Last week 420 new pupils for the Bibb county publis schools were reg istered, making the estimated at tendance about 7,500. Extensive preparations are being made for the Georgia vetrans’ re union and the Elks’ street carnival at Macon from October 21st to 27th. President Roosevelt will do well to remember constantly that the po litical possibilities of 1904 are not within the catalogue of his official duties. May our new president earn by merit the plaudits so lavishly ac corded his immediate predecessor, but God forbid their coming in like manner. Constitutional conventions are expensive affairs. The convention just concluded in Alabama will cost that state, including the elections in the counties, an aggregate of $152,- 000. The moral support of all thinking people, regardless of party affilia tions, will be freely accorded Presi dent Roosevelt in his purpose to give the country a clean and correct administration. In nearly all the cities and towns throughout the country appropriate religious services were held last Thursday, during the hour that President McKinley was being bui- ied ai Canton, Ohio. Jones county farmers will have a a county fair three days next week, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th of October. Previous success on this line has made the Jones county fair Associa tion a permanent institution. There will be many fairs in Geor- gio during October, and it is only fair to say there will be fair weath er, even if the weather is not fair. Railroads will all afford reduced fares to the fairs and return. The Boers under Gen. Botha have increased their offensive activity in South. Africa.

Water bound, with no water; that’s the trouble at Dennard. The rain Tuesday night of last week washed out about about 150 feet of the mill dam—the largest break within the memory of the old est inhabitant. It will take several days to repair the break, and until this is done there can be crossing here only in batteaus. The damage direct and consequential will be any where from $1000 to $1500, besides the great, inconvenience to the cus tomers of the gin and mill. Sad to say, but this will be a poor fishing point for the next two or three years. Cotton was blown out considera bly, but not near as bad was at first thought to be. The majority of mankind never pray until the devil comes. Since the assassination of the president we are taking on much about an archist and nihilist. Though not too late now, it is a matter that should have been attended to long since. We have been the dumping ground for ( the scum and worst element of other nations long enough, and the time has come when we must shut our gates, or put a strong guard at them, and allow only folks to. enter. At this juncture, tha following ex pression of opinion and fact from our Washington correspondent will be decidedly interesting to our read ers: “Much has been published of late anent the policy to be followed by the new president—much that does not altogether agree- with what is said in private by men familiar with his ideas on national and interna tional subjects. His spontaneous declaration that President McKin ley’s policy would be followed and his earnest request to the cabinet to retain their portfolios, exactly as if they had been selected by him in the. first place, are, of course, strong arguments that his administration will, in its main points, closely re semble that of Mr. McKinley. But, it is said by his friends, both of these things were done under stress of strong feeling that cannot contin ue indefinitely. Mr. Roosevelt is a most earnest man, and his line of thought, whatever it may be, always seems to him, for the moment, as the only possible one. His zeal for it is only equaled by the extraordinary vigor with which he may suddenly take^ up a diametrically opposite course of action. No doubt, at pres ent, he is determined to carry out President McKinley’s ideas, but as time goes on, the difference of tem perament between the two men will, it is believed, bring about radical differences. At least, so say those who know him best. “It may be accepted as settled that he will remain true to reciproc ity, though it is improbable that he will be more successful than McKin ley in bringing this about. In fact, his methods in urging it are likely to be such as to provoke opposition, thus weakening the faint impulses in the republican party in favor of the system. This, it is said, is well for the democrats, as every reciproc ity treaty that is ratified lessens by so much the demand for tariff re form. His attitude towards trusts has not been declared, but, judging from the fact that he seems already to have made an—agreement with Senator Hanna for his support, it is improbable that he will take any radical action to muzzle these. “Mr. Roosevelt, it seems, is a south erner on his mother’s side. That lady was Miss Martha Bullock, daughter of Major James Bullock of Georgia, and great-grand-daughter of Archi bald Bullock, first governor of Geor gia and member of the continental congress. The president has many southern relatives, including several first cousins, who are citizens of Georgia and contiguous states. Thus he may be expected to take a very conservative view of the negro ques tion and to discountenance any at tempt to revive the Crumpacker bill for the reduction of representation of southern states that restrict negro suffrage by various devices. How ever, the difficulty of doing this without similarly reducing Various good republican states has practical ly already relegated the proposal to the limbo of discredited bills.” points in Georgia from Oct. 9 th to 26th, inclusive; final limit Oct. 29th.
