PRICE, 91.60 A YEAS, IN ADVANCE. PaMIsIied Every Thursday Morning. Jno.H, HODGES, Editor and Publisher Perry, Thursday, September 20. Copies of this paper may be found on file at the office of our Washington cor respondent, E. G. Siggers, 918 F. Street, N. W., Washington, D. O. Pees. Kruger has escaped from South Africa, and will take refuge in Holland. There was snow in Wisconsin last Sunday, with the thermometer at 20 degrees above zera. Wesleyan Female College opened the fall term with over 212 students, and there will be more. Georgia towns and villages with out manufacturing are not increas ing in population and prosperity. (PIThe people of Macon and their visitors will have a big tini3 during the street fair in that city next week. Good prices for cotton counter acts the ills of a short crop. Geor gia farmers are nearer financial in dependence than in many years. The southern farmer will gain an other signal business victory when sweet potatoes become a staple arti cle of commerce in the north and east. Delegates to the Cuban constitu tional convention were elected in all the provinces of the island last Sun day. The election was quiet at all points. The coal miners’ strike in Penn sylvania will give practical denial of the republican claim of increasing wages and prosperity among labor ing people. In point of post-office receipts, Atlanta is in a list of thirty leading cities of the United States. The Gate City is sure to be in the push continually. Col. John P. Shannon, former leg islator, state senator and past grand master of the Grand Lodge of Ma sons in Georgia, died at his home in Elberton last Sunday morning. There should be no lukewarmness in Georgia politics because of the certainty of democratic success in the state. Our nominated candi dates are entitled to a full vote. There has been more fighting in China between international troops and Boxers, and it is feared much more will follow. There is much disagreement between the powers. During September and October there will be several street fairs and two agricultural and industrial fairs in Georgia cities—at Augusta, Ma con, Columbus, Albany, Atlanta and Valdosta. Mckinley’s letter of acceptance was a disappointment to his politi cal friends, who considered it lack ing in strength. Democrats are sat isfied it will not help the_republican cause materiallv. A Jones county fair is being held at Bound Oak this week. For prac tical home benefits, county fairs are better than those on a more expen sive scale. It would materially ad vance the agricultural interests of the state should there be a fair in each county in Georgia every year. The war in South African has been about ended, though there are a few thousand Boers under arms, and terms of peace have not been arranged. The brave defenders of liberty in the Transvaal and the Or ange Free State were simply defeat ed by the overwhelming force of •numbers. The Road to Prosperity. Progressive steps in business are the only means by which individu als and communities can get into the road to prosperity. As the farmers gain headway on the road to prosperity, nearing the goal of financial independence, cer tain lines of mercantile businsss must necessarily be curtailed, unless there be an increase of population through the introduction of indus tries that make of raw materials ar ticles of use. In other words, communities oth er than those devoted entirely to agriculture cannot continue progres sively prosperous without manufac turing industries of some character. Figures of the recent census al ready show that those towns and cities have grown in population most wherein factories have been established since 1890. Without exception every cotton mill, or other factory, established in Georgia within recent years has caused an increase of population and prosperity where located. The argument and the illustration are not new, and the full force thereof is recognized by all thinking busi ness men. Strange to say, however, the people of some towns fail to catch the inspiration, and seem con tent to jog along in the old rats and take what comes their way. * There are numbers of instances where factories have been built od installment payments of subscrip tion, going steadily on in the work of making goods for the people gen erally and profits for the stockhold ers. Bonaire Agricultural Club. Mb. Editor:—In your issue of two or three weeks ago you remarked that “you did not know whether our agricultural society had been organ ized or not.” Yes, we organized, with a good number of members, both men and women, but we have Endured Dentil Agonies. Only a roaring fire enabled J. M. Garrettson, of San Antonio, Tex., to lie down when attacked by Asthma, from which he suffer ed for years. He writes his mis ery was often so great that it seemed he endured the agonies of .. . _ 0 death; but Dr. Kings New Discov- not had-a meeting since. We pro- eT y for Consumption wholly cured The Macon Street Fair. Beginning next Monday, next week will be full of sight-seeing in Macon. The street fair will occupy a half- mile of the park on Third street, and pleasure will reign throughout. There will be a floral parade; agri cultural, industrial, commercial, flo ral, stock, chicken and other exhib its will be presented in attractive style. Amusements will be present ed in great variety, jnusic, parades, shows, extraordinary displays of fire works at night, street masquerade, crowning of the floral queen, etc., besides a brigade reunion of confed erate veterans. Enumerate all the