The controversy over the Wlrz monument continues The Daughters of ihe Confederacy have decided to erect a monument, and this will be done. This much Is settled Hut as to the location of this monument and the Inscription to he placed upon It no agreement of opinion has been ,reached The city of Americas, only a few [mllea distant from Andersonvllle, very much desires that the monument should be placed there; and there are others who favor this location. Many favor Atlanta, aa the capital of the state and the place where most peo pie In Georgia would see It. And, of course, there are those who hold that It should be placed at Andoraonvllle. That the latter Is the proper place ! t eems to be eloar. Americas and At i lanta doubt loss would be glad to have the monument, as any city would like j to have all these helps to municipal adornment It cun get. Thai more peo ple would see It Iri Atlanta may be true, still the comparative solitude at Andersonvllle would remain the prop er place 11 was al Andersonvllle where Ma jor Wlrz was In command and where in the discharge of his duties as a soldier he did that for which In the heat of the war fever and the reveng ful spirit ot the times hts life was demanded. With Andersonvllle his name Is Inseparably connected At AiidcrnonviHe also are numerous other monuments, erected by various states in memory of lheir sons who died In that famous prison, and for this rea son also Ihe monument of the vlcarl ous victim of ihe hatred of the sur vivors and Ihe friends of those who perished there should be placed An dersonvllle Is annually visited by tour ists who ar, attracted to the place by j the memories that cluster around It us the great war prison pen. These ‘visitors se.. ihe other monuments, and j wlih them thay should also see that | , erected In Its most illustrious victim. I Whatever the Wlrs monument nmy j be able to do to leach the truth of I 'history will he hotter accomplished: by placing H si Andersonvllle than could he accomplished by its location ! In any other place, | Andersonvllle Is the place to erect I It. As for the Inscription, It should re \ cite the story of his death, unjustly j Inflicted to satisfy popular clamor based on misinformation, and do this, without any rancorous allusions its may bo found upon some of Ihe other, monument* at that place. The war is over. Its animosities are past. It j |is now seen a* It was, a fearfin j fratricidal strife which should never ; have inkeu place. The thousands who' died In the prison pen were Its vie | liras, w ith (hose other thousands who I tilled aoldtora* graves on Ihe many! battlefields, hsl for Ihe mortality of I |tbd prison pen Its commander was no more roaponathle than the g«nrraln ware responsible for tne slaughter on the but t bdlelds Major Wlri simply | did hla duty an a soldier, and ho did It In a way which In tho full light of] complete Investigation meet a and titer it k the approval of all men.

THOSE BRAZILIAN WARSHIPS.

These Hi*. • Ilian ststesmeti may share the n> bd wl Hie naval doctiiaarlea, that one of these great battleships can whip an entire navy of smaller ves sels. It Is grave.ly assefed that a Drendnaiigbt Is trot'- ‘han a match for three of the most powerful bat tleships of the ne>t lower order, and In ace .rdance with Hits undisputed naval doctrine Brazilian statesmen may think that having three 'iuch bat-j lleships will make Brazil a great world power at one clip, and place | her In position to carry out plans or j aggrandizement which they hav , formed. But are then,- monster warships i really as formidable as they are be lieved to be by naval experts? It J must he remembered that In regard to them nothing Is known by aeittal test In battle Not only Dread-j nsughtß, but the formidable battle-1 ships of preceding order of battle ships, have ever demonstrated the. - fighting value that Is placed upon 1 them in the Hpanlsh-Amerlcan war anil the Husho Japanese war is was the smaller ships which did all j the effective work. And so 1' will probably continue, and the next war between two sea powers will probab- I ly vhow again, as has bo< u the eas - In the past, that the great hattla- i ships really do nothing while the re sult of the war Is being decided bv what is accomplished by the smaller ships. Hut the naval experts are obsessed , with the Idea that Dreadnaught*con-! slliute the power of a navy, and so j *10,000,000 per ship are spent by as many countries as can squeeze the j money out of their people. Oh the j blind folly of so-called statesmen! MODERN CRUSOE 3. News was received last Saturday that the crew and passengers of the British steamer Aeon were safe on Christmas Island. This put at rest the fear which had been felt for sev eral weeks that they had perished The Aeon steamed out of San Fran cisco harbor on July ti, for an Aus tralian port. She did not arrive there at, the proper time. Week after week passed without any tidings of her, and all hope had been given up. II was believed that sho must he added to the long list of ships which sailed from port and were lost without leav ing a trace. Then the message was received. It appears that on July 18. In mid ocean, the Aeon strurk a choral reef scar t'hrlstnias Island and was hope lessly wrecked. Her passengers and crew reached the Island In safety, and prepared to do the best possible under the circumstances. This wasn't much, for the Island Is Inhabited only by a small uuuibcr of natives who live In very primitive fashion. Not producing anything of value lo In duce trade, and out of reach of all established trade lines, It is very j rarely visited by passing vessels. So ihe shipwrecked mariners were ma rooned as was Robinson Crusoe, and set down for a more or less extended ''nisoe experience. Uowev • five bold sailors among them undertook to get inio communi cation with the outside worm. The?' manned a lifeboat which had been saved and sailed away to reach Fan ning Island, a larger Island lying one | hundred tulles away, which was oc casionally touched by passing vessels. They made ibis Island safely and from thence news of the fate of the Aeon land her people was sent out. | in course of lime the inarooners on Christmas (aland will be released from their Island, though doubtless their eyes will grow weary with looking for the ship that Is lo carry them away, before It will arrive there. In the meantime they will suffer no serl ous hardships, being supplied with sufficient stores, and they will have the novel experience of real Crusoe | life, utiuux its solitude. It seems strange that even now, when news is dashed almost instate 1 taneously around the world, and ail parts of the world, as we express R, ! are in communication with each other, f 11 should be possible for a conilsuiv ol men lo be shipwrecked on an Island, and tUD fact not known to the world ilu two months? Vet this happened | And bad not a boat been saved and j t bus the means failed by which the > ttve 'sailors reached Fanning lalami. IR U entirely possible that (he ma j roonera might have had to remain on |Christmas Island for many months or even years, before feting discovered anil released Truth still remains stranger than Bn lon.

