A Letter from ^Anti-Cattle.”
ss, Ga., July 2, ’95.
Editor Herald—Allow me space in
your columns to ask a few questions of,
and make a few remarks to, our City
Fathers.
Th- writer was passing thiough one of
our prettiest streets a few days since, and
noticed a cow standing on the outside of
a large and beautiful flower garden eat
ing the shrubbery away and playing hav
oc with the beautiful plants that grew
just inside, and along the fence. Now I
should like to ask our right-thinking al
dermen if this looks right, and if the cat
tle owners should allow their cattle to
roam the streets and do just as they
please? Then again, any night you start
out for a walk you will have to desert the
side-walks and walk in the middle of
the streets to get out of the way ot the
cattle that sleep thereon. Now why not
our city council pass an ordinance pro
hibiting stock of ali kinds from running
at large on the streets and making pas
tures and cow pens of some of our most
beautiful thoroghfares. I am sure it does
not look city like, to say the least of it
and there is not another city the size of
j Waycross in the State,' or out of it, as to
that, that allow any such nuisance. If
this cattle nuisance is to be tolerated*
why not then let the horses, hogs and
other stock have the same liberty? Their
owners pay taxes just the same as the
cattle owners. Or must the cow and bull
reign as King and Queen of Waycross?
If a horse or a hog happens.- to slip out
on the street our vigalent policemen will
slap them in tke pound very quickly, es
pecially a hog, and it generally cost the
owner something to get it out. Yet cows,
bulls and yearlings, are just twice as
much of a nuisance as that of the horse
or the hog, but nothing is said or done
about them. Another thing, there is less
danger in either a horse or a hog, than
in a cow or bull. The writer knows of
several instances where grown people,
as well as children, have been attacked
by cows. For instance, the attack made
on Mr. A. E. Vann last February.

Satterlee Departs.
Lieut. C. B. Satterlee left Atlanta yes
terday and his connection with the mili
tary of Georgia is at an end.
With the assignment of Lieut. Brown
to Georgia, his official connection with
the State militia ceased, but he remained
during the encampment and to wind up
the affairs of his office.
Lieut. Satterlee has a month’s leave
which he will spend in the North. Af
ter that Mrs. Satterlee will go to some of
the Virginia mountain resorts and the
Lieutenant will join his battery at Key
West.
The Heavens la July.
From The Atlanta Journal.
On July 1st the earth will be In aphe
lion, or three million miles farther from
the sun than in December. Nowhere in
nature is the law of compensation so
beautifully applied as in the distribution
of the sun’s heat upon the land and wa
ter masses of the earth. The great pre
ponderance of land in the northern hem
isphere, the eccentricity of the earth’s
orbit, the inclination of its axis to the
plain of the ecliptic, and the varying ve
locity of the earth in its orbit, all con
spire to produce that delicate climate
equilibrium upon which depend those
far reaching results that bring about the
great geological changes in the earth’s
history. On the 1st, Mercury will be in
inferior conjunction, and on tbe 22d he
will be seen as morning star about day
break.
Venus will reach her greatest eastern
elongation on the 11th, after which she
will begin to approach the sun again.
On the morning of the 25th a very beau
tiful conjunction of Venus and the Moon
will occur.
Both Mars and Jupiter have passed out
of view in the West, and several months
must elapse before they will appear as
morning stars. Saturn is on tbe merid
ian at sunset, and is still in a fine posi
tion for observation. Its rings are now
open to full view, and a peep at the cu
rious world through a good telescope is
full of interest.
Uranus is near Alpha Librae, but it
can scarcely be seen by the naked eye
although it is sixty five times as large as
our earth.
THE CONSTELLATIONS AND THE FIXED
STARS.
In the north, Draco and Ursa Minor
are above Polaris. Ursa Major with the
Dipper is West, and Cassiopeia below
and to the East. Along tbe ecliptic Cari-
cornus is rising, pagittarius is next.
Scorpio with its long tail swinging along
the horizon is direcily South. Libra is
past the meridian. Virgo, midway, and
Leo nearly setting. In the east the Dol
phin with Job’s coffin and Cygnus are
well up and nearly overhead to the north
east. Lyra, with the bright blue star
Vega, gems the sky with its beautiful
double and colored stare.
Georgia’s Editors.
The editorial party from the State of
Georgia lett Albany, N Y for Utica at 11
45 o’clock yesterday. The members were
shown about the city yesterday by John
Henry Farrell, president ot the New
York State Press Association. The party
visited the Executive chambers and
the absence of Gov. Morton were wel
comed by Col. Ashley W. Cole, the gov
ernor’s private secretary, who told of the
arrangements made by this State to be
represented at the Cotton Exposition, to
held at Atlanta next fall. The party
are going through Canada, after visiting
Niagara Falls.

