Congressional and presidential
election November 6 th.
The Georgia legislatnre convened
Wednesday, October 24th, at noon.
The populist vote in the - late
Georgia state election was about
23,000, about half their vote of two
years ago.
The registration of voters in Great
er New York shows an increase of
more than 66,000 over the registra
tion of 1896.
Be the result of the presidential
election what it may, Hon. W. J.
Bryan will not again be a candidate
for president.
Ie
.on November 6 th money is
rated above manhood, McKinley
will be elected president; otherwise
Bryan will be elected.
Gen. Leonard Wood, governor
general of Cuba, in his civil report,
makes a very delightful picture of
the conditions of the island.
Mrs. W. J. Bryan will join her
husband in New York next Satur
day, and continue with him during
the remainder of the campaign.
Full moon on November 6 th mfty
give ns a decided change of weath
er; a full vote that day will give us
a positive change in federal govern
ment.
Ip Hon. J. Pope Brown will keep
in good favor with the farmers
throughout the state, without du
plicity, he will be the next governor
of Georgia.
The Philippine commission has
appropriated $475,000 in gold for
the payment of expenses incurred
for benefit of the government of the
islands during October.
William S. Jennings, the demo
cratic candidate for governor of
Florida, whose election is certain, is
a first cousin of William J. Bryan,
democratic candidate for president.
Hanna’s political tactics indicate
that he has changed the wording of
an old adage so that in its applica
tion to the republican campaign it
now reads: “Money makes the man
vote.”
It is reported from New York city
that the political demonstration in
that city when Hon. W. J. Bryan
arrived there last week was proba
bly the greatest ever known on any
similar occasion.
It is reported that England and
Germany have entered into an
agreement concerning the Chinese
situation, and that this agreement is
equivalent to a defensive and _ and
offensive alliance for all internation
al purposes.
Baroness "VonKetteler, widow of
the German government minister
murdered by Chinese soldiers at Pe
king, is now visiting her parents and
other relatives at Detroit, Michigan.
She is the daughter of a. wealthy
citizen of that city.
The New York World says up to
October 14th Roosevelt had deliver
ed 300 speeches in 19 states, and
Bryan 285 speeches in 14 states.
The average number of words in a
speech: Roosevelt 2,000; Bryan 3,-
•500. Total words spoken; Roose
velt 600,000; Bryan 997,000. It is
further said that 500,000 people
heard Roosevelt, and 550,000 heard
Bryan.
Within the last several weeks the
price of cotton has been jumping
about as if somebody had string
tied to it. Certainly farmers haven’t
been pulling the string. The price
has jumped contrary to the interests
of the producers.
When the market for new cotton
opened, the price was less than nine
cents. Gradully the price went up
to eleven cents. Then a decline com
menced, and the price now is about
the same at which the season open
ed. Calculations based upon the laws
of supply and demand caused the in
crease in the fore part of the season,
but what caused the decline, the
speculators only can telL
It is not our purpose here to ven
ture any opinion concerning the
price of cotton next week, next
month, nor at any time hereafter,
bat to insist that cotton growers so
regnlate their crops for next year
that the price of cotton, if low, will
have the least possible effect upon
them.
Last fall the area in wheat was
largely increased in Georgia, and
the oat crop was not decreased. To
day farmers throughout the state
say they are in better fix financially
than they could have been'without
good crops of. wheat and oats. On
account of that large increase in the
production of wheat, more than
dozen mills have been put into op
eration in the state, and the farmers
and others have been eating pure
Hour.
It is true the price of cotton this
year has given the farmers a fair
profit, but wherever there was a ne
cessity to buy flour, oats, corn and
meat that profit was more than dis
sipated. - Cotton will never afford
enough’ profit to pay for the other
products needed on the farm that
can be there produced. In this con
nection we quote a short item from
the Macon Telegraph:
If it is a good thing to plant
wheat when cotton is low in order
to help advahde the price of the sta
pie, it is a better thing to plant
wheat when the price is high in or
der to keep it from falling.”'
y A great many Georgia farmers
know the disappointment of trying
to supply all the needs of the farm
with the money derived from a cot
ton crop, be the crop ever so large
or the price ever so high. "We do
not believe they will again make the
effort. Prosperity is not on that
road, and all who have traveled that
waj know it.
Georgia farmers will plant liberal
ly in wheat, oats and rye this fall,
next spring make the corn crop suf
ficiently large, with a liberal area
devoted to cane, potatoes, peas and
hay.
Prosperity is on that road, and
our progressive farmers will travel
that way.

