THE WAYCROSS HERALD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16. 1893.
AMONG OUR NEIGHBORS.
The Brunswick T. A. says we are even
with Waycross. She has had Tom Wat
son. Let us sup our sorrows together.
The Valdosta Times says there is no
truth in the report that there is no
money in Valdosta to buy cotton with.

The Albany Advertiser comes to us
this morning on yellow tinted paper.

Pruitt ia threatened with yellow fever. .
The Lewie Bedwine trial is set for the
last week in October, and it is thought
the evidence will be forced to show
where the $100,000 of Gate City Bank
funds went.
To certificate, or not to certificate.
That’s the question ? Is it better to
flounder in the gutters of uncertain
apathy; or grab the bull by the horn,
and away to the races 1
A correspondent from St. Helena is
land tells the Augusta Chronicle that
more than two hundred lives were lost
on that island alone during the recent
storm. The victims were a^negroes.
A party writing froni Dublin, Ga.,
wants to know' w’hat has become of the
old time red bone squirrel that once was
ho plentiful in this country: They
made their exit when the brother in
black was “sot” free.
The rapidity with' which Brunswick
is making an effort was shown this
morning in a head end collision between
two street cars. We believe this is the
first collision of mule cars reported.—
Time8-Advertiser.
One day last week when Mrs. Louis Me-
Lelland went to her machine to do some
sewing, to her surprise, when she raised

coiled on the leaf of the machine. It
was a rat snake any measured four feet.

You can find the man who under

Yes, and ten to one he is sitting on a
dry goods box expressing his view’s and
wanting to borrow a dollar, while his
wife is at home cutting wood.—Savan

There will be a big rush on the 10th.
The Cherokee slip will be opened up
then. It is rumored that Jeems Free
man, the only Jeems, will emigrate-there
start a newspaper and take charge of a
Sunday-school the first twenty-four
hours. Well Jeems is just what can do
it.—A.bany Advertiser. The Albany
T-A is informed^ that Capt. Free
man is in better business than making a
run on the Cherokee slip. He is one of
the Heralds most valuable employees.
Brunswick will probably issue $10,-
000 in scrip to relieve the present

an admirable showing for this time of
stringency.
Professor Gamer is to prepare a
dictionary of the monkey language.—
Houston Post. The dictivnury will
probably have a large circulation
among the dudes.
Not many months since the Geor

