PRICE, 81.50A YEAS, IN ADVANCE. Published Every Thursday Morning. Should Know Our Business. Silver as an Issue. m- Jno}®. HODGES, Editor and Publisher Perry, Thursday, July 25. Copies of. this paper may be found on file at the office of our Washington cor respondent, E. G. Signers, 918 F. Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. It is said Texas petroleum will be extensively used as fuel for steam producing purposes in that state and elsewhere. It now seems quite likely that the liquor traffic will be a prominent is sue in the next campaign for gov ernor of Georgia. H. G. Thurston, of Titus county, Texas, is said to be the tallest man in America. His height is 7 feet 8 inches, without shoes. We have been told that ten days ago Epworth League delegates on their way to San Francisco played snowball on Pike’s Peak.

It would be rather previous for any state convention now to attempt to dictate a platform for the nation al democratic party, to be used in 1904 About two weeks ago Mr. W.

S. department of agriculture, was j the issues in the next presidential campaign, it is certain that the de mand for free coinage of silver has been much decreased by the great increase in the production of gold On this subject our Washington correspondent says: "From present appearances seems to democrats in this city that free silver will bs practically drop ped from the next platform of the party. From every section come statements showing that the leaders generally seem to consider that the plentifulness of gold makes a further insistance on silver to maintain a suf ficient currency unnecessary. MosH significant is an interview given out by Mr. Towne, one of the most ar dent silver men in the country. Mr. Towne’s friends in Washington have known for some time that he favor ed going slow with the silver issue in the next campaign and not press ing it in the face of other "para mount issues.” When in Washing ton several days ago he expressed no dissatisfaction with the omission of the silver plank from the platform of the Ohio convention. He-said ‘Free silver as an issue is absolutely dead in the west. I do not believe it will be mentioned in the demo cratic platform or campaign of 1904. The feeling among democrats there is that they want to win, and they do not care what kind of a platform they have so long as it brings victo ry. There is a strong feeling in the west in favor of the nomination of Mr. Hill, or some other man from sent into southeast Georgia to vestigate a disease that was destroy ing cotton in that section: “wilt dis ease,” or “black heart.” In the report published in the At lanta Constitution we find the fol lowing: “Mr. Orton is a native of Ver mont, and when asked why it was that a Vermont instead of a south ern man was assigned to the inves tigation of cotton and its diseases, replied that the government would be more than glad to assign this work to a southern man who had grown up in the cotton belt and was familiar with the plant from a na tive’s standpoint, but there were no south efn men connected with the department of agricultural science; that the southern colleges do not teach agricultural science, and no southern men ever made applica tions for positions in that branch of the service. Mr. Orton said that po sitions are open for southern men who would apply for them.” The investigation of this disease of cotton is a most important affair, and that the expert knew his busi ness, could tell the cause and name a remedy, was equally valuable. The point that we wish to touch here, however, is the fact that it was necessary for a Vermont man to come to Georgia and give informa tion concerning cotton, the chief ag ricultural product of the state. This incident illustrates a fact that has long been known to think ing men, that our farmers and men the east. The democrats there are Aguinaldo is said to be very much irritated at the continued surveil lance of the U. S. authorities. He is required too add the word "prison er” to his signature. o—• The stiike of the steel workers is a struggle between union labor and united capital, a contest in which both must lose now, whatever the result may be hereafter. Thirty thousand delegates attend ed the international Epworth League convention at San Francisco last week. President McKinley sent cor dial congratulations by telegraph. -4- It is freely predicted now that the corn crop of the west and northwest will be exceedingly short, and that ; the retail price of corn will go up to $1.00 per bushei in Georgia next year. An oil company, capitalized at $100,000, at Huntsville, Ala., has applied for a charter. The company has options on 10,000 acres of land, and will sink twelve oil wells at once. in authority have so long ignored science in connection with agricul ture. There should not arise the necessity of sending out of the state for any information or service need ed in the state. It is certainly remarkable that southern men have not appreciated the need of scientific knowledge of the plants that provide us with the necessaries of life. The time is coming rapidly when old-time methods must stive place to improvements suggested by scien tific knowledge, and we must pre pare for that time by technical edu cation on all lines of industry. The growing unreliability of the negro labor system so long prevail ing will soon force a change, and that change must be based upon sci entific knowledge. Our section of the country is equal in its aggrega ted advantages to the best in the world, and in every department of service we must have men equal to the country, and the demands there of for expert knowledge. Georgia men should be equal to the demands of the state for expert services. tired of defeat, and the drift is to ward the adoption of a platform which will ignore the issues of the two last presidential campaigns While the supply of gold continues to increase as it has been increasing lately, there can be no serious or successful demand for free silver.’ - • - A shirt-waist wedding was sol emnized at Belvidere, N. J., one day last week. The contracting parties were John Mackay and Miss Grace Green, both of Hackensack, well-to- do, and prominent in society. If it be true that Bryan was op posed to Crisp for Speaker on sec tional grounds,* why was it that Springer voted for Crisp after con sultation with Bryan?

Plans have been accepted for the soldiers’ home to be built by the federal government at Johnson City, Tenn. This home will be open alike to disabled veterans of the federal and confederate service, and will be the finest soldiers’home in the world. It is said the total cost will be $i,- ‘000,000. Political speculation in Georgia was enlivened last week by Hon. F. G. duBignon’s declaration that he would not be a candidate for gov ernor of Georgia next year. Close upon this withdrawal, Hon. DuPont Guerry announced that he will be a candidate for governor. Already it was agreed that Hon. J. Pope Brown |and Attorney General Ter rell would announce for the govern orship in due season. Further talk brought forward several others as prospective candidates: Editor J. H. Estill of Savannah, Congressman W. G. Brantley and ex-Congressman H. G. Turner. Others may be brought forward. Editor Clark Howell will not be a candidate for governor. —Mr. Josiah Bass, one of Hous ton’s prominent citizens, writes as follows: “After trying various remedies, without obtaining any benefit, I was cured sound and well by Mucalee Chill Stop.

Lamar & Sons, Macon, Ga A WORTHY SUCCESSOR. At Cripple Creek, .Colorado, the Trans-Mississippi Commercial Con gress was in session several days last week, A prominent feature of the proceedings was the discussion and resolution concerning the arid lands, about a hundred million acres. "State and national legislation is urged to provide for dams and the collection of water in ponds to facilitate evap oration and thus increase the rain fall. An arid land fund of $100,- 000,000 was advocated to be raised by the sale of government bonds, the money to be expended in re claiming arid lands and to be re turned to the government from the sale of lands reclaimed.” One of the most remarkable proofs of the amazing growth of that vast region of our country commonly called the Northwest, with its nu merous sisterhood of States, and its population of more than seven mil lion people, is the fact that it is on ly a little mere than eighty years since the first white baby was bom there. The child was a girl, the daughter of a regular army officer, and she is still living. A fascinating account of her eventful life, the ear ly years of which were spent among soldiers and savages, will appear in an early issue of the Ladies’ Home Journal.