attraciions we cannot, but there will be free show enough all the time, day and night. The railroabs have arranged con venient schedules, going in early and coming out late, and the pas sengar rate is one fare for the round trip. Besides all this, you can trade while in the city. As to choice firms to buy from, read the advertise ments in the Home Journal. Held for stricken Galveston has been heartily accorded from all sec tions of this country, and from Eng land, the aggregate amount contrib iited being more than $1,000,000 in value. The latest estimate is that the death list is more than 5,000, and the property loss many millions. It is said the city will be rebuilt. Editor McIntosh of the Albany Herald says: “We have enjoyed many a good country dinner in south Georgia which probably did not cost five cents a plate. Not on ly cheap living, but good living as well, is had in the country by thrift and by producing a variety of food crops on the farm.” With the complications in China and the contentions with the uncon querable Fifipinos, this government seems to be tending toward an un enviable position “between the devil and the deep blue sea.” To avoid such a situation the defeat of Mc Kinley in the November election is necessary. In a great battle the odds are al ways against the party attacking an entrenched position. The republican- party is so situated, and the demo crats must use their superior ammu nition and patriotism to the very best advantage, else they cannot capture the stronghold. Mr. T; A. Jacobs, who has been with Eads, Neel & Co. for the past ten years, ha 3 associated^ himself with our force, and will welcome his many friends who call upon him, giving them his personal attention. pose to meet once a month—Satur day 3 p. m. before the third Sunday —and cordially invite all who feel interested in the prosperity and wel fare of the farmers. Let us give our experiences, “ups and downs,” and benefit each other, f After we get to moving on, we propose to have contests on different products, not for the ..money that will be in them, but for pleasure and improvement in our methods of farming. We know and well re member the benefits resulting from the “Idyle Wild” club of the past, and why should not the Bonaire Club of the present approximate its results? We can see no reason to prevent. Only let each member, male and female, put their hearty good will to the wheels and push with a vim. Much good will be ac complished, agriculturally and so cially. We don’t propose to mar or im pede “The Cotton Growers’ Pro tective Association” interest- in the least, but do all we can to benefit ourselves. We charge no fee for membexship. It will cost only a little time (a half day per month), for which we ex pect good pay. More anon. Respectfully, Quid. Hon. W. J. Bryan’s letter of ac ceptance was published Tuesday. It is characteristic of the man, strong, clear, positive. He illustrates the strong points of the democratic plat form, and points out republican du plicity and weakness. As before^he emphasizes imperialism as the para mount issue, but shows the great harm being done by trusts, and gives his positive views concerning all other issues pertinent to the campaign. Another missing word contest has been arranged by the Atlanta Week ly Constitution for September and October. One-tenth of the money received on subscriptions during the time will be divided between the cash subscribers who supply the cor rect word. The sentence is as fol lows: “There are a number ■ of our men here among the residents and hidden in the cloisters; but for the fear of the they do not let themselves be seen.” Subscribe for the Weekly Constitution at this of- 'fiee, and get the two gapers- one year for $2.10. Each such subscrib er is entitled to a guess. Thl Macon Shoe Co. begins busi ness auspiciously, with good men in control'and good goods in the store. The members of the company need no introduction to Houston people. In addition to members of the com pany, Messrs. H. V. Balkcom and F. W. Kilpatrick, formerly with Roff Sims & Co., are serving customers with their accustomed cleverness. The half-page advertisement in the Home Journal this week gives fit ting introduction to this worthy es tablishment—not one word too much is said. Call and see. Miss Jewett,- the Boston white woman who proposed to lead a cru sade in the south against lynching, was refused the opportunity of ad dressing a colored church conven tion in Richmond last week. Her attitude is repudiated by leading negroes throughout the south. him. -This marvelous medicine is the oply known cure for Asthma as well as Consumption, Goughs and Colds, and all Throat, Chest, and Lung troubles.

Southwest Georgia will see times of wonderful prosperity this fall and winter unless the bottom drops out of the cotton market. Our farmers are learning the lesson of diversified farming, and their cotton brings in surplus money to provide comforts and luxuries for the home,—Bain- bridge Democrat. For the lack of room and suffi cient money appropriation, 400 or morejchildren were denied admission to the public schools of Atlanta.

Pope Brown is expected soon to announce himself a candidate to succeed Gov. Candler as governor of Georgia in 1902. He has a strong following now, and with a clever campaign will win. Roosevelt seems to be the mouth piece of the republican campaign, It is certainlv large and loud enough to fill the bill. Bryan is a one-term man, and pledges himself not to offer for re election if chosen president. ’ A TEXAS WONDER.
