A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER, PUBLISHED IN THE POLITICAL, SOCIAL AND AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS OF STEWART COUNTY, GEORGIA.
ORIGIN OF THE R ACES.
The idea that all mankind is
distantly related in cousins!.ip. by
descent from Adam and Eve, is
generally accepted throughout
Christendom. But there has aris¬
en an iconoclastic anthropologist
who is ready to argue that all man¬
kind had not the same origin ; that
the preponderance of evidence goes
to show the common origin theory
to be erroneous. This iconoclast,
Prof, W. J. McGee, says, in an ar¬
ticle in Science, that those who
assume mankind to have had a
common origin proceed to explain
ho\v the races differentiated ; but
they derive their explanation, not
from authenticated facts, but as a
corollary drawn from the assump¬
tion.
“The great fact attested by all
observation of human develop¬
ment,” says Prof. McGee, and
which he says is susceptible of
verification in every province and
people, “is that mankind are not
differentiating in either physical or
psychical aspects, but are converg¬
ing, integrating, blending, unify¬
ing, both as organisms and super
organic groups. The 'population
of the world is steadily increasing,
but the number of races is not;
while the number of distinct peo¬
ples is progressively decreasing and
racial boundaries are slowly but
surely' melting away.” Present
conditions, he argues, are in ac¬
cord with the past, so far as histo¬
ry runs, which makes it fair to in¬
fer that the trend was the same in
prehistoric times. Take any race
and study it, Prof. McGee, and it
will be found to have grown out of
the absorption and assimilation of
numerous groups or tribes. Every¬
thing goes to show the coming to¬
gether of peoples, and nothing to
show their divergence. It cannot
be demonstrated, he says, that at
upy period there was such a diver¬
gent movement as would have been
necessary if the whole human race
sprang from one source. All of his
investigations, the Professor says,
indicate to him that the lines of
development of the human race,
when traced backward, diverge to¬
ward different origins rather than
converge toward a common origin.
This theory will, of course, be
warmly contested, since it comes
into conflict with religious teach¬
ings.—Savannah Morning News.
llairy Human Monster.
Suit Lake, Utah, Jan. 28.—Ac¬
cording to the Pocatello, Idaho,
correspondent of The Deseret
News, the residents of the little
town of Chesterfield, located in an
isolated portion of Bannock coun¬
ty, Idaho, are greatly excited over
the appearance in that vicinity of
an eight foot, hair-covered human
monster.
He was first seen on January 14,
when he appeared among a party
of young people, who were skating
on the river near John Gooch’s
ranch.
The creature showed fight, and
flourishing a large club and utter¬
ing a series of yells, started to at¬
tack the skaters, who managed to
reach their wagons and get away
in safety.
Measurements of the tracks
showed the creature’s feet to be 22
inches long and 7 incites broad,
with the imprint of only four
toes.
Stockmen report having seen
his tracks along the range west of
the river.
The people of the neighborhood,
feeling unsafe while the creature
is at large, have sent £0 men on
its track to affect its capture.
Washington, Jan. 27.—The sen¬
ate to-day in executive session re¬
ceived the treaty with Denmark,
transferring the West Indies pos¬
sessions of that country to the
United States. The consideration
to be paid by this country is $5,
000 , 000 .
Loudon, Jan. 27.—A dispatch
from Sofia, Bulgaria, to-day says
the ransom of Miss Ellen M. Stone
and her companion, Mine. Tsilka,
has been paid to the brigands and
that the captives are expected to
^be rel*?ased to-day.

TAME FISH IN A RIVER.
A Traveler’* Story of What He Saw
In Upper Burma.
When in camp the other tiny, I was
riding through it village when the vil¬
lage headman asked me if 1 would like
to see “the fish.” I, not knowing what
the headman meant, at onee went with
him down to the banks of the stream,
followed by several villagers with
baskets of sessanum and paddy mixed
together. Then the thuggl called “Lay,
lay, lay, lay,” for a few moments,
when, lo and behold, a large herd of
ngatwe, or big. short, Uattish fish,
came up just under our feet und were
promptly fed by the Burmaus.
