of respects, but notably in its nov*i
el method of dealing with viola
tors of the law. There is a court
without oflicers, yet it has fines
and penalties. In this novel court
a person accused of crime within
its jurisdiction, is not only tried
by a jury of the vicinage, but the
whole neighborhood is the jury.
When a member of the community
is charged with the commission of
a crime he is notified to appear at
a certain time and place to be tried
for the offense. The entire neigh
borhood, or as nearly all as prac
ticable, is also notified of the trial.
At the appointed time the neigh
bors repair to the place named as
a court ground, and the trial be
gins. Witnesses are examined, the
defendant is allowed to make a
statement, and everything is con
ducted like a case in a court of
law, except that there are no law
yers. If the accused is found guilty
he is sentenced to pay a line, which
is generally a little less than the
courts would impose in a like case.
If the defendant pays the fine, that
settles the case, and the fine is ap
plied to the maintenance of the
neighborhood school; if the defen
dant refuses to pay ho is handed
over to the law. In most cases the
defendent cheerfully pays the line
assessed, because the case is there
by settled in the neigborhood, he
escapes the publicity of a trial
and possibly saves money in the’
bargain. The system has been in
vogue a number of years, and only
one man has refused to comply
with the and he
took leg bail. The members of the
community say that the system
works admirably, that the school
not only gets the benefit, but that
this manner of sitting in judge
ment on a man’s case has a tine
effect in making members of the
neighborhood law-abiding.
Sick stomach means sick man
(or woman).
Why not be well?
Sick stomach comes from poor
food, poor nourishment; means
health, poor comfort. Shaker Di
gestive Cordial means health and a
well stomach.
If we could examine our stom
ach we would understand why it
is that so little will put it out of
order.
But, unless we are doctors, we
never see our stomach. We only
feel it. We should fell it less if
we took Shaker Digestive Cordial.
Shaker Digestive Cordial makes
your stomach digest all the nour
ishing food you eat, relieves all the
symptoms of indigestion, acts as a
tonic and soon makes you well and
strong again.
1 he more you take, the less you
will feel of your stomach.

I the governments of the United

I Stales. Os the persons who stood
I in the room today, there were
I present when the original treaty
I was signed, Special Commissioner
I Lorin Thurston and Assistant
I Secretaries Adee and Cridler.
I It is very unusual for a treaty of
■ such importance to be signed ear-
I ly in the morning, but in this case
I it was desired that the convention
■be made ready in order that it
I might be submitted to the Senate
■on the day of signature. At 9
L’clock the persons concerned in
1 the treaty were all at the State De
partment. For the United States
there were Secretary Sherman, As
i . .
Blatant Secretaries Day, Adee and
Cridler, private secretary Babcock
and Assistant Private Secretary
Gahtree. On the Hawaiian side
were Minister Hatch, Lorin A.
Thurston and W. A Kinney all
, special commissioners duly empow
ered to negotiate the treaty of an
nexation.
It was twenty minutes after 9
when the treaty was ready for sig
natures. The Hawaiian represen
tatives had brought a gold pen in
a plain holder and at their request
this was used for all the signa
tures. Sherman signed first the
copy intended to be held here
while Minister Hatch signed first
. the Hawaiian copy of the treaty
hii follow commissioners coming
next in order, Thurston first, fol
lowed by Kinney.
The treaties were sealed, copies
were handed to their respective
custodians, and the treaty was
made, as far as the exective branch
( of the government could effect it.
Before the final signature of the
, the secretary of state
was presented with a formal pro-?
test by the Japanese government,
through legation here, against the
> consummation of the agreement.
The protest is understood to be
b r sed on the apprehension that
the special treaties now existing
1 between Japan and Hawaii, under
which the Japanese enjoy advan
tages, will be affected injuriously
! j by the annexation.
The treaty provides that thegov
-1 eminent of the Haawiian Islands
cede to the United States absolute
ly and forever all rights of sover
eignty in and over the Hawaiian
Islands, and its dependencies, and
that these islands shall become an
integral part of the territory of
the United States. The govern
ment of Hawaii also cedes to the
United States all the public lands,
public buildinge and public prop
el ty of every description. Con
gress shall enact special laws to
govern the disposition of the lands
in the islands. All revenue from
these lands shall be used solely
for the benefit of the inhabitants
j of the islands for educational or
public purposes.
The Hawaiian Islands shall be
admitted into the Union as a ter
rirory of the United States, the
local laws to be passed by the lo
' cal legislature, but subject to the
approval of the president. Until
Congress shall apply the laws of
the United States the psesent stat
i utes of Hawaii are to govern . The
1 present treaties and laws govern
ing Hawaii's commercial relations
with foreign countries shall remain
1 in force until Congress shall take
action. The further immigration
o. Chinese laborers is prohibited,
pt nding Congressional action and
the entry of Chinese from Hawaii
j into the United States is likewise
piohibited. The United States as

