O —* On August 7 th and 8 th, the Geor gia Horticultural Society will hole its 25th annual meeting. Reports from several counties in dicate that there will be a consider able increase in Georgia tax returns this year. Georgia people will not choose their governor this year. Circum stances may change before nomina tion time comes. Blanton Winship of Macon, Ga., has been appointed second lieuten ant of artillery in the regular army of the United States. The Central of Georgia Kailway officials are evidently earnest in their professed desire to serve the best in terests of their patrons. Personal appetite and money are the chief arguments in favor of liq uor saloons, though their advocates use different phraseology. It is reported from London that Emperor William of Germany will ast for the Boers in an effort to se cure peace in South Africa. *-•-*—-— It is said the Macon Telegraph will not earnestly espouse the cause of Hon. DuPont Guerry as a candi date for governor of Georgia. From the Telegraph it is learned that a large cotton seed oil mill to be controlled by the Southern Cot ton Oil Co., will soOn be built at Macon. »■ > — The best pineapples produced Florida are grown under cover. For these pineapples it is claimed that they lack tough fibre, and are supe rior in flavor. At Kansas City, Me., a Theodore Koosevelt Club was organized, with the purpose in view' of promoting the nomination of Mr. Koosevelt for president by the Republican party in 1904.

This disease has become quite this section. Opinions Wlxen in Macon Call on the pioneer Clothier, Hatter and Furnisher, crease of monopoly during the ad ministration of President McKinley proves that the republican managers are in league with * the protected money power, if they are not in fact absolutely controlled by the great chiefs of organized monopoly. Democracy demands that this right of the people should become the might of the government, but evidently the republican leaders are playing politics on the line that the might of money constitutes right. That organized monopoly cares for nothing beyond the gratification of the greed for gain of its manag ers and controllers is illustrated by the example given below by our Washington correspondent: The future only can show wheth er the next congress will take action 1;o cripple the great trusts or monop olies, but the evidence against them is now growing so strong that it is thought the republicans will Dot dare to fail to do something. The steel trust is now offering to deliver Bessemer steel billets in 1,000 and 2,000 ton lots to English buyers at $25 per ton, the price charged to domestic consumers at its mills. This is $8 a ton less than the pre vailing price for British made bil- ets, although the steel trust must oay rail transportation at both ends, ocean freight and insurance charges, which amount to about half the price received on delivery to the British buyer. The trouble with the steel trust is that its capital stock amounts to $1,000)000,000 in addi tion to $304,000,000 of 5 per cent bonds, making a total of $1,404,- 000,000. The total valuation of all the stocks and bonds of the constit uent companies which were merged in Mr. Morgan’s consolidation was only $713,977,200, about h21f the amount on which the trust now pays dividends. This explains why the foreign buyer fares so much better than the home buyer. Mr. Morgan and Mr. Schwab have reversed the process of figuring the cost of man ufactured articles. They figure back ward from the amount they need to pay dividends, instead of forward from the items of cost that enter in to actual production.” ■—: —! - "9* common m tins section, differ as to the cause, while no one offers a remedy to stop or prevent it. Mr. W. A. Woodard, one of the most successful cotton growers of this sec tion, thinks the continued and exces sive use of guano the prime cause. “Nebo,” tne negro Primitive Bap tist church, was burned one night last week. The fire was thought to be incendiary. It seems that there has been some trouble in the church recently over the election of both pastor and deacons. Some of the sisters objected to old men aDd wanted young men elected as dea cons. Just why I have not heard, but I suppose they thought young deacons would be better able to hold them when they went off in a trance. Mrs. Toole of Macon is here on a visit to her mother, Mrs. J. W.

Campbell, Clinton, Ioiva. Sold by druggists. Cotton oil mills are anticipating! higher prices for cotton seed, re gardless of the size of the 1901 cot-1 ton crop. It Ought to Be True. Free trade between Porto Rico and the United States now prevails, President McKinley having issued a proclamation to that effect in re sponse to a legislative enactment by the. general assembly of Porto Rico A Baptist- association of Virginia recently failed to adopt a resolution withdrawing fellowship from church es having liquor dealers as members. Eight of the sixty-eight churches have liquor dealers in their member ship. Admirals Dewey, Benham and Kimberly, all retired from active service, constitute the court of in quiry appointed by Secretary Long to investigate the criticisms of Ad miral Schley. Three hundred negro men who had been carried from Alabama to take the place of strikers in the steel works at Melrose Park, near Chica go, were threatened with armed re sistance* On account of this deter mined objection they were returned to their homes. It seems that a col or line can be drawn elsewhere than in the south. Evidently the cotton oil business in, the south will be a monopoly, if the Virgima-Carolina Chemical Com pany continues buying the independ ent mills as was done in Georgia last week. However, it is said the South ern Cotton Oil Company is in the field and will contest the ability of the Virginia-Carolma Company to control the cotton oil business. The following item from the Tif ton Gazette fully illustrates the fact that rare local news can be secured at considerable distance from home: “Mr. C. G. Goff, Sr., formerly with the Tifton and Moultrie, but now su perintendent of the HawkiDsville and Florida Southern, was in Tifton on business Saturday. He reports his line as completed .to within a few miles of Perry, in Houston county, and work progressing finely on both extensions.” It seems to be the concensus of opinion that the railroad named above will be extended from Hawk- lnsville at least to Grovania, but whether or not it will come to Perry is an unanswered question. —Mr. Josiah Bass, one of Hous ton’s prominent citizens, writes] as follows: “After trying various I remedies, without obtaining any I benefit, I was cured sound and well j by Mucalee Chill Stop.
