«*■ V- • PUIOE, a.oOA 73A1V, in ADVANCE. Published Every Thursday Morning. Jjbo S.ICOOQ-SSO, Editor %n<i PubUiihor Perry, Thursday, February 20. State and county politics should not be mixed. An immoral man should not be elected to any office. »- %V -4 , Dispensary profits will revolution* ize the whiskey traffic in Georgia. Postmaster W. H. Smyth of At ianta died at his home in that city last Monday. ** «» 4 The gubernatorial campaign should not be allowed to become a factor in the selection of local officers in any county. Professedly neutral between the candidates for governor, the Atlanta Constitution displays decided par tiality to Terrell. * •* Representative Livingston, of Georgia, will bo one of the official guests at the White House dinner to be given in, honor of Prince Hen ry of Prussia. 4 By faithful work Congressman Low ; s is strengthening himself in the esteem of third district demo crats, Opposition to his ro-olection is not yet apparont. I* «» 4 The next. Georgia state fair will bolield at Valdosta, that plucky lit tle city having offered $12,000 in premiums and 25 per oeut of the net profits, against Savannah’s bid of *10,000. - . ... -► «•*- ~ It is ridiculous for auy candidate for governor, or any of his friends, to olaim a majority of the counties at this stage of tho campaign. Peo ple very often claim more than is their due. England aud Japan have entered into a political alliance, and the gen eral opinion is, that tho stability of China is thereby assured. So far unfavorable comment has not been expressed by other governments. ••-4- • • The proposed issue of bonds for the city of Macou was defeated by vote of the people on Tuesday of lost woek. At this distauoe it seems that, the result is chiefly due. to the editorial opposition of the Telegraph. Col. James M. Smith, of Ogle thorpe, probably the wealthiest far mer in the state, is a • candidate for the governorship of Georgia. If all the Smiths in the state will vote for him, his chanoes are decidedly good. There was much snow in north Georgia last Friday and Saturday, and some aB far south as Maoon on Sunday. On Monday there was an exceptionally heavy Bnow storm in New York and throughout the north eastern states. If it be true that oil has been dis covered on Secretary Phil Oook’s plantation in Lee county, he may become a candidate for congress or governor. He would have in abund ance the wherewith to lubricate the wheels of politics, you know. ■ — The third anniversary of the Geor gia Industrial Home, near Macon, will be celebrated with appropriate exercises next Saturday. On Febru ary .22, 1899, the Home was opened with three children, and now it con tains 195, supported eutirely by pri vate benevolence and their own in dustry. —Thes largest real estate deal made in this locality in many years was concluded last week when Mr. W. M. Gordon sold his Spivey plantation to Mr. B. P. Starbuck. The farm is within l| miles of Perry, on the road to Elko, and embraces about 1100 iicres. We understand the consid eration was $10,000. Mr. Star- buck aud family will move into their new home this week. They Jtave been living on an adjoining farm. What Mr. Gordon’s busi ness plans are, lie has not yet dis closed. Mrs. Gordon is visiting her mother in Florida, and the children are attending school at Columbus. Don’t Mix Them. The state, congressional and coun ty campaigns should be entirely sep arate and- distinct as to the basis of selection. No candidate for county office should in any degree be affected by his choice of a candidate for gov ernor. No voter should favor a can didate for county office because that candidate agrees with him in the choice of a candidate for governor, or other state office. We are led to these remarks be cause we know that in former cam paigns county candidates in Hous ton have been favored, or disfavor ed, because of their attitude toward the respective candidates for con gress. Such campaigning is unjust and unwise, and perverts the purpose of nomination by primary vote. Each candidate should be subject ed to a measure of merit, and by that measurement alone he should be chosen or rejected. Coming Democratic Way. Conditions and discussions in con gress and in business feircles are be ing combined to the political advan tage of the democratic party. Statistical reports disclose the fact that products of trust corporations in the United States have been sold, and are being sold in foreign coun tries at prices lower than the prices at which the same goods are Bold in the states and localities where man ufactured. These products are pro tected bv heavy duties upon tho im portation of similar goods manufac tured in other countries. This pro tective tariff forcos consumers t;o pay higher prices because of prohibited competition. The question is asked, “Why can not American manufacturers sell at homo as cheaply as they soil in for eign countries?” The answer is that the protective tariff gives them the power of exacting their own prices here, by prohibiting foreign compe tition. These facts disclose the righteous ness of the democratic gntentiou that the import tariffs should be lev ied for revenue only. If the democratic leaders are wise they will make opposition to the re publican protective tariff the chief issue in the coming congressional campaigns. Electing a majority of representatives in the next congress, the chances on this lino will be good for gainiug victory in the next pres idential campaign. Of oourse anti-imperialism will be an issue, but the chief and winning contention must be “a tariff for rev enue only.” It is reported that Editor E. L. Rainey of Dawson will be a candi date for the legislature from Terrell county. Editor Rainey is worthy and well qualified, and if he is will ing to sacrifice himself, the people of Terrell oould not consistently fai) to elect him. Lee is a native of Houston county, and served his newspaper apprenticeship in the Home Journal office at Perry. During the past year The Augusta Herald has made rapid strides in the newspaper world. Its plant has been improved and added to until it now has one of the model newspaper of fices in tho south. In its news and editorial columns, the same marked improvement is shown. Aside from its local news, its telegraphic aud special service is among the best furnished by southern newspapers. —. -0—4- ■*— The proposed government enter tainment of Prince Henry of Prus sia during his visit to the Uuited States is contrary to the fundamen tal principles of this Republic. It would be equally antagonistic to the spirit of our government for a mem ber of our president’s family to at tend the coronation of King Ed ward of England as a special guest. Some people think the visit of Prince Henry of Prussia is the fore runner of a proposition from Ger many to purchase the Philippine Islands. Many prominent democrats seem to think anti-imperialism should be the chief democratic principle in the next presidential campaign. »-•-« Gov, Taft, of the Philippine civil commission, thinks the Filipinos should be given qualified suffrage. Extravagant praise is. seldom ben eficial, politically or otherwise. i Hattie News.

W. Bellamy, a locomotive fire man, of Burlington, Iowa., “I was weak and pale, without any appetite and all run down. A9 I was about to give up, I got a bot tle of Electric Bitters and, after taking it, I felt as well as I ever did in my life.” Weak, sickly run down people always gain new life, strength and vigor from their use.
