Yellow fever forms the t hief topic of con versation now. Public debate at the court house, ^ce no tice in another columu. Mr. Finn sent his drill down twenty feet in the artesian well yesterday. Geo. Turner lias some of the finest livery turnouts ever seen in Waycross. Printers ink pays the other fellow Ktter than it does the printer. Sure to be so.

Hr. J. II. Hedge writes from Chicago that fie is taking in the exposition and having a good time generally. What to do with the unimployed is In coming a serious question in southern cities as well us in the west and east. The officials of Waycross will not buzzard the health of the city by a laxity in the en forcement of the proper quarantine mea*- 3 still, not very still. As the Herald lias suggested on a previous occasion, this is a good time to clean up. The delate to-morrow night promises to !>e interesting. Go to the court house and hear it. it b thought in Waycross that yellow feyer will lie declared epidemic In Brunswick to-day. Our hotel registers show a large number of visitors, but they do not come from Brunswick. Mrs. S. M. Stokes and little son 'returned yesterday morning from a visit of some weeks to friends in Macon and Eastman. Waycross has Ken prosperous, happy and blessed for years, .let her now give some of »r sustanance to the sick and distressed. The C. C: Grace Company have never done a better business than during the past two months. They advertise in the Herald. Our citizens need not fear that yellow- fever will he introduced into Waycross. Mayor Knight is looking closely after thif matter. With yellow fever in Brunswick and the gas escaping in Washington, there is no question about the health and prosperity of Waycross. Wa learn that quite a number of people who have resided in Brunswick, speak of making Waycross their future home. We do to prosper at the expense of our sis ter city, hut onr doors are open to all who desire to come and cast their fortunes with One More Case In Brunswick. Just as we go to press a telegram from Brunswick informs us that there is one more case of yellow fever iu that city. The name of the party is not given. The Ladies on the Bicycles. Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Murphy, Miss Le- Count and Master Robert, made a trip to the river yesterday on their bicycles. Making the entire distance in one hour. The Herald is deligdted to see the ladies of .Waycross taking an interest in bicy cling. There is no better exercise and we are quitv sure a lady looks as pretty oa a bicycle as she does on horse back. We would be glad to see more of our ladies learning to ride the so called trickv bicycle. ‘ The skirts of the near future are to be short,” says an item in the fashion column of an exchange. Hard times makes many changes, v The Herald devotes much of its spat e to Brunswick to-day. We are willing to keep up the lick if we ean benefit suffering hu manity. There was nothing yellow about Way- cross yesterday except ten carloads of yel low pine timljer and the S. F. A W. depot building. Mr. Tom Lanier has returned from Ho- inerville where he has been visiting for a few days. Mr. I^nier and the famiiy > main at HomerviUe.

In speaking of the seuppemong grape yesterday the prihter made us say "the world does not produce a finer soap." We wrote "the world does not produce a finer grape.” Quite a difference between soap and grapes. • Judge Mefshon says he is not from the Okeefenokee swamp, but from Pelican Is land.

Adult members of this class are requested to meet Wednesday night-of each -week at 7:30 o'clock. The Latest from Brunswick. Brunswick is almost depopulated and it is perhaps well that it is so. Mr. Harris, the fever patient was do ing well and resting easy this morning. The East Tennessee has put on a train leaving Brunswick every afternoon at 3 o’clock. Only one other case of any kind of fever is reported and that is not suspi cious. Health Officer Brunner has asked the establishment of camps of detention on the two railroads leaving the city. Mayor Lamb will take the position that such camps are unnecessary and unjust— until the fever is declared of an epidem ic character. Two hundred tents have been ordered to Waycross for the camp of detention which will probably be established be tween this point and Brunswick. Many Brunswick people have gone to St. Simons where they will remain dur ing the epidemic. The limits of the quarantine cordon lias been extended to. Dartmouth street The Times-Advertiser says that Brunswick presents the appearance of a deserted village, hut without there is a tone of cheerfulness prevailing. Chauncey telegraphed Brunswick yes terday: , “Our homes are open to you.” Dr. Burford, president of the board of health, expressed the opinion yesterday that he doubted the wisdom of the fur ther abandonment of homes. About four thousand citizens all told have left Brunswick. Drs. Branham and Dunwoody, at Blackbcard Island, are officially reported well are are expected to leave quarantine to-day. Mayor Lamb is mingling with the people and will stick by Brunswick to the end. The government will beaked to help More Base Ball.

