Barrow County Bill
Passed By House.
Atlanta, Ga., July 11.-The,
bill creating the new county of
Harrow, to be made up of sec
tions of Walton, Gwinnett and
Jackson, with Winder as the
county seat, passed the House to
day by a vote of 136 to 35.
The measure came from the
Constitutional AmendmentsCom
mitte with a unanimous recom
mendation for its passage, but it
was not put through the House
until after a genuine display had
been indulged in.
The fight against Harrow was
led by Hardeman, of o offer son,
who attacked it by oving to
postpone action upon it until next
session. Had that motion pre
vailed, the bill would have been
killed, beyond hope of resurrec
tion.
Harrow County has been look
ed upon generally as apt to win
out. It has been before the Leg
islature before, and many mem
bers who voted for it today ex
plained their votes by saying that
they voted upon the merits of the
proposition entirely, which wen
evident enough to the Constitu
tional Amendments Committee
to get a unanimous favorable re
port therefrom.
The impression is that Barrow
will pass the Senate and go to
the people for ratification in tin
next general election.
U. S. Now Is Fourth
In Naval Strength.
Washington, July 15.—The Uni
ted States is now occupying
fourth place among the navies of
the world and not third, as is
generally supposed.
The real loss of prestige to the
navy by reason of the failure to
keep up the naval construction
program is shown ver> clearly in
Brassey’s Manual, whose rating
of the nations was discussed gen
erally today by officers at the
Navy I feparf im-nt.
Rear Admiral Bradley Fiske,
chief of staff of Secretary Dan
iels, pointed out the real com
parative strength of the nations
as shown by Brassey’s figures, as
follows:
England 21>, Germany lit,
France 17, United States 13. Ja

Says Kiss a Girl
If She Dares You.
Washington, July 15. It is not
wrong to kiss a pretty girl with
whom you are associated in the
government service, provided
tin- aforesaid girl purses her ru
hv lips and utters a defi. This
was laid down in the case of
Frank D. Hester, a chief of sec
tion, who was accused of the
oscillatory diversion during office
hours.
Gaylord M. Saltrabe**, pension
commissioner, suspended Mr,
Hester upon hearing of the affair
and undertook an investigation.
After unwinding many yards of
red tape and going into the affair
from all angles, the commission
er discovered that the young
woman had "dared” Hester’s
evidence of affection.
‘ Hester wa therefore reinsta
ted. Today he is back at his
disk. The young woman, who
was a temporary clerk, and
whose name was carefully con
cealed, has left the pension office
service.
Acid In Oconee Kills
10,000 Pounds Os Fish.
Athens, July 13. Judge Brand
has issued a temporary injunc
tion restraining the Empire
Chemical Company from pouring
waste acid in a branch that
empties into the Oconee River, a
few miles below Athens. Ten
thousand pounds of dead fish
have been taken from the river.
People living along the banks find
the odors almost unltearable.
State Game Warden. Jesse Mer
cer has been summoned to inves
tigate.
The temporary injunction will
hold until July 26, when a hear
ing will be given the company.
The Antisocial Newspaper.
It is hard to put yourself back
in imagination into the condition |
of things before the newspaper
existed. Take a country village,
or a small provincial town, or
even a large city, three hundred
years ago. The isolation of the
inhabitants was complete. Even
|of what was going on at their
ow n doors they could have only a
limited and most imperfect
knowledge. The outer world
simply could not come to them at
all. The facts of political or so
cial progress, the great achieve
ments of industry, the history
and character of public men, even
events like war or great disasters
that shook the framework of so
ciety were spread only hy the
slow' process of lip to lip convey
ance, or perhaps not until they
were staled in the cold pages of
: historical record.
Now the newspaper binds the
whole world together, brings
Europe and Asia to your break
fast-table, makes the speech and
garb and gesture of heroes and
leaders as familiar as those of a
; friend or relative, As between
community and community, there
is no seclusion, there is no pri
vacy any more.
But it is curious to reflect on
the exactly opposite truth, that
although the newspaper tends to
unite communities, it tends to
separate individuals. In former
days the only w'ay a man could
learn anything of what, was go
ing on in the world w'as to go out
among his fellows, to make large
acquaintance, to keep in contact
with as many sorts of souls as he
possibly could. Now the easiest
way to learn what is going on in
the world is to stay at home.
Two neighbors sit beside each
other in the car, and instead of
talking eagerly about public af
fairs, they extinguish themselves
behind their newspapers. A man
sta s in his office all day and sells
shoes and talks of shoes, and at
night sits down by the fire with
his newspaper.
But the twentieth century,
which is to change so many
things, will perhaps change that
also. There are signs that men
are beginning to feel more the
need of other men—a need that
printers’ ink can never satisfy.—
Youth’s Companion.
George Brown’s Office Boy.
George Brown writes the edi
torials and attends to the "ex
change” work of a big metropo
litan daily newspaper, all of
which compels him to read oceans
of other papers. It was his habit
to send his office boy to the post
office every day to drag back a
tremendous bundle of papers,
says the New York Evening Post.
One day the boy, who was red
headed and high-tempered, re
ceived his bundle in the corridor
! of the postoffice, cut the strings,
j and scattered the newspapers in
wild confusion all over the floor.
After that he ran wild among
them, kicking them and slapping
them about.
An official of the postoffice call
ed up Brown’s office with the
purpose of informing him that he
had sent a crazy boy to the office,
and that the hoy had scattered
the papers all over the building.
Brown was not in when the call
was made, but later the official of
the postoffice informed him that,
when remonstrance was made to
the boy. he exclaimed wildly:
"That fool gets too many pa
pers, anyway! I’m onto hini.
I’m the only t>erson on the news
paper that knows he don’t read
half of ,em.”

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, JULY IT 1013
No Sense In Either.
Two men entered a train at a
small station out West, and took
seats facing an elderly gentle
man. They fell to telling hunt
ing stories with great animation
and many oaths.
Noticing that the old gentle
man was an interested listener,
one of the men spoke to him and
asked whether he, too, were not
a hunter, with a story or two
worth hearing.
The old gentleman thought he
could tell one, and this is what he
said:
"One day I thought I would go
hunting: so I took my tin-pan
tinder-box gun and went up into
a tin-pan tinder-box woods on the
side of a tin-pan tinder-box moun
tain, and I waited a tin-pan tin
der-box long time: and then I
saw a tin-pan tinder-box fine
buck coming toward me, so I put
my old tin-pan tinder-box gun to
my shoulder, and fired. And
that tin-pan tinder-box buck fell
right in its tin-pan tinder-box
tracks; and it was the finest tin
pan tinder-box buck I ever kill
[ed.” After a oause, he said,
"How do you like my story?”
"Oh, the story is all right, but
I don’t see what all that ‘tin-pan
tinder-box' has to do with it.”
“Well,” replied the c'd gentle
man, "that is just m> -ay of
swearing. ”
"I don’t see much sense in
swearing that way,” said the
other, with manifest disgust.
To which the old gentleman
responded, “There is as much
sense in my way of swearing as
there is in yours, young man.”
Children’s Teetli
Need Attention.
Just as much as grown-ups.
Too many parents are careless
about the teeth of their children.
Oft times a simple filling would
save the expense and trouble of
a gold crown, or a bridge, and
prolong the life of the natural
teeth many years if attended to
in time.
