Editor and Publisher Pbbbt Thursday, June 1. Ex-President Diaz and family,of Mexico, have gone to Cuba. A THU., to reduce the tariff on wool will be introduced in the House of Representatives this week. The first paper-making machine in t ho United States was made and operated in Pennsylvania in 1820, by Thomas Gilpin. In the legislature this summer a hill will be introduced asking for an appropriation to assist the State Agri cultural Society in holding tho state fair, i It has beeu announced that the proposed electric railroad from M^con to Atlanta will certainly he construct- <d, and that the work will begin with in a very few months. "A democratic principle, a repub lican conversion,” is the designation Hon. D. M. Hughes of tho Third con gressional district of Georgia gives to Hie reciprocity agreement with Cana da. The good roads movement will surely cause the establishment of a designated highway between all tho iiiq-ortant cities and towns in Georgia. In many instances it will be neces sary for private funds to be contribu ted. 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, “The Wyoming,” was launchod at Kiiigstou, near Philadelphia last Thursday, aud within tho next sovei- a* months will bo a flagship and tho most powerful ship of the United Stales ua\y. Another of tho same size and strength is in couiso of con struction. It is estimated that 581,091 auto mobiles arc in use in tho Unitod Stales, New York lending l,ho list of states with 70,000. Tho smallest number in any state is 750, in Idaho. Jn Georgia there are 7,000 cars in use. This information is furnished b) the Auto Directories Co., aud we believe tho number accredited * to Geoigia is too small. *>■ « 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. Electric Light Eleetion Notice. To the qualified voters ♦ f the City of Perry !

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- —7-pioce Kitchen Sets, Best Steel. Sims & Nunn’s. HAY FOR SALE.
