"Maurehania, land of the sunset other
wise known as Morocco. is In itself instruct
with romance compact of mystery. and pic
turesque, distinctive charm, but 1t Is not
for this reason that Germany and France
came near going to war. 1t is because in
all northern Africa Morocco remains the
one corner yet UNEMPLOYED, uninfluenced,
Incorporated by civilization. Further
more, both strategically and physically, 1t
must at once be acknowledged of far
greater importance In the eyes OF EUROPEAN
nations than any part Of the world" -
This is the opinion of well-informed
prominent diplomats of the diplomatic
Moroccan situation expressed in The Star.
IT Is discussion which has hitherto been
avoided with decision by the foreign repre-
sentatives in Washington Those whose
Views are quoted passed several years In
Morocco both as travellers and as officials.
and their knowledge of the situation is un-
usually calculating. Said one:
Morocco's Intrinsic value no one can
guess, beyond the obvious fact that 1t is
abundantly fertile, richly endowed as to
climatic coast. hill and river, and, that
rarest of all things today. a virgin land.
unravaged by the miner and no more than
idly worked by the agriculturist. As the
sranary of some overcrowded European
country, 1t were hard to find the equal of
Morocco. Gold, silver. anthony, copper
IRON, tneSe are among the treasures She Is
known to hold in her bosom, stores upon
which the avaricious eye of Europe Is cast
But the question of Morocco and the
hope that 1t may be settled successfully
and peacefully has greatly influenced the
French colonial party in its attitude toward
the understanding between Germany and
France. The latterwas materially strength
ened by King Edwards visit to Paris and
President Loubets visit to London about
three years ago.. 1t may be said without
fear of contradiction that the question
which will be armed at Algeciras Is about
already settled in the minds of the partic-
ipants at the conference, so far as the
Franco-German sides are concerned

"The Telegraph may now dodge and squrm
and misrepresent our sentiments and express
sions, and it may take the pledge with the in
tention of disregarding it two years from now;
but the day will come. and that shortly when
the Telegraph will regret that it encouraged
and defended the state dem ocratic executive
com mittee in it's partisan and revolutionary ac-
ton in making that future loyalty pledge and
forcing it down the threats of loyal and true
Georgia white democrats.
"zh0t pledge rule zU0s the work of

purpose is not forestolled by the de-

crafts OF Georgia in the approaching

The Coffee County executive committee offers
the following gentle rebuke to the state COM
mittee.
Voters not willing to take the pledge as
prescribed by the state com mittee for the
state primary may vote for representative and
county officers by detaching that part of the
ballot covered by the state primary. Persons
voting under such conditions pledge themselves
to the nominees for representative and county
officers In this election only, and all white voters
regardless of past political utilization will be per-
mitted to vote and cordially invited to do So"

The judge had his patience sorely
tried by lawyers who wished to tall
and by men who tried to evade jury
service. Between Hypothetical ques
ions and u it seemed as If they
never would get to the actual trial OF
the case. So when the puzzled little
German who had been accepted by
both sides jumped up the Judge was
exasperated.
"Shudge!" cried the German.
What is it?" demanded the Judge.

You can't" retorted the Judge. "Sit

But, shudge," persisted the Ger.

the judge. "Sit down."

"Oh, l fought it vas a bad box that
people gets in sometimes"
No" said the Judge; the bad box
is the prisoners box"
But, Shudge," persisted the little
German, Il don't speak goot English
You won't have to speak at ALL
said the Judge. "Sit DOWN."
The little German pointed at the
lawyers to make his last desperate
plea.
"Shudge," he said, 81 can't make

1t was the Judges chance to get

Edwin Curd of Fulton, Mo-, tells
an interesting story of the way in
which the %proprletors OF the old West,

county, took care that bushwhackers
should not get away with their gold
deposits in the civil war. In an old
tobacco warehouse in Fulton sta ads a
big iron safe. 1t was bought by the
bank and SHIPPED by water from st.
Louis in 1856. 1t weighs three tons
and a half and cost $1,000. 1t PLAYED
a leading part in Galloway couSty
financial matters during the civil var
and at one time, in 1862, contained
$50, 900 in gold. Conditions were fery
unsettled and bands of p%redatorr sol.
diers and bushwhackers were rrowl.
ing ver the country in every direc-
ton committing many outrages, as
well as fighting with one another. The
oficlals of the bank of which Mr.. Curd
was president, got nervous for fear
one of these bands should make a
raid on the town, crack the safe and
take all their gold. The directors held
otNtl al SOuo ulldllbub anu II was ut
last agreed that Mr.. Curd, Colonel
w. T. Smell and Ed Parker should
make a secret disposition of the treas
ure. One mar suggested that it be
buried in a haystack, but tuls scheme
was rejected.
81 ventured the idea" says Mr..
Curd, that we drop 1t to the bottom
of a well back of John Bartley's store
it stood where the Adams block is
now and the well was on the west end
of the lot-and my suggestion was
adopted. | wanted to throw the gold
into the well loose, but the other two
thought 1t best to put 1t in sacks
for fear 1t would get so scattered that
we would not find it all.
81 told them that l had separated
the gold in its raw state from the
dirt in California and felt sure that
| could find $50 gold pieces in what
came out of a well here at home.
But they had their way, and the $50
900 was divided into several parts and
each part wrapped in a sack and tied
securely and put into the well. There
it stayed for about two years and
when the terrors of the war had about
subsidized and it was thought safe to
raise the treasure we tried to bring 1t
up by attaching hooks to the sacks
and hoisting it to the surface. But
that would not work, for the sacks
had rotted and the weight of the coin
caused them to break and, after ali,
the water had to be taken out and
the loose coins gathered together
again. The secret regarding where
the money was hidden was not known
to anyone but the three who placed II
In the well-not eve by the other
directors of the bank. When the well
scheme was first preached it was said
that the bushwhackers might in some
way hear of its being there and would
dip the water out and secure the
booty, but I told them that while a
gang was dipping all that water we
could surely get posse enough togeth-
er to make matters uncomfortable for
them."-Kansas City Journal.
