is only allowed $500 year for this serv-
ice and they may be collected for five
years after they are offered. Some years
ago he offered a reward of Sl00 for the
arrest and conviction of a man who had
committed. according to the sheriff, an
awful murder. Just now comes up a
claimant for the money, but the murder
has so dwndled from awful crime that
he was convicted of on,y mansaughter
and given a year at work for the coun-
ty. Thus the state pays for the recovery
of man that is sent to the service of
the county, so small K his offense against
the laws. This will so a long way to
explain why that sheriff will have hard
time convincing the governor of the
enormlty of any mans crime that he
wants help to catch in the future.
Spoke on Same Theme.
There is a remarkable coincidence in
he fact that Governor Terrell of Geor-
gia and Judge William II. Thomas of
Montgomery, presented the same idea in
Memorial day speeches, that of u monu-
ment to all the dead of the Civil war,
and neither knew that the other was to
talk of It. 1t Is further remarkable
fact that both used the same instance,
that of the monument to Wolfe and
Montcalm, on the plains of Abraham,
erected by the Canadians. The only diff
ference is that Terrell suggested monu-
ment of stone and Thomas one of homes
and care for those who are left.
Governor Terrell, who advanced the
idea of a monument to all who fell in
the conflict from Fort Sumter to Apo
mattox. closed by saying, In his speech
at LAGRANGE: ut is our duty to remem-
Der in love and gratitude the devotion
and sacrifice of the Confederate soldier.
We should do this, not only as those who

well as that Of the Union soldier is the
common heritage of all Americans.
