Got Caught In
Their Own Net.
Well, the Herald and The Ma
con News can both point to the
impending row over the sena
torial short term nomination -
the inevitable result of the coun
ty unit plan and the rules pre
scribed by the state democratic
committee for applying it—anil
say, “1 told you so!” So far as
we can now recall, the Herald
and its esteemed Macon after
noon contemporary were the on
ly daily papers in the state that
took a positive stand against the
county unit system in the pri
mary and to point out the oppor
tunity that would he given for
trading and thimble-rigging in
the convention of delegates. It
is a significant fact, too, border
ing on retributive justice, that
the leaders of the very element
which dictated the county unit
plan and the rules for its appli
cation are first to invoke the im
plied fairness of the plurality rule
under the direct popular vote
system. —Albany Herald.
Injured by Dynamite.
Americas, Aug. 25. —Allen
Johnson, of Americus, was prob
ably fatally injured this after
noon by an explosion of a charge
of dynamite in a steel well casing
which he was boring. The dy-!

well as quickly as Johnson
thought it should and was with-:
drawn, only to explode as it]
reached the surface.
Hundreds of steel fragments j
were hurled in all directions, sev-■
eral striking Johnson and cutting
his right side open entirely.
Other fragments of steel cut
through the dwelling house like
shrapnel.

A Forlorn Hope.
In the welter of a general
European war the fate of the
little independent state of Lux
emburg has been for the moment]
I forgotten. That a time will
j come when Luxemburg will as
sume considerable importance is
by no means unlikely. For Lux
emburg, whose neutrality, in
tegrity and independence were
guaranteed by the treaty of Lon
don in 1867, was the first land to
be invaded by the German
| armies. An attempt to treat
neutralized Belgium with the
same indignity precipitated the;
great battle of Liege, the issue
i of which is even yet uncertain.
The sovereign of Luxemburg
is Grand Duchess Marie Adelaide,
a beautiful girl of 20 years. At.
. ; the approach of the Germans she
hastened to the frontier in her
i automobile, and placing it across
; the highway, attempted to bar
. the advance of the army. She
was given gentle words, but
scant consideration. The auto
, mobile was removed, and the
Luxemburg army, which stood
ranged behind its sovereign,
evaporated. The army, by the
way, numbers 250 men, less than
half as large as the police force
of Cleveland.
Luxemburg, which was for
merly a member of the Germanic
1 confederation, is one of the small
states which will undoubtedly be
come a part of Germany if the
Kaiser’s armies are victorious.
It is now completely in German
possession, the occupation having
been effected with no difficulty
, beyond that offered by the gir
in the automobile. Its people,
like those of Alsace, are mostly
of German blood, but they have
no desire to lose their indepen
dence, and would look upon such
an outcome as a catastrophe.
Meanwhile the girl ruler is one
of the forlorn spectacles of the
war. She is threatened with no
personal harm, but the ruthless!
appropriation of her domain and I
the threat of its extinction may
well evoke a little sympathy even
in this time of greater tragedies.

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, AUG.. 27, 1914.
A Brave Boy Soldier.
“One of the bravest acts I
witnessed during the whole war, ”
said an officer of the army of
Northern Virginia, “was that of
a young soldier, who was prob
ably not over 16 years old. We
had thought of him as only a boy,
although he went with the regi
ment on all of its marches, and
. lived with it in all its encamp
ments.
“One day there was a fierce
engagement. In the midst of it
a bullet struck this boy in the
breast and he fell. Our colonel
ordered his men to dismount, and
as he himself sprung from his
horse, the boy called out in a
weak voice, 'I will hold your
horse, colonel!’
‘ ‘Stopping in the midst of the
storm of bullets to gaze in pity
on Jffie white, boyish face, the
colonel said, ‘But you can’t do
that, lad—you are dying.’
‘I know I am, colonel,’ the
gallant boy replied. ‘But I can
hold the reins when I am dead.’
“The colonel placed the bridle
in the trembling hands, and went
forward. When the fight was
over he hurried back and found
the boy lying dead, the bridle
reins still wrapper tightly round
his limp right hand.”
Thought It Fit.
A prominent citizen died, and
a member of the family went to
the local newspaper office to read
the proof of the obituary notice.
There was the usual rer ark
about the deceased being ‘‘taken
to his last resting place,” but by
one of those typographical fatal
ities which occur in every news
p iper shop, the word which had
been written appeared
in the proof as “roasting.”
The member of the family was
scandalized. “Look here,” he
shouted, “this has got to be cor
rected.”
“Oh, I don’t know,” murmur
ed the editor. “He was three
years behind with his subscrip
tion. I guess I’ll let it stand as it
is in the proof.”

Notice to the Voters of
Mantgomery Courty.
Massmeeting Called.
To the Voters of Montgomery
County:
Owing to the fact that there
is dissatisfaction in the appoint
ment of delegates to the State
Convention, it being generally
known that the delegates now'
appointed by the Executive Com
mittee did riot support the parties
who carried the county in the re
cent primary. The citizens of
the county do urge you to meet
in mass meeting at the court
house in Mt. Vernon on Satur
day, August 29th, at ten o’clock
a. m., for the purpose of having
delegates appointed who suppos
ed the candidates that carried
the county. As it is a well known
fact that Felder who carried the
county for the short term sena
torship will not have any repre
sentation in the State Convention
from this county as the matter
now stands.
The Last Straw.
One day a Scottish bov and an
English boy who were fighting
were separated by their respec
tive mothers with difficulty, the
Scottish boy, though the small' r,
being far the most pugnacious,
relates Tit-Bits.
“What garred ye ficht a big
laddie like that far?” said the
mother, as she wiped the blood
from his nose.
“And I’ll fight him again,”
said the boy, “if he says Scots
men wear kilts because their ft- !t
are too big to get into thi ir
trousers.”
