In another column of this week’s Monitor will be found an interesting article from the pen of Prof. R. H. Shell, of Dickey. Prof. Shell is a forcible writer and his articles are always inter¬ esting. The Monitor learns from pretty good authority that if the people in and near Morgan want the rail- road they can get it, by showing to the officials what they will do for the road’s interest. If you want the road show yourself and be active. The Monitor learns that the few Republicansm . Calhoun coun- ty have decided to meet in Morgan again before the election, and that they will have with them the ne- gro Methodist preacher, of Bain- bridge, who is to oppose Hon. J. M. Griggs for Congress, It ap- pears to us that the Democrats of this Congressional district could find other employment for this ‘■reverend gentleman” rather than have him rub up against our Congressman, Jim Griggs, But they will attend to him on elec¬ tion day. -___ ' Prot. .Jesse Barnette, of Leary, lias two inteiesting communica- tions in this week’s Monitor, en¬ l_ titled "Let’s Have the Railroad, and “The Advantages of An Edit- cation.” the former article is especially an interesting commu- meat-ion on the Georgia Pine rail- road which is being built from Bain bridge to Dawson by Morgan. Prof. Barnette pleads for the road to come by Morgan and sets forth the great advantages that will be derived b Y getting the road direct to P lace * Prof. Barnette is a | deep thinker and his articles are always gladly welcomed to our columns.

The | peace conditions set forth by Presi- dent McKinley were discussed at today b\ Minister Sagasta, and at the conclusion it was given out officially that the terms of the United States would be accepted. There are one . or two amendments to the proposi- tion of the United Strtes that Spain v.ll •li ask i*i to bo made, i and , ,f ., tins ... * . done peace will be declared at once.” AMBASSADOR CAMBON NOW HAS SPAIN’S ANSWER. Londott, August 3-Tb. Madrid con . esl „, KU „ t of The Standard, tele- g ~ >sim ?™, ^, “the government's reply to , American terms was forwarded yes. terday evening through M. Cam bon an d there is a strong prospect that peace will be concluded’ ‘it is not to be supposed that the United .States government will object to lepresenta- tion being made on the Phillippine question and upon some peeunary claims which were mooted by tlie United States in the West On all the remaining main issues Spain a disposition to assent to the American demands. “No Cabinet council was held today nor are the ministers likely to meet again until fresh intelligence is re¬ ceived from Washington. This is not expected at the earliest before Wednesday. The general impies- sion is that both governments are disposed to put an end to the war asj honorably as possihb, for Spain, which would have been easier had the United States not imposed aueh hard conditions with regard to the Phillippines.” ROME CORRESPONDENT SAYS TERMS WILL BE SIGNED. London, August 3--The Rome correspondent of The Daily Chroni¬ cle says: “Spain, it is asseited here, has ae cepted the American terms with un¬ important reservations, and the peace preliminaries will be signed before Saturday.” _ ____ _ _ T.
