An unusual number of men were killed in Georgia during Christmas week. So far no opponent to Hon. E. B. Lewis for congress has been an nounced. Reports of the Cuban election in dicate the election of General Palma to the presidency. The appointment of Henry C. Payne to be postmaster general was a disappointment to many of the stalwart republicans. War between Argentina and Chili iu South America has been averted, but there is danger of war between Colombia and Venezuela, The English forces in South Afri ca met several reverses during tho last days of 1901. The Boers con tinue determined and active. - • -4 —- Many of the business men of Cu ba believe the material interests of the island would bo best served by annexation to the United States. —1£~* Missouri, a new U.

Miss Mai ion Cock rell, daughter of Senator Cockrell of Missouri, was sponsor. ... ■ Xf each man who received *a jug by express last week was a juggler, there were oxtensive sleight-of-hand performances throughout the Btate iu connection with the holiday fes tivities. Hon. Leslie M. Shaw, governor of Iowa, has been appointed secretary of the U. S. treasury to sucoeed Hon. Lyman J. Gage, resigned. The transfer will be made about the 16th of this month. Maolay, tho historian whose slan der of Admiral Schley .was the cause of» the Schley oourt of inquiry, has bseu peremptorily discharged from a olerkship in the Brooklyn navy yard by direction of President Roosevelt. -i< Roosevelt seems to be satisfied that it is a presidential perquisite to practice personal politics |when making government appointments. One good turn deserves a return fa vor,may operate nicely asja reminder iu. the next national campaign. Every prominent country in the world except Australia was repre sented in the Zionist congress that opened at Basle, Switzerland, last Thursday. The congress embraces 1,000 delegates; the purpose ^sought to be promoted is the acquisition and national control of Jerusalem by Jews. It is reported from Washington that all the disagreements between England and the United States, ter ritorial and otherwise, are likely to be satisfactorily arranged. Lord Pauncefote, the British ambassador, is quoted as being quite anxious to settle all the disputed questions be fore he returns to London. Reports say that the Pan-Ameri can congress at Mexico City utterly failed in its purpose of creating a closer commercial relationship be tween the American republics. It was also hoped that a. means would be adopted whereby territorial and other disagreements between gov ernments might be amicably settled. Nothing tangible was accomplished. There have been complaints against ofltee-liolders, from lb 0 lowest county official to the highest in the nation. People can be fooled in their esti mate of a man, but when an incom petent or bad'man has been elected once, that surely should be enough, and the fault will be with the peo ple if they repeat the transaction. This year will be thick with politics, county, state and federal. If the people will observe a correct meas ure of merit; the best men will be chosen. If ; personal -favoritism or other improper motives prevail to thd selection of unworthy men, the faffit will be mainly with , the people. Thirty-One Years. Since the Home Journal was es tablished thirty-one years have pass ed. In 1870 Mr. John T. Waterman established the paper in Perry, and for less than three years he was the editor and publisher. Then Mr. Ed win Martin was at the helm, and during the time that these gentle men controlled the patrons of the paper were well and ably served. Mr. Jno. H. Hodges succeeded Mr. Martin. Lacking three months and seven teen days, the Home Journal has been under the present management twenty-two years. Whatever of ser vice that has been performed, the people will have to render the ver dict. The editor only will say that according to his honest judgment he does not to-day owe any man an apology. However, he knows that much of the service has been far be low the correct standard, but no person has been purposely injured, nor has any duty been shirked through deliberate intention. No person has been the victim of Home Journal malice, and our bank ac count has never equaled the amount of our financial obligations. The ed itor haB never asked for any special privileges, and has over been as courteous and charitable as his en vironments would permit. We are growing old in the ser vice,Jand the years passed are within Omnipotent keeping. Of the year just beginning we can only Bay, we’ll try to be jnst, and give full value for every penny and every fa vor received. We have no specific promises to make. May 1902 be* to every reader