Several bales of new cotton have
been received at the warehouses in
Macon.
./
, An increase of $1,725,473 is shown
by the 1901 digest in the value of
the Fulton county tax returns.
Latest estimates say the Georgia
cotton crop this year will be about
250,000 bales less than the crop of
last year. ..
On account of the strike -of iron
and steel workers, the price of^cot-
ton ties, is already up, and expected
to go higher.

Richmond is the only Georgia
county containing a city that failed
to show an increase in the tax re
turns this year.

Recent reports from northwestern
states say the damage to the com

Georgia hay will be a commercial

War between Columbia and Ven

Capt. B. P. Hobson, of Santiago

Hon. D. M. Hughes was elected
president of the Grorgia State Ag

’as other counties in Georgia, that
1 enough laborers could not be secur-
■ ed to work the crops promptly and
thoroughly.
* The tax digests of Houston show"
that on March Ist, 1901, there were
339 more pegro men of voting age
in the county than were here on
that date in 1900.
Here is q seeming contradiction.
Did enough negroes leave*the conn-
county after March 1st, and before
cotton chopping time," to create
deficiency in the labor supply? Or
was it that there were really enough
here, but that they refused to work
regularly and faithfully?
No matter which is true, the land
owners and farmers must apply a
remedy.
If the negroes are combining
against the farmers, then the farm
ers must “fight the devil with fire.”
Another busy season is just ahead,
and there may be a repetition of the
scarcity of labor trouble. Will the
the crop owners or the cotton pick
ers control the situation?
If the negroes here will not do
the work as the situation demands,
there should be no surrender by the
farmers, but by a general under
standing they must become and con
tinue masters of the situation.
It wfil not do for shiftless and un
reliable negroes to dictate terms to
the farmers of Houston, or any oth
er county.

Byron at Perry.
The Byron baseball team came to
Perry last Monday afternoon, and
also came a host of friends not only
from Byron and, vicinity, but from
Fort Valley and surrounding coun

When the game was called, after
4 o’clock, the Byron and Perry
teams in contest, a majority of the
crowd attending was antagonistic to
team, and thev didn’t hesitate

given as to the best crops to grow |
and the best ways to grow them.

to give vigorous expression to their /
preference. The Perry “shouters”'^
were not timid, but they were dis
tinctly “outclassed.”
The Byron team went to the bat
first, and made one run, the Perry
boys folio wing with two.
In Byron’s half of the second inn-
inn, after one man was out, a bunch
of errors at third base permitted th
visitors to score five runs successive
ly, and one more in the same inning
later. In the third inning a wild
throw from short stop to 1st permit
ted two more runs for Byron. Perry
scored one in the third.
From this time on the game was
decidedly good, only one more run
being scored, and that was by By
ron in'the 7 th inning.
The final score .stood ten to three
in favor of the visitors.
The home team was fairly defeat
ed, though chiefly by their own er
rors. The members of the Byron;
team are good ball players, and in
size much larger than the Perry
boys.
We understand there will be an
other game between these teams
Friday, at Byron.
The game last Monday was re
markable in at least one feature—
not a man took his base on balls.
More than half the runs were made
inuffs,” or wild throws. „

All doctors have tried to cure Catarrh
by the use of powders, acid gases, inhal

dors dry up the mucous membranes,]

have entirely eaten away the same mem
branes that their makers have aimed to
cure, while the pastes and ointments can
not reach the disease. An old and. expe

of the treatment of Catarrh, has at last |
perfected a^treatment-which, when faith
