That Blue Mark.
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-

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. !