MODERN WARFARE.
Long Campaigns Will Give
Way to Single but
Decisive En
counters.
| Sum ning up the whole question
;as between any two European
peace-trained armies of the present
day, the extreme percentage of loss
to be anticipated locally, i. e., on
particular brigades and divisions,
I will not exceed one in three (of
i which one is killed to four wound
' ed, whereas for whole armies of a
; quarter of a million and over one
in ten is the very outside punish
! ment we may reasonably expect.
Compared to tiie slaughter of the
i seven-years’ war and the best con
tested fields of the Napoleonic
[period, this is very little, indeed.
I At Zorndorf the Russians left 21-,
i of 52,00 b on the ground,
! and this is undoubtedly the blood
| iest battle recorded since the intro
duction of portable firearms. Ey
lau, Friedland, Wagram and Boro
dino all exceed the figures of any
pitched battle since the breechloa
der appeared in the field.
Moreover, the horror of the whole
thing is not to be measured by fig
ures of percentages only but by the
density in which the killed and
wounded lie, and the fate of the
latter afterward.
In a modern battle 20,C00 men
would fall on an aree of about
twenty square miles; at Zorndrof
the 21,000 Russians and 12,000
Prussians lay on a single square
mile, and of the wounded not one
in three survived; whereas, in
1870, nine out of ten recovered and
the Prussians medical staff antici
pated even better results next
time.
But death on the battlefield is
by far the least of the two evils
the soldier has to face. There is
death on the line of march, and in
hospitals along the road. Where
as formerly, particularly under
Napolean, ten would die by the
way for one who fell in action. In
the last Franco- German war only
one man died of for two
killed in action. Indeed the health
of men in the full prime of life
was actually slightly better in the
field than in quarters.
It may, however, be argued that
even granted that battle and
marches may be less destructive,
there will be more of them, be
cause every able-bodied man being'
trained by war, the insistence will
be more prolonged endurance is
only conceivable under the sup
position that the leaders on both
sides are hopelessly incompetent
and both fear to stake all on a
single collision —a supposition
that nothing tends to justify.
Ou the contrary, every leader
brought up in the modern school
is taught to understand the vul
nerability of all modern military
organizations, and is penetrated
with the conviction that one down
right “knockout” blow effects more
than weeks of purposeless sparring
and where both start determined
to bring matters to a climax the
decision cannot be long delayed-
Judging from what we know of the
relative efficiency of continental
armies, we believe that the first
round of the great encounter will
ako be the last, far the momen
tum of the blow which decides will
simply paralyze every nerve in the
opponent's body, and adding up
all sources of casualties that can
occur in a short campaign of this
description, we conclude that at
! the very worst the actual cost in
human life to the powers engaged
will not amount to more than 5
per cent of their several popula
tions. —Pall Mall Gazette.

L< me of D. W. Curry, m Rome, a
petition for charter has been made
incorporating the new firm uiubr

A SAD EVENT.
Two Sisters Die On The Same
Day And Are Buried
Side By Side.
One of the saddest occurrences in
this section for a long while, was
the burial of two sisters in the
same grave at Coosaville yesterday
afternoon at 1 o’clock.
Monday morning at 4 o’clock
Blanche Hardin, the fourteen year
old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
E. J. Hardin, of this city died
of tiyhoid fever. That night the
bereaved parents received a tele
gram from Trion announcing the
death of their married, daughter
Mrs. Emma Robinson, at 9 o’clock
Monday night. The weight of sor
row crushed them sorely.
Yesterday the two sisters were
laid side by side in the same grave
and they sleep calmly, serenely m
the last long sleep.
Two deaths in the same family,
with the burials occuring at the
same time is an unusual occurence
and one to wring hearts.—Wed

such distinction, calling the race
feeling a prejudice, and speaking
of all men as their brotiiers. Broth

only this race distinction that we
have mentioned, but a physical
distinction as well, which it is im
