
hearts. "* -
We will give a programme of
work in the next issue of the Home
Joubnal,
Remember the time is Saturday
week. C. O. L.
The Chicago platform of 1896 has
been vindicated by providence. The
candidates contending for that plat
form received more than half of the
votes cast in the presidential elec
tion,- and their contention has not
only not been disproved, but has
been verified by the course of events.
The demand for the restoration of
silver was based upon the need for
more money, and the securing.of
more money through the new dis
coveries of gold provided that for
which the Chicago platform con
tended. It was not the gold stan
dard, nor the failure to restore silver
as a basic money, that held the
country prosperous, but the double
supply of gold that came with the
new gold mines opened to the world.
It is said there is not a blood
hound in Georgia. This assertion
was made by Judge J. S. Turner, of
the state prison commission, in con
nection with the request from a citi
zen of Boston, Mass., for information
that wonld lead to his possession of
a blood hound. Lessees of_ convicts
in Georgia say they keep' hounds
that will trail men, but that they
never saw a blood hound of the sort
sometimes read of newspapers and
books.

the important results of this meet
ing was the declaration in favor of
official reports of cotton crops from
the several states, to be furnished
officially by the tax assessors, or re

Repubkican opposition to Hon. W.

ommendation.

comfort wounded spirits-
We come to-night with a just and
tftie appreciation of your many vir
tues, social and mental. We all con
cede that you are a handsome man.
But we dare say that, in spite of
these attractions, your ; own tongne
was moved with a most persuasive
eloquence before you gained the la
dy who is now the queen of your
heart and home. So we realize that
a proper use of the tongue is a seri
6ns matter. And it my feeble tongue
should fail to express the sincere
love and esteem your people here
feel for you, .glance at the faces
about you and see written there
what no words of mine can express.
Your stay with us as pastor of our
church has seemed but a brief span,
and it is difficult for any of us to re
alize that the first year of your min
istry with us is drawing to a close.
We all believe in divine direction
and providence. Surely that divine
direction was manifested when God’s
hand, led you to feed us with His
wondrous truths. Since you have
come to us, a deeper interest has
arisen in religions work, our church
has awakened from its lethargy, and
the .precious seeds of truth that you
have sown are bearing fruit to the
honor, and glory of God. For all of
these things let us render thanks to
Almighty God.
No doubt you, like the other sons
of Adam, have had your trials and
disappointments. But trials and dis
appointments are lightened when
love and fellowship abound. . And if
this will be a source of joy and en
couragement to you, ive are here to
assure you that you have the; love
and confidence of the mein Gera of
the Ferry Baptist Church.
In behalf of those among whom
you labored so faithfully aud earn
estly for the past year, let me pre
sent you with this cane, with our
sincere appreciation for your past
services, and with assurances -of our
hearty co-operation with you in the
year to ctjme.
May God give you and yours such
blessings as He who alone knows the
peculiar needs of each individual can
bestow.
DR. HOLTZCLAw’s REPLY.
Ladies and Gentlemen:-—
It affords me the greatest of pleas-
use, to accept this magnificent token
of the love you have shown for. me
and the esteem in which I am held
by you. “A thing of beauty is a joy
forever.” I could appreciate this
splendid gift for its intrinsic value
alone, but I appreciate it for a much
greater and more ennobling reason;
for it conveys to me the friendship,
sympathy and co-operation of an ex
cellent people. I am, therefore, pro
foundly grateful to each and every
one who has contributed to this my
joy and happiness; but it reminds
me of that joy and happiness which
is the fruit of a love which shall
never die. Since the speaker has so
eloquently spoken of the past year’s
work in which it has. been my lot,
under God, to lead you, it gives me
much gratification to say that a
faithful church always makes a suc
cessful pastor. Our work has been
of the most pleasant character and
we have labored together in the
most perfect Harmony and unity.
“Behold, how good and how pleas
ant it is for brethren to dwell to
gather in unity. It is like the pre
cious ointment on the head, that ran
down upon the beard, even Aaron’s
beard: that went down to the skirts
of his garments; As the dew of Her-
mon, and as the dew that descended
■upon the mountains of Zion: for
there the Lord commanded the
blessing, even life for evermore.
We learn from the Old Book, the
King of Books, that Moses saw the
waters of the Red Sea give way as
he streched out his rod at the
Lord’s command, and he was ena
bled to lead the army of Israel safe
ly through to victory; so I trust it
shall be my pleasure, by the grace
of God, to lead you with the rod of
inspired truth, from conquests unto
victories. We are also told in the
It has been demonstrated repeat
edly iu every state in the Union
and in many foreign countries that
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is a
certain preventive and care for
croup. It has become the nniver
sal remedy for that disease. JVI. V
Fisher of Liberty, W. Ya , only re
peats what has been said around
the globe when he writes: ' “I have
used Chamberlain's Cough Reme
dy in my family for several years
and always with perfect success.
We believe that if to -not only the
best remedy, butthat it is a sure
cure for croup. It baa saved the
lives of pur children a number of
times. This remedy is for sale by
all dealers.
Old Book that Jacob in his old age
leaned oir the top of his staff and
pronounced a blessing on the heads
of the children of Joseph, so if T am
permitted to live to be old I hope to
be counted worthy to pronounce a
blessing upon the heads of your
children.
As for my wife, to whom the
speaker so kindly referred concern
ing her gifts in song, and _as the
pastor’s’ helper, it was not' a ready
tongue that won her so much as an
untiring perseverance. I pray that
she may be even more useful during
the year info which we have jrist en
tered.
I am proud of these beautiful sil
ver spoons from the members of our
church choir, and will ever hold
them as a reminder of your kind-ap
preciation. I am sure "that onr dear
sister, Mrs. C. T. Lawson, ,will ap
preciate here as organist,/and wife
will now speak for herself..
MBS. HOLTZCLAW’S REPLY.
Kind Friends:—
It is useless for me to say this is a
happy surprise for me. You can tell
that by looking into my face. If I
should try to express my thanks for
this beautiful spoon words would
fail me. I have never sung with a
choir where. I learned to love each
member so tenderly as I love each
of yon. And if I am to judge from
the elegant gift yon have presented,
I am persuaded that you have room
in your hearts for your pastor’s wife.
Thanking you again and again, let
me ask—
May our mutual love Be as lasting and bright
As the lovely spoon you’ve presented to-night.