The Georgia state fair will open
at Yaldosta next Monday, Novem
ber 29 th, and continue through the
week. The management says “the
entries already in are sufficient to
make the most magnificent agricul
tural exhibit seen at any state fair in
years, and entries yet to come will
doubtless make it the best ever seen
in Georgia.” Nine counties will con
tend for the $1,000 premium offered
for tiie best county exhibit. This
will be the first state fair ever held
soutli of Macon, and the people are
determined that it shall take rank
with the best. Especially will south
Georgia be comprehensively illus
trated. The railroads give half fare
rates.
The railroad authorities directly
interested in the passenger depot at
Atlanta have agreed to the plans
submitted by the state commission
appointed for that purpose. The
substance of the agreement is that
the state will build the depot, and
the railroads using it will pay inter
est on the cost at 6 per cent per an
num. The acceptance of the agree
ment by the legislature is all that is
needed before the work begins.
Gov. Candler will be inaugurated
for the second term next Saturday.

It is stale, but will say Rev. Sam
Edwards of Elko- occupied the pnl-
pit on the first Sunday at this place
instead of our pastor. Bro. Edwards
expounded the gospel in a most ex
plicit and practical manner, and in
the language of our popular Sabbath
sohool teacher, the words never went
over our heads, but we’ heard it all
It hurt, but we were obliged to take
it, for he said he meant it for “von.”
The truths hurts. Bro. Edwards’
subject was: “I thought on my way
and turned back,” etc. In other
words, think about yourself and let
others alone. Get the mote ont of
your own eye. *
The cotton crop is about gather
ed, except the doctor’s crop, which
is short.
Dr. H. M. Frederick and wife were
in our town Saturday on their re
turn from Wells ton to Hawkinsville,
from a visit to Dr. Frederick’s fath
er, who was quite sick.
I spent •several days ont in the
country last wsek, and took in some
fresh air and country food—feel tol
erable good to-day. Was out at the
home of Mrs. Mary D. Gilbert, near
Henderson. While inspecting Mi’s.
Gilbert’s place I noticed it was in a
high state of cultivation, under the
management of her son, Willie, who
is an up-to-date young farmer, us
ing all the latest farm implements
adapted to our section. Will is now
turning his land over with a 3-mule
plow called the disk plow. He says
he will devote his farming interest
to home supplies for another year
Ten cents cotton will not turn him a
luny. In conversation with Mr.
Frank Bragg of the lower part of
the district, he informed me that
their cotton will be extremely short,
on account of the excessive dry
weather. Mr. Bragg is another en
terprising farmer who says he will
plant largely another year in grain
and raise all the cotton he can after
looking for home consumption.

‘Or course,” said one of the na
tional democratic leaders a few days
since, “party managers, when speak
ing for quotation, claim every state
which they think they have the
smallest chance of carrying. This
is pretty generally understood, and,
after all, is only a part of the game.
Speaking anonymously, however,
can give you my real ideas as to the
election. I think Bryan will win. In
my opinion, be wilFcarry everything
he did in 1899 except Washington,
Idaho and Wyoming, and may carry
the last two. Bat without these he
will have 164 votes for a starter.
Then he will also certainly carry
Indiana, Delaware, Maryland and
West Virginia, which will bring him
np to 196. Then the chances are
that he’ll get New York, which will
make him 232 votes and elect him,
with eight votes to spare. With
New York he might lose Maryland,
Nebraska, Delaware or West Yir
ginia and yet win. This estimate
concedes Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois
and New Jersey to the republicans,
although they are all good fighting
ground. My own opinion is that
New Jersey will certainly go demo
cratic, and l Kentucky' republican,
while I won’t venture a prophecy on
Illinois and Ohio. These tire the
indications as I see them, but yon
must always remember that while
straws indicate the way the wind is
blowing, they can take no account
of such deep-seated movements as
landslides, and it wouldn’t be at all
surprising if one of these last should
be breeding right now.’ 1 —Our Wash
ington Correspondence.
The next congress will be made
np as follows, says the estimate
made by the New York World from
reports sent to that paper from all
the congressional districts: Repub-
publicans 172, democrats 167, silver
republicans 2, fusion 6, doubtful 10.
The silver ^republicans and fusionists
will act with the democrats, leaving
the majority to be made np from the
10 classed as doubtful.
