Notice!
Waycross, Ga., Oct. 9, ’93.
The committee for the issuing of a call
iur a State meeting to be held by the
colored people in Maoon, to take action
on outrages and lynchings, decided that
said meeting be held on Wednesday,
Oct. 25th, 1893, and not on the 12th or
17th as given out by different niews-
papixa. All persons interested will
please take due notice and govern them
selves accordingly.

That Waycross is like a frog in a

That there are more pretty little

any other town.
New Enterprise for Waycross.
We learn that Messrs. Crenshaw and
Connel have rented the Youmans*
building and will open a country pro
duce and general commission business
in Waycross about the first of next
month. This firm will deal in hay,
grain and general feed supplies. Another
long felt want will he supplied.
Carter’s Corredtlou.
Surgeon Carter denies that he said
that “the section between Waycross,
Brunswick and Jesup is infected.” Wliat
he did say was that the section between
Camp Haines, Jesup and Brunswick is
infected. He says there is no infection
west of Camp Haines oi west of Jesup.
Waycross is as free from yellow fever
or any other disease as any city in the
state, perhaps a little more so.
No Yellow Ferer in Waycross.
Under the caption of “Gossip of a
Day,” the Atlanta Constitution of Sat
urday lias this paragraph. “The spread
of the fever to Jesup and Waycsoss has
caused a redoubling of quarantine regu
lations and strictures, and many are the
inconveniences to which travelers are
put”
In view of the fact that Waycross has
been repeatedly declared entirely free of
fever or sickness of any kind by the
surgeons, the authorities and the press,
and that no quarantine exists against us
from any quarter. We think it exceed,
ingly strange that a paper rs well posted
the Constitution usually is, should
publish such a statement. It is indeed
true that our quarantine is exceedingly
strict and our authorities intend to keep
it so, if we never sec another insurance
man or commercial tourist during our
natural lives, but there is not t|ic slight
est grounds for the rumor that yellow
fever has reached this place.
‘The paragraph quoted is calculated to
do Waycross great injury, and its injus
tice is glaring. We ask the Constitu
tion to correct the statement referred to
at once and emphatically. Waycross is
not really as much exposed or in half
the danger that Atlanta is. We know
full well that the Constitution would not
injure us intentionally, but wc must in
sist that “the biggest and best of all the
Southern dailies” keep a little better
posted in regard - to the movements of
yellgjv jack in Georgia.
Relief Badly Needed.
\ special telegram to the Herald just
as we arc going to press from a private
but reliable source, states that Bruns-
is badly in need of help. The Her
ald took up the first subscription in
Waycross for Brunswick, and now we
appeal again to the public for aid for the
stricken city. Will not some charitable
and leading citizen or citizens take this
matter in hand and get up further sup
plies for the suffering city.
No Health Certificate.
Yesterday morning a negro woman
and two children direct from Jackson
ville, Fla., carnc up pn Conductor
Wright’s train, but as they had no health
certificate Mayor Knight refused to allow
them to get oft’ here. Conductor Wright
said lie iutended to put the woman and
children off, whereupon he was told if
he did he would be prosecuted for break
ing the quarantine laws. The passengers
were carried on to some other point be
tween here and Savannah, with’the re
mark “that it was harder to get into
Waycross than Savannah.”
Mayor Knight*
No mayor in this or any • other town
has worked harder or more intelligently
to protect their town from the introduc
tion of yellow fever during the Bruns
wick epidemic than Mayor Knight, and
so far tic has been eminently succeeaful.
Mayor Knight has been tireless and
watchful day and night and he deserves
the gratitude nnd commendation of every
citizen, ne is the right man in the right
place.
The Old Church.
We publish in another column some
very pretty verses from the pen of Mont
gomery M. Folsom on the old chnrch in
Waycross. They will be read with In
terest. Many tender memories will still
cling aronnd the old church long after
its sacred walls have been deserted for
the beatiful new building on Gilmore
street.
Samples From Tifton.
3Ir. W. H. Love, president of the
Tifton canning factory, brought to the
city tc-day samples of canned tomatoes,
okra and tomatoes, beans, peaches and
pears. The samples exhibited by Mr.
Love are as fine as can be produced any
where and Mr. Love informs us that the
company is finding ready sale for its
products. The company had sixty acres
in tomatoes the present year and have
paid special attention to the canning of
this vegetable. Canned tomatoes are as
good as gold and always find a ready
sale. The canning industry in South
Georgia bids fair to be a big success and
the enterprising company at Tifton is
taking the lead.
Our Graded School.
■ The number of pupils enrolled iu our
white graded school to date is 305.
Others are coming in and the largest at
tendance we have ever had since the or
ganization of the public school system,
is assured. Never before perhaps, in
the history of the town has" the school
started off under more auspicious circum
stances. Larger and better school build
ings are badly needed, however, and it is
to be hoped that another year will not
elapse before wc have them.

