All the talk about reorganizing the democratic party just now amounts to nothing, because it is by no means certain that there is any need of reorganization. Of course there will be a sort of reorganization when the next campaign is reached, but the democratic people will attend to that through their chosen represent- Perry, Thursday, November 22. [atives. - — .. —, - ■ . . ,: ; ' | There is one thing certain,-howev er, that whatever may be done on this line, men who were largely in strumental in causing the late de feat will not be accepted as leaders of the party. The Macon Telegraph seems to be unnecessarily solicitous concerning the future make-up of the party,and inquires: Speaking of reorganization of the democratic party, if such men as Cleve land, Carlisle, Morton, Fairchild, Whit ney, Dickinson and Hewitt are tc be kept out because they did not vote fbr Bryan, are Boutwell, Schurz, Web Da vis, Towns and Wellington to have hand in it because they did support him?” There is eminent democratic au thority for the declaration that the service of no man will be refused, who is willing to accept and advo cate the democratic creed as enun ciated in a legally constituted con vention of democratic delegates, The men first named in the quo ted paragraph will not be refused membership,- but "they must bring forth fruits meet for repentance” before they can be accepted as lead ers of democracy. Whatever they enjoy of political distinction is due directly to favors shown them by the democratic party. More than one of them, perhaps, have been - raised from financial and political obscurity to affluence. Yet at the first difference of opinion they have deserted to the enemy and seriously wounded the hand that warmed them into life. They have condemn ed republicanism continuously and with strong language, all the whjle lauding democracy. But the dollar became their god; they feared the democratic currency policy might lose them money. In all else save the money contention, they contin ued to condemn republicanism and to commend democracy. Yet be cause of this one difference, they helped bring about the defeat of democracy, and joined with Hanna and his cohorts in placing money above manhood. Certainly they will not be accepted as leaders of dem ocracy in the next campaign. As to the other gentlemen named, they assisted the democrats, though differing on some - policies, in the last campaign because they believed that the integrity of this country, as shaped by the constitution, would be'endangered by the continuance in power of the republican party. They do not seek leadership of the democratic party, but their assist ance is thankfully received,and their continued active association with the party will be cordially accepted. They have too much sense to ask for leadership in the republican par ty. The assistance of all honest men is acceptable, but the leaders of the party will be selected by the demo crats who fought and lost, and are determined to fight and win.

English officials are especially well-pleased with the re-election of McKinley."* It is not good policy to follow the leadership of ah enemy, no matter how talented he may be. Georgia legislators will do well to let well-enough alone in the matter of the qualification of voters. Hay Day carnival and street fair attractions now hold sway at Albany, and will continue through Friday. An interstate convention of the Cotton Growers’ Protective Associa tion assembled in Macon Tuesday. Peace negotiations are progress ing slowly in China, but the advices from Washington say the progress is fairly satisfactory. ,The republican majority in the next congress will be greater than now, and there will be a gain of two or three republican senators. The South Georgia Conference of the Methodist Epircopal Church, South, will meet at Cuthbert on Thursday, the 6th of December. Our state is to be congratulated upon the fact that the legislature has so far enacted comparatively few laws, and half the session gone. Congkzss will be importuned by Gen. Miles, Secretary Root and oth er republicans in high places,to con siderably increase the regular army. President McKinley has request ed his cabinet officials to remain in their positions during his next term. It is rumored, however, that several of them will resign. Let the south steadily increase her agricultural, industrial and com mercial strength, and the opportuni ty for manifesting greater political power will surely come. A state law should give Georgia counties greater power in regulating their own affairs, and relieve the leg islature of the excessive burden im posed by local legislation. In reapportioning the congression al districts of Georgia, it is estimated that the southern portion of the state will gain a district and a congress man from the northern counties. A bill to regulate tax returns ’through assessors has" been intro duced in the Georgia legislature. Certainly there is need for a system that will equalize tax values in the state. Census figures show that the in crease of population in the southern counties of Georgia has -been very much greater within the last ten years than is shown by the northern counties of the state. It is said President McKinley will oppose any effort to reduce the con gressional representation of the south on account of the suffrage restric tions in North and South Carolina, Louisiana and Mississippi. Georgia dogs will not be taxed, or killed according to law, if the Senate agrees with the House. In the House of Representatives a bill repealing the dog law enacted last year was passed last week. It.is apparent that the new legislators received instruc tions from their constituents who own dogs. The 1899 law has not been operated in any county. It is reported from Manila that Gen. McArthur will personally com mand vigorous military operations against tike Filipinos, and that spe cial efforts will be made to capture Aguinaldo. This campaign will de termine whether or not more troops will be sent to the Philippines.

On last Thursday afternoon at 4 o’clock Mr. Jeff M. Hunt of Heard and Miss Josie Andrews of Ro berta were united in marriage at the home of the bride’s uncle, Mr. J. S. Sanderfur, Rev. Isaiah Grant performing the ceremony in his usu al impressive style. The elegant parlor of the spacious residence was thrown open to hospi tality, and after the ceremony, con gratulations-were shbwered upon the happy pair by the large number of relatives and friends that had con gregated. ~ ' The bride was one of the fairest daughters of Roberta, possessing all the qualities necessary to make np a gentle, hospitable woman, and Mr. Hunt is fortunate in winning her as his helpmate. She numbers friends by the score, who regretted to see her leave her old Kome. The groom is the second son of Mr. J. B. Hunt, a sturdy, upright, thorough-going young man, of a gentlemanly, disposition. He - is successful young farmer, and will doubtless succeed in life. The presents were numerous, use ful and beautifnl; the decorations were very suitable for the occasion The bride and groom returned to the home of the groom’s father the next day, and will remain there un til Mr. Hunt can complete the neat little cottage already near comple tion, after which they will embark into the duties of life. We wish for the happy couple a long and pleasant life—just enough clonds to make the sunshine pleas ant. - Plow Boy. Heard, Nov, 17, 1906. Dennard Dots. BY THE JUDGE. That the Georgia legislature is a necessary evil needs no- better proof than the two bills now before it which purport to be in the interest of child labor in factories. In my opinion this is very dangerous leg islation, and if enacted would be very hurtful to the class it seeks to benefit Just as well try to legislate money into the widow’s pocket as to say how she shall make an honora ble support for herself and children. There are thousands of widows and orphans in Georgia making a sup port in factories, that but for this employment would be a charge up on the counties in which they live. These laws propose compulsory ed ucation, which applies to factory children only. I wonder if these wiseacres propose to feed the family while they attend school-. I was born poor and have held my own very well, but I am opposed to any legislation that would force me to steal when I could get work enough to support me. Mr. D. G. Hughes, Jr., of Dan ville, came over Monday on business. Mr. W. R. Snipes has gone with his family to take charge of a cotton mill at Juliette. Mrs. J. D.

The remaining $500 will be divided among the five nearest estimates. The receipts at Savannah from Sept. 1, 1899, to Jan. 1, 1900, were 665,092. At the proper time, democratic people wiU select the leaders and name the policies of the democratic party for the next campaign.
