W., Washington, D. C. Tariff protection is the life of manufacturing trusts. *-♦.-* Hon. E. B. Lewis returned to his home at Montezuma last Fridav. Georgia state democratic conven tion at Atlanta to-day—Thursday, June 14th. Peace trust-made articles on the tariff free list, and the power trnsts will be defeated. Republican misdeeds should in sure the election of a democratic president and a majority of demo cratic congressmen. Material has been ordered to build, a cotton, factory at Eastman Ga., the charter having been grant ed by the superior court of that cir cuit. A membership certificate iu the New York cotton exchange sold for §3,000 last Friday. The privilege to gamble legally seems to be a valua ble franchise in the metropolis. The citizens of Forsyth will vote on June 30th on tie question of is suing bonds at G per cent to redeem bonds issued in 1885 and 1886 bear ing interest at 7 and 6 per cent, re spectively. The House of Representatives passed a bill to destroy the power of trusts, but the republicans of the Senate refused to permit its consid e’ration by that body during the ses sion just closed. It has not been officially declared that Georgia republicans must vote for the populist candidates for state offices, but it is presumable such or ders will be issued privately to the men who control. At Philadelphia on June 19th the republican national convention will meet, and President McKinley will be renominated without opposition. .It is not yet clear who the candidate for vice president will be. Ex-Senator David B. Hill of New York is being mentioned as the prop er man for the democratic conven tion to nominate for vice president. The New York delegates are in structed for Hon. W. J. Bryan. The social equality cranks of stilt ed New England will have the op portunity to vote their convictions next fall, if they really believe what they say on this question. There will be a negro presidential ticket in the field. The republican leaders are trust ing the trusts to furnish the money to procure enough votes to elect the republican president and sufficient republican congressmen to maintain the power of the trusts over the peo ple and federal .legislation. People in Coffee county are ex tensively kicking against the execu tion o£ the dog law enacted by the last legislature and endorsed by the grand jury of that county. The con tention is that the law does not be come operative until next January. Our declaration that there will be a Houston democrat in the third district race for . congress two years hence does not ia any degree change our conviction that Hon. E. B. Lew is has served' his constituents and the democratic party with faithfnl efficiency. Columbus, Ohio., may be made campaign headquarters of the na tional democratic executive commit tee. There may be much political significance in this proposition to locate democratic headquarters so near the home of the republican president. The carpet-bag policy that de frauded and humiliated the south directly after the war between the states, is now prevailing in Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philip pine Islands. Republicanism is the same in effect, under whatever guise you find it Last Thursday the secretary of the TJ. S. treasury issued the second of a series of calls to be made on de pository banks for §5,000,000, to be turned into the treasury on or be fore June 25. It seems-the purpose of these loans without interest has been served. It is devoutly hoped that after this year July 4th -will be a demo cratic as well as American celebra tion day. . The nomination on July 4th next should be a declaration of independence that will free the masses of unjust legislative discrimi nation in favor of certain classes. Within the last ien years or more all the conditions have tended to in crease the commercial imp. rtance of the cities and to decrease the oppor tunities of the towns and villages. The increase of transportation facil ities with the consequent favors in freight rates accorded the cities by the railroads have increased the ability of the city merchants to crush out the competition of ambi tions “country” merchants. Country people are placed in closer touch with the cities by the cheap rates frequently given, aud all other con ditions favor the cities against the towns. Then again, cross-roads stores have multifiled within the last sev eral years, increasing the wholesale trade of the cities and decreasing the business of the country towns. As a matter of business concern ing the masses of the people, this may be in accord’ with the legiti mate rules of commerce, but it is directly antagonistic to the pro gressive prosperity of the counties in which no cities are located. Whatever tends to exhance the prosperity of a town, adds to the taxable property and general pros perity of the county in which that town is localed. There are a few exceptions to the above conditions,but they have been created by the foresight and energy of progressive men. There is but one way to withstand the absorbing influence of city energy and enter prise, and that is by the establish ment of manufacturing enterprises in the towns. Hundreds of cotton mills have been constructed in the south with in the last fifteen years, and without exception all have yielded direct profit to the stockholders, and pros ferity to the towns and communities of their location. It is a sound proposition to say that in Georgia all the cotton grown should be manufactured into yarns or cloth in the state. We will go further, and say that in each county the cotton grown in that county should be manufactured. This would at least double the home profit on cotton. In Houston to-day there is not a pound of cotton manufactured, and yet it is in the front rank of cotton producingjcountieSjin and all respects one of the first in the state. There should be several cotton factories in Houston. If not, wbv not? BY JoK BEDGS. There has been “maDy a slip be twixt the cup and the lip” since we commrmicated with the Journal rel ative to our little town. So we will jnst name a few items that we may not be erased from your memory. On the first Sunday Rev. G. P. Reviere filled his regular appoint-{ Notice to Peacli and Melon Shippers. Mr T. C.

