4 THE WAYCROSS HERALD, SATURDAY, JULY i. 1893. • - 1 8ATURDAY, JULY 1, 1893. Tbe Mississippi is again out of its banks near New Orleans. A negro man fishing from the Cum berland route dock yesterday after noon landed a seven foot shark of the man-eating variety. He gave a pret ty lively fight and attracted mncb at tention,—Brunswick Times. Tbe time for the extra session of congress has been set for September. Julia Force has been acquitted on the ground of insanity. She goes to the insane asylum. There are at the present time in the United States 110 female lawyers. They are safely distributed, however. The financial bottom continues to fail out in tbe West, but tbe South continues fairly solid. * The sale of the Central does not surprise any one that we hear talk about it. Cholera advices from Mecca show that were 999 deaths from that dis ease yesterday. ‘ • The Gate City Bank pays off its depositors to-day. There will be happy hearts in Atlanta. The largest hotel in tbe world is at Rome. The smallest is ten feet Bquare, and is on the Isle of man. Earthquakes are very small affairs when Atlanta gets on the war-path with a new sensation. Tbe way to get a crowd at the World’s Fair on Sunday is to adver tise that the show is closed and then open a side door. Professor Briggs preached to 7,000 people last Sunday. If he has been suspended it is evident that the peo ple are willing to give him a hearing. Say what you please about Atlan ta’s sensations, one thing is certain— it cannot be claimed that they lack variety. Never in the history of the country were there so many bank failures. To mention them all would be tire some to tbe reader. If Mr. Cleveland knew how badly some of the boys down in South Georgia needed a little office, and bow necessary it is to keep peace in the family that some objectionable parties be removed, be would cer tainly stir his stumps a little. One thing peculiar about the pres ent financial panic, is the fact that rich men are getting the worst of it, while tbe poor men, or those in moderate circumstances, who are doing a business on their own money, appear to be sailing along all right. The women are bridging the bloody chasm for us in their own gracious way. Mrs.'Davis and Mrs. Grant are together at Cranstcn’s-on-the Hudson, MissWinnie and Mrs. Philip H. Sheridan are at the World’s Fair. Atlanta Journal. The collapse of tbe Ford theatre in Washington forms an admira ble text for the republican fourth of July orators, just to illustrate the wreck and ruin that this democratic administration is' bringing upon the old soldiers, A Texas man was ^ tried for the murder of a neighbor who was miss ing, and had been identified in the person of a dead man on the high ways. He admitted tbe crime and was sent to the penitentiary. When the self-confessed murderer reached the penitentiary he found his supposed victim, and also one of the jurors who bad tried him in the peni tentiary. It is a puzzling case; but it shows that the courts are trying to do their work in Texas. AMONG OpR EXCHANGES. Scarlet fever has appeared in Macon and the Gate City is much excited. It begins to iook as if the real troubles in Brunswick had just begun. The well known furniture house of A. .1. Miller & Co., Savannah, is * in the hands of a receiver. There are 9,000 more saloons in the United States than schools. This is a good showing for the saloons. The meeting of the ordinaries of the state will be held at the Kimball House in Atlanta July 12th. The Cartersville bank has been re opened. Cartersville is to be congratu lated. There doesn’t seem to be any doubt that the coming woman is going to prac tice dentistry. The fact that the win ner of the most distinguished honors in the graduating class at the Boston Den tal College this year is a woman points to this conclusion. A Texas murderer was making a speech on the scaffold the other day, dis cussing the issues of the day. When he got down to the free coinage of silver the sheriff jerked the lever and the rope did up the rest of the speech. That sheriff knew his duty and had the cour age to perform it. COL. BILL MOORE DROPS DEAD. The Well-Known and Popular Augusta EdltorSuddenly Expires. Augusta, June 28.—To-night at 7 clock, as Col. Bill Moore, the popular editor of the Evening News, was walking along the street he suddenly dropped to tbe ground and died instantly. Heart disease is supposed to be the cause.

It is to be hoped they will put a stop to this bursting bnsi- The Atlanta Constitution brings Senator Colquitt forward for re-elec tion and intimates that he has homestead on that position. The Times supported tbe Senator in his last race, when tbe Constitution op posed him, but we think we shall support a South Georgia man this time—Valdosta Times. That's right, Brother Pendleton. South Georgia has just as good offi cial timber as any section, and we think it is high time she was using some of it.—Tatnall Journal. A citizen of. New York committed suicide the other day on account of the heat. He said he was hunting a cooler climate and thought be had made his calculations correctly. Chief Sanders sold the Defiance Reel to Waycross, and shipped it yesterday afternoon. Our Waycross neighbors will have a dandy reel com pany.—Brunswick Times. The year is now only half gone, but in that brief period it has crowded enough horrors and casualties to mark it as one of tbe memorably dis astrous of the century’s last decade. A great deal of space of the daily papers during tbe past month has been devoted to bank failures. “The best banking system tbe world ever ■saw,” seems to be undergoing a se vere test. The Charleston News and Courier ■publishes a sketch of the mills of South Carolina, bat, strange to say, -omits mention of the state gin mill out of which Governor Tillman ex pects'to make haif a million a year. The agricultural department at 'Washington wants a clerk that can apeak six languages and _parts his hair in tbe middle. Here is an open ing for South Georgia. -Brunswick Times. - ■ ■ ’ It is almost an assured fact that Senator A. H. Colquitt will'be in tbe race for re-election next year.

