No doubt but that tbo chief keeper

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

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

should have a regular bangin’ and

A Railroad to .Morgan.
___
W;i! 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

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.

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.
For 84 years Justice Field has occu¬
pied u place on tbo bench of the su¬

Saved Her Sons From Conscription, but

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-

diers from umoug the passengers. A

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

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:

bain back heeled the hero, aud down

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

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

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.
The United States has .morally a pro¬
tectorate over Hawaii, even though an
official one has never been proclaimed.
Pew of us expected to see wheat $1 a
bushel in our lifetime, yet that figure
it has touched.
