Rumors Of Ahdicntion

Following the report of the partial blind
ness of the queen, which by the way has
been denied. comes a rumor that she is
preparing to abdicate the throne shortly
after the conclusion of the jubilee festivi-
ties. Rumors Of her intention to give up
the throne to the Prince of Wales have
been circulated at intervals for the last
fifteen years or more, but at no time has
the percentage of probabilities of correct
ness Of the rumors been so great as at
present. This is the case quite naturally,
because of the queens age
II has been an open secret for long
time that the queens infrmitles have be-
come such as to seriously handicap her.
Within the last few months, according TO
authentic information, several OF the lead
ing specialists in Europe have visited her
majesty in order to treat her eyes She
is also afflicted with rheumatism, which
has received the careful attention Of the
best medical men in the empire. But de-
spite the efforts OF the physicians, II is
said all hope of restoring her health is
vain. The doctors say that quiet and ease
may prolong her life for a number OF years.
and they recommend the shifting of the
burden Of care to other shoulders. 1t has
been cabled to this country that the queen
will aoquiesce in their views. and in a
few months win hand the reins of gov
eminent TO her son. 1t has been her am
bition TO round out the record reign. and
having done so, she is willing to retire.
The retirement OF her majesty would be
regretted everywhere, for personal rea-
sons but It would hardly create ripple
upon the political surface. The time has
passed, at least In England, when the
transfer OF tho crown from one brow to
another might be attended by a political
CONFUSION The people are the real rulers
there, and they have so systematized their
affairs that the shifting OF the rolns will
make no porcepuble difference to the gov
eminent or the people.

Their Conversation.

Said Egbert's father to him, according
to the Chicago Record. MY son, listen
to the successful men. Learn wisdom
from them. Be silent while they speak, but
keep your ears busy. Treasure their words
and go and do likewise"
Egbert answered: Yes, father"
In a corner of the hotel two men talk
ed long and earnestly. Egbert watched
them from across the room. They were
we'll dressed and substantial. Egbert said
IF I could listen to their conversation

ketful, for they must be arranging the de-
tails of some large business deal"
The evening wore away. The clock struck
the warning hour and other men moved
outside, where the air was purer and the
weather more tolerable. Excited groups
talked politics and in quiet corners men
told fish stories, but these men talked
without needing or looking up. And Egbert
watched them.
Carelessly and stealthily Egbert walked
toward the corner where the men talked

building in the wrong Direction.

Building in the Wrong Direction.
The countys railroad for carrying Au-
gusta gravel for road building is now be-
ing laid westward on the Montgomery
cross-road, which is being hardened from
the Waters road to the White Bluff road
1t may not be out of place to explain, for
the benefit Of those who are not familiar
with the topography of that part of the
county that the Montgomery cross-road is
a public highway about four miles from
the city, extending east and west from
Sandhy station to the White Bluff shell
road. It intersects the highways to Isle
Of Hope Bona Bella. Cattle Park, Cedar
Hammock, Bethesda, Montgomery, Beau
lieu and other places on the salts. From
the White Bluff shell road 1t continues
to the Ogeechee road, but its name is
changed 10 Buckhalter road.
- Pe1itinn after petition has been sent to
the county commissioners, asking for
good road to the places named above. The
need for such road is well understood.
If The work that Is now being done on
the Montgomery cross road, westward
from the Waters road, were done on the
eastern part of it, that is, towards Sand,
fly station, great benefit would accrue to
hundreds Of persons who reside from
Bona Bella on the north to Montgomery
and BeauHeu on the south. 1t would not
be a direct route to be sure, but it would
supply the want which Is now felt. The
residents in the section named have no
hard roads, while the few persons who
live in the locality which is about to re-
ceive the benefits Of the amount set apart
in the county budget for road improve
ments have a good shell road
The county commissioners, 1t is said,
are improving the Montgomery cross road
westward, in order to relieve the people
who use the White Bluff shen road from
the necessity of paying tolls. If that is
the reason for spending the public money
on this road, there Is a greater reason why
the county commissioners should extend
their kindly offices to those who live at
Bona Bella, Cattle Park, Isle of Hope,
Cedar Hammock, Bethesda, Montgomery,
Beaulieu and other places in that section;
for they have not only to pay tribute to a
shell road, but get only half service, as the
Thunderbolt toll road extends only four
miles out of the city.
From either business or nhilanthropic
standpoint, the county commissioners. if
they are to use the taxpayers money for
road building, should devote their ener-
gies and the county cash to Improvements
where they will do the most good; that is,
where there are people to be benefited, not
where there are none.
There may be reason why the county
commissioners persist in depriving people
who pay large amounts into the public
treasury of a share in the benefits of pub
lie improvements, while they spend money
lavishly on roads and drainage where but
few persons live. Possibly some day the
public may be able to find out why all
this is thus"

She Was a Teacher.

