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. D. A. McGee. From Wednesday's Evening Herald ] Mrs. J. II. Quinn returned from Thomas- ville yesterday. Capt O. W. Jackson and Supt. A. A. Avclhe are in the city.

Mr. Strickland superin tended the burial of the stranger and had him decently interred. Among the effects of the stranger was $41 in money.

We the Grand Jury choson to serve at the November term of court 1893 submit the fallowing^. general present 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. The bridge across Hog creek is badly in need of repairs. We find the public buildings in good condition, and the prisoners healthy and well taken care of. The committee appointed to examine the hooks of Justice of the Peace find them correct except in a few instances the Justice failed to insert the district term and date on their books. That the 1082nd and 1290th districts have only a small blank hook furnished by the Jus tices and recommed that they be fur nished with hooks. We have appointed A. H Morgan, J. H. Gillon and D. J. Miller a commit tee to examine the hooks of the county officers and make their report to the next Grand Jury, and we aecommcnd that they be pajd $2.50 per day each for said services. We find that the railroad companies comply with the law in furnishing com fortable and well ventilated coaches for passenger, well supplied with wholsome drinking water and properly lighted at night. We recommend that David Smith, Manor, Ga., and S. A. Temples, Wares boro, Ga., be placed on the paupers list at $5 per month each. We recommend that E. S. Henderson, J. M. McQuaig and H. L. Herring, road commissioners, be allowed to change the public read near Manor so as to run on south side of D. J, Aldridges plantation. 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 Waltertown and at Waycross in good condition, and the convicts well taken care of. We recommend the appointment of C. C. Thomas as solicitor for the county court of Ware county and that our rep resentative, Hon. Leon A. Wilson, be instructed to notify the governor of the action of this body.
