C., Jan. 3.—The Ways and Means Committee, bv a vote of six to five, decided, last night to recommend a tax of 2 per cent, on the income of in dividual and corporations of over $49,- 000. They claim that it will effect only 85,000 people in the United'S tates. The advocates of the bill are confi dent that it will pass. The fight over the income tax will be bitter. The Georgia Representatives crj pleased with the action of the Com mittee. A Democratic caucus .will be held Friday or Saturday night. As the bill comes frtm this caucus it will pass the House within fourteen days, according to plan of Committee on yesterday. A resolution was offered by Mr. Tyc in the Senate to-day that there should be no action taken by the President in the Hawaiian matter until after the investi gating committee reports. It was ta bled.

It appears to be extremely difficult for Indians to acquire a proper concep tion of the English language as it should be written. Here is a letter from one of the boys at the Carlisle Industrial school: Now let the asparagus grow, let it grow just as high as it wants to boss, Now "iv poor back pretty now play don’t now, I can hardly cut any* more, but any how I try hard.

Why should the people meekly submit to having in competent men forced upon them as their officials when there are men of high character and broad and progres sive views who arc willing to serve them? Why should they accept as can didates those who announce themselves as such if they are in doubt as to their fitness? They ore not bound to accept those whose chief merit is their pre- sistency in seeking office. They should act with independence and judgement, calling only upon those to serve them whom they have good reason to believe could and would serve them efficiently and faithfully. And this rule should govern them in choosing every official from govei nor down to justice of the peace. Notice. Thirty live acres good farm land to rent, just outside city limits on the B. & W.

Juliet Cordon has resigned from Sea- brook’s “Isle of Champaigue” company. Paul Kester, the author of “Zamar,” Alexander Salvini’s new play, is only 20 years old. Walter Jones, the comedian of •V192,” is writing a burlesque to be en titled “Montezuma.” Disharmony ji$- altogether, sat- Mrs. Lease appears to be a ulbt and inclined to kick up a roy’ because a democrat had beeu ap pointed by the governor to the responsi ble office of steward of a deaf and dumb asylum. It was tor this reason, it is said, the governor concluded to turn her down and clip her claws to the extent ot his ability. But Mrs. Leasels as full of fight as a wild cat and instead of trying to have herself reinstated by pleading she proposes to do it by force and to that end she has employed the services of an attorney. Meanwhile she has re tracted her retraction of her famous in terview just after the recent election and reiterates the statement then made that populist administration of Kansas is rot- ton to the core and that the populist leaders arc not to he trusted. She de clares not only that the populist admin istration is corrupt, but that it is more corrupt than any republican administra tion that ever disgraced Kansas, and there was never, perhaps, such bitter warfare as she proposes to wage against it. Governor Lewelling will probably learn befor the campaign is over that “hell hath no fury like a woman scorn ed,” but, to transpose the language of the irate female, he can probably .stand it it she can. ]>*ath of Mrs. Keggs.

OWENS ' The Leading Ciothier, Ovven’s Block, Waycross, Ga. OCR SCHOOL populatio:.. :« Whito.i Gaining and the Negroes Losing iu Numbers. At the meeting of the County Board- Education yesterdaj, a: representative of the Herald caught some interesting and significant facts in connection with the school population of Dougherity county, n.- d.ovelopcd by the school cen sus, wlpch had previously escaped his nqt:oe. '■^pi'yTo lias been a gratlual los popifiatiwn - of the county for vent-g m -r, but ihe-if.sH has been vhih* The different European nations are taking their turns in fighting the un civilized. The English’ have been busy with the Matabeles, the Span ish with the Moors, and the Italians have just had a battle with the der vishes in Africa and the Uuited States may have to pull congress down off its high tariff perch. Of course, civilization has and will tri umph. The worst foe of all, how ever, is indiginous to its pwn soil. It is a hidraheaded monster, a hid eous thing and insidious. It is red handed anarchy. The Prettiest of All. The prettiest of all the calendars re ceived at this office recently, is the one from the Atlanta Journal. It is a gem of taste and beauty and is a credit to that great paper. Mrs. EVij;-. ll. asleep r.tthe home of her youngest'daughter, Mrs. E. E. McVeigh, in. the city of Jacksonville, Fla., ou Saturday'morning Dec.^0,1893. She was a native of-S /uth Carolina, but was - a reddent rJ^VnycrCSS for a number of years. She lived in the city where siie died most of the time lor the past three or lour years. In early girlhood she joined the Methodist church, gave her heart to the Lord and consecrated herself to his ser vices, and to the end of her earthly career she had unfaltering faith in the Master and died triumphant in that taith. Mrs. Keggs was 56 years, 9 mouths and 11 days old, and was the mother of two daughters, 51 rs. D. E. and E. E. McVeigh, both of whom survive her. She leaves also a husband, two sisters and a host of friends to mourn her death. ‘■But there is no death! the stars go down To rise upon some fairer shore And bright in heaven’s jeweled crown, They shine forever more.” No, weeping sisters, and sad-hearted daughters, your loved one is not dead, but after a life well spent in the ecrvice of the Master she rests well. “Life’s race well run, Life’s work well done. Life’s crown well won, Now comes rest.” In Evergreen cemetery, Jacksonville, they laid her away, and a mound of clay marks the spot where she sleeps. Lov ing hands will see that her grave is kept green as the seasons come., and go, but she will dwell in the house prepared for her by the Saviour, beyond the sunset’ radiant glow. “ ’Tis the land of our God, ’Tis the home of our soul. Where ages of splendor eternally roll. Where the way-weary, traveler reaclic his goal. On the evergreen mountains of life.” A Friend.

