Our School.
If there is one thing that helps a
town, and a community, more than
another it is a well conducted school,
presided over by competent and
earnest teachers. And that is just
wbat Morgan proposes to have the
coming scholastic year.
In the first place, wo propose to
have a beautiful and commodious
building, with all the^latest improve
meets for teaching; and next we pro
pose to put two of the best teachers
in the State in that building to teach
your children—Prof. W. S. Short
and Mrs. L. W. Dozier.
While Prof. Short is a young man,
he is decidedly one of the best in¬
structors the trustees of the Morgan
High School have over elected, and
ho is, without a doubt the best school
worker wo have over had. Our hand¬
some academy proves our statement
to bo true. While the Monitor
claims some of the “glory,” and wo
don’t believe this is a case where “self
praise is half scandal,” wo know that
it was our gab, backed up by the
Professor's indomitable pluck and
energy, and favorably considered by
our town council and big-hearted and
big pockctbook citizens, that pro¬
cured for Morgan a building which
will bo a pride as well as a splendid
heritage for her people to leave tkoir
children.
Professor Short will have charge
of the advanco grades, while Mrs. L,
W. Dozier will mauago the primary
department. This lady is too woll
known to the people of Calhoun
county to need any enconium at our
hands. She has beou primary teacher
in Morgan for about five years, and
that alone is enough to recommend
her to the patrons.
What we want now- is your children.
We have two good hotels, and ar¬
rangements can bo made to board
children in almost any family in town.
Morgan is healthy, religious and “in¬
telligent,” and that is what you want;
so why not send your children here,
where they will be well takou care of
and well taught.
School will open as soon as the
building is finished, which will be
about the second Monday in Septem¬
ber. But there will bo a notice in
the Monitor later giving exact date.

faints, and then wire for our editor.

Aiu<-.--li'H!i Inti-r<Mls In Samoa.
Have v..i any in: r -:.s in Samoa? Mr.
Henry O. Iric, who was chief justice in
Samoa, - xpr- ? - s the opinion in The
North American Review that vv« have
decidedly.
He recalls, llr-t, tho provisions uf tbe
international treaty of Juno 14, 1880.
The treaty was signed by the govern¬
ments of Groat Britain, Germany and
tbe United States, and its object was to
pn 'tv 0 forever the perfect neutrality
of Samoa. It was not tbe -independence
of the inlands that was aimed ut, for
th y wore put under u sort of Joint con¬
trol by the three nations named-. In
1873 the native chief of Pago I’ngo had
given to os tho exclusive privilege of
establishing a naval station at Apia, on
ids coast. That privilege still holds and
tbe port of Pago Pago is still oars.
Mr. Ida believes the United Stater
has shamefully neglected its duties un
privileges in connection with Samoa.
By provision of tho treaty of 1889 any
oie- ■ f the three contracting nations can
withdraw from tho ailiuuco. Mr. Ido
writes to convince tho Airaricun people
that it will be a most disastrous course
for this country to withdraw from tho
joint control. Tho moment we do so tho
islands will be seized either by England
or Germany. By that act we shall give
up our last harbor in the south Pacific,
that, too, in the face of the fact that
our Pacific coast is making gigantic
rtruh toward becoming more important
and wealthy thun the Atlantic coast.
The material resources of the Banioan
islands are rich beyond the belief of any
who buve not examined them narrowly.
They only await some attention on onr
part to be developed. It is to be noted
that now Samoa aml'llawaii are the
only groups of islands as yet uuuuuexed
by a European country.
Instead, therefore, of turning our
hacks on Samoa and lazily giving It and
our sole south Pacific naval staiion up
to England or Germany Mr. Ide urges
tho United States to wake up and tuko
an active part in tho civilizing and de¬
veloping of the laud Robert Louis
Stevenson loved.
The Baths of Murylebono.
In some respects the evilization of
Europe is in advance of ours in America.
Tho pnblio baths and laundries for tho
poor in large cities both of tho continent
and of Great Britain aro un illustration.
Not long since there were opened
omlil great rejoicing in tbo Mnryiobono
district of London perhaps tho most
complete public baths in the world.
They are not free. A charge of from 1
to 3 cents is made for their use, it being
rightly considered that u person who is
civilized onongh to want a bath is also
civilized enough to want, to pay for it
Thus, too, tho stigma of charity is taken
away from the enterprise.
The baths arc built and controlled by
tho municipal authorities. Pour swim-
miug pools and 101 private baths are
in the cluster of buildings. Tho publio
school children revel in tho luxury of
vapor bath, shower, plunge and swim.
In ono of tbe buildings a swim, a show¬
er bath and soup and towols cun all be
hud for 3 cents. In the winter thu lar¬
gest swimming jxxil is floored over and
the space converted into a gymnasium.
With the baths is connected a laundry
containing modern machinery and con¬
veniences for renovating linen quickly
and thoroughly. This is for women of
tho poor cIubsch who buve no facilities
for wushing clothes oletiu at isuua
It is u sign of the times that so many
publications are devoted to tbo study of
psychic soieuoe uud tho iufluouco of
mind ovor matter. From tho professor
of psychology in his library and labora¬
tory to the plain individual who is try¬
ing to understand the various fads of
healing without modioino all arc trying
to unravel tho great riddlo of mind and
matter. There are fully 20 periodicals
in America devoted to these subjects,
and all scorn to thrive. A now ono is to
be uddod Sept I, we observe. Its name
is to be Mind, uud it will be pub¬
lished monthly in New Pork city.
Among other things it will print fucts
and theories on the subject of hypno¬
tism, clairvoyance, clairaudieuee, hal¬
lucinations and premonitions, telepathy
or direct thought transference, automat¬
ic writing, trances and inspirational
speaking. It will seek to find an answer
to tho question, " What are the under¬
lying verities in these matters?" The
editors of Mind do not believe that
India and tho orient know all them is
to be known concerning these subjects,
but that the western world will develop
a system of psychology of its own
which will at least bo free from the
long Sanskrit words and the juggling
fakirs that seem necessary attendants on
oriental philosophy.
A traveler who has been in all parts
of the civilized world and observed eco¬
nomic conditions narrowly says: "Eu¬