The ilsh were amazingly tame and'
tolerated being stroked and petted
even by me. There were in all about j
thlrty-tlireo from of them, varying in size j
eighteen inches to three and a
half feet long, the larger ones having |
a girth at the gills of about th;rt.v Inch¬
es. They would go away and come
hack whenever they were called.
The villagers told me—and 1 see no
reason to doubt what they say—that
these same fish come up against the
monsoon flood at the end of June and
go away about October every year.
They cun recognize Individual flsh by
murks, scars, etc., which they pointed
out to me.
The Mon Is nearly dry In the cold
and end of the hot weather, and the
fact that these flsh return to this one
village landing stage every year reg¬
ularly and never go to auy other Is
quite worthy of remark. A villager
who kills any of them has to undergo
a penalty of 10 shillings by common
consent, and great care Is In conse¬
quence taken of them.
The ngatwe of upper Burma Is a
very short, thick fish, tapering rapidly
from behind the gills to the tall, has
loug feelers on both uoticefble upper and lower
Up and has no teeth. He
luukcs very good eating and has but
few bones. I liuve often beard of tame
fish in tanks, but u herd of tame fish
In a monsoon rivet connected with the
great Irawadl Is a very bizarre phe¬
nomenon.—Burma Cor. London Field.
ATTACKED BY A HERON.
Boy Trie* to (iipllire the Bird and
Nearly Lours Ills Life.
“I've bunted everything from gray
squirrels to grizzlies,” saiil a veteran
Philadelphia sportsuiun to a writer in
the New York Times, “and the nearest
I ever came to being seriously Injured
by any sort of game was one time
when a wounded bird attacked and
tried to kill me.
“I was a boy then and went down to
q creek that flowed through my father’s
farm to watch for a mink. It was early
In the evening and a blue heron came
and sat within tempting gunshot. I
knew It would spoil my chances at
rnluk to shoot the bird, and I didn’t in¬
tend to do It, but, kldllke, I raised the
gun and took aim just to see how I
could kill It If I would. 1 lowered the
gun and then raised It again. Every
time I raised It l would touch the trig¬
ger gently. After awhile I touched it
too hard, the gun went off and I start¬
ed toward the heron, which was wound
ed.
“I thought it would be a good scheme
to catch the bird and started to do so
when Its bill shot out like a sledge
hammer mid struck me between the
eyes. When I came to my senses, it
was dark, and It was several minutes
longer before I could remember where
I was or what hnil happened, A little
harder and the bird would have killed
me. 1 shudder even yet when I think
what would hare been the result If the
bill had struck one of my eyes.”
Tlie Awn ken I n if.
The meanest man on earth has just
been located, lbs nilml bud been wan¬
dering with fever for three weeks, and
when he came hack to his senses and
opened his eyes he saw a fair face un¬
der a white cap bending over his pil¬
low:
“Who—who are you?” he gasped.
“I’m the trained nurse.”
“The trained nurse! Oh, good Lord!
And how much am I paying you?”
She told him, and he turned his head,
groaning iu the soreness of his afflic¬
tion. A few moments Inter, though, his
face lit up with a flash of hope. “But
I'm back In my right mind now,
ain’t I?”
‘‘Why, yes; I think you are.”
“All right, then,” with fierce exulta¬
tion. “I give you notice for tonight!”—
New York Commercial Advertiser,
Origin of Onr Secret Service.
The United States secret service had
Its origin In the early sixties under the
auspices of the war department. It ac¬
tually grew out of the fact, of Captain
Lafayette F. Baker of the Union army
offering his services to Secretary Sew¬
ard as a police scout to gnther Informa¬
tion concerning the Confederate army.
During the wur the United States be¬
gan the issuance of greenbacks. Then
came the first appearance of “green
goods” men. By an act of congress In
1801 or 1862 $10,000 was appropriated
for the maintenance of Baker’s service
to suppress counterfeiting. The super¬
vision of the service was then under
the solicitor of the treasury. — New
York Tribune.

“Your work bears the closest kind of
Inspection,” remarked the girl with the
ttmple. “What Infinite pains you must
take with it!”
“Perhaps,” replied the artist; “but,
do you know, I enjoy the pains.”
“Then,” she rejoined, with a bright
smile, “you, too, pursue art for art’s
ache.”—Chicago Tribjnne.
A Compromise.
