THE WAYCROSS HERALD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 12. 1893. 3RtagacmsK Official Qrsaa of Ware Count,. Charl ton County and City of Waycrorr. SATURDAY. AUGUST 12, 1893. FOB UXITED STATES SENATOR, HENRY G. TURNER OF BROOKS. Sockless Jerry received seven votes for speaker. Tlie Morning News of to-day pub lishes a very fine editorial on South ern Congressmen and the silver ques tion. If possible we will reproduce it to-morrow. There are reports of shut-downs of mills and manufactories all over the country. This means that thousands of employes are thrown out of work and thousands of dollars tied up. Earthquakes are shaking up things i little on tbe other side of the globe. John Connell, the white man from Thomas county who so brutally mur dered an old negro near Quitman, has skipped out. He ought to be caught and bung. Tbe silver fight begins in the House to-day. What will be the out come no living man can tell. Tbe President does not want a long session of Congress. Neither does the country. Tbe free coinage men seem to be in tbe ascendancy in Congress, bnt the President will have his say. Tbe forty-eighth annual conven- vention of the Georgia Agricultural Association is is in session at Stone Mountain. Czar Reed received the empty honor of being nominated for Speak er by the defeated republicans. Don’t they die bard. The President’s message is being favorably commented upon by the leading papers of the country, both North and South. The New York Sun calls attention to the fact that periods of great finan cial depression are generally followed by religious awakenings. This shows that the pocket nerve is m close com munication with the soul. The Florida papers are kicking about that state having lost the space allotted to it by the management of the World’s fair. It seems that the space so set apart was not occupied and it was turned over to some other state. The New York World prints a splendid frontispiece of the Presi dent’s cabinet, together with the house and senate representatives in Sunday edition. Prominent among them is our own Henry G. Turner and Bright Ben Russell. South Georgia farmers are not flocking to Texas. They are staying at borne and boarding at the same place. The Southern League Base Ball Association is said to be about bro ken up. Allah be praised! The country will take a rest. We give our readers the President’s message in full to-day. In the mat ter of news tbe Herald proposes to keep up with the procession. Hon. H. W. J. Ham says he had rather be a knot on a bow-legged ne gro’s walking stick than a Washing ton office-hunter. Electricity is now being used to harden brick. We do not understand the process, nevertheless the state ment is correct. The cholera is undoubtedly making rapid progress in Europe. It has become epidemic in several cities of Russia, France and Italy. Tbe Colorado editors repudiate secession bnt continue to swear by Pike’s Peak and the Garden of the Gods that the White Metal shall be recognized. Tbe getting together of the saviors of tbe country at Washington has started a tidal wave of confidence that will inundate the country. Let *er roll. Four hundred Texas school teach ers have gone to the World’s Fair. It is reasonable to suppose that Chicago will now be wiser if not bet ter. Secretary Hoke Smith is earning his salary. It is estimated that his pension policy during the two months of its operation, has resulted in a net saving of $117,000. Tbe number of tramps and unern ployed men in Minnesota and north and south Dakota is estimated at ten thousand. In some instances they have taken possession of small towns and numbers of farm houses have been looted by them. The causes which induce unhappy mortals to commit suicide are innu merable, and they are constantly in creasing. Alabama addect to the list. A young farmer was ploughing a fast horse in the blazing heat. The combination fretted him so that be shot his horse through the head with a pistol and then blew out his own brains. Jack Cudahy was worth $3,500,000 ten days ago. He lost every cent of it in just thirty minutes one week ago yesterday. His partner, Fair banks, lost $2,000,000 at the same time. It would seem that any man with as much money as either of these bold speculators had would be satisfied, but for such men as they there is no such thing as content-' ment. A plucky Georgia woman recently saved two men from drowning when they ventured too far out into the gulf. Men are scarce in Georgia and no Georgia woman is going to stand still and let two of them drown at once.—Houston Post. A dispatch from Washington says ‘Georgia drew $19,000 in silver cer tificates from the treasury a day or two ago to further experiment with cabbage and potatoes on the Griffin experimental farm. The draft was made payable to the governor.” Nineteen thousand dollars ought to fertilize a good many Georgia taters. —Dispatch. When the Georgia editors arrived at Wavcross, the other day, on their excursion to Florida, they all called for “lageriue.” Will Editor Perham please give us a correct analysis of lagerine ?”