War Conditions.
?BI02, 51.50 A YEAS, IN ADVANCE.
Enfclisfcsd Every Thursday Morning.
Juo.H.HODGES, Editor and Publisher
Perry, Thursday, December 20.
Copies of this paper may be fonnd on
file at the office of oar Washington cor
respondent, E.-G. Siggers, 918 F. Street,
N. W., Washington, D. C.
Get ready to make a new record.
In closing the old year we close
an old century.
It would be commendable to pay
the editor this week.
Misused privileges will surely be
get sorrow and perhaps remorse.
It is not good form to observe
Christmas wih intemperate revelry.
In holiday festivities we should
not forget the Giver of time and life.
The Georuia legislature failed to
authorize the state to build a new
railroad depot in Atlanta.
Peace negotiations in China may
be well under way towards agree
ment when the new year begins.
An increase of the ^public school
fund, making the total $1,000,000,
was made by our state legislature.
From December 24th to 30th there
will be a holiday carnival and street
fair in Americas. Low rates over the
Central.
It is a regretable fact that while
the nineteenth century is very near
its close, war exists in four different
countries, in two of which the United
States government is directly inter
ested. It is hoped, howeVer, that
peace may be seeured in all early in
the twentieth century, in the early
months of 1901.
It is true that in China an effort
is being made to negotiate peace,
and all parties concerned seem to be
willing, yet - there are disagreements
among the powers that will cause
much delay. In behalf of China, the
Empress has agreed to accept the
following terms: “The early return
of Emperor Hwang Su to Pekin; in
demnity to the amount of 40,000,-
000 pounds; the right of each lega
tion to maintoin a guard of 2,000
troops and the appointment of a
foreign adviser to each province of
the empire.”
The powers demand that the lead
ers of the late. Boxer movement be
severely punished, and this the Chi
nese authorities desire to avoid. Ru
mors of another Chinese outbreak
are current.
In the Philippine Islands the
United States troops control all the
towns, and our commissioners are
arranging civil government, but the
Filipinos are occasionally active in
guerrilla warfare.
In South Africa the English have
control of the cities, the towns and
the government, but the Boers con
tinue fighting, and occasionally de
feat the British.
' In Columbia, South America, there
is a revolution, but its early suppres
sion is expected.
Politics that is not practical can
not be successful. Perhaps the
cause of democratic failure may be
discovered in this connection.
IT is to be devoutly hoped that
there will be less intemperate revelry
than has heretofore been usual
during the Christmas holidays.
The official count shows that Hon.
W. J. Bryan received at least 1000
more votes .than were ca3t for the
fusion state ticket of Nebraska.
It is rumored from Washington that
Gen. Uhaffee, now in China,may suc
ceed Gen. HcAuthor in command of
the U. S. forces in the Philippine
Islands.
Col. Gunby Jordan of Columbus
has been appointed state railroad
commissioner to succeed Capt. T. C.
Crenshaw, whose term expires next
October..
As money controlled the last pres
idential election, it seems that the
same influence is controlling about
eyerything else that is subject to
human controle.
Last Saturdaj night, or rather
early Sunday morning, the 1900 ses
sion of the Georgia legislture was
adjourned, the 50 days allowed by
law having expired.
la The Confedrate veteran’ home in
Atlanta, built by popular subscrip
tion, was accepted for the state by
the Georgia legislature, and money
appropriated to maintain it.
It now seems that the cotton acre
age in this state next year will be
considerably increased. We are
glad to note, however, that a major
ity of our farmers are well fortified
with hdme-made supplies.
To-day the U. S. Senate will vote
on the proposed treaty between the
Unitod States and England con
cerning the proposed Nicaraguan
canal. Amendments to the original
treaty have been adopted.
If Georgia agriculture becomes as
progressive and prosperous as it
should be,there must be a consider
able increase in the number of farms
actively operated by intelligent
white men. We are glad to note the
tendency in- that direction.
Comparatively few general laws
were enacted by the late Georgia
legislature.* The legislators are to
be congratulated for their good
sense, and the state upon its good
fortune. Fewer legislatures would
furnish further congratulations for
the state.
Atlanta business men are arrang
ing for an international textile expo
sition in 1902. A charter will be se
cured, and a fund of $100,000 raised.
No doubt of success is entertained,
and the fact is patent that such an
exposition will serve the south most
excellently.
Destitution prevails among the
lower class in China, and the com
manders of the foreign forces at
Pekin are furnishing rice to prevent
suffering. No exceptions are made
as to religious belief, but all are as
sisted who are in positive need.
Russian and American officers are
leading in this charity.
Mb. Cleveland is rather late giv
ing advice to the democratic party.
Tfin assistance two months ago might
have materially helped the party to
avoid defeat. It is a fact,during his
last term as president, Mr. Cleveland
was condemned by a majority of the
most prominent members of the par
ty that elected him. It is a fact, if
not so acknowledged, that, Cleveland
is.in close alignment with those re
publicans who think money iB the
greatest of all earthly things, and
that all else must be subordinated to
its influence and demands.
The Centennial at Washingtoh.
Last Wednesday, December 12th,
the centennial of founding the seat
of the United States government
was fittingly celebrated at the capi
tal. Governors of many of the states
participated, and the ceremonies
were 'imposing, while there were
several notable addresses illustrating
the growth of this government and
country along all lines of progress
during the century.
Concerning that celebration, our
Washington correspondent relates
the following incident:
“Among the decorations of the
chamber were a number of flags,
one of which was that of Creat
Britain. There was naturally some
comment upon this, arising from the
fact that the banner has never been
in or on the capitol since the day
when it floated proudly over the
building, after the same had been
fired by the British troops under Gen.
Ross. A centennial celebration of
the capital hardly would have been
complete without some striking al
lusion to that interesting fact, and
how could it be emphasized better
than by swinging the British ensign
from the House gallery for the first
time since 1814, when a British reg
iment held a mock.session of con
gress in what is now Statuary Hall,
but then was the meeting place- of
the House. The democrats made so
many sarcastic comments on this
that some republicans became panic
stricken and urged Speaker Hender
son to have the flag removed. It
proving too late to do this, a big
signal flag was draped over it, con
cealing it from view. However, the
Anglomaniacs won, after all, for the
British flag waved proudly on the
front facade of the" capitol all day
long.”
Grovania Gleanings.
Business innerests of the United
Sates are to be congratulated that
Congress is preparing to relieve thd
peple of the troublesome and obnox-
ive stamp tax on checks, notes,
mortgages and other commercial
papers. The bill to this effect hss
been favorably reported to the House
of Representatives, and there is no
doubt about its passage. The war
taxes have piled up a surplus in the
treasury, and that fact has already
begotten extravagant expenditures.
The saving to the people will be
considerable, but such a tax once
caused war, and ever since has been
especially obnoxioue to our people.

