Waycross, Ga., Nov. 7.—Editor
Morning News: In your issue of Oct.
25, appeared a letter from your Douglass
cot respondent, which is so unjust to the
Savannah, Florida and Western Rail
way, and has excited so much unfavora
ble comment among the employes of
the road, that I, as an employe of twenty
years standing of said railroad, in the
capicity of foreman, supervisor and con
ductor, desire to enter my protest against
the article in question.
The author of “A Tale of Horrors or
Wrecks on the Plant System,” whom
your Douglass correspondent is advertis
ing, is pretty generally known to be a
discharged employe of the Savannah,
Florida and Western, discharged several
years ago for incapacity.
His statement that he was in charge
of a wrecking train on this road from
1878 to 1890, is the first stretch of the
vivid imagination from which he draws
his “tale of woe.” There was no such
thing as a wrecking train or crew dur
ing the years stated, nor has there ever
been on the Plant System.
Owing to the care with which the
road-bed is maintained, accidents have
been infrequent, and, with one excep
tion, of the mildest character. Wrecks
have been removed by the nearest work
trains, sometimes assisted by roadway
gangs, and a shop force, sent out with a
steam crane, which latter tbe road has
owned only since 1889.
The animus of the authoi of tbe pro
posed book is so evidently unworthy to
those who think they have discovered
his identity, as to make them desire his
exposure before a gullible public is al
lowed to swallow his thrilling narrative.

Death of a Stranger.
A stranger, named Richard Moore,
arrived at the Phoenix hotel, this city,
from Morristown, Tenn., on the 10
o’clock train Saturday morning. He
fainted at the depot and was taken to
the Phoenix hotel and at 4
o’clock p. no. he was a corpse. Mr.
Moore was in the last stage of consump
tion and had a railroad ticket to Una-
tilla, Fla. Mr. Strickland of the Phoenix
telegraphed to Morristown immedictcly
upon the death of the stranger, but had
received no answer up to yesterday
morning. The remains were interred in
Lott cemetery. Mr. Strickland superin
tended the burial of the stranger and
had him decently interred. Among the
effects of the stranger was $41 in money.

ments :
We find the public roads in good con
dition with the following exceptions:
The road from Col. McDonalds to
Waresboro, just inside the incorporation
of the town, needs ditching.
The road near Mr. Bagleys in bad
condition, hut a request is now before
the county commissioners, to make a
change in the road, and as soon as they
act,all the work will be put on said road.

small blank hook furnished by the Jus
tices and recommed that they be fur
nished with hooks.

The present road runs through a lane
not as wide as the regular public road,
and is very crooked.
We recommend that John Boyles be
temporarily dropped from the pauper
'list.
We find the convict camps, both