—Dispatch. All we know about it is, the tem perance people call it hop beer, and if you drink enough of it you can see too water tanks where there was only one before. A man says send your good, reliable, not-to-be-without-for-any-money, and it is sent, the instrumentality which per petuates and keeps us as an enlightened people; but mark, when, after a year or two, the admirer of the old reliable, etc. is with all consistent deference possible reminded that his pro rata dollar so needful tor operating expenses, then is the time for diplomacy and finesse to capture that dollar. He finds fault with its politics without the judgment to know what its politics are; he grumbles at the type; has been “chewing the rag” over some harrhless quibble until there is a huge hump on his back. More than seven out of ten evade payment. OURSELVES AND NEIGHBORS. Come to Ware County. Many families in North Georgia are making arrangements to go west. Why is this ? There are thousands of acres of fine farming lands in South Goorgia that can be bought cheap, and Ware county especially offers inducements to those who are seeking new homes. It has been demonstrated recently that the lands of Ware county cannot be excell ed in the State. There are thousands of acres here that are on the market, the water is good, the country healthy, there are schools and churches, and, Waycross, the capital of the county and the most flourishing place in the State, furnishes a market for all fhe surplus farm products that can be raised. We invite our friends in North. Georgia to come and see us before they determine to go west and we’ll guarantee to open their eyes. Judge Hansell Not to Blame. A. T. McIntyre, Jr. Publishes a card in the Thomasville Times in which he exonerates Judge Hansel from any blame in the matter of letting Connell, the man who recently murdered a negro in Brooks, go on a $1,000 bond. McIn tyre claims that the matter was misrep resented to him and he misrepresented it to Judge Hansell. Mr. McIntyre as sumes all the blame. Connell has left fpr parts unknown. There is some talk ol starting a drum mer hotel at Jacksonville. Augusta’s first bale of cotton, class low middling, brought 10 3-16 cents a pound at auction yesterday. The body of Mrs. Harriet Wise, who died recently in Atlanta, will be crema ted in Baltimore. Judge James H. Guerry, of the Patau- la circuit, has resigned. Col. J. M. Griggs and Col. R. H. Powell are can didates foi die position. The Macon News remarks that tight money has the effect to keep the people sober. It makes them look sober any way.” The farmers of Georgia have respect fully declined Mel Branch’s advice to raise less cotton and more hell. The outlook is for a large cotton crop and a low price. Men who act in defiance of party law should be ruled out of the party. That is the only way in which the party organ ization can be properly maintained.— Capitol. The Ocala Capital furnishes this bit of interesting Georgia news: There is a church at Kirkwood, Ga., owned by Presbyterians, with a Methodist pastor, and the seats were originally owned by Baptist and donated by Episcopalians. Now that Editor Pendleton has been appointed Indian agent, he will proba bly invest in a bunch of eagle feathers, a buffalo robe, a wampumless wampum belt and an innocuous tomahawk—At lanta Journal. The Brunswick Times Advertiser has discovered another one of the evils with which this country is afflicted: “One of the evils of this time is that the boys are giving too much attention to the Chinese laundrymen. Brunswick’s new paper, the “Morning Call” is on our table to-day. It is a five column four page paper, neatly printed and well made up. Mr. M. Parker is business manager. The “Call” makes a good start and we wish it success. The Darien Gazette thinks it would be a good idea to wait until next year be- fnre electing a Governor and Senator. Well, Grubb, if you say so we’ll wait awhile, but in the meantime we can say who we intend to elect when the time comes. The Waycross Herald “sho” believes in the former Congressman from this, the Second district, but now of the Eleventh.—Albany Herald. And why shouldn’t we believe in him? We’ve never known him caught out on a fly yet. Motorman John Dean, of the Lucile Park extension of the Traction line, was the victim of a cruel robbery yesterday. Three negroes boarded his car, sent a pistol ball crashing through the air, knocked the wind out of the motor, rifled the motonnan’s pockets and dis daining to filch a Waterbary watch, de spoiled him of a plug of tobacco.—Jour nal. Put to Flight —all the peculiar troubles that beset a woman. The only guaranteed remedy for them is Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre scription. For women suffering from any chronic “female complaint” or weakness; for women who are run down and overworked; for women expecting to become mothers, and for mothers who are nursing and exhausted; at the change from girlhood to womanhood; and later, at the critical “change of life”—it is a medicine that safely and certainly builds up, strengthens, regulates and cures. If it doesn’t, if it even fails to benefit or cure, you have your money back. SEEN AT THE FAIR. Beantiful Tribute to the Gemle Kind ness Exhibited by a Mother’s Manly Boy. “The most beautiful thing I saw at the fair,” S3>*s a correspondent of the Birmingham Republican, “was an old woman in one of tbe wheel, chaiis, her son pushing it. Her white hair and care-furrowed face showed that she had waited more than three score and ten years for one of the happiest days of her life. The plain dress proved neither was rich in purse; but she was rich in joy; he richer than Gould, making his mother happy. I shall forget many wonderful things I saw at the fair, but never forget the little old woman in black, resting so cosily in that rolling chair, her joy-lit face under the aureole of white hair. Her stalwart son bent over and told her some new wonder they were coming to. 