HODGES, Editor and Publisher Perry, Thursday, December 12. Th e Georgia Legislature will ad journ next Friday night. +-.»-* Our exchange list has keen in creased by the daily visits of the Congressional Record. — « * A wreck on the Central at Macon killed two and injured about sixty passengers last Sundey morning. — ►-•-4 The republicans in congress have added to their power by increasing their representation on the controll ing committees. » «4 - • Within the next several weeks there will be an election for presi dent of Cuba, and soon thereafter a new republic will be established. The bill providing for a new state railroad passenger depot at Atlanta passed the House of Representatives last Thursday by a vote of 107 to *65. The proposition to establish an agricultural experiment station and a college of Agriculture and Me chanic Arts in southwest Georgia is being earnestly advocated. ■ In his message President Roose velt waB probably most strenuous in his recommendation concerning an archists, and it is almost certain that congress will enact a law on the sub ject that will be satisfactory to all law-abiding people. — President Roosevelt’s message to to congress last week was the long est similar document ever read be fore a body of national law-makers on the American continent. It was an excellent literary essay on the theory of political policy. In vetoing the Wright dispensary bill Gov. Oandler pleased alike the extreme prohibitionists and the ex treme ftnti-prohibitionists. What is it that will occur when extremes meet? It appears that a cirole has been formed, but it is not clear who are inside. Ik-4 President Roosevelt dc©i not be lieve in any sort of reciprocity that does not give the protected manu facturers of this country the best of the bargain. In his message he says, in effeot, that the protective features of our tariff rates should not be disturbed. *- « Hon. Pope Brown reaffirms hiB candidacy for the governorship akd says he will begin an active campaign within a short time after the holidays. The remurs that he would retire from the race were, he declares, without his knowledge and inspired by those who wanted to get him out of the way of some other candidate. It seemB that the Georgia legisla tors are not thorough in their con sideration of measures presented, else there 'would not be be so much re-consideration. It is said that more than half of the measures of general import acted upon are re considered, no , matter whether the notion was favorable or adverse. Ex-President Cleveland recently declared to a representative of the New York PoBt that he had retired to private life, and “will never again seek office at the hands of my fellow citizens.” Notwithstanding the fact that he has made many political an tagonisms, and that he was at one time practically forsaken by the par ty that elected him to the highest office within the gift of the people, he will go down in history as one of the ablest and most forceful states men this country has produced. During the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1901, the total expenses of the postoffice department of the government amounted to $115,554,- 820.39. The total receipts ..from all sources were $111,631,193.28. While thie expenditures for development and extension of the service were $7,814,626.88 greater than for the preceding year, the deficit was $1,- 461,961.22 less, showing that gov ernment business of carrying and delivering the mails ,is steadily ap- .' proaching a self-supporting basis. _ - J 5 *"* ' South Georgia Conference Appoint ments.

The government estimate of the cotton crop of this year places the number of bales at 9,674,000, and the price advanced nearly £ cent per pound within three hours after the report was issued, Tuesday of last week. Beyond the decrease in the number of bales, it is said the aver age weight of the bales is the lowest in ten years—nearly 12 pounds per bale below the average of last year. It is generally agreed that better prices will prevail, but it is a regret- able fact that the cotton is nearly all out of the producers’ hands, and the benefit of the rise will go to the speculators, or the manufacturers, and not the farmers. Hon. G. R. Glenn, state school commissioner of Georgia, is being sued for libel m the city court of Atlanta. The suit is for $25,000, and the plaintiff is School Commis sioner J. N. Rogers of Washington county. The suit grew out of differ ences concerning a school institute in Washington county, and the pay ment Of the experts. Some corres pondence followed, and the charge is that Glenn defamed the character of Rogers in a letter written to the board of education of Washington county.
