BURIAL OF IB. MAX ULLMAN.
Albany Daily Herald, May 20th:
The special train from Brunswick, bear
ing the remains ofMr. Max Ullman, who
suicided in that city last Thursday,
arrived at the depot in this city yester
day afternoon at 8:30 o’clock.
The remains were accompanied by a
delegation of Knights of Pvthis and of
B’nai Berth, of Brunswick, from among
whom the pall bearers were selected.
At the depot they were met by another
delegation from the same orders of this
city.
Forming a procession there, which
was a long one, the sad and solem march
to the cemetery was taken up.

The convict lease system ceased to
exist in Arkansas last Saturday night.
The state at that time took charge of
tbe penitentiary and 750 convicts.
The lease system had been in force

the change was made without inci
dent or friction.
When it is known that during the
last 50 years more than 9,000,000
people have emigrated from England,
of whom 10 per cent have returned,
we are not surprised to learn that
one-fourth of the land surface of the
globe is occupied by English speak
ing people.
On the whole, it is fortunate that
the government has not the money
with which to pay for catching the
Chinese and sending them back to

gives time for sober second thought.

The Charleston News sizes the
situation up, briefly but truthfully,
as follows:

Deporting the Chinese is easier said
than done.

office, without giving evidence of

It is a most significant as well as
encouraging signs of the times that
popular attention is everywhere be
ing awakened and directed to that
overshadowing curse of American
politics, the power of the “boss.” It
is an evil which bas grown enormous
ly with the growth of the country,
and with the gradual formation of
the class of professional politicians
of a low type, who follow politics as
a trade, and simply for the sake of
the profit aod power there is in it.

J. R. Dickerson and other heirs of the \
late Robert G. Dickerson, eleven in |
number, some of whom are not yet i
twenty years of age, have recently been ,
informed that lot of land No. 202, on j
which much valuable property in the
city of W ay cross is located, was once
the property of their father, who sold it J
in 1850 to one Redding Young, making :
him a bond for title only. The amount |
of the consideration is not known by !
the heirs, but they claim that no part of j
it was ever paid. Mr. J. R. Dickerson, |
however, is of the opinion that the '
transaction was entered into in good

the rest of hi9 life, through a period of
thirty years, in all of which time he ac-
quiesed in the possession and transfer
by other parties, without filing any ob
jection, or making any return of the
land to the tax receivers of Ware county.
It does appear that if he had any
right under any kind of a title that he
abandoned it during his life time, and
tljat his heirs would engage in a chase
after a “will o’ the wisp” should they
undertake to build up and establish a
claim to the land now.
If the claim had existed in good shape
at the time of the old gentleman’s de
mise the heirs conld expect to recover
under the law’ which keeps alive and
protects the interests of miner heirs for
seven years after they arrive at the age
of twenty-one. In this case all of the
heirs have reached their majority
but one, and it is thought that no
advantage will be gained by his minority
as the transfers acquiesed in by the fa
ther in his life time will be a sufficient
guarantee to innocent purchasers and
present holders of the property.
The Methodist Sunday School Picnic at
Johnson’s Park.
Last Saturday was a red letter day in the
history of the young folks of the Metho-
odist Sunday School. Supt. Stanton
had everything arranged in his own in
imical way for a pleasant day, and was
assisted by Capt. L. Johnson, who
placed the entire train service of the
Waycross Air Line Railroad at the dis
posal of the committee. Transportation
was made easy and the picnic was a
success from start to finish. Scholars
and patrons of the School to the num
ber of five hundred turned out with well j
filled baskets and the day was spent on
the pleasant grounds of the park in vari
ous ways to suit the inclinations of the
happy children—sporting on the green,
romping on the river, and games under
the pavillion furnished the basis of
amusements which diverged in various
lines to suit the age and sex of the par
ticipants. The booths were well sup
plied with ice cream, lemonade and
such other things as tempt the palates
of the average picnickers on a warm day.
Dinner was spread at 1 o’clock, and all
present indulged to their hearts’ con
tent ina genuine Wesleyan repast. Home
was reached at 6 30 with no accident to
mar the pleasures of the day.
Beautiful Peaches.
If any one doubts that this is a fine
peach country, we would be glad to
have them step in at C. C. Grace Co’s
dry goods department to-day, and take a
look at a beautiful bunch of this deli
cious fruit which they will find hanging
conspicuously in front. They were
raised by Mr G. F. Wooten of this city.
One hundred crates of such fruit would
be worth, in northern markets, away up
in the hundreds of dollars, and shows
what can be' done in Waycross. We
do not know what variety of peach the
cluster belongs to, but the scent is Very
familiar. Drop in at Grace’s and get a
delicate smell, the cost will be compara
tively small.
