About two weeks ago the Mom- tor sent out statements for sub¬ scription accounts, and so far the returns have not even replaced the money spent for stamps. We don’t like to be continually dun¬ ning our subscribers, but we must have the cash. The single sub¬ scription is not a serious business to the average subscriber, but thousands of unpaid subscriptions bring inevitable anxiety and embarrassment in the quarter where they are due. If your pa¬ per has a blue mark opposite your name, it means for you to remit at once. Your statement will tell you the amount. Tho congressional election which takes place Nov. 8 is of great im¬ portance to the voters of this dis¬ trict. In the first place, a party that would put up a low down negro preacher like Smith in opposi¬ tion to a white gentleman like Hon. J. M. Griggs, deserves to bo sunk so deep into oblivion that its corpse would nevermore smell. In many localities Smith’s presence would not be tolerated, saying nothing of his being a candidate for such an im¬ portant position as congressman. A negro who votes for a white republi¬ can, as is expected in the 11th dis¬ trict, is excusable, but a white man who will vote for a nigger in this or any other district in Georgia or the South deserves to be relogated to an evon hotter place than hades. A fellow-devil, whose wings have evidently been singed, thus discourseth on the dear girls: “Yea, verily, verily, girls are of a few days and full of mischief; and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. When the fair one clieweth gum hastily and stainp- eth her pretty foot with vigor, then beware. She comet,h forth in the evening with low r neck and short sleeves, but in the morning she lieth in bed while her mother hustleth. She eateth all summer of the young man’s cream and partaketh of buggy rides; but when winter time cometh, she winketh the other eye and goeth with another beau.” A home without joy and glad¬ ness beaming from the faces of all its occupants, without kind words and happy laughter gladdening all their hearts, is the dreariest spot on earth. Therefore, every one should study to make their homes the most inviting place in all the world to its inmates. If this were done thousands of boys would be saved from going to the bad, and it would help the girls. The Baker county courthouse was entered by burglars a few days ago, and stole the county deed record book. The county officials were very much distressed over tho disap¬ pearance of the important book, but it was subsequently found by tho captain of the boat, J. P Williams, flouting down tho river. Beyond the injury of the binding, no damage was done to tho book. The officers and men of the First Georgia who were not discharged, but furloughed, on the first of tho mont h, are ordered to report to Ma¬ con ou tho first of Novomber for mustering out. Mark the prediction of the Monitor, every man who has not already bneu discharged will serve his full time of two years. Th A war is uot yet over. Sheriff Davis will interest the peo¬ ple in front of tbo court house uoxt Tuesday, that being hts regular sale day. The sheriff will havo on sale everything from a bale of cotton to several lot. of land. Read the ad- vertiseraeut ou the third page. A Rig Corporation. As will bo seen elsewhere in this issue, B, F. Merritt, William Glower, Moses Timmons, J. G. Price and Alex Avorv have petitioned tho Su¬ perior court for tho incorporation of a concern to be known as The Farmers and Planters’ Supply Co., to be carried on for twenty years, with the privilege of renewing the same at tho end of that time. Tho capital stock is fixed at $10,- 000, but the petitioners ask tho priv¬ ilege of increasing the same from time to time to an amount not ex¬ ceeding $ 50 , 000 . One-tenth of the original capital stock has already been subscribed, The petitioners propose to carry on a general mercantile business, buying and selling for cash or on credit, such articles and things as are usually embraced in a general mercantile business. The principal office and place of business will be in Calhoun county, state of Georgia. Too much stress cannot be laid upon tho importance of this incor¬ poration. The incorporators are mou of well-known business quali¬ fications, who posses the entire con¬ fidence of the people of the county, and that they will make a success of their undertaking goes without say¬ ing. We understand that stockholders can purchase goods and implements at wholesale prices, and patrons who are not stockholders will only be charged a small advance upon the original cost in making purchases. As a share can bo purchased for on¬ ly $ 50 , the inducement to become a stockholder is exceedingly gieat. Whether a man is a farmer, mechan¬ ic or laborer or professional man, it is to his interest to buy where he can buy the cheapest, and by becoming a stockholder in this concern he has tho opportunity to do so. We have no doubt but what tho capital stock will be subscribed at once, and The Farmers and Planters’ Supply Co. will be the leading and most popular meecantile