riYTHE jObfiF,
As to whether 1900 closes or be
gins a century seems to be a puzzle
tcTmany wise inen. As the subject
has been well discussed in many pa
pers, I will not bore the readers of
the Journal more than to say that
if it takes 100 years to make one
century it will take 1900 years to
make nineteen centuries. Why all
this difference of opinion? I never
heard a word of it at the close of
the eighteenth century!
This will be one of the years that
come along every four years, when
all officers, from president down, are
to lg elected. Of course good men
wilP be elected, as none but good
men ever offer for office.
The warehouse at Deunard fell
down last week, after having done
service for more than half a century.
I believe that only two of the first
houses ever built" here remain, and
only one person left that knew Had
dock’s mill-when first built.
Farmers generally have plenty of
labor,' and everything is moving off
nicely. From what little talk I have
heard-on the guano question, I think
it.will be used very liberally. Some,
fearing a guano famine, have al-
reckly Bought and hauled home. It
is too’early to say what the acreage
in'‘any one crop will be, but as farm
ers made a little money last year,
they will lose some this, or “bust” a
trying. A big cotton crop well trim
med with high-priced guano is the
way to do it. If everything hits
right we will have plenty of biscuit
to eat (after awhile) and the mules
plenty of oats. A very, large crop
of both, though a little nipped, is
beginning to put on a healthy ap
pearance.

W. II. MELVIN, Fort Talley, Ga.
The Atlanta Constitution offers a $3,000
cash prize contest for January, February
and March, 1900, as follows:
To the person sending a yearly sub
scription to The Weekly Constitution, to
gether* with the correct estimate on the
cotton receipts at New Orleans during
the first seven months of the present
cotton year (September 1, 1S99, to April
1. 1900)—
$1,500 If estimate Is received during
January. .
$1,000 If estimate Is received* during
February.
$500 if estimate is received during March.
The above are for the exact estimates;
there are besides these six prizes, rang-'
ing along, $500, $400. $250, $150, $125 and $75,
amounting to $1,500. that will be paid out
sure for the six nearest estimates to
me New Orleans cotton receipts at any
time during the three months of the con
test. But you hit it exactly during Jan
uary and secure the full $1,500 prizo
check. ’ "
The Constitution believes somebody will
hit the figures exactly and expects to
pay out the full amount of the prizes
offered—$3,000 in all. *In a Constitution
contest upon the same subject in 1895
Mr. R. T. Poole, of Capels Mills, N. C.,
hit the exact figures and received a
check for $1,000 as his prize. Mr. Poole
did not try to swell himself up at once,
but very generously paid off a mort
gage on his father’s home place and with
the balance he very wisely educated'him
self at Trinity college, Durham, N. C. He
is now doing well in business in North
Carolina and lives still near his old home.
It is needless to say he is a warm friend
<-f The Constitution.
As a guide in making* estimates upon
the New Orleans ^ort receipts, The Con
stitution gives the, following figures, com
piled from statistics of the past four,
years:*

