The state fair at Savannah open on the 6 th of November. will The south will be in good shape to appreciate next thanksgiving day. Buyers think the price of cotton this season will range about 7^ and 8 cents per pound. - Wheat growing has come to stay in Georgia, and more roller process mills should be erected. W. H. Hunt of Montana has been appointed governor of Porto Rico,to succeed Gov. Allen, resigned. The Pulaski county grand jury, at the August term of Superior court, recommended the establishment of a dispensary for that county. K d Elaborate preparations are being made for the Confederate vete.ans’ reunion and the Elks fair ut Macon fronr October 22nd to 24th. / A marble statue has been placed on the Confederate monument at Albany, and in the near future will be un-veiled with appropriate cere monies. 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 be completed into Hawkinsville this week, and a regular passenger sched ule put into operation at once. In the Superior court of Wetump- ka„ Ala., two white men charged with participation in the lynching of ti negro were convicted and sentenc ed to the penitentiary for ten years each. Soon the cotton seed oil business throughout the south will be a com plete monopoly. Independent mills are being, consecutively purchased by the Virginia-Caroliha Chemical Company, Last March, by popular vote, Sen orita Silvia Alfonso y Aldama was elected "Queen of Beauty” of Cuba, she receiving 16,320 votes. This beautiful young lady is now in New York city. 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.

"Something New Under the Sun.” 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. v m ^ V A letter containing a bill for ad vertising was mailed at Perry July 18, 1901, directed to the Imperial Type Foundry, 23 Duane street, N.
