SHORT EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS Dr. Amos Fox gets tlie post oftiee at Atlanta. A dead lock in Congress will pro duce a lively time. To find fault with our government, is to hlamc ourselves. A newspaper sanctum is the abode of generosity and charity. Very few towns in the Soutii will escape the yellow fever—liar. Crisp is a dandy from “taw.” Guess you know what that means. It is definitely settled that the Chicago Fair will he closed Oct. 31st. The country might as well ignore the Senate and paddle its own eanoe. The weather prophet connot fore tell the action of the United States Senate. . Savannah claims a population of 03,000. The Forest city is steadily growing. Green oranges are being rushed to northern markets from Florida by the car load. The Georgia legislature is hooked for a grand performance in Atlanta, next month. Vice-Preiidcnt Stevenson will make the opening speech at the Augusta Exposition. Truth crushed to cartli will rise again, lint she sometimes gets up with saud in both eyes. Cholera is increasing at an alarm ing rate in Europe. At Mecca they are dying by thousands. Delays are dangerous and haste is sometimes injurious. Try to draw the line at the proper place. Atlanta has again demonstrated that the fact that she can make ends meet. She hat annexed West End. Savannah is complaining of a wasp with three stings. The Waycross wasp has only one sting. Waycross leads the word. Breckenridge says he uever prom ised to marry Miss Pollard. He should have promised, and he should lias e married her. Nothing to do just now, hut wait on the dear people, say our prayers and feast on the results of a bounti ful pea-nut season. The big late crop of aspirants for gubernatorial honors have almost col lapsed into solemn quietude. Result of recent thought. The Republicans will take tbeir chances upon further currency legis lation, on schemes for wild-cat bank ing and new uses for depreciated silver. The New Yoik World thinks that only harmony and hard work can make New York state democratic. Why. what is the matter with “I am a democrat Mr. Cleveland has appointed sev eral negroes to important foreign missions at big salaries. Well things seem to be getting a little mixed under Mr. Cleveland's administra tion. The New York Tribune says the Democratic parly is “on trial.” Well, if it is it is better off than the repub lican party That has already been convicted and sentenced.—Atlanta Journal. The federal election law will be ■ repealed, if not now, next week, next month or next session, next session will serve. The law doesn’t apply to any election this year, let Congress do the pressing thing first. The extra-scssiou of Congress, which was called to give the country some immediate relief, has now been in the gas business for over six weeks without having passed a single relief measure, and very little prospects ahead. A terrible fire was raging at St. Joseph; Mo., yesterday. The magical presence of king cot ton is being felt in the land. The Spanish government has de clared qaai antine against Tampa. Corbett has signed an agreement to fight Mitchell at Coney Island. A faint rustle of approaching good times is being heard in the distance. Accoiding to the papers Congress seems to be a worthless source of re- lief. A severe snow storm swept over the northern part of IJnglancl on Sept 23rd. Atlanta has absorbed West End and is now looking for other worlds to conquer. Ayres Jones a notorious moon shiner in Alabama has been murder ed by his own son. The silver senators seem to be talking against time and the restroa- tion of confidence. The health certificate is the only thing that goes now with the Savan nah health authorities. Mayor Trout who left Roanoke re cently has been requested by the cit izens to return to the city. Mr. J. M. Knox, formerly manager of the Texas Siftings, is now manager of the Atlanta Herald. Tensacola is still debating the question as to whether or not she had the yellow fever recently. And it now turns out that the news paper men of Atlanta, made $1200 for the Brunswick sufferers. It is said that Mitehel and Corbet will fight for $40,000. And who is to pay the forty tbousuntf? It has been discovered that the republican train robbers in the west arc republicans. We suspected as much. Thousands of disappointed people are returning from the Cherokee strip. Moral: Stay at home if yon have one. Charles Herring agecl lOyears shot his wife and then shot himself in At lanta on Saturday night last. They will both die. China is working for war, and the time will soon come when she will be supplied with armaments equal in quality and in numbers to* those of the geatest European nations, Albany put a whole train load of colored excursionists into camp, mile or so from the city yesterday, Then there was howling and knash ing of teeth. It seems probable that the breach of promise suit against Col. Breekin ridge will not be tried for two years yet; therefore public iudgment. which 5 as been suspended by request, may sit down and take a rest. Ne^rs. • 1 The city of Perry, Oklahoma, (Cherokee strip,) te six days old, yet it has a bank with $250,000 capital and three daily and five news papers. Torn lots are selling by the front foot at the rate of $300 lo $1,000 per acre. The National banks of New York City are receiving so muck money at prsent from country banks that they are in a quandary as to its disposition, It was only a few weeks ago that cash of all kinds was at a premium now the case is exactly the reverse. The Georgia Loan and Trust Com pany, of Savannah, which has re cently been placed in the hands of receiver by Judge Falligant, is in no way connected with the Georgia Loan and Trust Company, of Americus, Ga., as their similarity of name might imply. The dispatches % from over the ocean speak of floods in China. Rain has done immense damage to our southern states, but strange to say the west has had a severe drouth and every thing is yet very dry. The crops of corn have suffered and been cut short, 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 of a circulating medium for purposes of trade, it matters not if it be cow ries, karats, wampum or certificates, it will be practically as good as gold and will answer the purpose for which it was created just as well as gold. The value of anything except labor, is ficticious and conventional. —Ex. 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 rounding country assembled in the hall of Cleveland Institute yesterday. After short talks by Dr. J. M. Spence, Col. L. L. Thomas, Prof. W. R. Skinner .and Prof. S. P. Set tle, the tollowing resoutions were passed: Resolved, by the citiccns of Waresboro in massmeeting assembled, whereas, the re ports given publicity that three hundred persons had been admitted within our gates from our sister city, and many of them after 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. Several fine essays were read by young ladies of the Institute. Little E valine Davis recited “all for the boys” well, and put the audi ence roaring with laughter. Mils Katie O’Connor, of Bruns wick, read an excellent essay on ‘ed ucation,’ which was ejoyed by all and elicited load applause. Prof. W. P. Skinner with his well trained choir rendered fine music throuhout the exercise, for which the school offered a vote of thanks, in cluding Miss O’Connor's essay. Elias Sanders, an old negro abont fifty years old, fell dead yesterday while sitting in his chair at his house. Mrs Henderson and her soo who ka\'e been spending sometime with Mrs. Dr. Spence, returned to their home at Charleston, S. C. to-day. Mr. J. B. Rigdon is completing a nice residence on Bennett street. Mrs. J. H. Hilihonse is visiting friens at Snmner. Van. Waresboro, Ga., Sep 28. Bring your orders for job printing to the Herald office. You will always get good work at lew prices. 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.
