President Roosevelt may force
the republican party to nominate
him for the presidency. Such pow
er is not good for the party nor the
country. No man has such power

ocracy doesn’t need a boss.

Concerning the cotton orop pros-
pest Mr. Calder B. Willingham, the
Macon warehouseman and manufac
turer, said to a Telegraph reporter
several days ago: “I believe that
the yield this year will show an in
crease of 15 per oenr. oyer the crop
of 1902; but in all my thirty years’
experience in the cotton business, I
have never encountered such a con
dition as prevails now. There is no
surplus cotton. The dethand is
ahead of the supply, and new cotton
require? a mixture of old cotton to
make it immediately available for
manufacturing.” This statement
seems to predict that prices will not
decline until the supply catches up
with the demand.
Community Interests.
—
While success in life is dependent
upon individual effort, it is none
the less true that in union there is
strength.
It is ever to be expected that each
individual will devote his most earn
est efforts for his own benefit, bht
snoh efforts are more apt to be suc
cessful when he is in harmony with
his environment. Individual efforts
count best where the individual is
in accord with his neighbors con
cerning community interests. The
individual is only a part of the com
munity in whioh he lives, and he
cannot be entirely independent of
community interests.
Besides the mere' matter of mon
ey making, the support and educa
tion of the family, there are affairs
that are of commanding importance
to each individual, and to all com
bined.
Be the community town or coun
ty, affairs of education, churoh, so
ciety, politics and business are at all
times community interests, and he
serves himself best who is most aot-
ive in advancing and harmonizing
those interests that must affect all,
and without the development of
whioh no one ean be successful to
the fullest extent. Even in conduct
ing his own business, community in
terests oannot be ignored.
As eaoh individual must be aotive
and wise in serving his own interests,
so is it necessary that he join-with
others in the community in promot
ing the interests that affeot all in
proportion to the position they oo-
cupy.
While not identical, individual in
dividual interests oannot be entirely
apart from and antagonistic to com
munity interests.
When the community interests
are in good shape, individual inter
ests will more readily yield good re
turns for correot and active effort.

At Hot Springs, Va., the Ameri
can Bar Association was in session
last week, a majority of the states
being represented by their most
able lawyers. Probably the most
notable notion taken was the report
concerning the business combina
tions that have become monopolies
— the trusts. These organizations
are declared hurtful to the general
interests of the people and the gov
ernment, and that thetr continued
growth should be impeded by law.
A franobise tax imposed by the
states was mentioned as a means to
enrb these gigantic corporations.
Judge Hammond of Georgia was
one of the speakers on this subject.

Advertising the Georgia state fair
is under the management of compe
tent men, and the pictorial posters
are excellent specimens of the print
ing art. Monday morning the ad-
Nertisingcar started south over the
G. S. & F. railroad, and every town
in all the lower section of the state
will be liberally posted. Beyond
this, however, is the fact that the
fair promises to be the best and
most comprehensive ever held in the
state, showing clearly the resources
and capacity of the state in agricul
ture, horticulture, stook-raising and
manufacturing. The Central City
must see to it that the thousands of
visitors will have comfortable accom
modation at reasonable prices.
Reports have been received in
Lowndes and other south Georgia
counties from negroes who went to
Liberia, Afriea, several years ago.
In these reports it is said the condi
tion of the Georgia negroes there is
ganerally bad, and some of them are
in a deplorable state. They are. anx
ious to return to Georgia, and im
plore their friends here to help them.
Efforts are in progress to induce the
federal government to render aid in
seeuring transportation for these dis
satisfied emigrants.

Last week a Fitzgerald citizen re
ported to the Macon Telegraph*that
immense droves of very large black
birds were devouring the cotton cat
erpillars in Irwin county. Similar
reports were received from citizens
of Berrien, Pulaski and Worth coun
ties. Very great damage will be
prevented if fcthese early birds qatch
the worms in all the infested fields.
Then would cotton farmers call the
blaok birds blessed and demand
their protection.

Our New Tax Bate.
Iu business session last Tuesday
the county commissioners fixed ^he
tax rate for this vear at 6£ mills, or
$6.60 on the §1,000 of property.
ThiB will yield about $21,000 for all
county purposes.
The increased rate is expected to
provide money for new bridges, pay
ment of chaingang expenses and im
provement of the court house.
Representatives of 9 steel bridge
companies submitted bids for bridg
es overJBay and Mossy creeks, rang
ing from $2,35G to $2,618. It was
deoided not to build steel bridges
at present, but to receive bids for
wooden bridges at next meeting of
the board.
The advisability of re-establishing
the chaingang was discussed, and
the question was practically deter
mined in the affirmative.
Just what the extent of improve
ment on the court house will be has
hot been determined.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of tne ear. There Is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is hy constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of tlio mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflam
ed youliave a rumbling sound or imperfect
lioarlug, 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 he destroyed forev
er, nine eases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
whioh is nothing but an inflamod condition pc
the mucous surfaces.
Wo will glvo One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused hy catarrh) that can
not;/be curt d by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for
circular*, free.