The citizens of Waycross and vicinity are invited to a discussion to be given under the auspices of the Teachers Insti tute, now in session in this city, at the court house on Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock. Subject: “Should female edu cation be parallel with male t” W. T. Ashbury, Secretary. 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. Thos. W. La mu, Mayor. C. P. Goodyear, Jacor E. Dart. Rev. Edward F. Cook, Rev. J. A. Thompson, Rev. Father Henxessy, Relief Committee. TRAINS ON THE B. & W. No One Allowed to Stop Sonth of At lanta. Trains on the B. & W. will go no fur ther than Waynesville after this time. Government trains from Brunswick to the camp of detention will commence running in the morning, j No person will be allowed to leave Brunswick for )>oints South of Atlanta. THE CAMP OF DETENTION U Located by Surgeon Magruder and Mayor Knight. Surgeon Magruder and Mayor Knight went down yesterday and located the camp of detention two miles east of Waynesville on the B. & W. R. R. Preparations to receive the remnant of Brunswick are rapidly being made; Four hundred tents will he on the ground to day or to-morrow. The government will not spare money or work to make the camp comfortable and healthy. TEACHERS’ INSTITUTE. Synopsis of Proceedings.

Persons desiring to contribute to the Brunswick sufferers can leave their con tributions, either in money or provisions at the Herald office, and the same will he promptly forwarded to the proper persons. Contributions should be sent in before night if possible, so that they may go in a car provided hv Mr. Knight for that special purpose. Mr. J. S. Sharp will see everybody that he can, hut those he tails to see, including the ladies, are requested to send what they propose to give to the office as stated. Provisions will lie bought with the money contributed. There must be no delay about this matter. Do what you can and at once. the stricken city, and a committe has t strength of a Samson, but he cannot been asked to confer with Mr. Turner, j hel P to take down the pictures for the Manv who hav^ left the citv have no ! a,inud 8 P rio * dKmio = without money,' and the suffering and incon- com P Ie,el - v exhausted with his labors, venience they will have to endure can not he estimated. Atlanta continues to extend her invi tation to the sufferers. Breekenridge Did Not Speak. Representative Breekenridge did not apeak yesterday. He is in Virginia with 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. Dr Joan Bull’s Worm Destroyer taste good and quickly remove worms from children or grown people, restoring the weak and puny to robust health. Try them. No other worm medicine is so safe and sure.

A man can suffer death at the stake with the dignity cf a martyr, but he can not chase after his hat in a public road without looking ridiculous. A nian can wait many years in proud silence for the public appreciation of his work, hut at a domestic crisis he cannot get up and light th& fire every day for a week without feeling- that be is* fit for immediate canonization. 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. THE LATEST FROM BRUNSWICK. No New Cases) To-day. Special to the Herald.]. Brunswick, Ga., Aug 24, 4 p. m.- No new cases ‘reported to-day. The sick are doing well. 4 o’clock p. m. From Washington Surgeon General Wyman telegraphs Mayor Knight: “I have taken measures similar to those suggested by you re e It,” and further compliments, onr efficient not with us and we are at loss to decide | ma - vor for his P rom l* ~ nd decisive steps where it lies. That there is trouble | * n decking the spread of yellow feve/. somewhere in the postal service in. this i section, there can he no doubt, and if we \ can locate the party or parties their scalps will surely dangle. The Mails Wrong. Great complaint is being made by some of our subscribers that they do not receive their paper every day. We de sire to assure them, one and all, that the weekly or daily Herald is mailed them promptly and without Tail. The fault This is no time to make party capital or to strive for personal pop ularity.

The proposition to keep the World’s Fair open another year originated in a desire to afford those two young ladies who started from New Orleans with an ox team an opportunity to reach -the goal of their ambition.— St. Paul Globe. All the reports that come from Washington of Congressman Ben ! Russell are very favorable. He is an | honest, hard-working member and is | trying to do bis full duty by his con- i stituency. And he is not only a hard worker, but he is able and thorough.