ignoring politics for the present.
Nevertheless they are all working in
harness just as usual.
McIntosh, of the Hearld, is above
suspicion so far as his. democracy is
concerned, but he hits out straight
from the shoulder when he thinks
things are getting crooked in camps.
An exchange says: “Advertising
gives character and standing to a
firm. Go into any town as an entire
stranger and pick up the local paper
published there. Look for their
largest advertisers and you can in
variably depend upon it that you
have found the most reliable and de
sirable firm of that town.”
A SKIM DOWN THE B. k W. TO
, CAMP HAINES.
What a Herald Man Saw Yesterday.
Snugly ensconced in the cosiest corner
of Mr. Haines’ private car, puffing a
sweet whispers cigar, with Mr. H. Dyer
at the throttle, and Mr. Haines, Mr.
Verdery, Mr. Fit* Simmons, Mr. Love
and Supervisor Hargaret, as companions,
we pulled out of the Magic City yester
day morning at 6:30, and without mis
hap or delay, reached the for famed and
much talked of Camp Haines, a distance
of 37 miles, by the time the gen
tlemen had finished their morning
smoke.
AT CAMP HAINES.
We found a town without inhabitants,
save the workmen who are finishing up
the buildings, and Mr. Seals and family,
who will permanently reside here and
have charge of the property. The build
ings comprising the camp are eleven in
number, built around a beautiful square
containing an acre, which is to be enclos
ed and planted in grass and shrubbery.
The houses consist of commissar}’,
quarter masters buildings, dinning rooms
and kitchens, offices, guard house, &c.
The buildings are large, well arranged
and substantsally constructed. Nine
driven wells supply the camps with good
water and plenty of it. The buildings
for the accommodation of the sick, are
located about four hundred yards from
the main village and out of sight.
The Camp is situated on the south
side of the B. & W. B. R., about a mile
from Waynesvilie, upon a high, dry
blackjack ridge, which extends back for
a mile. The location was selected by
Mr. Geo. W. Haines and seems to have
been specially arranged by nature for
the purpose to which it has been put.
It seems almost incredible that such an
amount of work could have been done at
Camp Haines in so short time, but it is
there to show for itself.
THE SPRING.
A short distance from camp, and on
the north side of the railroad, there bub
bles forth a clear cold spring, slightly
impregnated with sulphur. This spring
adds another attractive feature to the
surroundings and affords an unlimited
supply of the purest and healthiest water.
TO BE PERMANENT.
Camp Haines is to be a permanent in
stitution, under the ownership and con
trol of the government, and is to be
beautified and improved as time goes by.
It has been suggested that with the per
mission of the government, the camps
might be used occasionelly by the
Brunswick people for picnics and dances,
and by the sober and staid people of
Waycross for eampmeetings and i
vals. At anyrate, we hope it will never
be used for the pnrpose for which it has
been erected.
Homerrille Dots.
Homerville, Gh., Sept. 7,—The Ho-
merville House was sold to the highest
bidder yesterday for $1,100. Mrs. Spence
the present occupant bid it off.
A plan for the forthcoming court
house was decided upon by the county
commissioners yesterday.
The annual camp meeting of the
Methodist Episcopal church will begin
here Sept. 15, and last ten days.
Trouble in Brazil.
Wasaington, Sept. 7,—The Com
mercial Cable Company, to-day posted
notice saying that the Brazilian govern
ment had suspended all telegraphic
communication to Brazil.
A demand made on President Plixett
to resign met with refusal, and fighting
is expected. Rio Janero is blockaded.
Brunswick Dots.
The Brunswick hotel reopened yester
day.
John Lehman returned to Brunswick
Tammany is pulling himself together
again. The symptoms for Brunswick
are good.
Brunswick will probably adopt the
cleaning house certificate plan. Certifi
cates of health will be taken without
discount.
The brass band is preparing to toot
again. Brunswick has had nothing but
groans recently, let the tooters get in
their work at once. They will relieve
the monotony and add diversity to the
scene. Let them toot a requiem to the
dead microbes and then go and serenade
the girls.
The people of Brunswick are not
longing for charity. With an open
chance with the balance of the world, j
she will work herself out of the troubles. :
But there are distressing times at the ;
present.—T. A.
A great many of Brunswick’s be3t cit- ;
izens have fallen victims to the yellow i
—fever—scare.
Over four hundred refugees returned
to Brunswick over the E. T. V. & G.
yesterday.
The Saving Power.
The saving common sense of the
American people has always pull
ed their country out of ruts into
which unscientific legislation and ignor
ant demagogy had pushed it. This say-
iug power is again called into use, and
that it will be equal to the occasion and
the demand on it we cannot doubt. The
squeeeze will presently disappear, and
it will go because the mass of intelligent
citizens combine to make it vanish.
Then we shall have good times for a
term of years.—Tradesman.
Don’t Neglect This Opportunity to Secure a Home
Bhhiswick and Western Railroad.
The above map represents the land offered for sale by th£ s WAYCROSS LAND AND IMPROVEMENT COMPANY,
all the lots fronting on good 60 and 50 feet streets, and a 10 foo^ alley in rear of each lot. Each lot contains about one-
quarter of an acre, and may be paid for at five dollars per month; uhd .vlien parties propose to build at once, payments need
not commence until the buildings are up and the lumber paid for. The lumfrer can also be bought on the installment plan.
‘ HENRY W. WILSON,
Waveross, Ga. Cor. Albany Avenue and D. St.
NO GRAVEYARD.
There is no graveyard at Camp Haines
and God in His infinite mercy grant
t^iere may never be. *
The only funeral that has occurred at
the camp, was the burial by Mr. Seals, of
an immense rattlesnake, which he killed
near by. The writer is superstituous
enough to hope that the death of this
deadly reptile is a good omen for the
future of the camp.
. NOTES.
Two hundred and fifty tents are on
hand and will be kept ready for any
emergency. There are also 1,000 mat
tresses, 4,000 blankets and an abun
dance of crockery and cooking utensils
ready for use.
The government will purchase forty
acres of land upon which the camp is
located.
We saw a number of refugees along
the line. They all appeared comfortable
and as happy as possible under the cir
cumstances. We rejoice with them at
the prospects of an early termination of
their troubles.
Livingstons Bill.
Representative Livingston has intn -
duced a banking bill. It repeals the 10
per cent, tax, and provides for the issue
of treasury notes by the general govern
ment, to be turned over to the states un
der state laws, to be issued to corpora
tions wishing to do banking business.
The states become responsible to the
general government and takes from cor
porations amply security that the notes
furnished and used by them be redeem
ed in gold and silver whenever present
ed.
In The Dark.
We have seen nothing in the Way-
cross Herald up to date' in regard to the
blood-curdling story, said to come from
Coffee county, and wired several days
ago to the daily papers from Waycross.
If the thing is a fake the perpetrator
ought to be tied out himself awhile.—
Valdosta Times.
The Herald acknowledges that it ha*
not “caught on” to the blood-curdling
story alluded to by the Times, though
they may have some foundation in fact.
The Herald in trying to give the news
is also trying to be careful tc avoid fakes
and untruthful sensations. We are hi

At Waynesvilie, the B. & W., has es
tablished a comfertable and well arrang
ed camp for its employees, under the j dark about the Coffee county affair.
Pass Him Around.
One Ohas. T. Leone, claiming to be
from Kentucky, originally, and from
Montgomery to Albany, applied to B.
M. Manning for work, claiming to be a
coach painter. He seemed to be a gtn-
tlem3n and was anxious for a situation^
which he succeeded in procuring at
wages of $2 per day. He proved to be
an impostor, and was discharged on Fri
day, having received $27 for thirteen
and a half days’ work. He slipped his
baggage from bis room and beat liis
board bill for one week with Judge
F. R. Robert.—Albany Advertiser.

The hoys say that Supt. Haines sees
everything. The little brown j ug which
he found under the tent fly however, was
harmless; it contoined nothing but kero-
sine. Its appearance was deceptive.
It is estimated that the cost of fitting
up Camp Haines, outside of the cost of
furniture, is not less than ten thousand
dall&rs.
Oysters and crabs were part of our
bill of fare at Camp Haines yesterday.
Returning from camp to the city we
