Fubliahod Every Thursday Morning. J«io. It. LODGES. Editor and Publisher Perry, Thursday, February 28. Georgia was 169 years old on February 12th. Gurrby aud Terrell seem to be conducting something of a disjoint ed joint debate. i t~«-4 A majority of the county papers are not editorially espousing the cause of any candidate for governor of Georgia. ....-4— —— Mas. William Henry Ross, one of the most prominent oitizens of Ma con, died at his home in that city last Friday morning.

The Augusta Herald evidently be lieves in spending money, aud the improvements and investments made by that paper recently show that the money has been well spent. In tel egraphic aud special news service The Herald is making a record that places that paper among the coming journals of the south. President Roosevelt declared in his review of the Schley controversy that Sohley was not in command at the naval battle in Sautiago harbor, that it was a captains’ fight, that Sampson was in command, but that neither Sampson nor Schley is en titled to especial credit. Contrary to this decision the verdict of the people is that Schley is the hero of ■that fight, and that verdict will staud. A new union passenger depot at Atlanta is not yet assured, notwith standing the law authorizing the state to build it. At the conference in Atlanta last week the railroad au thorities asked for a specific plan be fore agreeing, to use the depot and pay the rental as the law provides It is suggested that the state rail road commission can force the rail roads to an agreement by ordering each of them now using the state’s depot to build a new depot. On The Right Line. The following endorsement of our contention that the nomination of candidates for county offices should be entirely distinct and separate from the nomination for candidates for congress and state offices, was written by a well-known and highly esteemed citizen of Houston county. • While the letter was not written for publication, we do not think it is improper to give it to our readers, as the name of the author is with held: “My Dear Sir: Permit me to say that you are on the right line in your editorial in to-day’s issue of the Home Journal entitled 'Don’t Mix Them.’ It is not just to the candidates for county offices to bring on the county nominations on same day with the congressional and gubernatorial nominations. These latter completely overshadow the former and the voters will not take the interest they should in selecting proper chanty officials. I hope you will continue to use the influence of your valuable columns to divorce these nominations. With best wish es, I am Your Friend.” It is within the province of the people to decide this question, and in accord with their decision give instruction to the now executive committee to be chosen at a mass meeting to be held at the court house on the first Monday in April next. In the meantime the columns of the Home Journal are open for a free diseusBionof the subject. m t mmmmmmm mtmmmm i • A Fight in The Senate. The most unseemly incident ever witnessed in the United States sen ate oocurred last Saturday-—a fight between Senators Tillman and Mc- Laurin of South Garolina. In a speech concerning the bill to ar range a tariff schedule for the Phil ippine Islands, Tillman declared that McLaurin had sold his vote to the republican party for official patron age. McLaurin denounced the oharge as a willful, malicous lie and Tillman responded with a blow, each then striking the other vigorously. By force the belligerent senators were separated, and by unanimous vot the senate declared them to be in contempt and referred the inci dent to a committee. Pending the report of the committee and the ac tion of the senate thereon, the of fending senators cannot in any way participate in any prooeodings of the senate. After being declared to be iu contempt, the South Carolina senators apologized to the senate, but not to eaoh other. Some talk of expulsion has been heard, and the senate has authority to impose that penalty. However, the practical suspension that may continue for 30 days and a formal veto of censure, will probably close the incident so far as official action of the sentate is concerned. Outside of the senate the incident is regarded as a disgrace to the par ticipants and brands them as un worthy of the commissions they hold. by fa- article ; there many i The March number of the Wo- j man’s Home Companion opens with a charming description of “The .

It is now declared that the oaptors were not Bulgarian brigands, but Macedonian patriots, aud that the money will be used in a revolt against Turkish rule. A Fireman’s Close call. “I stuck to my engine, although every joint ached and every nerve was racked with pain,” writes C. W. Bellamy, a locomotive fire man, of Burlington, Iowa., “I was weak and pale, without any appetite and all run down. As 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.

The Southeastern Tariff Associa tion of fire insurance companies has decided to increase rates 26 per cent on all stocks of merchandise, frame store buildings and factories. It is said the heavy losses within the last three years, and especially those since January 1st. 1902, make this increase absolutely necessary. The association has the power of a trust, having destroyed competition by combination. Advices from Washington say that J. Pierrepont Morgan Lf New York, and other capitalists of corporation notoriety, paid a significant visit to President Roosevelt last Saturday night. By order of the president proceedings had been commenc ed to test the legality of the consolidation of certain compet ing lines of north-western rail roads, under the jurisdiction of a securities company organized for that purpose. It is said the capi talists demanded of the president that he let the corporatins alone. Law and money are in antagonism for controlling power, and develop ments will be watched for with much interest. Will the president continue trne to his expressed con victions? Prince Henry of Prussia reached New York last Saturday, one day late, and was welcomed with great display of cordiality, and much of ficial courtesy was extended. On Monday he was entertained in state by President Roosevelt at the White House in Washington. The excuse for this official visit of a German prince to the United States is that Emperor Wilhelm, his brother, may be represented at the launching of ; a yacht built for him ai New York. Miss Alice Roosevelt, daughter of the president, christened the yacht Tuesday morning.