'Are we almost there son ?” She asked in her eagerness. ‘ ‘Yes, mother,’ he said, smiling at her childish enjoyment, ‘and it will take your breath this time sure.’ “And she laughed like a girl, and he chuckled like a delighted boy as they passed on, not knowing that any body noticed them. Perhays no one else saw their happiness; but he was the one man on the grounds I envied. Oh, the proud step as he pushed the chariot of the queen of all the world to him! Ah! her proud look as she rode through the throng attended by the kingliest of men —the man who honors his mother. How much better that money was spent than to wait till mother died in a round of monotony, then to spend it chiseling the epitaph death wrings from human sel fishness! If you are going to the fair don’t say father and mother are too old, just to save the cost of taking them. You can take one of those wheeled chairs at 40 cents an hour, afid cancel many a sorrow you have caused; pay back some of the weary steps taken for you. Remember who pushed the wheel carriage when you could not walk, and don’t forget your old mother now.” Chicago Saturday Blade. What you are sure of, if you use Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy, is either a per fect and permanent cure for your Catarrh, no matter how bad your case may be, or $500 in cash. The proprietors of the medicine promise to pay you the money, if they can’t cure you. Birthday Party. Miss Hattie Grace entertained a party of friends last night at the residence of her parents. It was Miss Hattie’s seventeenth birthday. The occasion was a very pleasant one and the time was passed with music, recitations and other innocent amusements. The Her ald reporter, who had an invitation, was out of town and missed all the fun and the ice cream besides. For a lame back or for a pain in the side or chest, try saturating a piece of flannel with Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and binding it onto the affected parts. This treatment will cure any ordinary case in one or two days. Pain Balm also cures rheumatism. 50 cent bottles for sale at the Cash Drug store. Worth County’s Court House Burned. Special to the Herald.] Isabella, Ga., Aug. 9, ’! Worth’s court house was burned to the ground this morning at 2 o’clock. All the county records, including the School Commissioner’s books, were de stroyed, except two books of records be longing to the Clerk’s office, and papers in the safe. The house and contents, including records, was insured for $3 000. As yet, there is no clew to the incendia ry, but it is said vigorous measures will be taken to discover the guilty parties. The fire is supposed to have originated near the head of the stairs leading into the Grand Jury room, and made such progress before it was discovered that nothing could be done to check it. No other building was lost. The county safe is lying face downward beneath a heap of ashes. A God Thing to Keep at Hand. From the Troy (Kansas) Chief. Some years ago we were very much subject to severe spells of cholera morbus; and now when we feel any of the symp toms that usually preceed that ailment, such as sickness at the stomach, diar rhoea. etc., we become scary. We have found Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy the very thing to strengthen one out in such cases, and always keep it about. We are not writing this for a pay testimonial, bnt let our readers know what is a good thing to keep handy in the house. For sale at the Cash Drug store. Manor Mentioning*. Cotton is being injured by too much in. Mr. E. W. Murray, of Waycross, will soon open up a store here. A shade of gloom and sorrow covers the community since the announcement last Sunday morning of the death of Mrs. Laura McConnell, who has suffered continued illness of several weeks from paralysis. She was a faithful member of the Methodist church, a Christian lady, and the good mother of the McCon nell boys, who are well known. She left four sons and daughters, numerous relatives and friends to mourn her loss. Amid the tears of a hundred friends and relatives her remains were put on the train last Sunday evening to be transferred to her old home at Kings- tree, S. C., for interment. Miss Dicie Giddens was up here last Monday looking after a school. All are delighted to learn that Miss Mamie Clark has recovered from her re cent illness and returned to the dis charge of her duties in the school room. Manor. A Gruesome Picture. Mr. Himnan, the photographer, went out this morning to the scene of the lynching and took a photograph of Jack Chambers as he hung in chains to the tree after being shot. The picture can be seen at his gallery on Gilmore street. It is a bad looking sight.

Con tinue the medicine after every meal for a month or two and you will feel “like a new man.” The merit of Hood’s Sarsa parilla is proven by its thousands of wonderful cures. Why don’t you try it? Hood’s Pills cure constipation. They are the best after-dinner pill and family cathartic. Mr. J. C.
