The Savannah Morning News defends Mayor Trout in his attempt to defend the negro, in an editorial as follows: The tragedy at Roanoke, Va.,Wednes day night is deplorable from every point of view. The lives o! nine men were sacrificed and many others were serious ly wounded, all on account of a worth less negro who bad committed an out rageous crime, and whom a mob deter mined to lynch in violation of law. Did the autliorites do right in using force to uphold the law 1 They unques tionably did. The very man who deter mined to lynch the negro and finally succeed in their purpose, helped to make the law and to elect the men whose duty it is to enforce it. They knew the risk they incurred when they decided to take the criminal out of the hands of the au thorities and lynch him. They are in dignant now, because they were resisted with such fatal results, but when the -excitcmeut dies out they cannot help admitting they were in the wrong and that they are responsible for the killing and wounding of so many citizens. A few years ago Birmingham was the scene of a similar tragedy. The pris oner in that case was a white man. The sheriff warned the mob of his purpose to defend the prisoner at all liazzards, but the warning was not heeded. Quite a number of citizens were killed and others were wounded. There is no room for sympathy for the Roanoke criminal who was lynched and then Burned. His crime was not one punishable by death, but nobody regrets his fate. He was entitled, however, to a trial and the law should have been permttted to take its course. The de termination of a mob to take the law into its own hands has filled many a home with sorrow and brought into ex istence feuds that may last a genera tion. Lynch law is not excusable in any community where there are courts and officers of the law. If the idea that it is should be encouraged there would soon be an cud to ln*v and order apd to the punishment of criminals by tie courts. Mob violence would take the place of law, and white caps would un dertake to regulate the business and morals of communities. Safety lies in strict obedience to to the lawC CJuhs and loaded shells very cheap, if - Youmans & Gerber's. Kettle ('reck Dots. Rev. S. V. Jeffords lias returned from Indian Springs where he went for his health. He reports that he mended while there. The Wilkinson high school is grad ually increasing. Our Sunday school was reorganized last Sunday under the management of Mr. M. A. Thigpen Superintendent. He has about twenty-five scholars- on bis rool now and about ten more yet to put on. Mr. D. J. Jeffords who has been sick for some time is somewhat improved. Mr. C. E. Giddens went up to church at Col. W. A. McDonald’s last Sunday. He reports a fine time. Prof. J. W. Rutherford was bitten by a dog last evening bnt not seriously hurt. Mr. G. W. Wilkerson was kicked by a Texas mule yesterday but the damage to liis person was slight. Waresboro Wavelets. Tbo weather for the past two weeks has been all that the most exacting could wish for, and the farmers has been busy as bees gathering the fleecy staple of which there is a heavy crop. The rice yield is reported large, as one would readily believe from seeing the immense loads brought to Spence & Davidson’s rice mill daily. We are pleased to note that the revival at the Congregational Methodist church, near Col. W. A. McDonald’s, resulted in much good being done for the Master. There were a great many accessions to the church. Waresboro has quite a large number of Brunswick refugees in her midst at pres ent. They are among the best people of Brunswick, and contribute much to wards making life enjoyable here. Prof. Skinner who is teaching a- class of vocal music at this place, accompa nied by several of his pupils, spent last Sunday at Waltertown. They report an excellent time. Prof. Settle our veteran educator is entering on his labors for the advance ment of Cleveland Institute. It was our pleasure to be present on last Friday af ternoon and recitations essays black board exercises etc., speak volumes for our efficient principal, and assistants. Mr. J. I. Haines and Miss Delilah Wilson were married on yesterday at the home of the bride’s lather, Mr.-J. H. Wilson. Rev. D. J. Miller officiating. They will make their home in Wares boro. We wish them fair sailing o’er life’s sea.. ‘‘Van.” Waresboro, Ga. Sept. 25th, I89h. Yellow Fever News and Notes. The whole country joins Brunswick in its prayer for an early frost. Mike Eagan the correspondent of the Savannah Press has had to hustle. The Times-Advertiser claims that there is still 5,000 people in Brunswick. About two fifths-white and three-fifths colored. The Brunswick T-A. states that it will tell the truth the whole truth and noth ing but the truth about the yellow fever in Brunswick. That’s the way we had put the T-A. down from the first. Quitman and Brooks county are send ing forward liberal contributions to Brunswick. Macon has raised eight hundred dol lars for the Brunswick sufferers. The refugees at Camp Haines are in good health and spirits. The fare is good and the accommodations are com fortable. The T.