Hoh. J. Pope Brown of Pulaski
county is a candidate for governor:
of Georgia, and his formal an
nouncement appears on the first
page of this paper.
His term of office as president of
the Georgia State Agricultural Soci
ety will expire next February, and
not until theil will he begin an ac
tive political campaign. Then he
will resign the office of state railroad
commissioner.
Mr. Brown was born in Houston
county on May 8th, 1855, and
though his parents moved into Pu
laski county the following year, their
plantation home was so near the
Houston county line that our people
never released their claim upon the
family, and always regarded them as
practically citizens of Houston.
Pope Brown has demonstrated
the-value of persistent energy and
wise direction in farming, and prov
ed that money can be made in that
business. Whatever of success he
has achieved is not due to any ex
ceptional "good luck,” nor to chance,
but has come as it will come to any
other equally sensible and energetic
man who will use his efforts wisely
and earnestly.
Above all things he has been a
farmer, though his ambition has led
him into politics. That ambition is
laudable, and its fruition will serve
Georgia as well as it will honor him,
his friends and his section.
The new railroad from Pitts will

At the labor day celebration at
Kansas City, Mo., last Monday,
Hon. W. J. Bryan was the selected
orator. He eloquently insisted that
the workmen of the country have a
right to share equitably in the pros
perity of the country, declaring that
the strike as now used is the only
defensive weapon thei workingmen
now have, but that it is weak and
inefficient. The pith of his advice
is in the following paragraph: "If
the laboring men were half as active
on election day as they are in the
enforcement of their strikes, they
would wield a force that would right
the evils that beset them.” We add,
if their election day activity be un
controlled by the money influence of
corporate power.
BY THE JUDGE.
Cotton picking is the order of the
day now and it is being picked at a
lively gait, and as every bale now is
the .first bale, it is ginned and sold
at once. About 40 cents per hun
dred is what is being paid for pick
ing. If farmers will be patient they
can get all their cotton picked at
that price. I hear, though, that they
are getting excited in some places
and think of paying more. This
seems to me selfish, but if not, it wil
not cause the crop to be gathered
any sooner, and confuses the Ipbor.
My experience is that extra pay
no incentive to the average negro
The majority of them will do as
much work for forty cents a day a3
they will for one dollar.
I see a county fair is being dis
cussed. By all means let us have
one, even if there are a few little
things besides farm products let in.
Farmers enjoy these little diversions,
and such things as five-footed chick
ens, two-headed cows and a jackass
without a bray are entertaining, and
tend to oil the rusty, rough spots in
life’s machinery.

During the fiscal year closed June
30th, 1901, the United States gov
ernment disposed of 15,662,796 acres
of public lands, the receipts therefor
amounting to $4,972,160. There still
remains 914,096,974 acres of govern
ment lands.
The Georgia state tax rate for
this yeur has been fixed at 5.44, an
increase of 24 mills. This increase
was made necessary by the liberality
of the legislature in making appro
priations, especially those to Con
federate veterans and widows, and
to the publig school fund.
Last Monday was “labor day” by
legal enactment. It |was also an
anniversary of the Home Journal
editor’s birthday, by divine appoint
ment. Though the birthday comes
once a year, and a labor day six
times a week, the one is as inevita
ble as the other, and should be used
with equal devotion to duty.

A Night Of Terror.
“Awful anxiety was felt for the

Discovery, which had more than
once saved her life, and cured her
of Codsnmption. After taking

A FiSHiNb party composed of ex-
President Cleveland' and several
friends was broken up by officers of
the law one day last week In Mas
sachusetts. Theyywere fishing on
Lake Garfield, and one of the party-
caught a bass less than 8 inches in
length. This;is in violation of law,
and the offending fisherman was
tried and fined $2.00.
The great contest between the
Amalgamated Association of iron
and steel workers and the steel trust
has very forcibly demonstrated the
fact that there should be some law
to prevent, or settle, such disagree
ments between capital and labor as
affect the great mass of the people
throughout the country. This strike
injuriously affects all people who use
any product pf iron or steel manu
factured by the companies whose
producing capacity has been curtail
ed by this strike., The results of
such a strike constitute an offense to
the government, as it is injurious to
all the people, practically.
