Below lYc Publish an Interesting In
terview* With Judge Sweat liy
a- Representative of the
, Herald.
Waycross, <5a., May 12, 1894.
Meeting Judge J. L. Sweat, of the
i Brunswick Circuit, in town to-day, we.
, asked him what he thought of the resj-
lutions recently adopted by democratic
mass meetings in several of our counties
I endorsing President Cleveland’s udmin-
; tration, and his interpretation of the
j Chicago Platform.
“Well,? said he, “while it is well

universally popular>[ ocrati yct I 10 l d in K Ute judicial office I
do, I refrain from taking an actine part
in partisian politics. .Still I have no
hesitation in saying that in my opinion
the resolutions referred to arc mainly
the result of a desire on the part of
wiregrass democrats to maintain party
unity and organization by preventing a
.split ami consequent disorganization
over the policy of the administration,
and a purpose to repel the assaults be
ing made by populists and others upon
the pjffe-’s president. In addition to
this tifcte is a deep abiding confidence
in the wisdom, patriotism, honesty and
integrity of President Cleveland, and a
belief and hope that during this admin
istration bimetallism by international
agreement or otherwise will yet be ac
complished. Notwithstanding all this
there is little doubt, I think, but that
wiregrass democrats generally favor what
is popularly understoon as the southern
and western idea on financial questions
as opposed to the Wall street and east
ern idea. Should congress -and the ad
ministration succeed in getting together
and passing and putting into operation
at an early date a good tariff reform
measure and the repeal of the ten per
cent, tax on State banks of issue, there
is little if any doubt that the-party will
carry the country again in the fall elec
tions.”
Such expressions from a man who is*
probably better posted oil the great po
litical questions of the day than anyone
else in this section, will be very encour
aging to the democrats of South Geor
gia.

- The Bank of Waycross.
We call special attention to the ad
vertisement of the Bank of Waycross, in
this issue of the Herald. The new bank
was opened on the first of the month,
and lias been doing a splendid business
from the State. Mr. Woodworth, the
cashier, understands liis business thor
oughly, ami is already very jtopular in
the city. Ed Crawley, one fff our own
boys, is-assistant cashier, and his gentle
manly healing and polite mnuncr will
win friends for the bank. Mr.F. C. Owens,
who is now president, is one of our well
known and successful business men and
his name is sufficient guarantee for the
safe and proper management of the new
bank, and its success is assured.

No More Drilling in the City*
In a few days arrangements will have
been perfected and there will be no
more drilling of freight trains in the
city. ^Tbe frejoht trains will do their
dmlthgrih the splendid new yard of the
S. F. & W. at the west end. A new
pusher will be put on duty which will
make three. The new pusher, it is un
derstood will do the drilling for the pas

-F. & W. R. R. is rapidly increasing,
hence the necessity for the change. The
citizens of Waycross hail the new ar
rangement with pleasure.