Knott’s Fever Theory.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 9.—Gov. Northen
to-day received a call from Dr. J. J.
Knott, the physician of tills city who re
cently went to Washington to interest
Surgeon General Wyman in his phos
phoric acid poison theory of yellow
lbver. Dr. Knott hoped to have his
theory tested under government direction,
but has not as yet received authority
from Washington, and will now make
his test on his own account. His call
on the governor to-day was to get proper
credentials and letters of introduction to
the Brunswick authorities, which Gov.
Northen granted him. Dr. Knott will
go to Brunswick sometime this week.
His theory is that yellew fever is due to
phosphoric poisoning, and his remedy is
ozone and turpentine applied under
directions. <
Council Proceedings.
The City Council met in regular meet
ing on the 18th of September 1893, at
4 o’clock p. m.
Present, His Honor, Mayor Knight,
Aldermen McNeil, Justice and 3Iiller.
The minutes of meeting of August 21st,
and of the joint-meeting of August 22nd,
of the Board of Health and the city Coun
cil were read, corrected, and on motiou
confirmed.
The 3Iayor stated that it was his sad
duty to announce to the members of the
city Council, the death of one of its most
active members, Alderman E. H. Craw
ley, which sad and unexpected event
occurred on the morning of the 12th of
September, at liis home on Albany ave
nue. The 3Iayor appointed Alderman
3IcNe:l a committee to draft resolutions
of respect to the memory of Alderman
Crawley, and .present them at the next
regular meeting of Council.
On motion it was resolved that the
Clerk publish notice of an election on
Saturday, Sept. 30th, for an Alderman,
to fill the vacancy in the second ward,
occasioned by the death of Alderman
Crawley.
The 3Iayor stated that he had estab
lished a rigid quarantine against Bruns
wick on account of another outbreak of
yellow fever at that place, and on account
of the authorities of Waresboro having
allowed refugees from Brunswick to stop
there, he had also quarantined Wares
boro.
The Mayor read a telegram from Sur
geon General Wyman.
The city Attorney reported that he
had made satisfactory arrangements with
Capt. Hamilton, on the matter of settle
ment of claims against him.
It was ou motion ordered that the
books of the Tax'Collector be closed on
the ISth of October next.
The 3Iavor read the following ordin
ances of the city: “Be it ordained by
the Mayor and Council of the city ot
Waycross, and it is hereby made a law,
that if any person or persons shall harbor,
secrete, entertain, lodge or keep, or shall

The Washington correspondent of the
Atlanta Constitution says :
‘•Uncle Ben” Russell, as the Congress
man from the Second Georgia district is
familiarly known,- is probably the most
successful of the new members of Con
gress in obtaining offices for for his con
stituents. “Uncle Ben” don’t tell when
he gets an office, but he has managed to
put several South Georgians into good
fat places. The manner and address of
a person goes a long ways in getting of
fices. “Uncle 'Ben” has one of those
lovable dispositions which makes him
popular and causes every one to be an
xious to serve him.
