The Primary, June 5fch«-
The candidates have just one week
m which to persuade the voters.
Some of them are exceedingly act
ive.
As heretofore declared, in Hom-
ton the primary will include the
nomination of state officers, judge
and solicitor of the superior court,
congressman, state senator, repre
sentatives, and all county officers
except ordinary.
The regulations are that the polls
may be open at all the precinots
used in 1900, and that the polls at
all must be opened at 9 o’clock a. m.
and closed at 4p. m.
The members of the executive
committee of each district must ei
ther manage the polls in their re
spective districts, or secure the ser
vice of other managers.
The returns must be brought to
Perry before noon Friday by one
manager from each precinct, and by
these managers the vote oonsolida
ted and the result declared.
Delegates to the state convention
must be appointed by the county
executive committee, said delegates
,to favor the candidates nominated.
Result of the vote for congress
man and state senator must be cer
tified to the respective district com
mittees, for use in their conventions,
id delegates will be appointed by
le successful candidates. In both
ases, however, this will be a mere
latter of form, as there is no oppo
tion for congressman or state sen-
! 'or.
I The neoessary papers for holding
:ne election at each precinot, includ
ng the ballots and lists of qualified
/o'era, will be forwarded to the sev
eral precincts early next week.
It must not be forgotten that
mch man must vote in hiB own dis-
rict, or at Perry* as the list of vo
ters at each precinot will contain
\ only the names of those residing in
f that district, except that at Perry
( the full county list, by districts, will
be used.
The offioial ballot will contain the
names of all the candidates who have
complied with the rules provided,
and the voter must soratch all ex
cept those for whom he desires to
vote. If any name not printed on
the official ballot is placed ther*, it
will not be counted. If any ticket
other than the official ballot is offer
jed, it will not be received, or count
*led. /'
If the offioial ballot contains the
names of several candidates for an
office for whioW only one is to be
nominated and ,more than one name
left unsemteheded, that ballot

Some of ota/f ipiople say there
has-been no spring in Houston . this
year, but that summer came in on
the heels of jwinter. Be that as it
may, weather condiditions prevent
ed early planting and nearly all the
farmers are fully two weeks behind
with their work of cultivation.
With half the cotton unchopped,
wheat and some oats are ripe for
the harvest, corn needs plowing and
j| grass is growing vigorously. Rain
I jas been plentiful in some sections,
f while in others the condition is al
most comparable to a drouth in sum
mer tm' Despite all these “set
Vks,” the farmers are not showing
/ lack of courage or hope, nor are
y grumbling as they have been
gn to do in other years. With
1 joined energy they are doing
gst, and the current opinion
|ic good crops will be their re-
^ when autumn harvest comes.

i> republican' authority a bill has
a introduced in congress provid
er for a commission to inquire into
Lae condition of the negro in the
south. The commission is to be
composed of five persons, to be paid
$3,500 each and an allowance for
traveling expenses. On the faoe of
the bill it appears that the purpose
is to serve the negroes, but in fact it
is expected to serve the republican
party by affording an excuse for re
ducing the congressional representa
) tion in southern states where a con
siderable proportion of negroes re

The candidates for state offices
have given expression*to vigorous
protest against the assessments im
posed by the counties to assist in
paying the expenses of the primary,
and the Constitution says steps will
and true, consistent in his devo
tion to) the tenets of the Prima-
itve Baptist church, of which he
had long been an earnest mem
ber.
He had been in failing health
for more than a year, and critic
ally ill several weeks.
Several sons and daughters and
a number of grand-children mourn

A more specific memorial no

Picnic at Oak drove.
Our school picnic at Oak Grove
on May 23| was very jnuch enjoy
ed by all present. Owing to the
nurnber of picnics on that day,
our crowd was not so large as we
might otherwise have expected,
though all the neighborhood peo:
pie were present, and a few visi
tors, whom we were glad to see,
The genial candidates were very
much in evidence for a while in
the forenoon, but most of them
left for other places, attracted by
the rumors of great barbecues,and
also the large crowds of voters to
be smiled upon. V
The dinner was all that could
be desired, and sufficient to have
fed four timeB as many people.
I-n the afternoon, several games
of JJcroquet were enjoyed by the
poung people, though the weather
was too warm to indulge in much
of this sport.
The day was very pleasantly,
though quietly spent, and will
long be remembered by all pres
ent. ‘ E. P.
is said about half the counties of the
state have demanded these contri
butions. It may not be right, but
with the authority assumed by the
state committee to regulate meth
ods, the expenses of the primary
must be paid, and if not by candi
dates, then by whom?

—In talking with a Houston
fruit grower who has observed the
conditions closely, Tuesday after
noon, the conclusion is unavoida
ble that the peoch crop will be
considerably short this year.
Many of the varieties are very
shy indeed, and the curculio and
brown rot have caused many oth
ers to drop from the trees. Some
few of the very earliest varieties
were shipped last week, and more
have gone forward since Monday.
This gentleman says he does not
expect many carloads to go for
ward until early July, when the
Elbertas will be ripe. However,
if the fruit is of good size, color
and flavor, the improved situation
as to selling may give better
profits.
—At least one thousand Hous
ton county people enjoyed picnics
last Friday. There were five,
Fort Vallley at Norwood Springs,
Wellston and Bonaire at. Beech
Haven; the respective schools at
Union Academy, Oak Grove and
Cleveland. Perry was represent
ed at all of them, and we are told
that each was tip-top in its ap
pointments and thoroughly en
joyable.
President Hughes of the Georgia
State Agricultural Society and offi
cers of the state fair association
have asked the railroad authorities
for a round-trip passenger fare of
one cent a mile for the state fair at
Yaldosta next October. The propo-
siti'in is being considered, and the
f..; - authorities think it will be
gia-it ; d. We believe such a low rate
would be comparatively as profitable
to the railroads as to the fair associ
ation. Certainly it would very large
ly increase the attendance.