Iu a few years there will be a tre¬
mendous demand for American cattle
there. I cun see tilings far in advance
of some people. In tho one little item
of charging 20 cents a pound for the
poorest kind of meat iu Russia I saw
that there is money to be made iu ship¬
ping cattle to Russia. That Russia is an
awful place, ” remarked tho traveler.

HE ESCAPED THE LAW,
But a Watery Grave "Wab the Price of Hla
Liberty.
From Sunday’s Albany Herald.
Moso Harris, a Calhoun county Negro,
was drowned in Flint river yesterday
(Saturday) afternoon about 2 o’clock
while attempting to escape from tho
officers of tho law.
Harris was wanted by the authorities
of Calhoun county to answer to a charge
of attempted assault, and Sampson Perry,
a Negro constable of Dougherty eounty,
held a warrant for his arrest.
Yesterday afternoon Harris was on
Broad street near Welch’s corner when
he saw Perry approaching him. With¬
out a moment’s hesitation ho sprang
away like a startled deer, and ran like
the wind. Perry gave ohase, and Officer
Raley joined in the pursuit, which the
fugitive carried iu the direction of the
river, running down the .alley south of
Weston’s warehouse.
Sheriff Edwards happened to be pass¬
ing aud followed the fleeing Negro, and
a mimbor of other persons joined in.
When Harris reached tho river ho was
closely pressed, aud without ceremony
ho took to Jthe water, wading out some
distance to where the swift ousrent swept
him off his feet. He grasped somo vines
that hung down near the water and thus
kept himself from sinking.
When Sheriff Edwards reached the
scene he endeavored to persuade Harris
to come out aud surrender, but the fugi¬
tive did not say a word in reply. Finally
the sheriff commenced undressing pre¬
paratory to going into the water, but
Harris, as soon as he saw the officer’s
evident intention, released his support
and was swept doivu stream. He pro¬
bably could not swim, for he only came
to the surface once being quickly drowned
in tbe swift ourrent, which runs like a
mill race at that point.
Several persous witnessed his death,
blit it was impossible to assist him. Up
to last night his body had not been re-
covered, and may never be.
The readers of the Monitoh will re¬
member that a few weeks ago we made
mention of the fact that some fiend, in
tho absence of her husband one night,
attempted to break into Mrs. Thomas
Griffin’s bedroom, at tbeir residence in
the upper third district of this county.
It proved to bo Mose Harris, who has
just recently returned from the cliain-
gang.