The cable car was crowded, mostly by
men, and when the large and determined
looking woman entered they did not arise
to offer her a seat, says the New York
Journal. In fact, no one did, whereat she
flushed an angry red, and reaching up
caught hold of strap with a vicious
clutch.
This was too much for a meek-looking
young gentleman, and he arose. and
touching his hat, said: will you take

coloring with embarrassment as he felt
the eyes of his fellow passengers upon
him, but will-will you take it?'
''Where?" she shouted in tragic tones.
Answer me that Where shall take it?'
He could not answer her query, and he
looked as if he wished his parents had
never married. Her stern gaze never re-
Taxed, nor did she make any attempt to
accept his offer, but went on: "And even

Good words for georgia.

DR. ]. c. Curryer of Mankato, Mimi.
who recently visited this state for the pur-
pose of investigating it's agricultural and
horticultural resources and advantages
has published in his home paper, and in
other papers of the northwest. a long
letter giving a sketch of his observations
in Georgia. He is greatly pleased with
the country, and predicts a great future
for it. He found South Georgia, so he
says, particularly adapted to fruit grow
ing, and possessing an equitable climate,
good water, and other desirable things,
which new homeseekers always look out
for when they make a change. These
facts are, of course, not strange to US, who
live here; but they are not so we'll known
in the far northwest DR.. Curryer's pub
lication, therefore, will enlighten those of
his fellow citizens who contemplate re-
moving from the northwest, and may send
many of them in this direction.
Shortly after Dr. Curryer visited Geor-
gia it was published in the Morning News
and other Georgia papers, in dispatches
from Atlanta, that he had made some
sighting remarks with regard to the
state agricultural department. It trans
pires that the report did the doctor an in
justice, and was based upon a misunder-
standing Of a conversation which he had
in Rome with young man whom he did
not know was a newspaper correspondent.
That he intended no criticism is made
plain in the notes upon his trip which he
has published. Such visitors as he should
be made always welcome to Georgia, and
newspaper correspondents should be very
careful not to pervert what they say in
hunting for good stories"

That KentucIsy Reporter.

1t was a Kentucky reporter who request
ed the Pullman conductor to awaken Pres
ident Mckinley AT O'Clock in the morning
so that he. the Kentucky reporter, could
interview the chief magistrate, says the
Cleveland Plain-Dealer.
There is an honest sort of frankness
about this Kentucky reporter that is
warming to the heart. In his conscien-
tious desire 10 favor his clientele with the
latest vocal emanation of official great
ness, he puts himself to much trouble and
some humiliation. 1t is no easy matter for
q Kentucky reporter to split the night
in twain and 90 on duty at a. m. 1t is
still harder for him to cringe and bow be-
fore a sleeping car conductor. This par
ticular Kentucky reporter-Whose name,
alas, is lost to public ken-did both of
these self-sacridcing acts. He didn't
know that in the effete east, where truth
is but bond slave to sensation, an inter-
view IN which the interviewed cuts no
actual figure is just as good as the old
fashioned sort where the reporter asks and
the questioned one answers. No, he was
fresh, and guileless, and consequently
honest, and he knows no other way to in
terview the President than to rout him
out of bed and shoot his carefully prepar-
ed queries at him.
And did the Kentucky reporter win out
in his conscientious desire to uphold the
traditional dignity of a sadly moth eaten
art? Alas, no. The Pullman conductor
heard his request with poorly concealed
mirth. He did not awaken the President
al a. m. He only went around telling
what a gall magazine the Kentucky repor-
ter was, and otherwise holding him up
to public ridicule.
And this is the modern reward of an am
bilious desire to rise in a noble profession
nd moi fol 1rr 70 he g
President to rise at or about the same
time.