WILLINGHAM, Mi, A Negro Ticket. Concerning the proposed national negro party, and the consequent ne gro candidates on a presidential ticket, our Washington correspond ent writes as follows: “Talk of the formation of a negro party, which is to be headed by prominent men of that race, has aroused much discussion in this city. The republican managers pooh-pooh the idea, and it may be it will end in nothing as they say. Yet experi enced politicians discern in it the el ements of a scheme which, if adroit ly worked up in skillfal hands, might play an important part in the presi dential election. The emotional and sentimental nature of the negro race could, it is said, be easily aroueed to pitch of enthusiasm over the proj ect -to put up candidates for presi dent and vice president and electo ral tickets iu every state. Thanks to to republican legislation and repub lican policy, the negroes have just as much right to put up candidates of their own race as the whites. If they should come to such a deter mination there are no difficulties in the way of carrying it out. It is to be taken for granted the democrats would look kindly on the proposi tion. Perhaps they would not be grudge setting aside a portion of their campaign fund to assist, even though by so doing they might risk creating a Frankenstein rthat Would not down.” The supposed killing of Aguinal-. do by IJ. S. troops in the Philip pines last., week has not been veri fied, but it. is certain, that Gen. Pio del Pilar, the most vicious of the In surgent leaders, was captured by a detachment of the 45th infantry- several days ago. But the war is not yet concluded. Famine in India. Famine prevails to an alarming extent in India, and the government there, is unable to afford adequate relief. Christians of the world are making contributions. The natives are dying by thousands from starva tion and disease. The Christian Herald of New York is in touch with the most effective relief work ers in India, the American mission aries of all denominations, and con tributions are being taken in all cit ies of this country. Humanity calls for gifts of money for the relief of these starving and disease-stricken people who cannot help themselves. The Home Journal will receive and acknowledge all contributions, large or small, and forward the same promptly. ’ Don’t delay. There is great need [ of promptness in this charity. Government reports say the ex ports of cotton from the United States in April, 1900, amonnj;ed to 264,044,318 pounds, against 134,- 597,328 pounds in April of last year. In value the April cotton export this year was §24,684,078, against §8,- 435,097, while the average priee in April 1900 was 9.3 cents per pound against 6.3 cents in April of last year. • THouph Pretoria, capital of the South African Republic, Johannes- had services in the afternoon also.' filed similar reports for lower 5th The protracted meeting will begin' aud upper 11th districts, here ou the first Sunday in July, j The bid of W.

Their many friends re gret their departure, but it may be thej' will return soine future day and the gloom be dispelled. Grain cutting and threshing is the order of the day. Many are through, while others have just begun. The yield of wheat has been upon an av erage 12 to 15 bushels per acre, and oats 20 to 25 bushels per acre. Mr. Willie Gilbert ha3 threshed the larg est qeantity of any one I have heard of—202 bushels of wheat from 13 acres without any fertilizer. Jake Rutherford, a negro, on the land of the O. E. Houser estate, planted 1J bushels of wheat and harvested *20 bushels, without fertilizers. Crops of all kinds are looking well, but the frequent rains have, caused them to get a little foul. The Hayneville Sabbath School enjoyed their annual picnic at Clark’s Bridge on June 1st. The occasion was most enjoyable. Fish, dainties, cool drinks and other good things were plentiful. A few from Grova nia joined these good people in their pleasure. Mr. Dempsey Brown, I hear, con templates studying law. Dempsey is a bright young man, and should he decide to take up this profession we bespeak for him much success. Wonder what has become of Col. Kunz. Come to see us.

It is said the farmers, will get a better price for their cotton by having it in the round-bale shape. Rev. W. H. Norton, pastor of the Fort Yalley Baptist church, occn pied the pulpit at Hayneville yester day and delivered a most excellent discourse. Text, Ephesians 2:3; sub ject, “Salvation by grace.” The peo T pie generally are favorably impress ed with Mr. Norton, and those who have not heard him expound the gospel should hear him. Miss Mary Brown is visiting her uncle, Mr. H. Clay Btowd, at Griffin. Miss Mary Ellis, who has been attending school at Gainesville, is spending vacation at home, but is now visiting relatives aud friends in Perry. Prof. G. W.

Brown, Jr., and family, Messrs. John, Jesse, Sam and Lawrence Ri ley, Miss Jennie Cook Riley, Mr. W. H. Harrison and wife, and a few im mediate relatives, met at the old res idence of Dr. Samuel A. Riley last Sunday and enjoyed a family reun ion dinner, in remembrance of the old homestead and past pleasures. Our merchants say their trade has been fairly good up to date, and look for ward for a liberal trade this ensuing fall. .Well, “Scrap” 1 am sorry your wheat came up short, hat am proud to know you expect to have a quantity of syrup.

Concerning the health of Judge A L. M Her, of whom every ciliz6n of Houston is a friend, the Macon Telegraph said last Saturday: “Judge A L. Miller has returned from Battle Creek, Mich., where he went about two months ago to recu perate from the attack of pneumonia which came so near causing his death in Macon. “Judge Miller is considerably im proved, although yet quite weak. He says he would have been re stored tp health some time ago but for several attacks of grip during his absence. These gave him a severe backset each time, and he made up hk mind to come home, where there is less liability of that trouble.” Capital City Bank, J. J.
