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-! namite did not explode in the 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. Protracted Meeting. Kev. J. H.

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. —Cleveland Plain Dealer SEED OATS FOR SALE. 1 have for sale 800 bushels of Choice Rust-Proof Seed Oafs.

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.” Farm for Sale.

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.” New Road Notice. ; State of Georgia, / i Montgomery County. \ Office of !
