The city of Perry, Oklahoma,
(Cherokee strip,) te six days old,

The Georgia Loan and Trust Com

speak of floods in China. Rain has

states, but strange to say the west
has had a severe drouth and every

It Js well for Georgia if the state is
independent of the west for corn next
year.
When the people combine and
unite upon the establishment

which it was created just as well as
gold. The value of anything except
labor, is ficticious and conventional.

The people of Waycross have been
justly proud of their free school sys
tem. Proud of the advanced facili
ties afforded under the graded system
as formulated by the Board of edu
cation and proud of the school build
ing once ample to accommodate all
our children. But the indications
just now point to the fact that we
have outgrown the old school build
ing and many of our children will be
turned away next week -ior want of
room to accommodate, them. This is
all wrong; our boys and girls must
be provided for at whatever cost.
We need a good building, ample in
dimensions and equipments to ac
commodate all the children in the
city, and must have it. The sooner
the people commence to revolve this
question in their minds the easier
will the acquisition appear.
A Pointer to Merchants Who Fall to Ad
vertise.
Here’s a little story which points a
great moral:
An exchange tells of a woman who
bought a new-fangled coffee pot from
a peddler. In the evening she showed
it to her husband, a hardware dealer,
who told her he kept the same thin;
in his store for half the price she
paid. “Well,” said she, “why don’t
you advertise? Nobody ever knows
what you have for sale.”
The Value of Newspapers.
To those of our citizens who do
not think their local paper is of any
value to their town and country. We
submit the following from Governor
Francis of Missouri:
“Each year the local paper gives
from $199 to $10,000 in free lines to
the community in which it i9 located.
No other agency can or will do this.
The editor, in proportion to his
means, does more for his country
t)ian any other ten men : he ought to
be supported, not because you like
him and his writing bat all should
support a local paper because it is
the best investment a community can
make. It may not be brilliantly
edited or crowned with thought, but
financially it is more benefit to the
people than the teacher or preacher.
Understand me I do not say morally
or intellectually, but financially; and
yet on the right side. To-day the
editors of-the home papers do the
most for the least money of any men
on earth.
Wares borons Massmeeting.
The people of Waresboro and sur

persons had been admitted within our gates

the second appearance of yellow fever there,
and desirous of disabusing the minds espe
cially of our country friends from giving
credence to said report.
Therefore resolved. We declare that thro’
our sympathy we have endeavored to aid
Brunswick’s people in their terrible trouble.
Resolved 2nd, That wc reiterate our de
sire to lend them a hand, but when the
health of onr family and friends were en
dangered our city fathers promptly and effi
ciently took the steps necessary to prevent
such a calamity.
Resolved 3rd. That we pronounce our
town as free from disease and as safe from
attack and approach as any in the land,
there not being a ease of sickness nor a call
for a physician, except in chronic cases for
the past three months.

WORSE THAN FEVER.
BRUNSWICK HAS MARTIAL LAWS ’
FORCED UPON HER.
Inability of Conueil to Obtain a Quorum
And the Demoralization of the
Regular Police Eorce
Brought About the
Necessity For
3IartlalLaw.
At the joint meeting of the board of
health and the relief association, held at
12 m. o’clock, after the reports of sickness
from physicians, Col. Goodyear moved
that both bodies, as the only govern
mental organizations in the city, go into
joint session to consider a matter of vital
importance. The motion being carried,
Col. Goodyear said:
col. goodyear’s statement.
“On yesterday wc had occasion to de
nounce as untrue a statement of Mr.
Mike Eagan, correspondent of the Savan
nah Evening Press, that the sanitary
conditions here pointed out Brunswick
a3 the pest hole of Georgia. To-day we
learn that in the issue of that paper of
the 20th inst., appears a statement which
demands immediate action, and
I ask that the secretary read from the
paper.”
INVESTIGATING A REPORT.
The article was read charging dissatis
faction with the authorities. The ob
noxious statement was as iollows:
“Affidavits are offered to your corres
pondent by people that a cer
tain member of the relief canvassing
committee offers to barter food certifi
cates for virtue.”
It was headed by the Savannah Press
“Food For Virtue.”
- Mr. Eagan was asked if lie was such
correspondent, and if he telegraphed
this infamous statement.
He said he • was such correspondent,
and did telepraph this statement.
Asked which of the five canvasserc the
charge referred to, he replied he could
not give the name now, but would later
with his proofs.
INDIGNANT DENUNCIATIONS.
This aroused the citizens present.
Hon. Jacob E. Dart jumped to his feet,
and in behalf of the manhood of Bruns
wick, of the integrity of the committee
and the virtue of her women, he ' de
nounced Eagan in the most scathing
terms. His denunciation of Eagan wa i
tearful. Facing Eagan and aedressing
his remarks to Eagan and the citizens
assembled, he said, in substance, that it
wa3 strange that one claiming to repre
sent such a reputable paper as the a
vannah Press, and who walked the
streets of Brunswick claiming citizen
ship and asked to be recognized as
gentleman, should send to to the Sav
nah Press a lie so damnable that it made
such impression on the editor as to cause
him to head it “Food For Virtue.’
“Does this miserable cur know the mean
ing of the term virtue ?” He continued :
“has he no ties of womanhood that would
cause him to stop and pause before suck
false statements left his lying pen ? Was
his idea of virtue based upon his associ
ations with the wanton women of the
town, who feast upon such fellows as he
to J ply their avocation ? Is it not an in
sult to every mother, wife, sister and
daughter who is remaining here facing
an enemy which spares neither age nor
sex, that these pure women (for virtue
belongs only to the pure) should be
charged with selling “virtue for food?'
I voice the sentiments of every honora
ble man present when I say wc hurl the
foul lie back in his cowardly face,
asks until to-morrow to bring his ^affida
vits. Did he not have the proofs when
he wired those statements ? If he had
them, let him give the names now.
it was true two days ago it is true now.
Why docs he hesitate to give the name
of the man who offered ‘food for virtue.’
He may bring affidavits before this
board, but they will be the perjured
oaths of those as foul as himself,
would shame respectability and virtue if
brought in contanct with them.
