PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY. OfflCiAL ORGAN MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
Entered at the post-office in Mt. Vernon. <ia. as Second-Class Mail Matter.

Mount Vernon. Ga.. Thursday Morning, MAR. 14, 1912.
We favor an international law
that will prevent the seizing, on
the same day, of the north arid
south poles by two gangs of pole
pirates.
Montgomery county friends
will learn with interest that Col.
C. W. Sparks has entered the
race for representative in Toombs
county.
And the rains descended and
the floods came until the March
winds were stilled and the cotton |
acreage soaked hevond any fear
of over production.
Dublin is coming to the front
as a convention stamping ground.
Dublin has all the requirements
of a convention city—pluck, en
ergy and good looks.
In a recent lecture, Booker
Washington dedans that real)
work is good for his race. Some
one has suggested that it is also
good for white folks. But we
are not prone to experiment.
It is announced as “practically
certain” that Dick Russell will
again run for governor. Plain
Dick and Billie Bryan we have
with us always, but it would
seem lonesome now wit hout them.
Several of the state military
companies are disbanding, evi
dently the boys do not contem
plate the election of Teddy Roose
velt as president, and think that
the prospect for scraps is dimin
ishing in consequence.
Old Diogenes would have to fill
his lamp several times if he un
dertook to tramp over this coun
try till he found a man who was
honestly trying to serve his fel
low men without a thought of
feathering his own nest.
The poor showing made by our
shipping, when numbers are
compared with those of ot her na
tions, would indicate that we
must build a few boats to get
anything but glory out of the
traffic through the Panama canal.
The man who will discover a
plan to accomplish county, state
and national reforms, by some
other means than the tortuous
and rotten round of politics, will
earn the honors that were denied
Christopher Columbus when he
found a new world.
With the Hon. John M. Slaton
and Hon. Thomas G. Hudson now
squarely in the race for govern
or, with Hon. Joe Hill Hall, al
ready in the running, dropping
constitutional bombs from his
aeroplane, we may not find the
summer so dull after all.
We are no longer in the old
Eleventh Congressional District,
but must say in all sine rity that
we learn with regret of Congress
man W. G. Brantley’s determin
ation to retire from public life. ]
His retirement is a distinct loss,
not only to Georgia, but to the I
whole South. He goes out with
the highest regard of his oonstit-!
uents, and Georgia may call him
again and to a higher place.
No Race Suicide Here.
In a recent editorial the Savan
nah News said:
”A count of noses in and
around Columbus, 0., shows that
the stork has not been neglecting
its business in that city. There
are several hundred families in
which there are ten children and
more than a dozen in which there
are fifteen. People who are in
terested in big families, by the
way. ought to go into the moun
tains of Georgia and Tennessee.
Up there they raise ’em like
rungs to a ladder and the ladder
will reach to the eaves.”

Valdosta Times: -A Texas man
planted his cotton in January
with the hope of getting the first
bale. It is probable that a “nor
ther” some time in March will
make it necessary for him to
plant again.
Dublin Courier-Dispatch:—Do
not plant a great deal of cotton
because you believe your neigh
i>or will reduce his. He may be
thinking as you do, and a big ac
reage in cotton this year will
bankrupt the South.
Savannah Press: —Out in the
state of Washington they have a
Roosevelt Club composed of wo
men voters. It would be too bad
to have the fair sex beat the gal
lant Taft.
Americus Times-Recorder:
Brantley is opposed to the radi
calism that presents all sorts of
untried remedies for present
evils. The Georgian thinks be
fore he talks. Most of the radi
cals shout and never think.
Clinch County News: —When-
ever you see places chocked full
of cussed loafers all the time, it’s
a pretty good sign that that bus
iness is going to the dogs.—The
loafers are the hound puppies.
Washington Gazette-Chronicle:
“Coffee Advancing a Cent a
Pound,” “Meat Advances,”
“Corn Climbing to the Dollar
Mark,” and then, “Another
Slump in Cotton,” are getting
too common. This kind of dope
brings the high-cost-of-living
proposition “face to face” with
our Southern farmers. It’s up
to you, Mr. Farmer, to diversify.
Waycross Herald:—The editor
of the Herald projioses to vote
for Underwood of Alabama for
president if he has an opportuni
ty to do so. Rufe Hutchens is his
manager in this state, and that
iz. one of the several reasons why
we will support Mr. Underwood.
