DEVOTED TO HOME 8WTERESYS, PROGRESS AND CULTWWE. ^1.50 a Tear in Advance, lot. XXX. PERRY, HOUSTON COUNTY, GA., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19. NO. *• Written For The Home Journal. If you ancl I Could keep our lives as pure and sweet and clean As drifted I . snow or lilies’ blooms between Tlie changing seasons: might the years slip by, And leave behind No bitter brooding and no vain regret. God give us strength! that our lives may he set As good example unto all mankind, That when at last Th’ allotted time on earth is over, we Mav launch our craft upon the unknown sea, Fearless, and unregrettul of the Past. Lizzie May Hemingway. Perry, Ga., Dec. 9th, 1901. The Plain Situation. Cotton Mills of Georgia. The Lucky Newcomer; New York Avorld. In the agitated discussion of the “interesting event” in one of the very rich familos of New York all the emphasis is being put up on the miraculous good luck of the young adventurer. But even neglecting the predominant fact that wealth cannot shelter any human being from the grave haz ards of *fate, isn’t there another side to the picture? Is he not apparently foredooim ed to a life of obscurity in the deep shadow of the fame of the mil lions to which he is heir? May not these millions tyrannically rule him all the days of the years of his life, forbidding his mind to expand to any of the higher endeavors of humanity, constrain ing it to the sordid cares of “in vestments?” Is it riot very prob able that his only distractions Avill be that dreary round of phy sical amusements which custom has cut out for the rich,and which swiftly produce 'yawning satiety even in the dull? And will he ever feel the greatest of all satisfac tions—the consciousness that one’s own personal merit has won him the triumphs of life, its distinctions, its friendships, its loves? Then think of the temp tations to the destruction of health and character and reputa tion which his wealth will not merely offer him, but press upon him. The newcomer’s outlook would indeed be rosy all around if to be well housed and well fed and well clad were all of living. But is it? “Some time ago my daughter caught a severe cold. She complain ed of pains in her chest and had a bad cough. I gave her Chamber lain's Cough Remedy according to directions and in two days she was well and able to go to school. I have used this remedy in. my family for the past seven years and have never known it to fail,” says James Pren- dergast, merchant, Annato Bay, Ja maica, West India Islands. The pains in the chest indicated an ap proaching attack of pneumonia, which in this instance was undoubt edly warded off by Chamberlain s Cough Remedy. It counteracts any tendency of a cold toward pneumo nia. Sold by all dealers in Perry, Warren & Lowe, Byron Senator Hanna is getting credit for having prevented a revolt of Rebublican senators against the St. Louis Republic. President Roosevelt’s message, following the significant caucus developments attendant upon the assembling of a Congress in which the Republican party ha9 a large majority, further confirms the be lief that no genuinely remedial action toward the regulating of the trusts and the revision of the tariff may be expected in the near future. The soundest American senti ment is at the present time strongly in favor of trust regula tion and tariff revision. There is uo desire to inflct injustice on any business interest in restrict ing the trust evil, but there is a firm conviction that the monopo ly feature incidental to the trust system should be eliminated. There is no desire to impose hardship upon any American “in fant industry” in revising the present high tariff, but there is an equally firm conviction that pro tection which subjects American consumers to monopoly prices for American-made goods that are sold cheaper in foreign markets is the wrong sorb of protection. The gigantic trusts now insisting upon the maintenance of the high tariff are anything but “infant indus tries.” They are the masters of the world’s trade, and the time when they needed protection from foreign competition has long since gone by. Nevertheless, the Republican party is more solicitous for the continued enrichment of these monopoly corporations than for the just protection of the Ameri can people from the costly effects of monopoly. The truth is now made plain that the Fifty-seventh Congress will take no action con trary to the will of the all-power ful and domineering trusts. The movement looking toward the en forced publicity of trust affairs will go no further than is agreea ble to the trusts themselves. The proposed policy of reciprocity will not be allowed to bring about a reduction of the tariff calculated to destroy the monopoly enjoyed by any of the great trust organ! zations. Whoever looks for gen uine service to the American peo pie from the present Congress in matters affecting the tariff or the trust has neglected to follow to a logical conclusion the Washing ton happenings of the past few days. The situation must of necessity remain unchanged until the Amer ican people have an opportunity at the polls to themselves insure the necessary change. The party of the trusts and of the monopoly breeding tariff must be removed from power if the people are to be relieved of the trust and tariff burden. The Congressional elec tions of 1902 should prove that the people are waking to a real! zation of this truth. The Presi dential elections of 1904 should complete the remedial work Washington, December 11—-The census bulletin on the manufac turing industries of Georgia just j issued shows that in 1900 the j gross value of manufacturing' products was $106,654,527, and > net value $78,154,611.

The manufacture of cotton goods is the most important in dustry in the state, employing 22 per cent of all wage earners and having a product whose aggregate value in 1900 was $18,644,910, or over 17 per cent of the total value of the state’s products. The six ty-eight establishments reported employed 18,348 wage earners. The capital invested and value of products for four cities sepa rately reported follow: Atlanta, $16,085,114, and $16,- 721,899.
