Fas Maas PRICE, #1.80 A PEAR, IN ADVANOE. Published Evory Thursday Morning. Jno.Et. HODGES, Editor and Publisher Perky, Thursday, June 19. Georgia liay should receive much attention this summer. It will pay. - ■* ~~ It is said “the slate” contains the name of Clark Howell for governor in i 904. A Georgia cadet was awarded first honor in the graduating class at West Point last week. The republicans in congress are industriously manufacturing demo cratic campaign material. — The present excessively high price of meat should direct careful atten tion to growing Georgia hogs.

It seems that all the people are in great dan ger of practically becoming servants of the trusts. Getting Away From the People. Within the last several years there has been much at home and abroad to indicate that those who control this government are imbued with the idea that the United States have outgrown the limitations of re publican simplicity. Every republi can effort is in the direction of cen tralization, increasing the power of the administration and decreasing the privileges of the people. Impe rialism has proven exceedingly at tractive to the prevailing power, and the government is looking that way with much yearning. If the Character of the govern ment accorded Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands does not indicate the trend of republican aspiration, perhaps the attitude of our adminis tration with reference to the war in South Africa and diplomatic deal ings with kings and emperors might make the situation clearer. At the coronation of the young King of Spain a special envoy rep resented the United States and re ceived especially royal consideration. Three special envoys of the United States are now in London to attend the coronation of England^ King. Yet, at the birth of a new repub lic very near to the United States, when the first president of Ouba was inaugurated, the United States was not represented by any special oifioinl, though for more than three years the government of that island had been administered by military officers of this country. Verily, ac tions speak louder than \yords. The people must dethrono the re publican party, else the people will bo dethroned permanently. Senator Hanna is contending for the construction of the proposed isthmian oanal across Panama, but the earnest advooates of the Nicara guan route believe the president maker is really and intentionally ob structing canal legislation. »-■«-«« ' With all the brag about Terrell’s winning race, he received less than half of the popular vote of the state in the primary. In the next prima ry the vote of each county should be certified to the state convention, and by that body consolidated. It is said Editor Rainey of the Dawson News, who will represent Terrell county in the next legisla ture, proposes to introduce a bill to prohibit drinking of liquor on the capitol premises. That would be a capital law, providing punishment for a capitol offense. . It has been frell said that an edu cated man is a wealth product6r; an uneduoated mar is merely a day la borer. One has his brains to assist the skill of his hands, and the two together—brains and skill—is a combinasion which has made na tions wealthy and powerful. The laborer has only the power of mus cles, and that limits the product of the world.—Exchange. w — At a mass meeting held at Hawk- insville one day last week, the bar of that city and citizens of Pulaski county resolved to present to the Georgia state democratic convention a candidate for associate justice of the Supreme court, in case a vacan cy is caused by the expected resig nation of Justice Lewis. The gen tleman selected is Gapt. J. H. Mar tin," and those who know him well cordially subscribe to the endorse ment accorded him by the people of his home city and county. The Chautauqua edition of the Dublin Courier-Dispatoli last Mon day was an exceptionally creditable issue of that excellent paper.

Sinoe the state primary there have been published complaints in many counties about the slowness of the count at certain precincts. We give one: The Cordele Sentinel says at Vienna the count of 395 votes was not concluded until 2;30 o’clock in the morning. No direct charge of unfairness in the count has been ut tered outright, but in some counties suoh has been intimatod. We •!.> i not believe that there was any' oheating, but that the tardiuess w«n caused by inexperienoe, the unusual length of the tioket and the new method. At Perry the count of 238 votes was concluded, the result an nounced, the papers signed and the entire returns, locked up before nine o’clock. It is uncharitable to inti mate dishonesty to any board of managers because they were slow. Hon. H. G. Lewis, associate jus tice of the Supreme court of Geor gia, is in ill health, and it is intima ted that he will resign on or before October 1st. Considering this prob ability, a question has arisen con cerning his successor, but it is agreed that if it is known that he will resign before the meeting of the state democratic convention, that body will nominate his successor, to be elected in October. Should the resignation be delayed, the govern or would appoint until a special election could be ordered. In con nection with this rumor, several gentlemen have been named as pros pective candidates: Gapt. J. H. Mar tin of Hawkinsville, Judge Felton, DuPont Guerry, J. H. Hall and oth ers of Macon, several of Atlanta and other north Georgia towns. , It would not be right to measure a man’s democracy by the liquor question. Whether or not, or how, liquor shall be sold is not a question of party politics, but one of morality and conscience, and each voter should decide in accord with a higher measure than that of politi cal policy. Should the state con vention declare local option a part of the party platform of principles, or policies, then a man believing in and advocating prohibition would be declared not a democrat. Let morality influence politics, but don’t attempt to measure morality with the yardstick of political policy. *-C»—4 Col. Estill has asked Chairman Brown of the state committee for a recount of the primary vote in about 20 counties, declaring that he has reason to believe that the correction of irregularities would so change the result as to give him a chance to receive the nomination. Chair man Brown declares he has no pow er to order a recount, and says the protest must be submitted to the convention. In comment others say that the demand should be made to the committees of the counties des ignated. Teachers’ Institute at Fort Valley.