September 1, 1899, up through the Friday
Immediately preceding the publication.
This will keep you posted to within two
or three days of the time you send in
your estimate.
It.is believed that some* of the Texas
crop, that as a rule is sent in bulk to
New Orleans, will be diverted this year
to other points because of the quaran
tine regulations against New Orleans.
The effort of Louisiana to have -quaran
tine raised by injunction from United
States courts will, not have very soothing
effect upon the direction of cotton ship
ments to New Orleans. This is mentioned
simply as a pointer in making up esti
mates; how much to allow. If anything,
for this cause must be left to each man's
judgment
T!ie-$3,000 contest Is an express contract
to which The Constitution will stand in
every particular. Yet It Is In its nature
simply an advertisement bv which The
Constitution, combined with this paper

munity. Send us the subscription to The

The Weekly Constitution for 1900 will
be better than ever before. Its special
news features are unsurpassed. The Boer-
British war. the Philippine and Cuban
operations, the busy session of the most
important congress that has ever as
sembled. the beginning of the Issues of
the presidential campaign of this vear
and the debates and speeches during it,
progress; the final result of the Novem-
ber elections, the development of ‘he
south’s great industrial movements- ai
versified farm and village industries’ and
thousands of other Important things win
be found fully and freely discussed in The
Weekly Constitution for the year. The
Farm and Farmers’ page, the Woman's
Kingdom, the Southern Pulpit, the Chil
dren’s Page and other Interesting depart
ments will be ably conducted and will
be-especially adapted to those addressed.
The ringing editorials of The Constitution
speaking right out In meeting exactly
what it means In the advocacy of true
democratic doctrine and In behalf of the
great interests of the masses of our plain
people, and protecting them ; from the
grasping greed of those who -would wring
their earnings from their helpless hands,
are alone worth the subscription price
of the paper over and again. „
The Constitution has long stood as the
champion of. the people and has sent its
shafts deep into the errors and evils that
threaten and beset the masses. Its com
plete expose of the methods of Neill, n(
New Orleans, and the shattering of the
influence of this prophet of big cotton
crops, and apostle of ruinously low prices,
and high priest of robbery, who has cost
the southern farmers hundreds of millions
of dollars, ought to win for The Consti
tution the lasting gratitude of the whole
south. The advice to farmers to organ
ize against the trust that would increase
the price of fertilizers and fertilizer ma
terials for the home compost heap, and
taking up the cudgel in behalf of the
farmers against the combination that
wonld put a fresh burden upon them, is
sound and valid, and ought to be heedeA
The bulwark of the people’s rights and
the best method of defense will often be
found In a great paper, ably and fearless
ly edited, upon which the people may rely,
not only for news of the ordinary events
of government, army. and. political life,
but also for an alert foresight of the trend
of future events that may operate to our
lasting damage. The downfall of Neill;
the breaking down of the fertilizer trust;
the upbuilding of all southern interests,
and the enlightenment of every village. •
farm and mountain home are among The
Constitution's many high alms and great
ideas for 1900. That these interests may
all he well served, and with the same un
swerving fidelity to the people that The
Constitution has always shown, goes
without saying. ~
The management of The Constitution,
with Mr. Clark Howell as editor-in-chief,
and his well disciplined corps of stag
writers, brilliant contributors and special
correspondents, still under the faithful
leadership of Colonel William A. Hemp
hill as business manager, will remain the
same for the new year. The Constitu
tion’s long and honorable business course,
keeping faith with the people In all Its
contracts, contests and engagements, as
well as in Its consistent and conspicuous
editorial fairness, places it among those
reliable Institutions of our country on
which the people may depend.
