8 PSICE, $1.60 A TEAR, IN'ADVANCE. Published Every Thursday Morning. Jno H. HODGES. Editor and Publisher Perry, Thursday, November 14. Republicanism is mainly an affair of the purse. Democracy represents the interests and the wishes of the people. The death of Li Hung Chang may be disastrous to the plans of Russia in Manchur a. The South Georgia Methodist Conference will convene at Macon on the 4 th of December next. The State .and a Railroad Depot. For the first time since the death of President McKinley, Senator Hanna was at the White House last Friday. There are heaps of rhetorical mer it and political diplomacy in Presi dent Roosevelt’s thanksgiving proc lamation. Defeat in politics has not detract ed from the genuine worth of Col W. J. Bryan as an able statesman and a true patriot. The Pan-American congress m session at Mexico City proposes to establish a plan whereby the Ameri can republics and their citizens may settle all disputes by arbitration. Seth Lowe, the mayor of New The election of fusion candidate, York is not so much a democratic defeat as a rebuke to Tammany Hall as a reputed corrupt political organ ization. Though in the elections last week there were more republican victories thon democratic, the positive gains are most favor^le to the democrats. In Maryland and Kentucky each there will be a democratic U. S. sen ator regained. Col. J. H. Estill entertained 200 Georgia editors at dinner last Fri day at Isle of Hope, his suburban home. The Home Journal editor regrets very much that he was una ble to attend in response to the invi tation extended. A state dispensary bill with local option provisions passed the Georgia house of representatives last Friday, by a vote of 95 to 45. Representa tives oi counties in which the larger cities are situated cast nearly half of the opposition vote. A negro rapist and murderer will soon be hung at Dublin. The victim was a negro woman. The case went to the Supreme court, and the decis ion was handed down last week, con firming the verdict and sentence of the Laurens Superior court. The proposition that the state of Georgie should pay for the construc tion of a new union passenger depot in Atlanta is again before the state legislature. The state owns the present depot, and the structure beyond dispute re fleets much discredit upon whoever is responsible for its continued exist ence. The railroad for which this depot was constructed belongs to the state, but it is leased to another railroad company for a specified number of years. Other railroads besides that belonging to the state use the old depot, and it is presumed there is a specific contract under which they use this property. The bill under which it is pro posed to build the new depot has been prepared by a special commit tee of the legislature and introduced in the House of Representatives. It is proposed that the new depot shall be a palatial structure, to cost $500,- 000, and that the funds shall be drawn from the state treasury. The construction is to be under the su pervision of a commission—similar to that having charge of the state capitol—with the governor of the state as chairman. While we have not read the full text of the bill, we presume it Care fully protects the interests of the state. The specific funds to be used in building the depot will be one- half of the rental of the Western & Atlantic Railroad. The legislators are sworn to act within constitutional limits, and to carefully serve the state’s interests. Therefore, it should appear that the construction of such a depot by the state would be a good business in vestment for the state; It should be shown as an assured fact that all the railroads now using the old depot will use the new structure on terms fair and profitable to the state. There should be a positive financial guarantee that the wishes and inter ests of the city of Atlanta will not be served to the disadvantage of the state, or in preference to the state’s interests; The city should protect the state against all suits for damage that might arise out of the changes of property "privileges, etc., that the new building might be the cause, of. Throughout the state the opinion grevails that there is a very big deal fojv Attar} ta in the proposed new de pot, and if such be the case, legisla tors should vote against the measure, Make it -a business affair solely, and right will prevail. Democratic statesmen in Wash ington City are not at all discour aged over the result of the. elections, The party has redeemed Kentucky and Maryland, gaining a senator in each. Nebraska and New Jersey were the only, two states where the result was in any doubt, and in nei ther was the defeat unexpected. In the latter the republican majority was materially reduced. The result in New York waft due as much to democrats as republicans, and was. a protest against Tammany, which through long continued power had grown out of all bounds, just as the republican machine had done in Philadelphia. Its overthrow means a revival of true democracy, which means liberty and not license. This revival is sure to be aided next year by the revulsion of feeling that is certain to follow the rule of Senator Platt under guise of non-partisan ship. All things considered, the democratic politicians here think that the future before them is bright.—Our Washington Corres pondent. —Full line of Wagons, at F. M. Houser’s.

It is the general opinion that Congressman Lewis is now stronger than ever be fore in the confidence and esteem of third district democrats. -T.h e union depot at Atlanta being i4he property of the state, the state ^should make it suitable for the uses - to which it is devoid, Provided, ‘ however, the railroads that ails using it have performed their duties in the premises* and that in building a new depot no bonus in any shape is giv en the city of Atlanta”. It is reported from Atlanta that the legislators are preparing to raise a large-sized racket in congressional politics. The report indicates that a number of legislators aspire to be. congressmen. Disproportion in the population of Several of the districts makes if necessary, according to leg islative opinion, for the several dis tricts to be re-apportioned. In pre paring to do this, it is suggested that the county in which Griggs re sides be placed in the third with Lewis; that Lester and Brantley of the first And eleventh, Adamson and Maddox of the fourth and eighth, and Livington and Howard of the fifth and seventh be treated in like manner. This would make positive place for at least four politicians who wish to be congressmen. -*-e- Hi Hung Chang, the famous Chi- -iieee statesman and diplomat,is dead. - He was probably the most influential 1 personage in China, other than the. 1 emperor and empress, It is said an ^angry dispute with the Russian min- concerning the Manchurian treaty aroused violent passion, caus ing a hemorrhage, which was direct ly followed by the death of the Chi-, nese plenipotentiary. ■H Education is an uplifter in every avenue of life. Especially does it increase the earning capacity of ev ery one who gets it and uses it cor rectly. The unedueated are con demned, by force of circumstance®, to be, practically, “hewers of wood and drawers of. water” throughout their lives. Education is the only ladder by which people can climb up to success in the higher avenues of business. State School Commissioner Glenn has been served with a warrant by the sheriff of Washington county, charging him with criminal libel.
