Did vou ever go to mill?—Moultrie Observer, No; never could get corn enough at one time for an honest miller’s toll. The newspaper man who uses the cover of his dirty little sheet to cuss out his neighbor, friend or congress¬ man is a coward. Some of our immediate farmers report very poor crops, but the ma jority think a fairly average crop will be gathered. Just as wo alwavs thought, young John Davis is tho editor of tho Al¬ bany Bonny Press, He is quite young but a brilliant writer. Success to you, John. Ohief Arthur B. Cononliy of tho Atlanta police force is dead! His remains were buried in Atlanta last Sunday. A better husband, father, iiietid or officer never lived. In tho death of Rev. J VV. Burke the Methodist church South loses one of her brightest light-, the State of <leorgia one of her most illust rious sons, and many an old time printer a true and tried friend. God rest and keep his soul. Up goes wheat and meat and down goes cotton and silver. Lot ’or go, Billv ; rve won’t In ow tho difference in an hundred years from now, will wo. We know it’s not your fait, that it is Murk and tho Wall street peo¬ ple who are the jays causing such devilment, and wo don’t propose to wear out our oulfit cussin’ of you. No doubt but that tbo chief keeper of tbo State penitentiary and Gov¬ ernor Atkinson will put their heads together and solve the problem of what to do with tho convicts. Tbo way the thing now stands, according to Special Commission Byrd’s report, ibe system is a scandal to boll and a disgrace to humanity. Look bore, people, is otir county court going to be abolished? Can wo afford to it? What will toko the place of it? Are you mad with tho court or its officers? Is tho court a beneficial institution when eugin eerd right? The Monitor thinks it is, and is under the impression that the people of the county had hotter consider well this matter. We say let the court stay and put the officers on salary. A Georgia school boy givos a good rap on the knuckles of these people who wish to lynch at any and all times, as follows: “Lynchin’is wrong. It hurts tho limbs of tho beautiful trees where tho birds sing. It also hurts them what’s lynched. They should have a regular bangin’ and sell peanuts an’ lemonade. People wbats bung regular by law always go to heaven. I don’t want to go to heaven that way.” Tbo Macon Telegraph alludes to the ‘‘locum tonus” of a neighboring paper. The Telegraph will never bo admitted to the Latin union.—Sa¬ vannah Press. An editor’s Latin has to run the gauntlet of tho type ma¬ chines. It might have been worse. —Macou Telegraph. Ah, ha! It used to be the “intelligent composi¬ tor. Why don’t you do away with the blamed machines and get your paper out in tho good old way. Two good printers are worth throe ma chines, operated by “blacksmiths,” any day. > Tho Financial Review says busi¬ ness conditions continue to improve, and the reports which come from the ^ ... t . anthoiMtios tl ci.ties on on tkw tills subject vnlvHw are ali satisfactory.

Will Morgan M, , ever get . a railroad? ,, This is a question that has been asked a thousand times. The MONITOR answers yes, providing the people of our town and section do their duly. In these days of hustle people need not think that tilings of great benefit are going to come their wav unless they hustle for what they want. The man who sits down and waits for something to turn up for iii.s benefit will nover see anything of real value flop over on his sid r>. To-day there is a better chance for a railroad through our town than ever before, and the Monitor urges our citizens to come to the front ami take advantage of tho opportunity. Mark well what we say, if you don’t someone else will, and Cor the second time in the history of our growing little city—tho place you fought so hard for a year or two ago—it will be “cut off ” and cast aside by rail¬ road builders. The Georgia Pine road, if success- full, and we see no reason why it should not he, will pass through our immediate section if proper induce- tnents are offered; and our people need not think for a moment that it can go no other ronto profitably, for it can. Other sections are hustling for that road. Morgan is in the center of the county, healthy as tho mountains, is the county site, and is surrounded by the most fertile and best timbered lauds in Southwest Georgia. Now is the time tho coming year —for our citizens to “show their band,” to say whether they wish to build up or tear down our town. ur We i honestly ,i , believe ,- that ,, . our . mllu- - ential . , citizens, . . rybody the yes, ev, in county, wishes to see Morgan pros- per, and will do their duty.

