President Roosevelt is making a
tour of the middle west, in behalf of
republican politics. His attitude to
ward trust ooroporations is not in
accord with the leaders of the party,
aid it is hoped he will make consid
erable capital for the democratic
campaigners,

Republican wrath was heaped last
week upon the defenseless head of
lion. D. B. Henderson of Iowa,
speaker of the national house of rep
resentatives. Henderson is an ar-
>!ent proteotionist, and the Iowa
state republican convention had
adopted a platform containing a de
mand for tariff revision as a means
of oheoking trusts. Speaker Hen
derson had been renominated for
congress, but he deolined the nomi
nation, giving as th8 reason the lack
of sympathy between his constitu
ents on the tariff question. If thor
oughly honest, he is right, but it is
charged that he feared defeat.
Whatever the real cause of Mr.
Henderson’s refusal to accept the
nomination, the act illustrates sueh
a republican division of political
sentiment that gives hope of suoh
democratic success as -will overcome
the republican majority in the house
of representatives.
Our Boys.
All parents are not financially able
to give their boys the start in life
that would please them most.
It is a fact beyond dispute that
the young man is best fitted for
business life whose school-room ed
ucation is complete. Of course there-
must be specific training for specifio
service, but the knowledge that
comes from the mastery of a college
course so broadens the mind and
stimulates desire that the aptitude
for further learning by absorbtion or
positive endeavor is made easier.
Many fathers, however, are una
ble to do more for their sons on this
line than to give them all that the
best local school affords. Right here
the boy’s opportunity to make a
showing is at hand. If he is satis
fied, and displays no inclination to
surmout the difficulties, and render
some assistance in order that he
may “go up higher” in the educa
tional march, it may be Jbest that
the father make no further effort.
However, the main purpose of
this writing is not to define the re
spective duties of father and son,
but to direct attention to the need
of higher grades in our local schools.
It may be true that the mastery of
the full oourse at Perry or Fort Val
ley is sufficient preparation for the
ordinary boy, but it is also true that
a grade or two higher would be
much better. If the currioulum of
the school at Perry should be so
raised as to fit the students for en
try into the junior elass of the col
leges, not only would those who
cannot go to college be much better
fitted for business, but the college
course would be brought within the
reach of many of those whose envi
ronment compels them to oount the
eost olosely.
The sohool, as the oourt of justice,
is not a money-making institution,
but it goes without saying, that the
better a school is, the more benefi
oial it is to the town in which it is
located as well as of more servioe to
the students.
Agricultural Exhibit at Macon.
The following circular letter < \
plains itself:
“The Farmers’ National Oor.gv ; ; .
meets in Maoon on the 7, 8, 9 and
10th of October, There will be del
egates from every state in the Un

We wish to exhibit the agricultural
aud mineral resources of Georgia

can raise in Georgia. The superin
tendent of the exhibit, a practical
farmer, appeals to his farmer friends
and the delegates to assist him in
this display. Spaoe will be given to
each county in the state, from Ap
pling to White, and the name of the

oats, peas, potatoes, sheafs of rice,
stalk of sugar cane, apples, eto. A

ous samples of corn, oats, wheat,
peas, peanuts, potatoes, etc. Will
guarantee return of what is sent for
exhibition, or wilLjiay for it.
Republicans throughout the coun
try are very much disturbed at the
prominence of the tariff question in
the congressional campaigns. With
in the republican party there aie
many, notably in the middle-west
states, who agree with the demo
crats that there is urgent need of
tariff revision.
From Washington it is reported
that President Roosevelt may ap
point a tariff revision commission,
and that there will be an extra ses
sion of congress next spring.

At Birmingham, Ala., last Friday
a stampede in a crowded .negro
ehureh caused the death of about
100 people, and the serious injury of
as many more. A national Baptist
congress was being held, and the
building was literally packed with
about 3,000 people. It is said a
Birmingham negro stepped on the
foot of a delegate from Baltimore,
and a fight resulted. A woman
screamed, aud the cry of “fight"
was mistaken for fire, and a panic
ensued. In the mad rush from the
building hundreds were crushed,and
in falling to the floor the number
mentioned were literally crushed to
death. The stampede occurred di-
•ontlo after Booker Washington had
•uucludad an address on “Industry."
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot roach the

way to oure deafness, and that Is by constitu

Eustachian Tnbe. When this tube gets inflam
ed you havo a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearings and when It’s entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the Inflammation can
bo taken out and this tube restored to its nor
mal condition, hearing will bo destroyed forev

which Is nothing but an inflamed condition of
