THE WAYCROSS HERALD, SATURDAY, JULY 8, 1893. SATURDAY, JULY 8,1898. Ur. Criip spoke st the great Tam many meeting in New York Tuesday The old Astor mansion in New York was reeently sold for $290,000. A knitting factory is being built in Uarietta. A quarter of a million people took >n the big fair on the 4th. Capt- Frnden of Eatonton. the old est postmaster in the United States, died on the 3d inst. Atlanta's chatauqua opened with a grand free concert on the night of the Fourth. The Macon News says “Congress man Turner’s senatorial boom is grow ing.” The Paris riot is getting to be a serious matter. The time has come for the Frenchman to bubble over. We are Daly GratefaL The press in South Georgia are mani festing considerable interest in the pro position of the Enquirer-Son for united action to obtain State and Federal polit ical recognition for this section. The ball grows.—Columbus Enquirer-Sun. The kindly interest manifested by the Enquirer-Sun io South Georgia has been duly noted and is highly ap preciated in this section. If a few more of the big dailies north of the dead line were as much inclined to do justice as they are to demand it, quite a different state of affairs might exist in this section. The Enquirer- Sun is the first of the dailies in the northern portion of the state to come to our rescue, and plead our cause. The press and the people of South Georgia will please make a mem orandum of this fact. In the readjustment of salaries of postmasters the Marietta postoffice salary wes reduced from 82,000 to $1,900. This country is big enough and free enough, and this little financial em- barassment is only temporary. That is we hope so. It is. thought that the hot weather or the hot water will make a good many congressmen sick, when the silver question comes up. The “fence” and “no fence” con test in Chatham county yesterday was carried by the “fence” party by 1000 majority. OURSELVES AND NEIGHBORS. Wasting Time. The press of the South is wasting much valuable time writing up “the coming bitter campaign.” We see no necessity for attempting to cross tbe river 'till we reach it. The truth of the matter is that the prognostica tions of bitter strife in thefnture, comes mainly from those who are dis gruntled or dissatisfied with the ad ministration and who have to some extent, lost interest in the party. The straight democracy must fight it out on the old tine, concessions and compromises are weakening and de grading. Let’s have no deserters; If it ever should happen that we must surrender—which God forbid— let’s all go down together. If it be true that tbe time that tries men’s souls is near at hand, let us close up the ranks and stand together firmly, bravely and compactly. Democrats should stick to their platform and sustain the administration. It is wasting time to do anything else. And now we can look forward to the repeal of tbe Sherman law and hope for better times in the future. Tis distance lends enchantment to the view.

Tbe dispatches say the financial clouds are rapidly disappearing. When tbe public believe this tbe problem is solved There is a great deal more fright than danger. Jacksonville is about to enter upon another of her far famed municipal elections. No other city in the union can get up such a political mess as Jacksonville. The latest report from Charleston is to the effect that the city is getting along very well without the state’s whiskey. The average citizen has an ample supply of his own. Wiregrass Georgia is howliog for political recognition. She’s got it but she don’t know it. The Wiregrass gets it but Atlanta enjoys it.—Macon News. The entire gallery of pictures col lected by the late Henry W. Field, of Chicago, estimated to be worth $300,000, hat been presented to. the Chicago Art Institute, by bis widow, Mrs. Thomas Nelson Page. Oscar Wilde is haring himself chisel ed in marble—or in other words he is having a msble statue of himself pre pared so that posterity can observe the peculiar-cut of his calves. Wonder what posterity will care for a fellow who nev er did anything in life nobler than mak ing a fool of himdelf? In our issue of yesterday we stated that Harry Hill had stolen $100,000. We beg bis pardon; be was in jail withBedwine,'and for the time being we got them mixed. Mr. Hill is a nice fellow—he only forged notes for $20,000. The Savannah News says that “Dr Brenner has returned from Brunswick where he went to investigate the yel low fever up the Satilla river.” As the Satilla river point was near sixty miles from Brunswick, he was evi dently satisfied with the investigation ■' previously made by the Brunswick health officer.” Movement of Melons. Melon shipments up to date ore considerably in advance of the same time last.year, but the chances are that shipments will drop off very much this week. It is not likely that this year’s crop will be anything like as large as last year’s. This time last year the seas^.. -«» jmJ. prime, while now it is on the decline. Prices are very low everywhere. One gentleman got returns yesterday from two cars shipped north several days ago. One car did not bring enough to pay freight and the other only netted s few cents over a dollar. Unless prices improve shipments will soon cease, as present prices will not pay the expense of loading. Some thing like a thousand cars were ship ped last week, but this week will fall far shurt of that number, while next week will be still shorter. It is thought that by the fifteenth almost, if not quite the full crop will be marketed. There ■ were shipped June 1st, 116 cars; June 1st, 1692, 54; total up to date including June 1st, 1893, 2,362; same date, 1892. 2,112. It will be seen from the above figures that 250 more cars have been shipped this year than last. . Harry HU1 liberated. Harry Hill, the Atlanta forger, is at last freed from prison. He was liberated last night. His aunt, Mrs. Casey, went on his bond. Here is a man who acknowledges to have stolen nearly $100,000 turned loose upon the world unwbipt of justice. He can now run for office and perhaps be elected. “The Way-cross Herald informs us that Mr. George W. Haines “will he' postmaster at Savannah when the time comes.” Now, if our contemporary will kindly connect its underground wire and tell ns when the time will come,-Sevan, nah will be under obligations to it These indefinite statements are as unsat isfactory as a five-cent ■ lump of ice.”— Savannah News The Herald thinks it has played well its part when it state), with some degree of certainty, that Mr: Haines will get the Savannah plum. It now behooves our influential neighbor, who is on the ground and should know the weak points in the enemy’s fortifications, to go to work, set the time for Mr. Haines to move in, and work to it The Atlanta Herald claims 'that the Gate City has the best banks in the world. ■ The Douglass Breeze is now edited and published by Ward & Paulk. Mr. Sweat has retired.. Charley Hawk, formerly of Boston succeeds Ben McLendon, as editor Of the Thomasville Review. The Albany Herald and the Thom- asville Enterprise gave' their em ployees a holiday on the fourth. Editor Wilson, late editor of the Whigbdm Grit, goes to Cave Springs, Ga., where be will edit two papers. ■ The first of Georgia military to gg into encampment this year will assem ble at Griffin, on the 6th. Some people are so rantankerous about an extra session of congress that they are mad because Cleveland did not call it in 1793; and early in . the year at that.—Thomasville Timer Editor McIntosh, with becoming modesty, and the delicacy due to tbe subject, tells it thus: “It is said that the silver statue of Ada -Behan, at the World’s Fair, couldn’t head sheep in a lane.” “Your uncle, Alfged H. Colquitt,” wishes to be re-elected to the United States Senate. We will put him on notice at once so as not to disappoint him, that South Georgia will furnish the next senator, either in the person of Chas. F. Crisp or Henry. Gv Tur ner.—Albany News. Editor Triplett is getting , warmed up down in Thomasville. Hear him. “We insist that Wiggins, the man who predicted that this would be a year without much of a summer, should be. lyuched. Don’t give him the semblance of a trial. He does not deserve it.” We learn that a colored waiter at Suwanee Springs was drowned there on Saturday night. He and one or two others went down to the spring between 10 and 11 o’clock, and it is supposed from the bruises found on his body that fh jumping into the wa ter he had attack something which stunhed him so badly that, he lost control of himself and drowned. the ehgine^whtoh'"figure^to^l Andrew’s raid during^ the war.

