OUR TRIP TO PORT ROYAL
On Thursday night of last week we left
on the fast train hound for Port Koval
to witness the docking of the big war
ship “Indiana.”
At August i the train on the Port
Royal road was scheduled to leave at
2 o'c ock a. m., but from some cause
did not leave until 4 a. m., and arrived !
at Port Royal at 9 r. tn.
Shortly after our arrival at Port
Royal il was learned that the big ship j
could not be docked that day on ac
count of low tide. The big ship was
anchored about a mile and a half from
Port Royal anil about the same dis¬
tance from the dry dock at Paris
Island. Paris Island lies about two
miles from Port Royal, and all visitors
took steamers for that point. Paris
Island is about live miles square,and on
this Island is located the drv dock, and
the Naval Station of the United States
government. It was our pleasure to
visit the buildings of the Naval Station
and view the machinery. The United
States government lias already spent
§4,000,000 on this station, and more
work is to be done.
ALvhj th' .2 arri-. •J- <t f'ai Is
Island it was reported that after 1
o’clock that day, that visitors would be
admitted on the big war ship, but only
a favored few were admitted. It was
not our pleasure to he one of the favor¬
ed few, and therefore we did not gel
aboard the big ship, although wc were
carried right to it on a vessel, but were
uotallowed to go aboard. The
vessel is quite a mammoth one and has
T6 guns, and 400 men, is an 18 inch
steel iron clad, is 300 feet in length and
05 feet ni width, and cost the United
States government §4,500,000.
It was a great disappointment to a
great many of the visitors that the big
ship was not docked.
We returned home on Friday night
very much the worse for wear.
Found Buried Treasure.
A treasure of $18,000 in gold and
silver was unearthed by a farmer io
his field six miles from Fort Valley.
Young Green ITailley, who lives on
Ed Houser’s plantation, was plowing
when he came upon a large rock. He
and two other men moyed Lite rock so
as 10 let tke p * ow I ,ass -
^ * lcu a ' J0U ^ resume plowing Halt
ley saw something that looked like the
edge of a stone jat. He eventually
dug up an old earthenware receptacle
containing gold, silver and greenbacks.
The coin amounted to $18,000. The
greenbacks were so badly damaged
that it was impossible to count them.
Hartley was told that half of the
money belonged to the government,
and so he took it to Perry and deposit
ed it with the County Treasurer, who
uow has it.

thoughts. On that old hill was where
we received our last instructions in the

there. She was anout eighty years of

“Why Organization Fails. j*
Under the above heading the Macon
Telcgiaph of March the 2;ul, has a verv
sensible and suggestive editorial. If
one is allowed to criticise so able a pa

not carry the central idea far enough.
or perhaps 1 should say docs not give

men into a false, notion of things. The
individuality of men is not absorbed In

Selfishness is the foe of all unions.
As long as the members are sacrificing
their own interests, for I he good of the

usefulness. This obtains in the very
nature of things, ior lhc seKish man is
weak, and the place exhibits
this spirit always. There is no truer
index to a man’s real strength, than
modesty, than Ihe spirit that prefers
others to himself. Great men are
never conscious of their greatness, hut
they go tinough t!ie world, while
Others are looking upon them with ad
miration and awe, like little children
seeking to learn what they do not
know, and feeling very small and igno¬
rant. Poets do not know they are
poets in the sense the world regards
them, but they sing their sweetest
notes, utterly unconscious of their
marvelous power, ’i he spirit of prefer

all, who enter the societies is one when
once it permeates ihe members, will
bring ruin. All men who seek power

merit is always bashful. The badge of
learning is humility.

the beginning, unselfishness, a spirit
of self-forget fulness, which gives im

Political parties are brought under j
the same rule. Our country will stiller

often referred In, is due to this cause.
The materialistic spirit, controls every
thing. Men are actuated by no higher

love of display, ease and self-in-1