DIDN’T CARE ABOUT STYLE.
Bat Nevertheless He Wouldn't Co Down
Town Without a Necktie.
"Georgiana,” said Mr. Dalrymple,
"it seems to me that ycu spend alto¬
gether too much time worrying about
what other folks ar« likely to thick
about you. Wby don’t you follow my
example and have a little independ-
ince? As long as I know that I am do¬
ing my duty as a man what do I care
bow others like my style?"
"I don't know,” Mrs. Dalrymple re¬
plied, “what you mean. In what way
havs I been worrying about what other
folks think of me?”
“Oh, in a hundred ways,” her hus¬
band answered. “You wouldn’t wear
the waist you have on if it were not for
the fact that all the other women wear
them and would think you couldn’t
afford it if yon didn’t have one. You
wouldn’t care whether you had lace
curtains at tbe windows if other folks
didn’t have them. You wouldn’t spend
money for a hundred and one other
things that you could get along with¬
out just as well as not if you were not
always trying to pose before other peo¬
ple. ’’
"Well," Mrs. Dalrymple assented,
for she was not disposed to quarrel over
the matter, “it is perhaps as you say.
I am sorry that it is so, but I can’t help
it. Aren't you afraid you’ll be late at
the office this morning? And yon
haven’t put on your necktie this morn¬
ing. How did you come to forget it?”
t * By Georgel” he exclaimed, looking
at his watch, "it’s nearly 8 o'clock
now. I don't know how I happened to
forget my necktie. Where is it? I must
hurry. ”
"Oh, never mind tbe tie this morn¬
ing," bis wife said. "You’ve got a
clean shirt and collar on. Go without
the tie. ’ ’
“Whatl" shouted William Dalrym¬
ple. "Go down town without a necktie I
You must think I’m crazy. Why, the
boys in the office would guy tbe life out
of me, and peoplo would think I didn’t
have money enough to buy one. Here
it is. Goodby. ”
Thun Mrs. Dalrymple sat down and
thought, and two little wrinkles with
merry curves appeared at the corners of
her mouth.—Cleveland Leader.
UNUSUAL LEGAL DECISION.
But It Was Emphatically Indorsed by tbe
Spectators.
“I beard the late Judge John R.
Grace of the court of appeals of Ken¬
tucky set aside the verdict of a jury
once under circumstances that, to my
mind did him infinite credit,” said Rep¬
resentative John 8 . Rhea of that state
to a Washington Post representative.
“It seems that a poor woman, who
was on the verge of starvation and who
was tho sole support of four little chil¬
dren, went into a neighbor’s smoke¬
house and purloined a piece of bacon.
Tbe proof was positive, aud the Jury
reluctantly returned a verdict of guilty.
When the finding of the jury was road,
Judge Grace, who at that time presided
over the Fourteenth judicial district,
rising to his feet, said in the most em¬
phatic tones:
“ ‘The court orders that the verdict
iu this case be set aside, and I want to
declare here that in all cases where an
unfortunate woman Is on trial for steal¬
ing food, taken to keep her offspring
from starving, it will require 18 men
to convict her of tbe crime in this court.
The defendant is discharged from cus¬
tody. ’
“The announcement was greeted
with applause from tho spectators, uud
the general sentiment was that Judge
Grace had noted not ouly as befitted a
chivalrous man, but that his ruling
was right. Theft to keep innocent
babes from perishing of banger oati
scarcely be oalled a crime."
She Wears Her Cross.
The up to date woman wears her
cross if sho is so fortunate as to possess
one. As an article of jewelry this sym¬
bol of suffering is as popular as it was
in the days of the grandmothers. When
the graudmothers were girls, the pos¬
session of a handsome bejeweled cross
that oould be worn as a pin, a hair or¬
nament or a locket amounted almost to
a badge of aristocraoy. Tho black ones,
studded with diamonds or pearls, or
both, were highest iu favor, as they are
today. The fashionable cross must bo
antique looking. Not everybody’s
grandmother possessed one, however,
80 the jewelers have come to the rescue
of the woman who did not fall hoir to
one and are bringing out exquisite de¬
signs iu Roman gold. Most of them are
studded with precious stones, and many
have backgrounds of black enamel. It
is by no means a taking form of per¬
sonal adornment, but the women like
it—New York Sun.
Hla Last Law Case.
The late William S. Groesbeck of
Cincinnati never took another law case
after his defense of President Andrew
Johnson. “The brilliant speech which
won that qase,” says the Cincinnati
Commercial Tribune, “ proved the man’s
remarkable will ond intellectual pow¬
ers. He had been so ill as to be confined
to his bed, aud on the day of the trial,
and while lying iu bod, he jotted down
on a sheet of foolscap pnper tho main
points of his defense. He was driven to
the tribunal iu a oarriage, unable to
walk, and spoke extempore for four
hours and a half. At the close article
11 was voted upon and the president
acquitted without the taking up of any
of the other articles. Since that time
Mr. Groesbeck had lived a life of quiet
anil retirement. Iu 1873 he built Elm¬
hurst, a noble house of superb propor¬
tions, commanding a river view of un¬
surpassed beauty.”

decided to be cattle. Some importers
claimed they were not when it came to
paying duty on calfskins at the rate of