Displayed in almost every .shop win dow and in hotel corridors and other ! conspicuous places in Augusta are large placards, the big red poster let ters of which spell these words, giv ; ing the very best bit of advice and cheering the people of that city who are overcoming the difficulties with which they have had to contend since the flood waters subsided and left ruin and much suffering and many problems to solve. Smile, darn you, smile!'’ It sounds good to them. They seem to realize that it Is most excellent advice, and they take It and profit by It. They are smiling and going about their monumental tasks as happily as though they were on a frolic. 'And It's a smile that won’t come off, thelr's is. Other cities have suffered worse calamities than Augusta suffered when she was water bound and have gone to work In the proper spirit and restored all that was wrecked and ruined, but Augusta has received very little outside aid In, her present trouble in comparison with the de mands that city were called upon ta meet, and the conditions in that city even at this time are far more ser!- ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ POINT AND COUNTERPOINT. 0 ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦*♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ Invited to Charleston.

Hut it is with a smile that they tell you of what they suffered while marooned for days In upper stories sometimes without food and fearful of a greater rise in the flood waters and of the despoliation of their homes and the losses sustained in business. Those placards have gotten Into their work. They comfort a man at every turn. They cheer him on. It is all very simple, the idea of having a thousand or so of these pla cards printed and distributed, but af ter viewing the work they have ac complished and knowing what those words "Smile, dam you, smile!" have mean; to the people, surely no one can deny that in all tile relief work that has been done in Augusta no one thing has contributed more to relieve the situation than the work of the man who thought of this sim ple scheme at the psycological mo ment. and thinking of it, got busy. The effect has been that the people were immediately brought to look upon the bright side of things, and that was half the battle. The other half is now being won.—Columbus Enquirer-Sun. Demoralized Republicans All the jaunty confidence with which the republicans began the campaign has disappeared. Mr. Roosevelt and St. Taft are greatly worried Chairman Hitchcock has prepared an admirable card-index and broken all records for travel on the Twentieth Century Limited, but these has been no republican cam l aign visible lo the naked eye and Mr. Roosevelt iB frantically writing letters in an attempt to arouse the voters. There are fractional fights in near ly every debatable state —New York, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and lowa. Even in such a rock-ribbed re publican state aR Michigan the rival candidates for governor are contest ing the count of the vote ip the re cent primaries, and there Is a possi bility that the state ticket on elec non day will be without a head. The only factional contests which hafe yielded to Ihe niinlstrations of the national committee are those in West Virginia and Tennesee. The Foraker revelations have stunned the leaders. With the election only si i weeks oft the republican party 'ig more demorallied than It was the day after the nominations were made and it Is doubtful If even old Dr. Crane can better the patient's condi tion. Yet outside of Mr. Bryan's speech es tne democrats have done little In the way of making a campaign, and even In Mr. Bryan's case the moral effect of his arguments has often ben weakened by his tender solici tude for President Rooseveltv What would be the situation now if the democrats had begun with such a whirlwind campaign as they fought In 1892?