—Farmers say negroes are
reluctant to make contracts for
next year. There never, was a
greater demand for land to rent.

Our merchants are receiving their
Christmas tricks, and hope to have
a good trade during Christmas time.
Mr. J. G. Crawford, manager of
the Grovania ginnery, informs me
that the ginnery has shut down for
the season. Mr. Crawford says they
ginned 964 square bales of cotton
this season, against 804 last season;
also ginned 192 round hales, which
are equal to 96 square bales, making
a total of 1060 square bales.
Messrs. Robert B. Gilbert and
Dempsey Brown, who have been at
tending the Atlanta Physicians and
Surgeons College," are now at home
spending a short vacation. Their
many friends were glad to see these
genial young men.
Mr, Mike J. Daniel, veterinary
surgeon for the Central Ga. Land &
Lumber Co., is on a business trip in
our section.
Mr. Jack Hodge and Miss Maggie
Marr of Henderson were the guests
of Dr. E. C. Brown and his sister,
Miss Mary, Sunday.
Mr. W. S. Barnett, the up-to-date
contractor, who is building dwtlling
houses for Messrs. Joe Q. Ellis and
R. L. Baird, says they will be the
most commodious and modern
houses m our place.
Well, our town is on a boom. We
have up-to-date merchants, and do
business on the square, weigh on
the level and measure by the plumb,
Mr. Frank A. Riley of Grovania,
and Miss Julia Coker, eldest daugb
ter of Mr. and Mrs: F. O. Coker of
Milledgeville, were united in mar
riage at the home of the bride’s par
ents last Wednesday morning at 9:30
o’clock. The bride and groom reach
ed Grovania at 10 p. m., accompa
nied by relatives, and were cordially
met at the train by friends and rela
tives and escorted to the home of
the groom, where a family reception
was in store for them. The happy
pair are well known here. Mr. Riley
is a young man highly esteemed by
all who know him. The bride pos
sesses many accomplishments, and
taught the public school at Hayne
ville last season, giving general sat
isfaction.
A merry Christmas to you, Mr.
Editor.

The Irl R. Hicks’ 1901 Almanac.
Whatever may be said of the sci
entific causes upon which the Rev.
Irl R. Hicks bases his yearly fore
casts of storm and weather, it is a
remarkable fact that specific warn
ings of every great storm, flood, cold
wave and drouth, have been plainly
printed in his now famous Almanac
for many years. The latest startling
proof of this fact was the destruc
tion of Galveston, Texas, on the
very day named by Prof. Hicks in
his 1900 Almanac, as one of disaster
by storm along the gulf coasts. The
1901 Almanac, by far the finest,
most complete and beautiful yet
published, is now ready. This re
markable book of nearly two hun
dred pages, splendidly illustrated
with charts and half-tone engrav
ings, goes as a premium to every
subscriber who pays one dollar a
year for Prof. Hicks’ journal, “Word
and Works.” The Almanac alone is
sent prepaid for only 25c. Order

“I tried ihany remedies to cure
piles,” writes W. R. Smith, of