full of good— may all treat the year right. ■ 1 1 —T3 < How Shall We Use It? The second year of the twentieth century is here, and, regardless of our desires or inclinations, every in dividual Nvill help make its record of character. On the first day thousands of men and women, young and old, gave thought and voice to good resolu tions, determining that through no error or intention of theirs should there be a blot upon the pages of 1902. That’s all right, and the Home Journal endorses and adopts the following, roproducecl from the Milledgeville Union-Recorder: “May health and happiness, peace and plenty be and abide with you; may good digestion and sound sleep bless your days and nights, and may you rejoice in muscular strength and physical well-being; may your hearts be glad with tho noble impulses of love and friendship, and may your minds expand with kind thoughts for the good of humanity, and your social relations be a “trust” for the betterment of man; may you look on the, bright side of Earth and keep in the middle of the road to ‘Heaven; finally, whatever betides, may you be sustained by an unswerving trust iu the mercy of a Risen Savior and givo an unfaltering allegiance to the Prince of Peace.” - — A New Writer ofthe‘‘Hoosier School.” With General Lew Wallace and James Whitcomb Riley as its deans, the “Hoosier School” of poets and authors is assuming a prominent place in the field of American let ters. The late Maurice Thompson and Charles Major and Booth Tark- ington have each contributed and are still adding to its fame, and now a comparatively new name is written beside these: Frederick M. Smith. Mr. Smith is a native of Indiana, who confesses that he has “been try ing to learn to write for ten years,” and also that the reason his writings haven’t appeared oftener is not so mnch his fault as die editors’l One of his first stories,to attract general attention was “The Blue Gown That wouldn’t Fit,” which came out in the Ladies’ Home Journal last Aug ust. Since then he has contributed a short romance called “Christine” to the same magazine, and an inter esting note about this tale is that it is not wholly a “child of invention.” The material for it was gathered in Germany, where the writer finished his education. During last year the banks of At lanta handled more money, checks and certificates than ever before within one year. , The total in value aggregated about $111,000,000, ex ceeding the operations of 1900 by about $16,000,000. It will' be well for Georgia if all the candidates, county, district and state, come up to the measure of merit as do those who have signi fied their desire to be governor of the state. Of course each of these gentlemen has partisan friends, and some of them may have enemies, but all are able and worthy men, and the election of neither of them tvould discredit the judgment of the peo ple. It is expected that the cam paign will be spirited and spicy, but there cannot be any correct occasion for abuse or discourtesy. — Senor Tomas Estrada Palma was doubtless elected President of Cuba Tuesday, December 31st, 1901. Some ten days ago Gen. Maso declared that he had discovered evidence that fraud would be practiced in behalf of Palma, and the Maso tick et was withdrawn under protest. This election will go far towards proving whether or not the Cubans are capable of self-government. „ • — The legislative joint resolution providing for the interest of the state debt of Georgia to be paid out of the public property fund is now before the Supreme court on the question of constitutionality. The state constitution declares that this fund can be used only to pay the public debt. The Supreme court will probably render a decision this week. Gen. Uhaffee and the Commis sioner Taft make contradictory re ports concerning the condition of affairs in the Philippine Islands. The general’s conception of the pres ent and his expectations for the fu ture make a decidedly gloomy pic ture, while the commissioner's re port is as roseate as a midsummer dream. The situation is profitable and promotive of power to the com missioner, and may not be so to the general. A Deep Mystery. It is a mystery why women en dure backache, headache, nervous ness, sleeplessness, melancholy, faint ing and dizzy spells when thousands have proved that Electric Bitters will quickly cure such troubles, “I suf fered for years with kidney trouble,” writes Mrs. Phebe Cherley, of Peter son, la., “and a lame back pained me bo I could not dress myself, but Elec tric Bitters wholly cured me, and, al though 73 years old, I am now able to do all my housework.” It over comes constipation, improves appe tite, gives perfect health.