It was a burning, crying shame, when the citizens of Richmond allowed the old Libby prison to be sold and sent to Chicago. Better to have burned it to the ground: Congressman Russell .baa called upon the President' and that worthy has said that he would' provide” for the candidates from South Georgia. Tbe President said that he had an eye on Rev. J. L.' Underwood, of Camilla, and would are that sometbibg good. Now, that's more tike it.

Miss Delilah Wilson, of Wares boro, has been visiting friends in this vicinity, but has returned to her home. Hr. B. S. fisher, of Millwood, paid us a flying visit last Saturday. Satilla river has been on a regulai “third party boom,” which rendered it impassable for a few days, but we are glad to say it has turned democratic, and now for the finny tribe.

R. Robinson & Co., at Wilmington, Del., in .which a part of the funds of the Su preme Lodge were deposited by Supreme Master of Exchequer, & J. Wiley, has doubtless come to the knowledge of a number of members of the jUnk and the Order. From correspondence received at this office, as well as It the office of the Board of Control, it appears that much apprehension has been felt by the Order, especially by the members of the Endowment Rank, for the safety of its funds and the relationship of the moneys of the Supreme Lodge to those of the Rank, 1 therefore deem it a duty to inform the Order generally that the Board of Control have exclusive charge of the funds of the Endowment Rank, which are safely deposited at the depository of that branch of the Order, and that the funds of the Supreme Lodge involved in the failure referred to have no connec tion whatever with those of the Rank. s All moneys received by the Board of Control on account of the Endowment Rank are deposited daily in the Endow, ment Rank deposi^>ry and are secured beyond possibility of ioss. In addition to the security guaranteed by the Na tional Bank of first-class standing and excellent reputation, being one of the designated depositories of the United States, a bond in the sum of $250,000, fully approved as to securities, has been given the Board of Control to secure the Rank against loss. I trust this information will prove suf- ficent to allay all fears for the safety of the funds of the Endowment Rank. The careful and prudent management of the Board of -Control and the ever watchfulnes of its President, Brother J. A. Hinsey, of the affairs of the Rank is an evidence to the Order, not only of the safety of its funds but also of the security and reliability of this great ben eficial feature of our Order, the member, si-ip of which has reached over 32,000, with a total luaucance in. force of seven ty millions of dollars and with a record of having disbursed in death losses over seven and a half million of dollars; in in fact, a branch of the Order guaran- teeing to Pythians the best and most re liable fraternal insurance at less than half the old-time cost and which should receive the hearty support of every member. Fraternally yours, W. W. Blackwell. SupremeChancellor. James A. Bradley Wants the Candle Appendage to His Name Dropped. Asbury Park, July 6.—James A. Bradley, the original proprietor and founder of Asbury Park, has adopted a novel method by which he hopes that the newspaper reporters will refrain from using the word “founder” in con nection with his name. In the office of the Asbury Avenue Pavillion sus pended from the ceiling is a wire waste- paper basket filled with half a hundred watches. A tag bears the following announcement: It reporter* of well known reputation will ascree to ilrop the word •‘founder” from their correspondence, the under signed will give one of the watches here with placed in view. ‘ Original proprie tor” permissible. James A. Bradley. The watches are all stem winders and are good time pieces. Bold tbe Road Responsible.
