! . 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 five negroes who assassinated Alex Petewon in Montgomery county have been found guilty and will be hung. Mr. Screven A. Sweat has resigned the position as postmaster at Homer- ville. Mrs. Frobel and Will Mattox are the applicants for the place. The Albany Advertiser comes to us this morning on yellow tinted paper. This is not an indic&tiou that friend 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 the4op off she spied a snake snugly coiled on the leaf of the machine. It was a rat snake any measured four feet. —Baxley Banner. You can find the man who under stands the financial situation in every town in Georgia.—Thomasville Times Enterprise. 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 nah Press. 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 money stringency in that city. The county Commissioners of Thomas have raised the tax from 17 cents to 25 cents on the hundred. Watermelons are still on the Thomasville market, but editor Trip lett is not investing-much money in the late crop. Gov. Nortben has offered a reward of $200 for the apprehension of John Connell, charged with killing a ne gro in Brooks county. Fulton county comes to the front with a million and a half dollars in crease in taxable property. This is 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 gia papers declared their intention of 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 SAVANNAH, FLORIDA & WESTERN B Y.

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. Wav.

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 made very nearly a mile a minute.