-A. says: It is common for people who have had the prevailing sickness in their families; after being pronounced well by the attending physi cians, to come down town and deny it, giving many extravagant reasons for so declaring. In this respect it seems that Brunswick is burdened with fools. Dr. Branham makes his headquarters at Hotel St Simon, where he'bas been assigned by the board of health. John Mullens, the policeman who died in Brunswick yesterday, weighed 320 jiounds He was called “baby Mullens,” and was a fine officer. The microbe is no respector of persons. It goes for the great and the small. The completed census of Brunswick shows a population of 5,252, of these 1,205 are white. The colored popula tion outnumbers the white abcut 401. It seems that Mike Eagan has not left; Brunswick after all, but lias wired the United States Marshal for protection. A committee is to make another investiga tion of the charges made against him. It is rumored that Eagan is being backed by the negroes of Brunswick, who greatly outnumber the whites. The entertainment for the benefit of Brunswick, given bv the newspaper men of Atlanta, on Friday night was a great success and the proceeds amount to nearly $900. Brunswick’s family fusses- are almost as bad as the yellow fever. Dr. Knott, of Atlanta, left for Washing ton yesterday to induce the Surgeon-Gen eral to send him to Brunswick to try his new treatment for yellow fever. He says the fever is the result of phosphoric acid poisoning. Some of them persist in calling it “the prevailing sickness.” Well it is the prevailing sickness, but its yellow fever all the same. St. Simon Island has shown a re markable health record so far. There is an impression that a September residence on the beach is not at all desirable; but the village of some six hundred people will show a freedom from sickness that is seldom found in any quarter of the country at this time ol the year.—Times Advertiser. It is thought that the infection at Brunswick will spread more slowly from this time until it plays out entirely. Governor Northern has given Surgeon Murray permission to use the arms of the Brunswick Rifles in maintaining the cordon around the city. The E. T. V. & G. R. R. have offered their docks, three miles from Brunswick, for unloading Dr. Jenkins’ steamship with relief supplies. Notice of Dissolution.

IN THE SANCTUMS. There was never a more convincing argument of the power of the press than is being witnessed in this country just now. At the very moment stricken Brunswick appealed to the outside world for help the press in every section took up the cudgel for the poor and needy, and it has wrought a great work. Contributions have been started every where and it is safe to s-y now that Brunswick’s wants will be attended to in a very substantial manner. The press is great and it is good.—Albany Herald. Albany sent in a large contribution of supplip to Brunswick on Saturday. The Darien friz Ate says: W. Y. Atkinson wants t • ’>e governor of Geor gia. If the “savior of the state in the last campaign” wants anything else, why he should no: hesitate to ask for it The Downing Company pulled up stakes last Saturday and moved to Way- cross. The whys and wherefores of this move on the part of that company furnishes the people of Tilton a large size morsel of food for thought and action.—Tifton Gazette. Little white gnats or butterflies have made their appearance in Quitman and Thomasville in great numbers. They look like a very small white butterfly and simply fill the air. They arc harm less but have been voted a nuisance. Hugh Malone, a white man who kill ed two negroes at Wolsey, Ga., was cap tured at Parkville, Henry county, on the 24th inst. The contest between Montezuma and Oglethorpe lor the removal of the court house is at an end and Oglethorpe still, holds the fort. 1 There are eleven prisoners in jail at Baxley. Baxley is putting on city ways. A man who owes several years sub scription on a newspaper, and asks the postmaster to send it back marked “re fused,” is, in our estimation, mean enough to put tar in his.hat when tak ing up church collection in order to steal small change.—Dalton Citizen. Mrs. Martha Grant, the wealthiest wo man in Georgia, died at her home in At lanta on the 26th inst. It is said that the president has prom ised Hon. B. E. Russell a consulate in Germany for Rev. J. L.^ Underwood, of Camilla.—Calhoun County Ttrae?. The Herald reaches the people. Hog cholera is thinning out the shouts in Brooks county. A. H. Birdsong lias been nominated for treasurer of Hancock county. The Horne murderer in Thomas coun ty has not yet been fully located. The Augusta Exposition and State Fair has been postponed until Novem ber 14th. The Albany Guards will give an en tertainment for the benefit of the Bruns- I wick sufferers. s. A few days ago the Hustler of Rome inserted a small “ad.” for a young far mer who wanted a wife. Since then U has received twenty-eight letters and a postal card, and if he has’nt gotten his wife he has—“most”—The Hustler. The Way cross Herald of last Friday reached us yesterday (Monday.) Uncle Sam needs to inquire into the mail facili ties down this way.—Albany advertiser. Our Albany friends are assured that the Herald is mailed them promptly every afternoon. Oar Gaests. It is well known that there are a num ber of Brunswick people in Waycross, all of whom have been here some weeks, most of them over a month. And while we do not think it necessary to do so, still there is no harm in calling the at tention of our citizens to the fact that these good people are our guests and should receive more than ordinary at tention. That the ladies especially, of. the Brunswick contingent, are heart sore and lonely, is but a natural suppo sition, and we ask that our own noble women see to it that they do not lack for those little attentions which only woman knows how to offer. Life is short and after all, its amenities are all that makes it worth liv ing. Look up the lonely and grief stricken strangers in our midst, if such there be, and bid them be of good cheer. They will appreciate it now and the re- mem be ranee of your kindness will lin ger with them in the years to come. Waycross must not be found wanting in the matter of hospitality to the stranger within our gates.
