Just now political silence through out the country would prove to be golden in intrinsic value. The interstate fair at Atlanta is in successful progress, and will contin ue through the 26 th inst. Republicans will demand that Pres ident Roosevelt serve the republican party in preference to the country. It is rumored that Gov.-General Wood of Cuba will in due season become secretary of war in Presi dent Roosevelt’s cabinet. At.t, Ihe people of this great coun try should know that there is no lim- .t to the liberty to do well, and that ?here is no particle of license to do fll. The representatives of the navy department in the Schley court of inquiry seem to be prosecuting offi cers embued with a determination to convict. The Jones county fair last week was a complete success, and compe tent judges say no better agricultu ral exhibits were ever shown in Georgia. If Roosevelt keeps one eye on the political possibilities of 1904 he will not be able to see his duty as a pres ident of all the people of this great country. v It is said that the government of Cuba will be turned over to Cuban officials in May next, or as soon as the constitution is perfected and the elections are held. • •• The Atlanta Daily News no long er exists, the controlling interest in that paper having been sold, to the men who own a majority interest in the Atlanta Evening Journal. * — It appears that the discovery of petroleum is various sections of the country is pouring oil upon the trou bled waters of the financial sea of men of indifferent business merit.

Any effort to inject section alism into the affair is unworthy of anyone who makes the attempt. It is the purpose of the promoters of this, and all other county fairs, to illustrate fully all the advantages, all the natural, cultivated and manufac tured products. Of course there must be rivalry, but in it there must be nothing sectional or selfish. The farmers should show tbeir best, and thus others who have not done so well can learn how to do better next year. Let this idea prevail in every department, and a comprehensive and beneflical fair will surely result. The people of the towns must cor dially co-operate, as they must know that upon the farmers largely depend their success in business.