Judge Turner Is All Right. The favorable vote on the question of an individual income tax, so far as Judge Turner was concerned, excited no surprise here. It is known to his collea gues that the distinguished Georgian has favored an individual income tax for the past ten years, in fact, ever since he en tered Congress.. He believes it is the best means of removing from our people the clutches of protection. Judge Turner, who has a sense of the fitness ol things, unusual among con gressman, uaturally declined to discuss a measure which was being considered before the committee, but his views nev ertheless were well known. It is thought probable here that future politics in Georgia had something to do with the widely circulated story of his holding the balance of power on the in come tax. If so, the effort to put him “in a hole” politically has signally failed.--Washington Correspondent Jour nal. Confedi'-rato Veterans. Waycross, Ga., Jan. 4th, 1894. • Editors Herald: In response to numerous inquiries, T desire to give no tice through your columns, that the us ual annual meeting of the South Georgia Confederate Veterans Association will not he held tills year, but in lieu thereof all Confederate Veterans are’urged to meet at their . respective county court houses or 'elsewhere as they may choose oirdunuary 19th, the anniversary of the birth of General Lee, and a legal holi day, for th-i purpose^ oi suitably com memorating the day, paying appropriate tributes to the memory of comrades who have'died during the past year, perfect ing their county associations, and taking such other action ns to ‘hem may seem proper.

Smith & Lott Bound Over to Wait the Action of the Grand Jury. Special to the Herald. Douglas, Ga., Jan. 3d, 1894. Hyram Smith and Elam Lott, charged with having burned Mr. Benage Peter son's barn, and the barn of a Mrs. Peter son in Coffee county, some time in July, last year, appeared in Douglas to-day for commitment trial. Col. S. W. Hitch, of Waycross, appeared to prosecute them. They waved* examination and gave a good bond for their appearance at the spring term of the superior court From the interest evinced by the large atten- dence of friends to-day, it is quite evi dent that all feeling has not died out in i this case yet Conductor Waddell Seriously Injured While train 17^was running at full speed near Fleming, last night, Conduc tor Waddell fell from the top of a box car and was seriously hurt. The train went to Jesup before he was missed. He managed to crawl into the office at Flem ing. A doctor was sent for when it was found that his jaw bone was broken and he was otherwise seriously injured. He was sent to Savannah this morning. A Leader. Since its first introduction, Electric Bitters has gained rapidly in popular favor, until now it is clearly in the lead' among pure medicinal tonics aud altera tives—containing nothing which permits its use as a beverage or intoxicant, it is recognized its the best and purest medi cine for all ailments of stomach, liver or kidneys. It will cure sick headache, in digestion, constipation, and drive malaria from the system. Satisfaction guaran teed with each bottle or the money will be refunded. Price only 50 cents per bottle. Sold by A. B. McWhorter & Co., E. B. Goodrich and B. J.JSinitli. A Permanency. The publishers of the Waycross Even ing Herald determined some months since to make it a permanency,hut its ex cellency in the future must depend, to a great extent, upon the patronage it re ceives. Its projectors and originators have had no special cause td complatn during the nine months of its existance. We have paid our bills kept the paper going and haved lived after a fashion ourselves. With more liberal patronage, however, we could give Waycross a bet ter paper, and we now appeal to our business men to come to ouv aid during the year 1894. We ask uo contribu tions, but only legitimate and proper patronage. What helps us helps you. It has been plainly demon strated during the past year that the Herald has brought thousands of dollars of new business to the city, and we pro pose to keep- up the lick. Waycross is verging from townliood into cityhood and she must be kept moving. We can not stand still. If we fail to keep on the up grade we are certain to get on the retro grade. In our present condition nothing is more necessary to our future well being than a live progressive news paper. This we propose to give you, and we feel that what we have done in the past entitles us to your support in the future. Help us and we will help you. Our failure would be your loss. A Cuie for Twenty Cents. Any remedy sold at one dollar a bot tle which claims to cure rheumatism, is simply an imposition, for when all ex penses are deducted it leaves not more than twenty cents to represent the medi cine. Dr. Drummond’s Lightning Rem edy, which is performing such wonder ful cures that it is being prescribed by the medical faculty everywhere, is com pounded at great expense from rare drugs and cannot be sold for less than Five Dollars a bottle. But it always cures. Sent prepaid to any address on receipt of price. Drummond Medicine Ca, 48- 50 Maiden Lane, New York. Agents wanted.
