A Big Plant.
The gigantic structure for the Graham
Printing company, at Port Tampa City,
is nearing completion and it will Be
ready for occupancy by the 15th of No

with a handsome slate roof and elegant

constructed. About two car
loads of machinery, including presses,
paper cutters, stereotyping outfiits, etc.,
have already arrived, with about ten
more car loads to come. The machin
ery will be run by electricity and it is
the intention to have the entire plant in
operation by February 1. It i» said that
the employes of the concern will num
ber between sixty and seventy-five and
that they will be' imported from New
Orleans.
cation given by Spence could not
be hinted at in public print or repeated
in private conversation. There were
also other good and sufficient reasons for
the course the Herald has seen fit ti
pursue which L is unnecessary to enu
merate, but which are thoroughly un
derstood by the parties at interest.
We make the above statement for no
special reason, but simply because we
desire to do so and to avoid the charge
of a lack of journalistic enterprize. The
Spence-McNeil case will soon be a thing
of the past.
The Other Side of It.
Editor Waycross Herald: Your'
report in last evening’s issue, of the dif
ficulty between Alec Weiss and Ben
Jones, does the former a serious injus
tice. Aleck has his faults, and some of
them may be said to he humpers, but in
this instance they do not seem to have
been called into requisition.
I was present at his trial and heari
the evidence of Mr. J. W. Strickland
and Dr. A. P. English for the city and
that of Mr. Arthur Vann for the defen
dant. The testimony of these three gen
tlemen were to the effect that Ben Jones
applied a most approbious epithet to
Aleck, at the same time drawing his
knife. Aleck then got a brick and ap
proaching Jones, said that the knife and
brick would better be dispensed with
and the matter settled with fists. A lit
tle later Jones came up without the
knife, and repeated his insulting lan
guage, whereupon Aleck knocked him
down with his fist.
His Honor, the Mayor, considered
Alex.’s justification complete, and so ex
pressed himself in rendering his decision.
The same sense of justice which dictated
this correction, will, I feel assured, cause
you to publish it with pleasure.
Very respectfully,
F. B. Trent.
We publish the above statement of Mr
Trent with pleasure, and do not doubt
that it contains a true statement of the
case as it was made out before the
Mayor.
Our information was to the effect
that Jones was very drunk and that
Weiss was teasing him and finally got
his knife, and afterwards knocked him
down. The Herald is no especial ad
mirer of Mr. Weiss, but would not in
tentionally, do him or any one else an
injustice, and it may be that in this in
stance he had provocation for knocking
a very drunk man in the head with a
brick. We repeat, we would not inten
tionally injure any one, but decline to
apologize for our statement of yesterday,
inasmuch as it was based upon what we
supposed to be reliable information and
upon the general hypothesis that Weiss
has his failings w hich, to use the word
of Mr. Trent “are humpers.”
>'o Fever at Blackshear.
Blackshear, Ga., Nov. " 6.—The
health officer of this place sent the fol
lowing to the correspondent of the Morn-
g News:
I understand that through the caprice
of a couple of boys, the report has gone
out that there is a case of- yellow fever
here in Blackshear. I desire you to
state in the Morning News for me that
this report is without any foundation
whatever. There js not a particle of
truth in it. W. P. Williams.

There can be no doubt that the

much to do with the present Demo

It is announced from Paris that
the Russian military commission has
completed satisfactory tests of a
navigable balloon at Warsaw.
Let the Democratic party console
itself that thi9 is the best time for
defeat if it had to come. It gives us
an opportunity to prepare for the big
fight.
Statistics just issued by the Ge
ological Survey show that the total
coal ontput of the United States
during last year was 179,000.000 tons,
valued at the mines at $207,567,381.
More than half, or 99,000,000 tons,
was mined in Pennsylvania.
It is hard to convince the people
that the evils we are suffering from
came to us under Republican rale.
An idea prevails with the masses that
Democratic administration should
change everything as if by magic.

Yesterday was an oft day at the com-

H. W. Reed, master of roads of the

bacon, canned beef and tomatoes,
which welcome contribution has been

The Stale Bank Tax.
“E. P. S.,” the Washington <
pondent of the Columbus Enquin
writes:
Most Southern Congressmen left here
are honestly in favor of the measure to
repeal the taxon state bank notes. The
hope is that the president will suggest
this measure in liis forthcoming message,
as two of his cabinet (Smith and Her
bert) are known to strongly favor such a
bill. Some alarm has been generated
by the grandiloquent announcement of
Representative Springer,chairman of the
committee of banking and currency, that
he is opposed to state banks, and the
inquiry naturally arises, it he was known
to disapprove of this measure, why was
he selected as chairman of the commit
tee which would have to dear with it,
especially as he knows it to be a popu
lar measure in the south, and that such
an eminent economist as John Dewit
Warner of New York, and other eastern
pesple favor.
