LOISE Hemingway, perry, Ga. Party Policy and the President. Our Washington Correspondence. The fate of Federal office hold ers, especially in the South, is excit ing a good deal of interest in this city nowadays, one essential ques tion being whether President Roose velt will continue in South Carolina and other states the efforts begun by President LcKinley to build up a white Republican party and throw overbeard the old scandalous black and tan republican combination. Another question, even more im portant, concerns the future of Sen ator Hanna. It is well known that for the last year or two, practically every appointment in the South was made only with his approval, and that he had thus built up for him self a most powerful machine on which he relied to secure his nomi nation in 1904—this despite his as sertions ihat it was foolishness to talk of him for president. Now the question is whether these men, who owe allegiance to the Ohio man, will be reappointed when their terms ex pire. If they are, they will consider that Hanna saved them, will still maintain their fealty to him, and will support him when the national convention meets. If, on the con trary, Mr. Roosevelt puts in his own men, they will support him. An almost identically similar sit uation exists in regard to New York, where Senator Platt,'who has always been regarded as Roosevelt’s enemy, has dictated the disposition of the offices. Will he be allowed to re tain this control, and use it to an tagonize Roosevelt in 1904, or will the new president build up a ma chine of his own there? To those who undertand the great power ex ercised by the Federal office holders, the question is a most interesting one. Stricken With Paralysis. Henderson Grimetb, of this place, was stricken with partial paralysis and completely lost the use of one arm and side. After being treated by an eminent phy sician for quite a while without relief, my wife recommended Chamberlain’s Pain Balm, and af ter using two bottles of it he ia al most entirely cured.-—Geo. R.Mc- j Donald, Man, Logan county, W. 1 Va. Several other very .remarka ble cures of partial paralysis have been effected by the use of this liniment. It is most widely known, however, as a cure for rheumatism, sprains and bruises. Sold by all dealers in Perry, War ren & Lowe, Byron, Ga.

Jerome had an uncle of unusually methodical manner who was noted for always being supplied with necessary comforts on the jour neys he was compelled to make, says the Chicago Chronicle, and Mr. Je rome says this was the system he followed: Take a piece of paper and put down on it everything you can pos sibly require. Then go over it and see that it contains nothing you can possibly do without. Imagine yourself in bed. What have you got on? Very well, put it down, together with a change You get up. What do you do? Wash yourself. What do you wash your self with? Soap. Put down soap. Go on until you have finished. Then take your clothes. Begin at your feet. What do you wear on your feet? Boots, shoes, socks. Put them down. Work up till you get to your head. What do you want besides clothes? Put down everything. This is the plan the old gentle man always pursued. The list made, he would go over it carefully to see that he had forgotten nothing. Then he would go over it again and strike out everything it was possible to dispense with. Then he would lose the list. A burgler broke into the house of Charles Sainuel, in Syracuse, N.Y., the other night, and was so. careless as to upset and smash some crockery. Mr. Samuels was awakened by the noise. Seizing a small cologne bottle which he held as if it were a pistqlj Mr. Samuels bluffed his burgler into a corner and made him hold up his hands. Then he*went through the burgler’s pocket and. extract ed $10. Estimating the value of the broken crockery,- Mr. Sam uels took the worth of it out of the $10, handed the. burgler the change and kicked him out of the door. At least that is a newspa per story of the occurrence. There is much talk now about so amending the immigration laws as to exclude anarchists, and it is hoped that it will be done. The law should be strict on this point and the emigrant should be com pelled to assert his belief, not on ly in some form of government, but his belief in our form of gov ernment. And while he is swear ing, it would not hurt him to de^ clare that he accepts the Declarac tion of Independence as his polit ical creed.-—The Commoner. The excitement incident to traveling and change of food and water often brings on diarrhoea, and for this reason no one should leave home without a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. For sale oy all dealers in Perry; Warren & Lowe, Byron, Ga.

The harvest moon is the full moon which comes on or near the 21st of Septe mber. Its peculiarity is that it rises more closely after sunset for a number of evenings after the full than any other full moon in the year. This results in four or five successive nights being almost en tirely moonlit, and the opportunity thus given for evening work in har vesting has led to this full moon be ing distinguished by the name of harvest moon. The difference between the moon’s time of rising on successive nights averages about fifty minutes. The greatest difference, "occurs in the spring, when it may reach an hour and a half. The harvest moon may rise over half an hour late each night, while under the most favora ble conditions the difference is only about ten nrnutes. The full moon following September likewise rises but little later from night to night, and is called the hunter’s moon. The moon’s orbit makes the last angle with the horizon at the autumn equinox, and as it becomes, in ad vancing one day’s motion along its orbit, depressed below the horizon than at any other time, it has but a little greater hour angle to travel over each succeeding night after sunset to bring it into view. Hence the full moon for so many succes sive evenings in late Sep tern ber.-Ex. When the funeral dirge has died away,. when the sad heart sobs are hushed, when the emblems of exter nal grief have been laid aside for the more real things of daily life—say a year hence—we can better decide whether or not we really desire to erect in Georgia a rharble shaft to the memory of the late President; or whether it would be more appropri ate to contribute, if individuals so desire, to one which will be erected in time at the capital of the country. There is no occasion for haste or hysteria; nor will there be any im propriety in' any Georgian contrib* uting to a monument to.
