The Georgia legislature met in annual session at 12 m. Wednesday, this week. Sure enough, in the political White House. there’s a "nigger” wood-pile at the The farm labor prospect is dis couraging, but “where there’s a will there’s a way.” Farmers say a killing frost is nec essary to harmonize the price of cot ton with the yield. An effort will be make during this session of the Georgia legislature to enact a law taxing inheritances. Miners in France are dissatisfied. They threaten to engage in a strike, and it is feared a bloody struggle will ensue. The Elks’ el fresco fair at Macon this week may, or may not, mean the free use of much decoration and many "horns.” Ohio republicans, and others of like stripe, are delighted with the recent evidence of Roosevelt’s social equality predeliction. The attitude of the present legis lature toward liquor legislation will exercise much influence in the next gubernatorial campaign. Recent utterances of President Roosevelt,, and bis appointment of an Alabama democrat to a federal judgship had led southern people generally, and the democrats partic ularly, to hope that our new chief executive would deal justly with the better element of the south. Our people were beginning to believe that he was more of a man and statesman than a partisan politician. One act has changed this good opinion to contempt, and the hope is displaced by disgust. When President Roosevelt enter tained Booker T. Washington, the Alabama negro teacher and politi cian, as a social guest at the White House dinner table, he outraged a most sacred southern sentiment and counteracted all that had been done in thirty years to settle the race problem in the south. By this one act his protestations of friendliness toward the south have been proven rankest hypocracy, and hereafter his declarations against sectionalism and stalwart party partisanship in ap pointments will be regarded as un true, unless proven true. It is now declared on authority that the appointment of ex-Govern- or Jones to a federal judgship in Alabama was due to the influence of Booker Waahington and other ne gro politicians. It was known that Judge Jones opposed the suffrage restriction clause in the recent con stitutional convention of Alabama, and it is believed the appointment was made in order that the political interests of the negroes of that state might be judicially served. It is further known that Judge Jones was not an active democrat in the last two presidential campaigns, and it is declared that President Roosevelt had reason to believe the appoint ment would make a repubican as well as a judge. Perhaps it is well that Rodsevelt has so soon removed his politica mask and disclosed the falsity of his professions of friendship for the south. “City Crop” Cut Off. The farmer’s roundlap bale doesn’t have to be sampled every time it is sold. One of the foremost cotton au thorities in this country estimates that square bales lose an average of five pounds of lint per bale, thanks to sampling, theft and other losses in cotton yards, at compresses and on railroad and warehouse platforms. This means a yearly loss of 100,000 five hundred pound bales,worth, at 7 cents a pound, $3,500,000, every Mr. JN0.

The Pan- American conference helc its first meeting in Mexico City last Tuesday afternoon. At night the del gates were entertained at the presi dential palace. The Atlanta papers may now de cide, the legislature being in session that it is in order to give the people another deluge of “old depot” argu raent and rhetoric. Capt. W. G. Raoul is now presi dent of the Southwestern railroad, elected by the directors to fill the unexpired term of the late B. A. Denmark of Savannah. An increase of the acreage devoted to grain crops and a relative de crease of the cotton acreage would lessen the demand for the farm la borers that are now so unreliable. Despite the oft repeated talk of a deficit of the state treasury of Geor gia, the balance in the treasury on October 1st, 1901, was $730,722.10, as against $416,146.30 on October 1st, 1900. President Roosevelt outraged southern sentiment and encouraged negro pregumption when he sat at dinner in the White House last week with a negro—Booker Washington —as an invited guest. One of the most important meas ures to be considered at this session of the Georgia legislature is the bill providing for a constitutional con vention. Such a convention will be very expensive and we know not what it would bring forth. *-o—» The Georgia state fair at Savan nah will open on the 6 th of Novem ber, full of attractions. Six or eight counties will compete for the $1,500 cash premium offered for the best exhibit of agricultural products (grown in one county. Cheap round- trip railroad fare. It is officially reported that dur ing the 10 months ending on April 30th last, the imports into Cuba de creased over nine per cent, while the exports increased over 41 per cent, in comparison with the same period of last year. The value of the ex ports during the period named was $49,987,117, and the imports $54,- 41§,262i For many years one of the chief complaints against the republican party has been that it is a needlessly expensive institution. However con servative and successful in private business, a republican becomes ex cessively extravagant as soon as he has to do with public funds. Re publicans propose to serve their par ty rather than the people. Our Washington correspondent says: "It is eminently characteristic of republican ideas that of all the mem bers of that party who have pointed out means? of disposing of the sur plus not one, so far as is known, has recommended a reduction of taxa tion that may prevent its piling up again. The motto of the republicans has always been to exact all the money the people can be brought to vote, with the confidence that means for spending it can easily be found. Thus, at the last session, with an ac crued surplus of some eighty mil lions and an anticipated surplus of the same amount for the next year, all that the party would concede was an alleged reduction of $40,000,000, which has turned out, so far, to amount to only $1,000,000 a month, or $12,000,000 a year. In the face of this, numbers of republican con gressmen who have been interview ed on the subject object to a reduc tion in taxation, and suggest that the gold accumulations can be got ten rid of by redeeming and can celling the greenbacks—a method which, of course, would merely sub stitute a permanent contraction of the currency of the country for a temporary locking up of it. “One evidence of the republican ideas on financial subjects is found in the strong movement to negative the proposition of the Commercial Cable Company to lay a cable to Manila without any cost whatever to the government, and substitute therefor an act providing for a cable aid either by the government or with a government subsidy. Either way the cost to Uncle Sam would je about $20,000,000 in cash, and would involve the beginning' of a policy of government ownership of public utilities. But then, think how nice it would be for the company that was aided.” surprise at Mr. Roosevelt’s action, Professor Washington not being the first negro, by any means, whom he has entertained. During his term as governor of New York he took young colored singer, who had been refused accommodation by all the Albany hotels, to his house and lodged him there throughout hie stay in the city. —Washington Cor respondence. * ►0-4 The agricultural and county ex hibits at the state fair at Savannah are becoming so numerous that it! will be necessary to encroach upon the space of machinery hall.