Rev. W. F. Lloyd. Rev. W. F. Lloyd, pastor of first Methodist church, Fort Worth, Texas, a brother to the late C. B. Lloyd of Brunswick, was in the city last night and went down ■ to Brunswick to-day. Rev. Mr. Lloyd was presiding elder of the Waycross district some years ago, during which time he resided in this city. He was one of the most popular ministers who ever lived in Waycross, and was universally loved by all our people, both in the church and out of it He has many warm friends in the Magic City who sympathize deeply with him in his sad bereavement, and who are pray ing the Divine comforter to give him just the support he needs in this dark hour of affliction.

Washington, June 29.—There is not the slightest ground for the report cur rent that au extra session of congress will be called to begin Aug. 1. The president's decision has not been and will not be changed. Congress will meet in September, and not before. Officials very near to the president believe that the repeated rumors sent out fr6m New York to the effect that an earlier month than September is likely to be named for the assembling of congress will have a prejudicial ef fect on the policy of the president and his advisers with regard to important public questions. The friends of the president fear that these stories may lead to a misappre hension of what may be expected when congress does meet. While the repeal of the Sherman law would appear to be reasonably well assured, nobody famil iar with the situation and with parlia mentary methods expects that congress will act on the subject immediately upon assembling. The financial ques tion will be presented at once for con sideration, and in a way that will give it importance over all other questions. The president's message to the special session will probably deal with that question alone. But several weeks most elapse before the house is organized and the committees are ready for business, and for that length of time at least the silver question will have to wait. Then the senate will take up the fight, and the senate is slow. At the cabinet meeting the matter was discussed and it was pointed out that little more than two months re mained before congress would convene in extra session, and during the inter vening time the silver lots purchased would be only 9,000,000 ounces, a com paratively small amount in view of the previous purchases. That the best way to deal with the question was to await the course of events for two months longer was generally agreed to, and it was with this view that the meeting terminated. The president himself is under no de lusion as to what is before him or the country. He is greatly encouraged by the change of sentiment throughout the country and he believes that the law will be repealed. But he is not count ing on an abject surrender by the mends of free coinage. He realizes that they will contest the parliamentary ground stubbornly and prevent a prompt response to the demand for re peal. He and bis advisers think it best, therefore, that these facts be taken into account by the country in consider-, ing and arranging for. the future. Comptroller Eckels notes a'material iucrease in the demand for currency daring this month over that for May. Orders for new national bank note* on bonds daring May were only $&>G,00<». Orders so far received during this month foot up |3,150,000. This. Mr. Eckels thinks, indicates an improve ment iu the financial situation. A Chens* of Sentiment. Unquestionably there seems to bo a change of sentiment in some portions of the country upon the silver question. This, fact is emphasized by the change of tactics which the advocates of free coinage, who have their headquarters in this city, have inaugurated. On F street, near the patent office, there has been for the past fiye years a head quarters instituted by the free coinage men. From that point they have sent out literature and by other m is have con ducted an aggressive war*..!-* in favor of silver. They have nevsr been on the defensive until now. From the head quarters from now on will be conducted a campaign to prevent any legislation which will retrograde silver in the least. Thew~ will send oat documents as of old, and will labor among members of the house and senate as they have since the opening of their headquar ters, but all will be done upon a differ ent line. The attitude which they will now take will be defensive rather than ag gressive. The aim now is to hold wuat they have, unless they can get some thing in exchange for it. The'senti ment which has been worked up in fa vor of the repeal of the Sherman law has in it no spirit of compromise what ever. It demands the unconditional repeal of the law. This the silver men will not consent to. It may come about that the next congress will repeal that law. If it does, it will only be after a very hard fight. The silver men are in earnest and are pugnacious. They will not give in.until they are fairly whip ped. Their change of front from the aggressive to the defensive is, however, a very significant maneuver, and one which reflects the effect which the war on silver has already made. What The Star Say*. The Washington Star has the follow- “The free silver leadership in the next congress has already been arranged. Mr. Bland of Missouri will again come forward in the house and as chairman of the committee on coinage, weights and measures, a position the silver men are confidently claiming for him, sound the keynote of that ride of the contro versy. Meanwhile he will hare been pn toe stump and in his .travels have familiarized himself with many of his new colleagues. “But the senate is the main hope of the silver men, and there they wul be led by Mr. Morgan of Alabama. Every thing is staked upon his leadership, which iu the past on the silver question has been energetic and aggressive. “Mr. Morgan is a strong debater and an unusually well informed man. In fact the wonder has frequently been expressed that so able and so widely read a man should be found ou the sub ject of finance id company he does not meet on any other great public ques tion. But he is an advocate of the free coinage of silver and heretofore has taken the most extreme .ground on that subject. He led the opposition last winter in the contest which resulted in the defeat of the. motion for the repeal of the Sherman act, and his language in the senate on that occasion furnishes the basis for the expectation that ha will oppose that proposition. A Few More Appointment*. Washington, June 29.—The presi- uent has made the following appoint ments: To Be Conatals. H. Clay Armstrong. Jr., of Alabama, at Grenable, France; John B. Laguaite, of Louisiana, at Martinique, West In dies; Samuel Thanhauser. of Georgia, at Matamoraa, Mexico; William C. Em met, of New York, at Au-la-Chapelle, Germany. To He Postmasters. Joseph H. Adams, at Ozark, Ala., vice E. W. Griffith removed; H. F. Crosby, at Water Valley, Miss., vice M. D. Fly removed. W. N. Bragaw, of Alabama, has been appointed chief of division in the sixth auditor's office of the treasury depart ment Cleveland’s Summer Vacation. Washington, June 29.—-The time of President Cleveland’s departure from Washington for his summer home in Bazzard T s Bay, Mass., ha* not been defi nitely set, but he will probably leave Washington the first half of J uly. It iscer- tain he will remain at the White House for another week and there is a likeli hood that he will accept an invitation of Senator Camden, to spend a few days fishing in West Virginia, in about two weeks. Should Mr. Cleveland, however, conclude to go to Gray Gables before the time set for the fishing trip, it is hardly probable that he will visit Sena tor Camden. Matt Here Better Men. New York, Jane 29.—Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle has decided the Custom-House officials to exercise more caution than heretofore in the appoint ment of subordinates. The number of cases of incbmpetency brought to light by the Fairchild commission is said to be the reason for Secretary Carlisle’s action. THE CONFEDERACY’S LESSON-. She Tan jilt the World a Plan of Naval Warfare Never Excelled. Richmond, June 29.—Gen. Dabney H. Maury, in an interview on the lesson of the Victoria calamity, says: “The southern confederacy, without a sea port or navy, taught the maritime na tions, through the exploits of the Vir ginia - (Merrimac) in Hampton Roads and of the Tennessee in Mobile bay, the power of ironclads. Then she tanght the weakness of the ironclads when tor pedoes defend the harbor. After these lessons it seems an infatu ation to continue the construction of armored ships, but still it goes on and with increasing disastrous results. In seeking to float armour which no cannon caupenetra .e, the limits of bouyancy have long been passed, and unless we can substitute for iron some material as light as wood and as hard as iron, we may as wisely return to the wooden ships. “In the course of two hours the Hart ford received over 70 shots in her hull, many from 10-inch and 8-inch cannon, bnt still she sailed and fonght with no visible impairment of her buoyancy or activity. In reasonably smooth seas it is easy and quick work to stop shot- holes in wooden hulls, even when below the water line. The Merrimac did great damage to a hostile fleet. The Monitor, after escaping from her by running into shoal water, made no other hostile ef fort and went down off Hatteras in a gale of wind. In Charleston harbor the ironclads fared badly. The great iron sides were struck and disabled by Lieu tenant Glassell; the Keokuk was sunk by the guns of Fort Sumter and tire gallant Lientenant Dixon of the Twen ty-first Alabama sank, with his toroedo boat. David, and the fine covotte Housa- tonic. “But it is not alone in war the ships have been so unfortunate. The dread ful catastrophe of tbe Captain, about 20 years ago, was a signal but unheeded warning. Then the Grooser Kerfnrt went down with over 400 men and of ficers, of whom not one escaped. The destruction of the Victoria is the last of the impressive lessons this unnatural naval architecture gives us. “There is not now living in the Eng lish navy an officer who was ever in battle with civilized people. We don’t count Admiral Seymour’s bombardment and destruction of the most interesting and most helpless city in the world, a naval combat which should cause no pride in those who were present or give them any valuable experience whenever they have to deal with such men as those who fought under Buchanan or under Farragut. “Already we hare a navy to be proud of. In the event of war we could ex pand it to meet any emergency.- We might not quickly be able to build many great ships like the Captain or the Victoria, but we could soon equip » fleet of little, buoyant, fast sailing, bandy vessels, which, with their mg guns, could lie off and pound snob as tbe victoria to destruction. And a great advantage of these cruisers will be that young men, with their career yet to win^would command them.” BOOK AND JOB PRINTING NEATLY EXECUTED AT THIS OFFICE. 4®=- Prompt and Cheap, and satisfaction guaranteed.
