SOCIETY NOTE.
(Kokono
Tribune's Cor. I

Georgia Paper.)
A pleasing lynching was enjoyed
at a park near this city last evening.
The hosts were in full mask costume.
The sheriff laughingly turned over the
prisoner when courteOusly requested
10 do so. and the party, in high spirits,
caroling joyous songs. rode 10 the
beautiful hillside selected for the
touching ceremony.
The occasion was all that could be
desired. Never has the chiValry of
the old south shown to better advan-
tage. Always eager TO do anything
that would help the advancement of
Georgia most of the population of
the central part Of the state turned
out for the event
There was a pleasing diversion
when. before the rope was stretched,
Col. Blank. with true southern cour-
tesy, kicked the prisoner in the face.
The colonel was heartily cheered, but
took rs honors mOdestly. He hoped,
ne said, he knew the duties OF a true
son of the south, and he would i'll
wear the name of southern gentleman
il he did not occasionally perform
some little act TO deserve il.
The prisoner was allowed 10 hang
for five hours, so that all could en-
Joy the spectacle becoming, alas: too
rare in our fair state. Special ar
engagements were made by the COM
mittee to allow the children TO feast
their eyes TO the full on the happy
sight. so that the little minds might
be brought To real appreciation OF
the honor ard dignity and chivalry
of dear old Georgia.
At last the occasion, as all others
must, came 10 an end. The body was
taken down. the face was duly stamp
ed on. and the guests departed 10
their pleasant homes. hoping 10 see
many happy returns Of the day

AFTERMATH OF THE WAR.

n
\ writer on financial topics calls
war which is not generally taken into
consideration. The heritage of hate
that is being stored up between the
belligerents is destined TO play an i'm
pOrtant part I'm their affairs long af-
ter the contest of arms has been
closed. The sentiments that are be-
ing aroused and the animosities that
are engendered will figure in trade
balances long after peace has been
declared.
That feeling. of course. is two
edged and Will work both ways. IL

be sure. but viii be most Injurious 10
the one with most to lose. The
writer has compiled statistics 10 show
that Germany will be the heaviest
loser I'm the exchange Of resentments.

allies tomorrow, he estimates that il
would sustain a loss of $1,000. 0OO,-

have been embittered By the fighting.

heaviest exporter among the list OF
nations at war. But some of the best
customers are fighting on her side

SOUTH IN THE SADDLE.

Three years ago congress apprOpri-
ated half a million dollars TO be used
in improving country roads on rural
routes. the money to be expended
under the supervision Of the federal
good roads bureau and the state 20
put up 81 for every 81 of federal
money. The money was in effect a
bonus TO the builders of state and
county roads. A report just given out
shows that the beneficiaries of this
appropriation are thirteen southern
states and three northern states, which
is circumstantiaI evidence of the fact
that the south is in the saddle"

THE GROUCHY GUARDsMAN.
Lafayette Courier.)


Occasionally the national guards
man with a perpetual crouch makes
his presence in the community felt.
He thinks that members of the or
ganiZed militia lack encouragement.
He feels that the guardsmen are unap-
preciated and makes himself believe
that he should enjoy civil privileges
withheld from otner men. Admitting
that our militia men are not given
quite as much opportunity TO enter
the regular army as they might be
and granting that there are occasion
al cases OF mistreatment there is lit
tie reason TO believe that the grouchy
guardsman fairly represents the
states soldiers. He is an exception
and we sometimes doubt if he is half
so discontinued as he pretends TO be.
The only reward of the guardsman
is the knowledge that he effectively
serves mis- state and his country He
is looked to for the performance of
heroic duty in behalf of his country
when it needs help. He belongs TO
the first line of its defense. He is
not regarded by his fellow citizens
as a. ward to be cared for or as a
parasite. They look up to him and
thoroughly appreciate the work he is
doing. With the experimental work
the United States army has under
taken with a view to forming an eff
fective reserve he has no concern al
all. He is not of the reserve but of
the first line. If he cOmprehends the
responsibility placed upon him he is
striving with all his might i'm his
hours of military practice 10 fit him
self TO bear it. He is inspired by
a patriotic pride in his country and
a desire to serve it. Men of that sort
soon become good soldiers and strive
TO fit themselves TO be officers. The
few discontinued guardsmen may oc-
casiOnally render good service To their
comrades by complaining of real
grievances. but as a general thing
they are bOres. A man who is always
wondering what there is in militia
service for him" would be better of
out of the service. and there are so
few men of that quality in the ma
tiOnal guard at present that their
withdrawal would be scarcely missed.

what he saw:
