Says a rural editor: Owing

urns a number of birth’s ami
deaths are unavoidably postponed

A young Indy of this city, says

A good deal has been said lately
about selling the state road, No,
never sell it, it is a good invest¬
ment, pays a fair dividend, and
furnishes the state a nice little in-
comooach year. Were the road
sold tho legislature would SOOll
give the money awuy and we would
have nothing except pleasant re-
collections of bygone days, Ratter
invert more in railroads than give
this away.—Senoia Enterprise.
There is a striking similarity lie-
tweuu the El her la and a girl, both
are beautiful, at I motive and desir¬
able. In some respects, however,
they are very ditfereiit. D the

decomposition sets in and it is
worthless. Not so with the girl.

she is 45 and is still ready—and
willing—to be used.—Commerce

According to the Japanese be¬
lief (he sailors who committed
hara-kari when the Russians at¬
tacked the merchantman llitochi
Maru are now at peace with the
gods. To be killed by the foe with¬
out resisting him is the height of
dishonor in Japan, But. he who
commits hara-kari r it her t han
full into the hands of tho enemy
is looked upon as a god and the
devout believe that his spirit will
hover over and aid the soldiers
and sailors of his countrv.

flv their dnsl Courage ami
straight, shooting on land and sea,
tho Japanese have broken all war
roco rds. Their utter disregard
life ami death discounts all prece¬
dents They Imv* assaulted posi¬
tion after ’ i- timi aril math sue-
rifici s of life that no ancient or
modern commanders »f any other
nation would have made. They
have assaulted positions supposed
ho impregi able and w <. but
fearful cost.
A story is told of Nan Shan
Hill, which if true, has no pnral-
Id in history. The Ruisinus occu-
pied a posit ion which was thought
he utterly impregnable. On the
crest of the lull they were power-
fully intrenched. Tho approach' h
were s wept with batteries if rapid-
lire guns, as well ns by a wall of

knew the situat ion. A thousand
volunteers were called for, logo
forward with instruments to cut
the barbed wire. A thousand men
responded and went forward. Not
one Of them returned. The last
fell , ,, under , galling lire, „ , but
mun a,
not until some progress had ,
made cutting the barbed , wire.
in
Ancther , t liousand , , men were called ,, ,
f„r and tho ivns
ate. They went forward and nev¬
er came back. The lust trail was
killed while ho was cut ting t he
barbed wile. A third thoumt d
went forward* to the same death,
and a fourth, lint each time in-
roads wi re made upon tho barbed
wire, and at last it was nearly
e'earod away, A general charge
followed and after desperate light¬
ing tho Russian position was cap¬
ture I.
The Japanese have no national
religion. It is must probable that
tho great mass of them have no
belief in a future life. This fact
muki's more remarkable th*'ir
seeming utter disregard of diuith.
I'.itriotisni is t! i * * i r religion. Their
battle cry is an exaltation of their
ruler.
Another remarkable thing about
these wonderful people is that
there seems to lie no foes nt home.
They are united thoroughly and
Compactly. There are no bicker¬
ings among tho exalted, or the
iuwly. There aro no mischief
makers or bomb throwers in tin*
rear of their armies. No one scut¬
tles their ships.
Soon after the war broke out
some Russian students sent con¬
gratulations to the Mikado on a
victory won by his troops, lie ac¬
knowledged thecompliment to his
soldiery, but he added his thanks
to .the Almighty Power, that he
had no such disloyal subjects in
his kingdom as these stud* nts.
These little brown men—barba¬
rians ns (lie Russians cal I them—
at least not Christians—have set
a new standard of heroism. They
have made new precedents, new
records, in the arts of war. They
have exalted patriotism. They
have made an epoch in the history
of the world which prove the sha¬
ping of a new force and power to
he reckoned with all around tin*
globe. It is impossible to foretell
what new history is to he written
as a result of this sudden and un¬
expected evolution of power, bill
it is certain that it w ill change Hie
currents of international life nod
diplomacy. A now world-power
has arisen out of a limited area in
the isle of til*' sea. It Inis come.
It has cmio like magic, but more
real.it. has , ome to stay. Tin*
Mikado, until now the butt of op¬
era botiffe, is the successful ruler
of a great peop’e.

But to pursue this thought fur-
tli -r would be to go deeper into
speculation of the future than it
is our province to do.
A bill introduced by

A writer in tho Now York
ald vigorously champions tho
of tho oyster, maintaining
that he was never responsible for
a case of tvphoip fever.
This is especially kind in view
of the fact that the oyster has Bl¬
ways shown great hesitation about
speaking for himself,
The Brazil Democrat suggests
that as this is to he a sort of Til-
den and Hendricks campaign it
would add to tho general enthnsi-
it all those living , who , voted , ,

for that famous ticket should or-
grttuzo clubs in their respective
communities. It is a good sugges-
lion. Move itnlong.
For the first mouth and a half
of the fiscal year tho deficit in
the Federal treasury is only $21,-
424, 907. Receipts keep falling
off and expenditures artf increas¬
ing. AsCoporal Tanner cheerfully
observed when President Clove-
laud was defeated after his first
term, “God help the surplus ! ’»

efforts of the Democrats to carry
Maiuo and Vermont and Pennsyl¬
vania, but wltui about Indiana
and Now Jersey und Connecticut,
where there ,, is ivally n a chance . of ,
J
getting some votes. It may be
amusing to chase political suit-
l)"itms, but. we a"e net in this con-
test against Roosevelt for I ho fun

The following timely reminder
i is from lhe Savi nna Morning
I News: “The time for opening the
Georgia State Fair is rapidly ap¬
proaching and if the highest bene¬
fits are to be obtained the differ¬
ent counties must begin putting
forth every effort in preparing
their exhibits. 'The splmded ag¬
ricultural showing made last year
attracted widespread attention
and seems to have accomplished
much for Georgia. A united ef¬
fort can make the display in this
line tins year even better than
that of last. ”
The Pension Bill
Nearly forty years have elapse !
smee-the civil war audit would
seiin that sufficient time laid e-
lapsed to cause a diminution in
the pensioh bill growing out of
the civil war. On the contrary it
increases. Conimuiuler-iu-Ghief
Black in his annual report to the
Grand Army of the republic sub¬
mits that 47,878 new names have
been added to tlm roll in 1904 and
19, 15(5 taken off, but notwith¬
standing thisdeooaso in members,
the bill has risen to $14-1,912,687,
as against $141,752,870 in 1903.
Thus it is evident it will be
many a \":ar before there shall b*
much reduction, for the pirn now
is to pay all veterans over f>2 years
suffering from disability fiat pen¬
sions of $6 and 12 a month. In
addition are the pensioners of tie
Cuban, Philippine and Chinese
wars, and tln'sewill hold the rolls
n very long t ime. This o r der has
already boon made by the pensioh
.sommissio mr, thougli it awaits
the ratification of congress, and
the record shows that that body
|nes not turn d.nvn many prop**-
tending to swell 'the pen- j
ion charge on the treasurer)*.— |
