MAN’S INCONSISTENCIES.
A Few of the Many Things a Man Can
and Cannot Do.
The following paragraphs have been
going the rounds of the press with no
credit but that of “exchange” given:
A man can take his life in bis band
and go boldly into the trackless prairie
to meet a herd of savage buffaloes, or he
can traverse the horrors of an African
jungle with a shudder in his body, but
he cannot enter a fancy wool shop to
match a special hue without breaking
into a violent perspiration, and finally
rushing away without fulfilling his task.
A man can suffer the amputation of.a
limb in heroic silence, but he cannot en
dure a mustard plaster on his chest with
out shrieking aloud for mercy.
A man can bear the deprivation of bis
wealth with the calmness of a stoic, but
be cannot lose his collar stud on the bed
room floor without a violent outburst of
temper.
A man can endure the pangs of hunger
on a desert island with a brave spirit,
but he cannot eat his bride’s first pud
ding without a smothered ejaculation.
A nian can smile grimly under the
tortures of the rack, but he cannot tread
on a tin tack with his bare foot without
a/bitter howl.
A man can walk forty miles a day and
arrive fresh and bright at the end of his
journey, but he cannot nurse a baby
half an hour without complaining that
he is utterly worn out.
A man ean calculate to the uttermost
farthing the cost of the Suez canal, but
he cannot estimate the price of a woman’s
bonnet without egregious errors.
A man can possess the physical
WAYCROSS TO THE RESCUE.
Great Distress In Brunswick—They
Appeal for Aid and Must Have
Belief.
The following appeal from Brunswick
explaines itself. Brunswick is our
ighbor, and Waycross must move, and
move at once. Death from disease and
starvation stares the poor people who
are left in the distresssd city in the face.
Let a meeting be called and committees
be appointed to take charge of the mat
ter. Our noble fadies will come to the
rescue, the Herald speaks for them.
The government cannot furnish the ne
cessary relief in time to prevent suffer
ing. Waycross is Brunswick’s nearest
neighbor and must and will be first to
render substantial aid and relief. The
government will come to the rescue
later, but Waycross must do her duty
now.
Below is a statement of the facts as
they exist. Let us not delay one mo
ment. The Herald appeals to the citi
zens of Waycross to do what they can
for poor suffering Brunswick. And we
feel that the appeal is not in vain.
Brunswick, Ga., Aug. 23.—One
more case of fever was repoi ted to-day,
an infant of Mrs. Bertha Cox. No more
suspicious cases have been reported.
The distress here is terrible—a stricken
community, shut off from the outside
world, our factories closed, homes de
serted, stores barred, and people fled—
those of the poor left here are suffering
for their daily bread. Help must come
and that quickly, or death from want
and starvation will drive to the grave
more than the fever will remove. To
the American people and the United
States government, the j»oor of Bruns
wick look for food that will keep them
from dying. *
Appeal sent to Washington*.
Appreciating the necessity erf quick
aid, the following message has been sent
to Washington, addressed-to Senators
Gordon and Colquitt, Speaker Crisp,
Hon. H. G. Turner and all of the mem
bers of the Georgia delegation at Wash
ington, D. C.:
The situation here i-* distressing. We
are shut off from the entire outside
world. Starvation stares the poor peo
ple in the face. The refugees ordinarily
bread-winners, with their families, have
left the city without means. We appeal
in behalf of a stricken people for imme
diate aid, and confidently rely upon the
heart of a great American people and
the government to respond.

Breekenridge Did Not Speak.
Representative Breekenridge did not

his wife and daughter and a cloud hangs i
over him. Breekenridge witl soon be a
back number and in the eternal fitness
of things, it is right that he should.
Any man who will take advantage of an
innocent girl should he forever ostracised
socially and politically. The days of
Breekenridge. as a leader among men
are numbered.
Over 2,000 Free Passes.
Before leaving Brunswick Manager
Geo. W. Haines, Superintendent ot the
B. & W. R. R. issued over 2,ffi>0 free
passes-to poor people desiring to get out
of the city. For this action Mr. Haines
is highly commended.

