The first paper-making machine in

"A democratic principle, a repub

The good roads movement will
surely cause the establishment of a
designated highway between all tho

In many instances it will be neces

An increase of 4.8 per cent in the
total cotton acreage is estimated from
the reports received by the Memphis
Commercial Appeal. In figures those
reports indicate an increase of 35,*
000,000 acres. Conditions were re
ported favorable.
The largest warship in the world,

It is estimated that 581,091 auto

Jn Georgia there are 7,000 cars in

The farmers’ bulletins issued by
the Federal Deportment, of Agricul
ture will be Font, free to any citizen of
of the United States who will apply
to his Representative or Senator.
These bulletins treat of almost every
subject of practical interest to farmers,
and many of them give especially val
uable information. A list, of these
bulletins will be furnished on re
quest.
Quite recently tho Macon Board
ef Trade made an effort to secure tho
removal of the Uncle Remus Mag t- (
zine plant to the Ceutial City. Tho
"Atlanta Spirit” intervened, however,
and Mr. Frederick Faliram, an Eng
lishman who has attained a big repu
tation in Magazine management in
this country, has been made president
of the company, and with increased
capital this southern magazine has
taken a new lease ot life and its home
will continue to be in Atlanta.
While the express agent at Perry
is as efficient and accommodating as
any who ever served long-suffering
people, the'service afforded by the
Southern Express Company and the
Central Railway Co. jointly is alto
gether abominable.
Express forwarded from Perry at
6:30 p. m.*does not reach Macon until
after 4 o'clock next afternoon.
Should any person carry a package
to the depot at 7:20 a. ra., to be sent
by express, it will not go further than
Fort Valleyjuntil after 3 o’clock p. m.
Express coming from any point
above or below Fort Valley must
stay in that city until 5:30 p. m., no
matter on what train it arrives.
Express for Perry cannot come
from Macon on the train that leaves
that city at 4 p.'m.
Express canuot go direct to any
point except Fort Valley.
No matter when express leaves
1 Perry, it must remain at Fort Valley
at least 4 1-2 hours. If it leaves
Perry, for Macon, at 6:30 p. m., it
stays in Fort Valley about 18 hours.
Leaving Perry tor Macon at 7:40
a. m., it stays in Fort Valley at least
7 hours.
A wagon line would give almost as
prompt service.
The case has been presented to the
stats railroad commission through a
letter from the secretary of tho Perry
Board ot Trade.
This miserable express service.is as
hurtful and inconvenient to the mer
thants of Macon as it is to tho jlbople
of Porry, and tho Chamber of Com
merce of that city should use its efforts
to abate the evil.
It is well to stato here, however,
that while in Macon last Friday tho
Home Journal editor reported the
matter to ah official who promised to
relieve the intolerable situation, if
possible.
Beyond doubt the express and" rail
road transportation authorities are vi
olating the spirit of law, if not the let
ter, in thus giving our people such
miserable service.

CONSISTENCY IN POLITICS.
We regret to say that the conclusion
has been reached that consistency in
politics is a rare virtue.
At seems that to politicians the
right or wrong of it is determined by
the view point. To tho victor it is
right to appropriate the spoils, to tho
defeated it is wrong.
At this distance it seemed that a
primary for senator was wanted in
order that a certain alleged candidate
might be defeated. By others a pri
mary was not wanted, because they
feared that thereby the same alleged
candidate would be debated.
Both factious believe, in our opin
ion, that the legislature will elect that
'same alleged candidate to the Senate.
If it occurs as one faction fears and
tho other hopes, the primary will still
be a factor, because it will be neces
sary to elect a governor to succeed one
who will have barely assnmed the
duties of' the position ’ to which the
/voters of Georgia elected him.
To one sot of men. all this, if it so
transpires, will be right; to the other
set it will all bo wrong.
I 'J o this wlifer it. seems well that the
pr.hnaiy wa« not ordered; that the
circuuisianc.s did not justify the ex
1 fonso.
I On the olker hand, the conviction
is strong that a governor elected
s-pt-cificially because of the views he
entertained concerning state govern-
'merit, would not be justified in resign
ing the go« eruorship on its threshold
to accept an election to the United
Suites ouiate. Such procedure would
eman the same political turmoil
expense that his partisan friends
is undesirab'o and unnecessary.
So it seems in this case that the
right or vviong of it is determined by
tiio View poim, and that neither con
tention is based on consistency,
t In congress we see the same condi
tion. The democrats are using.prac-
tically the same methods they' con
demned tiie republicans for using
when that party controlled the House
of Representatives. Likewise the re
publicans are condemning the demo-