War History by Private Soldiers. | Dr. N. S. Frazer strikes a popular chord when he remarks to a St. Louis *■, Republic ... reporter, , What I crave to know about the war Is what, it scorns to me, only tho private soldiers can tell.” If the real history of any war should ever be written, it would consist of the comedy and tragedy in the career of the private soldier. A war history more thrilling, more intensely absorbing than any ever yet printed would be those simple experiences of the boys. Un¬ doubtedly if a publisher should put up¬ on the market a series consisting of the, history of each great battle as the men in the ranks saw it, it would be a very popular book. Who except professional students of militury history cares that bo many men were driven back by the fire of so many guns, while so many others executed a flank movement? We want to know how the man in the ranks felt when shot and shell rained around him, how this comrade fell and that one disappeared mysteriously and was uevor heard of again, how the soldiers from the hostile camps became friends and smuggled delicacies and newspapers to one another while encamped opposite one another. Perhaps the most thrilling episode of the war, so far as such episodes have been printed, is Pittenger’s story of the. stealing of u locomotive in Georgia by some Union soldiers, and their subse¬ quent capture and tragic fate. Thou¬ sands of hearts have beaten fast und faster, thousands of eyes have turned moist at the perusal of this life and death adventure. Pittenger, the quiet, modest private, stirred the hearts of men more than all the staff and official war history writers could do. Let us have more of these stories before those who took part in them have joined their comrades on the unknown shore. Jolm BuU( Ullclc Sw „ UDd * 0lll8 . The information was very generally spread by tho newspapers that Great Britain had refused to bother any fur- the question of the preserva- tion of tho Bering seal herd. With some surprise, then-fore, .. . the news was ^mved that England hud changed her mind after all and consented to reopen tho subject A seal conferonco will ac¬ cordingly bo held in the fall at Wash¬ ington, Jupau, Russia, England and the United States taking part How England happened to change her, mind and see the desirability of such a conference is thus set forth in Tho Review of Reviows: if Undo Bum's communications to John Bull urc at timcci impolite, the fact is merely duo to tho long experience which hay shown that John Bull, like tho sultan, needs something ruder than a polite note. Mr. Olney’s plain -language causod Lord Salisbury to reverse his attitude ou tho Question> of Venezuela. Mr. Sherman's plain language in *liko manner baa enabled the British government quite suddenly to perceive the entire reasonableness of a con* ferenoe on the question of tl\'q sfals. 'John Bull does not really rosdnt these American com¬ munications, fur nothing so mirely makes for pfiaco full, frank and .open discussion. It piny indeed bo’ “undiplomatic'' to toil the truth, but it is altogether convenient for one government to know exactly what another government means and wishes respecting any matter that is in controversy. It is not often that our government means .or wishes any¬ thing other that is improper John' or v tli«f4dvHnt«^Kourf Bull has t<> any country. an onor inous amount of outside business to absorb him, aud Brother Jonathan sometimes finds it necessary to shout rudely in the old gentle¬ man’s ear in order to get his attention. What Henry George predicted would happen if all taxation was placed upon real estate baa really occurred In the case of Mr. William Rockefeller, the Standard Oil magnate of Westchester county, N. Y. Westchostor is a county just outside tiro corporation of New York city, and it Is a favorite site for the palatial country homes of rich city men. •Rockefeller’s Westchester proper¬ ty near Tarrytown has been assessed at $3,500,000. Ills agent declares that the whole cost of tho place, ground, build¬ ings and improvements to the multi¬ millionaire was $475,000. The farm contains 646 acres. Mr. Rockefeller is so angered by the heavy assessment, that he offers to sell out the whole property for $650,000 and quit the uncongenial soil of Westchester, at least his agent says so Aud there are others who have been hit Mr. Robert Bonner, owner of Maud S and other noted trotters, re¬ marks grimly that Westchester county ought to be called Westrobber county.

S. T. Clayton, Morgan; Edison. P. E. Boyd, Leary; Henry Turner, A MOTHER'S " RUSE. Saved Her Sons From Conscription, but Changed tbo Family Name. A gentleman living iu Boston told an interesting story the other day about how some of his blood relatives hap- pened to have a family name different from his own. It seems that during the persecutions iu Scotland these particu- tar Kirkpatricks went over to Ireland and settled iu Belfast. Subsequently the head of the family came across tbo ocean and as soon as he was established sent for his wife to join him, bringing with her their four sons, two of whom were old enough to make stripling sol- diers had some exigency demanded such a sacrifice. The journey was undertaken in a slow going ship bound for New York, and while she was somewhere in mid-Atlantic tho war of 1812 between England aud the United States broke out. The ship when nearing oar seaboard was overtaken by a British cruiser, which put her about and escorted her to Halifax, Nova Scotia. The officer in command of the cruiser declared his in- tention of impressing sailors and sol- diers from umoug the passengers. A mother having more than two sons would have to give up all over thut. number who might be available for military or naval service. Mrs. Kirk- Patrick, who was a quick wilted worn- au > Bistautlv planned a ruso which she justified iu ln-r own mind bv calling it ruse de guerre (a trick of war). She 8tood two sous iu one part of the ship and two in another and was accepted, without detection, os the mother of both pairs, though she called herself Kirk- t ” c k !“ ° u " iustauco aud Kil P atlick in tho , other. they disembarked the deception hud to be kept up, us they were con- stautly under the eyes of British officers, The interception by the cruiser resulted in the family settling in Halifax instead of iu the United states, but even after • peace was restored the two Kirkpatrick | boys found it much harder to get their > name back than it had been to exchange I it ou * WpboarJ .

