The Southern Railway Company has bought another railroad, the At lantic, Valdosta and Western, which extends from Valdosto to Jackson ville, Fla., a distance of 110 miles between these points, and 45 miles of branches and spur tracks. At Valdosta the A. V. & W. connects with the Georgia Southern, which road for several years has been con trolled by the Southern. The South ern controls more miles of railway than any other road in the south. The Great Material Question. Shall this country be controlled by the government or by the trusts? This is the greatest question in connection with the material affairs of the people that confronts us now. The beginning was with the con tention that the infant industries of this country needed tariff protection in order that manufacturing might be increased, labof given employ ment at better wages, better mar kets for farm products, and general prosperity promoted. This was decidedly catchy, and the republican party increased its strength by a line of policy that has operated to build up rapacious mo nopoly and heartless trust corpora tions. It has long since been demonstrated that the tariff protection afforded the manufacturers operated only to give them excessive profits without any relative benefits to the consum ers of their produots or the laborers engaged in their manufacture. The recent unprecedented increase in the number of trusts, and in the announced volume of capital invest ed, proves conclusively that the re publican party is a partner in gener al with the money power engaged in the management of corporations. The salvation of the country de pends upon the overthrow of repub lican power, and it can only be done through the democratic party. The keynote of the congressional campaign is expressed in the follow ing resolution adopted by the dem ocratic state convention of South Carolina at Columbia last Thursday: “That we view with alarm the power whioh the trusts, through the republican party, are exeroising over legislation and national politics, and their ability to control the prices of the necessities of life without regard to the law of supply and demand. We condemn the hypocritical atti tude of the republican leaders who abuse trusts and combines while they use the money obtained from them and extorted from the people to debauch the ignorant voters of the country.'’ Georgia Educational Association. The thirty-sixth annual session of this organization will be held at Ty- bee from June 19th to 21st inclusive.

The coming country school, com pulsory education, kindergarten in struction, physical culture, school supervision, educational progress, normal training, deficiencies in teaching, etc., are among the sub jects .that will be treated in written papers and discussed by those in at tendance. The Central of Georgia Railway Company will give very low round- trip passenger rates. Teachers and other in Houston will receive further information on application to Commissioner Geo. W. Smith, Perry, Ga. In the democratic state conven tion of South Carolina at Columbia last Thursday a pledge was fixed for candidates for the senate and house of representatives, requiring them to stand on the party platform and vote with their colleagues on party questions. This is understood to place the democratic ban upon Sen ator McLaurin, but the convention went further and condemned his course in the senate. Senator Till man practically dominated the con vention, and it is said A. 0. Latimer is his choice for the senatorship, The other| prospective ' candidates are J. G. Evans, Johnstone, Elliott, Hemphill and Henderson. The plat form declares in favor qf a. tariff for revenue, reciprocity with Cuba, and severely condemns imperialism, mo nopoly trusts and tariff .protection. , Another county fair will be held in Jones county next fall.

Of Absorbing Interest. , By Fair Flay. We are having more gospel preach ed among us than usual, apd plenty of politics, too. Some of our interested people want to know who will be the next clerk, the next sheriff, the next so licitor; who’s going to be this and who’s going to be that. They are getting very impatient as to who will be elected. Well, we have lots of good men aspiring for office; and I truly wish all their political aspi rations could be gratified, so that all could get a taste of politics, and then I am afraid they would never want to get out of the way for the other fellow. It’s a wonder some of them are not wanting to know who will be our next ordinary, two years hence, and if they do, I have no doubt but what they could find out through our Home Journal editor. He looks very “ordinary” anyway* I have no unkind word to say of any candidate in this campaign, and the majority of them are my per sonal friends, but I do think we should cast our votes for the most competent. It is a compliment to any county to have officers to fill their places honorably. We very of ten, though, along on this line, let our friendship and sympathy get the better of our judgment. Isn’t it right amusing to Bee how hopeful all the candidates are? They can all sing now without one dis senting voice, “Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,” but after the 5th of June there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth with some of the candidates. Be cheerful, boys; no matter what happens, sunshine is the best. I am receiving some very nice let ters from the state candidates ask ing me to use my influence for them. They must think I am a very influ ential Houstonian. If I wss as pop ular as they think, I would run for coroner and beat Barney Schilling. If it wasn’t too late, I would try him a barrel anyway. Hayneville, Ga. — 1 ■■» # * Reports from all over the state now indicate that the primary next Thursday will not give any candi date for governor a majority of the delegates to the state canvention. In the convention there will be 850 delegates, and 176 will be necessary to nominate. If this should be true, it is argued by many that Estill will most likely be the nominee, the log ic of the argument being that in any effort to break the deadlock the Guerry and Terrell delegates will be more easily persuaded to vote for Estill than for the other candidate. Representatives of southern plow manufacturers met in Cincinnati last Friday to discuss the advantages of closer industrial co-operation in the uniformity of prices.
