The 1904 Issue Fixed.
While the result of the congres
sional elections in the several states
last Tuesday is not definitely shown
by the reports published Wednes
day, it iB clear that the democrats
are more nearly united thau in the
campaigns of 1900 and 1896.
Whatever the percentage of dem
ocratic gain in membership of the
58th congress Over the membership
of the 67th, it is certain that the
democratic position with reference
to the next presidential campaign is
much improved.
While it may be true that the
democratic vote in all the states was
not as large as th6 leaders had rea
son to expect, the campaign has
been one of education that will lead
to a more thorough understanding
of the vital differences between the
main contentions of the democratic
and republican parties.
It has been clearly shown that the
protective tariff schedules created
and maintained by the republican
party give opportunity for the for
mation of trusts, and furnish main
tenance therefor.
By democratic purpose and speech
it has been shown that trust corpo
rations are inimical to individual en
terprise in all industrial business,
and directly antagonistic to primary
producers and all consumers. It has
oeen dearly shown that the prod
ucts of trust corporations in the
United States are sold in Europe at
prices lower thau they are sold in
the stales where manufactured.
It has also been demonstrated
that the leaders of the republican
party are not disposed to do any
thing that will be displeasing to the
trust magnates. In other words, tho
republican party has been shown to
be in political collusion with the
corporation monopolies.
Whether the 68th congress con
tains a majority of democratic mem
bers, or is republican, the campaign
just closed has fi^ed the issue that
will be the leading feature of the
presidential campaign in 1904.
Of course there will not be nnv
tariff legislation that would re.ln •
the profits or curtail the financ
power of the trust corporations -
long as the republicans are iu c <n
trol. A democratic majority in Ujo
House will be powerless on tliiB line
so long as the Senate and adminis
tration are republican.
All these facts combine to open
the way to the election of a demo
cratic president in 1904.
Editor Home Journal:
We desire through the medium of
your publication to explain to the
citizens of Houston county the ob
ject of a bill which will be intro
duced at thiB session of the legisla
ture, and of which notice is given in
this issue of your paper, to establish
a dispensary in Fort Valley. ,
In a few words, the bill provides
for a dispensary in Fort Valley if a
majority of the voters of the 9th
district desire one; it likewise gives
other incorporated towns in the
county containing 300, or more,
population, the right to establish a
dispensary, on recommendation of
tho municipal authorities.
From the foregoing it will be
seen that Fort Valley does not at
tempt to take any advantage over
her sister cities, neither does she
presume to dictate to them in refer
ence to dispensaries. The passage
of this bill would mean, if sanction
ed by a majority of the voters of the
9th district, a dispensary for Fort
Valley (one-half of the profits to go
to the county and. one-half to the
town) and one for Perry and Byron
if the citizens of those places desire
one.
With this explanation, we confi
dently look for the support of those
citizens who desire a reduction of
taxation, which would surely come
with the establishment of a dispen
sary. Respectfully,
Committee from Petitioners.
Fort Valley, Nov. 3, 1902.

— Some farmers near Perry
have made more cotton this year
than they made last year with
the same number of plows.
Concerning wheat growing and a
large flour mill, the Macon Tele
graph says: “Several capitalists
have stated positively to Telegraph
reporters that they would construct
and equip a mill at Macon at once
they were assured that wheat
growing would continue to increase,
and that the farmers would plant
enough to supply the demand. The
farmers, on the other hand, say they
are already planting enough, but
they are using it • as stock feed be
cause they have to haul it too far to
have it ground. It begins to look
as if the coming season will see the
capitalists and the farmers get to
gether and construct a big mill at
Macon.”
There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years dootors pro
nounced it a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science lias proven cathrrh to bo a constitu
tional disease, and therefore requires constitu
tional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manu
factured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
tho only constitutional euro on tho market It
is talcon internally in doses from 10 drops to a

The North Georgia Conference of
tho Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, whioh will be in session in
Atlanta from November 19th to
24th, is said to be the largest anna
al conference in the world. Of the
763 churches included in this con
ferbnee there are 100,000 members,
277 itinerant preachers, 307 local
preaohers, 181 parsonages and
church property valued at $1,267,-
655. Besides the salaries of pastors
and presiding elders, the collections
and disbursements of this confer
ence annually aggregate $142,000
for foreign and home missions,
wornout preachers, widows and or
phans, church extension, etc.
A union passenger depot will be
built in Atlanta on property owned
by the Southern Railway Company
The Central and other roads enter
ing Atlanta will take stock in the
company that will build and control
the depot. This departure • creates
a problem for the state, its depot
being a “baok number,” and the
tenants preparing to withdraw and
furnish their own depot.
The legislature will do exceeding
ly well to enact a law that will leave
local legislation to the counties di
rectly affected. A general law might
give autonomy to the counties con
coming all purely local affairs.