IT WAS A REAL FIGHT A PIECE OF STAGE REALISM THE GAL¬ LERY DIDN’T APPRECIATE. The Hero Had Some Hiftlcnlty Io Carry¬ ing Oat tho Intentions of the Author. How Two Actors Settled a nisagreement and Lout Their .lobs. Every day one sees things which force him to believe that Barnum said it all when he declared that 1 ‘the Arneri- people like to be humbugged. ” can They will applaud the bogus, the make believe, and allow tho genuine—or, to use a worse bit of slang, “the real thing” —to go off^ tho scene without so much Jf^jes iu the dramatic business are a waste of energy, so I am told by a couple of actors, and here is the story, a tale of how two ambitious ones gave to the exasperating public perhaps the greatest bit of stage realism every pre- rented and received for their patas-and bruises—au awful silence and a few pointed remarks from the gallery critics. I forget what the play was, and who tfae actorswere has nothing whatever to do with the matter at this time. They are both atara todayi however. One did heroic parts and the other the “Ha, ha; ru stea! the F ir1 -” They had played in several pieces together and were friends. One was a believer in real tears and all that goes to constitute living the part, while tho other believed that at no time should the actor allow tho lines or situ¬ ations of the piece to make him forget himself. In tho piece which they were playing the hero and the villain meet at a crit- ical moment and fight. In case the hero failed to settle his opponent—well, he got his salary for doing it, eo it had to occur. „„ The fight _ , . was rehearsed , . and was made t0 j ook real to a Btar tling degree. Tho gallery used to go wild and the whole hov,Re resounded with the up- plause, but this did uot suit the villain, who believed in realism. It was his be¬ lief that a real fight would make a hit. 1 believe I mentioned tho fact that they were friends. That was true. They were tip to the moment where one, in a mo- ment of indiscretion, attempted to crit¬ icise the other Of course everybody knows that when that occurs all friend- ship ceases—between actors. Of course there were coarse remarks passed, and the one who believed iu realism and be¬ illg an u " tor f “ c ! ou folded his arms and said, ‘ When and wherer* “Right here, if you Jike. It’s a short job anywhere." " Yon eh? W-dl it shall oc- cur in our tight sceno tonight. For once the public shall see what they pay for.

The hero’s line, “It is either you or I, Reginald Marshallson,” was answered by—in an undertone—"You bet it Is, and I’ll mark you so you won’t play for a month. ” Instead of going to a clinch, as usual, they both sparred about for an opening, They wero too ]oug in flnding it , aud from tho gallery a critic shouted: w ’ at ’ s de matter wid youso? Why w,0, a w-allop. Then they clinched. The vil- bain back heeled the hero, aud down tb ?? ,^ e n t Lf Fight n . , like a man, not like a dog,” , „ whispered tho hero in hoarse tones. The villain allowed him to get ou his feet, and thoy began to spar ngaiD. About the time the gallery got restless the hero landed a right on the villain’s eye that sent him reeling. Had ho reel¬ ed the other way nil would have been well, os the hero would have gone on with tho piece, but as the hero crossed the stage toward him the realist rushed nnd knocked him down with a swing¬ ing loft. Now, by all the laws of melodrama the villain at no time should get the better of the hero in a personal enconu- *- er - The gallery knew that and roundly hissed the hero for so far forgetting himself. The stage manager knew it aud rau *° oue of the wings to prompt him- The hero knew it, aud he went hack at the villain for keeps, They fought for five minutes all over Ik 0 atage- They knocked down papier mache trees, a stoep to a house and a fence, besides each other. The whole company stood In the wings watching the and the manager cursed aud mad« awful threats in a stage whisper, but somehow the audiencewasnotim- pressed. The gallery yelled: “Yer fakin - Why don’t ye fight?” Thebal- cony, from which on previous nights waves of approval bad broken, sat quiet, bored and sullen. The purqnet, always willing to follow the lead from above on previous occasions, now sat glum, waiting until the very bad imitation of 8 should end. The hero fought desperately. He must win. Tho plot of the piece worked out from his victory, but the villain clinched aut ^ fought as he had never dreamed of fi 8 hti ng- In spite of warnings from the Wings he refused to be knocked senseless aud allow the hero to go ou and rescue the f ir1 ’ etajre rmmager threatened I* 1 '-’ 111 with the curtain, and the hero with one mighty effort freed himself fro,utl )ograspofthcrealistand,rush- jug toward the house iu which the heroine was supposed to be, cried with * Harelip accent: “Beware of me, fhXuS suau no* be thwarted. ^ As he had one eye elosed and his mouth swollen out of heroic proportions the sentence did uot cause the gallery to make any particular fuss.

Japan has probably some just claim against Hawaii or she would not con¬ tinue to talk so much concerning it. Japan has always been the friend of this country and any disturbance of the mutual kindly feeling between the two nations would bo a calamity. The Unit¬ ed States should quietly investigate the claim of Japan, meantime keeping all report of it out of the newspapers, so those journals that got fat on distorting news may not hear of the matter. Then the United States should induce the Ha¬ waiian government to satisfy so much of Japan’s demand us is plainly just.