institution in Calhoun county. A Gall to Democratic Duty. From the Albany Herald of last Monday we find the following sensi¬ ble and timely article which should be carefully read by every Democrat in this Congressional district: “The Herald has information from reliable sources which impels it, as a Democratic newspaper, to call the attention of tho Democrats of the Second Congressional district to a danger that lies hidden in the gen- oral apathy that prevails in the Dem¬ ocratic ranks of the district. As a sentinel upon the watchtower we want to say to tho Democrats of this district that too many of them are asleep, while tho enemy is wide awake and secretly though energeti¬ cally, at work. “The Herald has reliable informa¬ tion which reveals the fact that in several counties of the . district the Negroes who have registered for the November election outnumber the whites or Democrats who voted in tho October election, and in some of the counties there are more Negroes than whites legistered. This is the situation in the district today, and the registration books have closed. Only those who havo registered can vote at tho election on the 8th of Novomber. “Taking the district ns a whole, the Democrats who have registered outnumber the Negroes, but if the Democrats remain indifferent and apathetic and the Negroes all turn out on election day aud vote, the result will be in great doabt, The votes of the Democrats in those counties where they havo a majority on the registration lists are going to 00 needed to overcome tho Negro majorities in other counties and to make up for the general Democratic apathy. “We do not fear an adverse ma¬ jority in the Second district, but it is the, rule of a Republican Congress of which we are afraid. In case of a contest before a Republican house if wo judge by what has been laid down as tho rule in such cases by the present Congress, EVERY REG¬ ISTERED NEGRO IN THE DIS¬ TRICT WILT. BE COUNTED FOR 1 HE NEGRO CANDIDATE. ^ HETHER HE \ OTED OR NOT, ONLY THOSE WHITE DEMOCRATS WHO VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC CANDI- DATE WILL BE COUNTED FOR HIM. Thus it will be seen that IT WILL RE NECESSARY, IN ORDER TO AVOID ALL DAN¬ GER OF CONTEST, FOR JUDGE GRIGGS THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE, TO RECEIVE MORE WHITE VOTES THAN THERE ARE REGISTERED NE¬ GROES IN THE DISTRICT. “Democrats of the Second dis¬ trict, are wo not justified by this state of facts in sounding a note of alarm? Awake! The vote of ev¬ ery registered Democrat in the dis¬ trict will be needed on the 8th of November, and these who fail to go to the polls and vote will be neglect¬ ing an imperative party dnty.” Word comes from Paris that the Span¬ iards will soon break off negotiations with the American peace commissioners unless the demands are modified. The Spaniards recently signed a protocol which was supposed to cover all the vital points of a peace treaty. The points at issue were all laid down in that. Tho commission was expected to do nothing more than lay out the lines of different detail according to the demands of the protocol. They have no power to mod¬ ify, no power to ask or concede anything beyond their instructions, The dons can beat us at diplomacy aDd they know it. We also know it and do not propose to play at their game, We have nine strong points of law and will hold them until the tenth comes to ns. Tho de¬ mands of the Unilod States have been less than would have been made jnstly and less than any other nation would accept. There has never been a time when any one could complain at the amount of the demands. The only ob¬ jection ever raised was by some of our own people as n matter of justice to American citizens and against an expan¬ sive policy applied to our own country. Spain oannot talk us into any gold brick game. She may have signed the peace protocol with no idea of carrying out its terms, and then throwing herself upon the interfering tactics of Europe claiming that we do not talk peace. W’e will jnst hold all the islands until she makes peace; An aggressive war is no longer neccessary for that; and the quicker she comes to terms the sooner caa she begin her reconping from an unprofitable war.

The boiler at the gin on the Johnson place, four miles east of Leary, exploded last Friday, doing considerable damage to the prem¬ ises and badly wounding a little son of Mr. R. m. Jordan, who was sitting in the doorway nearby. A small piece of plank struck the little fellow on the back side of his leg, cutting away the flesh and tearing the muscles apart. I)r. Terry dressed the wound and Mr. Jordan told us Saturday that tho little boy was resting well. Luck¬ ily no one else was near the en- gine at the time. Mr. Jordan had called the negro fireman away for the moment to assist in seme other work. Mr. Jordan says he is at a loss to account for the ex¬ plosion of the boiler, as he is con¬ fident there was plenty of water in it at the time the explosioi 1 oc- curred and that it-had un only a a moderate head of steam.—Arl¬ ington Courier. !