YELLOW JACK’S COLUMN.
Paragraphic News from Brunswick.
The distress in Brunswick is great.— ;
An appeal for help appears in another
column.
Harris was better last night at C
o’clock and was conscious.
The fever will doubtless he declared
epidemic to day.
Hundreds of Brunswickians are too
poor to leave. Never before and prob
ably never again is charity more urgent
ly needed than at present.
The prospect f<»r a yellow fever epi
demic is very good.
The fates are bearing hard ujtfm our
beautiful sister by the sea. Ail our sym
pathies are with her.
And now Waycross has quarantined
against the luscious Brunswick oyster.
Brunswick has acted honestly and
candidly in regard to the yellow fever in
that city. All praise is due her.
Surgeon Magruder is establishing a
quarantine and camp of detention near
Waynesville to-day.
The Brunswick Times-Advertiser did
i not reach us this morning. We hope
brother Wrench has not been forced to
suspend.
The pathetic scenes that have been
enacted in Brunswick are enough to melt
a heart of stone.
Death of Dr. T. K/Quinn,
Dr. T. K. Quinn, who has been in
charge of the convict camp at Waiter-
town, died to-day at 12 o’clock of Ty
phoid fever. Dr. Quinn was raised in
Brooks county and we have known him
for many years. He was a splendid
young man with a bright future. His
remains will he sent to Brooks eounty
for interment. His mother and brother.
Dr. Charlv Quinn of Naylor, were with
him at the time of his death. Dr. Quinn
was sick about three weeks.
She Should be Paid.
“Saguache,” says the Crescent, “is not
to be outdone by any town or state on
the pension question. One state has a
pensioner on a total disability claim who
is| actually drawing a salary as judge
amounting to $5,000 per annum. Another
is pensioned because lie ha* no hair; an
other for the loss of teeth and indiges
tion, but Saguache boasts of a woman
pensioner who claims loss of speech j»s
her disability.”—Colorado Courier.
She should be paid.
In a Nutshell.
Congressman Bryan in the course of
his great speech in the House stated the
case in a nutshell as follows:
The question was not whether the
President was honest or not. The ques
tion was whether he was right. The
President had won the confidence of the
people, but he had been deceived. He
had said in his message that the |>eople
demanded the repeal of the Sherman
act. H(/had heard from the board of
trade and from the chambers of com
merce, but he had not heard from the
farmers or the men in the workshops,
and he could no more judge of the opin
ion of the people than he could measure
the ocean’s depth by the foain on the
ocean’s wave. Let the friends of silver
call the battle on and never leave the
field until the people’s money was Re
stored.
Mr. Fleming Replies.
Capt. R. G. Fleming sent yesterday
the following telegram to Mayor Knight
in reply to an invitation from this city
to make his headquarters here in case of
yellow fever troubles in Savannah.
Fleming has already signified his inten
tion of coming to Waycross should the
fever reach Savannah :
Savannah, Ga., Aug. 22d, 93.
A. M. Knight, Agent:
Your telegram in regard to moving
headquarters of the Sav., Fla. & West
ern Railway to Waycross received, and
I thank you and the City Council and
Board of Trade for your kind invitation,
hut we liardly think with proper re
strictions and regulations we will have
any trouble here. G. G. Fleming.
Purely Personal.
Mr. J. W. Bennett still remains in the
city and we hope will make his temporar-
rv headquarters here.
Mr. Clarance Wilson leaves to-day for
a trip to Chicago and other points in the
east and west, and will be gone about
four weeks. We hope he will have a
pleasant trip.
Misses Katie and Madie Dekle and-
Miss Mary Hirt returned to their home
at Thomasville yesterday.
Judge Mershon, wife and daughter
are at the Phoenix. They left Bruns
wick some time since and have been
rusticating, so the Judges says in the
Okeefeenokee swamp.
The Faircloth Case.
Mention has already been made in
our columns of the Faircloth case, pend
ing in our neighboring county of Pierce,
and of the fact that Judge Sweat had
recently granted a new trial. On in
quiry we learn the Judge overruled a
motion to dismiss the motion for new
trial, holding that notwithstanding the
failure to comply with the just rules of
the law, he had the power and discre
tion to perfect the record, especially as
the ends of justice required it, and
placed his grant of a new trial upon the
ground that the verdict was unauthor
ized by the evidence and excessive, the
verdict being for some $<>,500. It ap
pears that the evidence showed the de
ceased to be a sufferer from chronic
troubles and incapable of earning much.
The amount per annum being placed by
different witnesses at $150, $300 and
$500. His first marriage occurred in
1879 and his death in 1838, leaving a
period of 19 years between his first mar
riage and his death, to which if 17 years
(the age he must have attained to have
made his marriage legal) be added, he
must have been 36 years old at his death
and the calculation would be at $150.
Yearly value reduced to a cash basis $1,6*1.
$300 - “ $3,363.
$500 “ “ “ “ $5,605.
So it seems the amount found by the
jury was largely in excess of that author
ized by the evidence, and as we f arc in
formed the supreme court recently de
cided in a case from this circuit that in
a damage suit a party could not by di
rection or permission of the court, write
off an amount deemed excessive; there
was no alternative hut to grant a new
trial in this case. We are not advised,
but counsel for Mrs. Faircloth, No. 1,
may take the case to the supreme court
t>n the refusal of the court to ^dismiss
the motion for new trial.
Editors in the City.
Messrs Stien and Hill, editors of the
Savannah’s bright new morning paper,
the Telegram, are in the city to-day.
They paid the Herald a p.easant visit
this afternoon and we found them pleas
ant intelligent gentlemen. The Tele
gram is one of the best papers in the
state and is rapidly coming to the front.
We wish it great success.