Atlanta Constitution:—Great
sympathy is expressed for the
London shopkeepers whose win
ows were smashed by the suffra- 1
gettes, but think of the jailers
whose guests they will be for|
two stormy months.
Warren ton Clipper:—We farm- j
ers can’t help feeling somewhat
'restless on cacount of so much;
rain, but if we will keep busy at
work it will all work out for the
best.
Darien Gazette:—The present)
legislature has an opportunity to j
redeem itself. Let the solons!
give us biennial sessions and bet- J
ter tax laws two great reforms
■ needed.
Nashville Herald: — Berrien |
county jKilitics are at white heat.
The primary will be held next
Thursday. Three thousand votes
will Ik* pulled and some of the
candidates will not get all of
them.
Pembroke Enterprise:—Sena
tor Bacon, (from Bryan county,
Ga., ) seems to be getting in the
limelight at the national capital,
and is being accused of juggling
with the future plans of some
statesman. Just the same, he
[ stands a good show of being a
Democratic president some day.
; Savannah News:—This is one
campaign in which the voters
. seem to Ik* content to sit on the
, fence and see the politicians hop
from one side to the other.
M aeon Telegraph Great Scott
- and Amundsen! Are we to have
. a repetition of the Peary-Cook
.* controversy? The Ananias Club
r is going to be an overworked or
' ganization this year.
THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1912.
(confederate dead
TO BE HONORED
Would Build a Monument
In Memory of Our
Sacred Dead.
Upon the dead ashes, but in
the resurrected and immortal
; spirit of the Old South we have
built a new empire, the New-
South, great, powerful, rich; but
not so glorious as was the Old.
That were impossible.
No country, laid to waste and
depopulated as was the Old South,
ever recovered so rapidly from
the shock of war as it did. And
i the speed with which this re
covery was accomplished was due
to the survivors of that bloody 1
struggle and the spirit of hope
fulness that characterized their
every act, during and after the
war. To these heroes yet living
and their comrades in arms de
parted, all honor and praise.
The hand of time is relentlessly
passing around the dial of every
life, and, gradually, one by one,
these old heroes are passing from
among us, Soon only the memory
of them is all that will be left to
us, but this we can honor,
reverence, love, for it will be
our rich heritage, bequeathed by
the bravest and most chivalrous
soldiers of all time.
The loyalty of the soldiers of
Caesar, Hannibal, Alexander and
Napoleon are but studies when
compared to the loyalty of the
soldiers of Lee, Jackson, John
son and Gordon. To these pri
vates who fought in the ranks
we owe much and the least we
can do for them is to remember
and raise a shaft as a symbol of
our remembrance.
In a number of the counties in
the state and throughout the
South, on the Court House square
there is a monument to the
memory of the soldiers of the
Old South. Are the citizens of
Montgomery County less appre
ciative of what these heroes |
sacrificed than are the citizens of
others counties? Surely they are
not. Unless we arc let us raise
a monument to the memory of
the soldiers who went from our
county to fight our battles for us.
We can do it. We have only to
settle upon the best plan of rais
ing the necessary funds, work at
it and the thing will he done,
easily and without any great ef
fort or burden on anyone. What
little I can do toward accom
plishing this I am willing and
will deem it a privilege to do.
H. W. Evans.
COTTON SEASON NOT
j CLOSED AT AMERICUS
46,000 Bales Received at that
Market Up to Present.
Americus’ warehouse receipts
of wagon cotton to yesterday,
! March 1, reached the I(S,(XX) bale
; mark, and the end is not yet in
i sight, as considerable cotton re
! mains in fields in this vicinity to
jbe marketed. The 46,000 bales
already received at Americus
j warehouses is all wagon cotton,
sold here and the proceeds circu
! lated here:
Such heavy warehouse receipts
to March Ist have surpassed ex
pectations, as well as broken all
, records in local cotton circles by
at least 8,000 bales over any pre
vious receipts. That another
i thousand bales, at least, will yet
ibe added to the season’s total is
' pretty well assured, as there re
mains upon plantations and in the
: fields a considerable quantity of
■ cotton yet to be marketed.
■ j A total of 47,000 bales a month
1 hence by which time all cotton
remaining upon plantations will
• 1 be brought in, will serve to put
* Americus in the front ranks of
‘ interior cotton markets from the
’ standpoint of wagon receipts.
