favor of Ben Birmans and bar-rooms.
The Rev. Davis, il he votes for him

the whiskey men. It woo Id be well for
brothers Davis, Morton and other “dry”
third party men to. think of this before
they vote. Will they do it ?

Saturday. *
Governor Northen ami the entire *tate

Wednesday by at least 40,000 majority.
Mr. Cleveland’s letter of acceptance is
too fine a document to divide honors
this week with the temperance cause,
will appear next week.
Mr. D. Irwin, chairman of the state
committee of the People's Party, put his
foot in it when he arraigned the govern
or of Georgia for inciting the democrats
to a disturbance of Gen. Weaver’s pro
posed meeting in Atlanta.
1 "resident Harrison has issue^ a proc

people of the United State*, it being
the 400th anniversary of the discovery of
America by Columbus.
Ross Buck’s manifesto to the republi
cans of the state to vote the people’)
party iicket will have the effect of bring
ing many Georgia democrats back into
the rank* of their old party, and some of

Northen, regardless of it.
Weaver ami Lease are having a quiet
time in North Carolina. Thaddeus E.
Horton, who came into fame on the
Pulaski affidavits, is still a self constitu
ted member of the combine and daily

countenance of the presidential candi
date.
And Dr. Pickett got an uncomplimen
tary quietus from Col. Hobh* when he
made hb demand for third party repre
sentatives among the managers at (he
poll. Col. Hobbn very properly informed
him that that matter was in the hands
of the county officials, and as for him
self he would not confer with Dr. Pickett
until that gentleman could make a bet
ter record for himself.
Waycross has been built up and proa*
pend aaa dry town and should not now
be cursed and stunted in its growth fay
faur-rooms, It b essentially a railroad
towp with important railroad interests
now located here and others in contem
plation. Whiskey disorganises and de-
moralises labor, and we are not surprised
to learn that in this contest the prohibi
tion side has the good wixhc* of the offi-
ciabof the railroads centering in Way-
cross. Other industries are springing up
and should be protected. Every good
ritisru of town and country, white and
colored, who favors sobriety, peace, pros
perity and happy homes, sad who would
not have our people taxed for increased
expenses of the jail and courts shunld
vote for Ool Wilson.
i the little
city by the sea last Tuesday and for
few hour* Newcastle and other streets,
lay under three fleet of water. Much
damage was dona to merchandise^ the
street-car tracks and the shell boulevard.
While the injury to property b deplored
Mayor Ooboo considers that much bene
fit will accrue to the city from the cleans
ing of the streets and sewers.
We are in favor of the city directory.
It will enable the Herald to find out
the abode of some of our chronically de
linquent subscribers, and the unfortunate
Herald boy who carries around bills
will know “where he is sL”
THAT PRESS MAX.
"The third party managers were wise,
Mr. Wearer, in hiding you out nt Way-
cross to begin with. They ought to have
kept your speech-making confined to
Box-Ankle, Beaver Dam, Jug Tavern,
and Buzzards' Roost—Savannah Press.
We have never wended our way to
Jug Threra, nor sought rest in Buziardf
Root, therefore the Savannah Press man
haa the advantage of ns.
The /V» man must have been unduly
under the influence of the first,
yet reesvered from the soporific influen
ces of the second when he turned his
inverted telescope on Waycross, the
Magic City and the pride of Wiregrass
Georgia.
The From man, althoogh he acknowl
edges to being present during General
Weaver’s speech in Waycrom, where
hundred and seventy-five good demo
crats were assembled—the other twenty-
five in the audience teing third party
men-congratulates Mr. Weaver’s friends
on thus “hiding him out in Waycross,’
obscure little hamlet, like to “Box-Ankle,
Bearer Dam, Jug Tavern and Buzzards
Roost."
It b not necessary to discuss the size
of Waycrom as seen through the vision
of the /Vow man, for many men, especi
ally newspaper reporters in election
times, have devious optics, but we would
kindly, remembering his evidently frail
nature, point out a little inconsistency
in hb writings.
On the 23th he says it would bare
been to the advantage of the thinl party
to have kept Mr. Weaver in obscure
towns like Waycross.
Then on the 28th he tells us that the
third party will get a jMilitical lift
through Mr. Weaver’s visits to Macon,
Atlanta, etc., due to the rough treatment
be received there and the capital he will
make out of it in the North and West.
He is placed in the rather peculiar
position of affirming that whether Mr.
Weaver went to small towns or large
cities hb, the third party, got the ben
efit.
Rut however small Waycross may ap
pear to the eyes of the Savannah Press
r good citizens are satisfied wjth
her record m the Weaver matter. Way
crom, insignificant as the Press man
would make her out, enjoy* the distinc
tion of being the one town in Georgia to
accord her political foes a quiet, respect
ful hearing.
Tommy—Can w« play at keeping
store in here, mamma t Mamma (who
lias a. headache)—Certainly, but you
must keep very quiet. Tommy—Well,
•’ll pretend we don’t advertise.—Bran
don Bucksaw. -
Surely that man who b the father of
those bright boys will not vote for bar-
%. For the sake of bb children he
will cast hb vote for temperance.

possible. He dosed with an eloquent
appeal to all who valued the fair name
of our beautiful city, its churches, school*
homes and solid business growth, ami
who would not have labor demoralised
and disorganised, to rally at the polls on

ANTI-BAR-ROOM RALLY.
A Urge and Jenthusiastic meeting was
held at the Opera house on Thursday
night the 22d presided over by Hon.
Warren Loti The dirine blessing was
invoked by Rev. J. M. Marshall when
Judge J. L. Sweat was Introduced and
ably discussed the pending issues. He
explained that in view of the position he
held he had refrained from speaking up
on mere political questions but that the
proprieties did not require him to keep
quiet in thb matter which rose above
party politics and vitally affected the
morab, good order, peace and tranquility
of the community. He showed how the
issue to bring bar-rooms back into Way
crom and Ware county had been made
the controlling question in the election
fora representative and could only be
suecesfully met and defeated by the elec-'
tioo of CoL Leon A. Wilson, the temper
ance candidate. He then gave the focta
and figures showing that Waycrom had
been more prosperous as a dry town than
any other town or city in the state; that
large numbers of our best citizens had
investments here
k and school ad-
of bar-rooms,
and to maintain our enviable position
and continue our ouwanl growth, the
blighting cone of liquor traffic should
be kept from our midst. That while
some liquor was bought and drank here,
the quantity and. eyib resulting therefrom
were small compared to what it would be
if we had bar-rooms, and while its use