making the announcement that a ginnery
establishment will be erected in Way-
cross in time for the next crop. For the

The Fruit Grower’s and the Railroads.
The fruit growers of Georgia have
been before the Railroad Commission
with their grievances against the rail
roads, and, after a stubborn fight, in
which they were met by representative
railroad men, they obtained a ruling
from the Commission which was a deci
ded victory for them.
The case that was brought before the
Railroad Commission was a complaint of
£Ir. Hatcher, of Marshal ville, against the
Central lailroad. Mr. Hatcher claimed
that the rates charged by the Central on
fruit from Marshal ville to Macon are ex
tortionate, and as the ease was regarded
as a test case before the Commission,
Mr. Hatcher had the co-operation of
other fruit growers.
The commissioners held that the rates
are oppressive, and. the frjrit .men who
made the fizht are jubilant..
The decision of the Commissioners on
Saturday means that a new rate on fruits
will have to be made, and the Southern
Railway and Steamship Association was
ordered to appear before the board to
morrow to fix new. rates for the fruit traf
fic.
A call has been issued for a meet
ing of the citizens of Albany, Ga.,
for the purpose of organizing a silver
league.
Agents Wanted.
Why do people complain of hard times,
when any man or woman can make from
$5 to $10 a day easily. All have heard o
the woderful success of the Climax . Dish
washer, yet many are apt to think they
can’t make money selling it; but any one
can make money because every family,
wants one. One agent has $478.36 in the
last three months, after paying all expenses
and attending to regular business besides.
You don’t have to canvass; as soon as peo
ple know you have it for sale they send
for a Dish Washer. Address the Climax
Mfg. Co., 45 Starr Ave., Columbus, Ohio
for particulars. d-3-25-6m
Special Notice to My Patrons.
Having removed my workshop to the
Blackshear Store building on Albany
avenue, I am fully prepared to make
and mend boots and shoes cheaper than
ever before. All I ask is a tnal and
you will be convinced. In order to re
ceive cash, I will cut prices. Sewed
half soles $1.00 to 85 cent;, pegged half
sole fiom 75 to 65 cents, patches from
25 to 15 cents, heels from 25 to 15 cents.
Ladies half soles sewed from $1.00 to
75 cents, pegged half soles irom 50 to
40 cents. All wor 1 : entrusted to me
shall be done A No 1.
Very Respectfully,
3mos d ’ F. J. James,
Base Ball.
There will be a match-game of base
ball to- morrow afternoon. The first
nine we expect will be in Thoinasville,
but the ‘‘stay-at-homes’’ are determined
to have a game. Blackshear is expect
ed, but should she fail to show up, two
picked teams of the best players of
Waycross will battle for honors. Game
called 3:30 p. m. Admission 10-15 cts.
Ladies free. '
Waycross for Sound Money.
There can be no doubt that the senti
ment in Waycross is largely in favor of i
sound money. If there arjs half a dozen
business men in the city who favor free !
coinage of silver at the 16 to 1 ratio, the
Herald does not know them. Waycross
may be put down in the column of the
sound money committees. In fact Way-
cross is “sound on the goose,” generally.
Notice K.ofP.
Wakefield Lodge has accepted an in
vitation to attend a public installation of
officers of Alapaha Lodge on Monday
night at Blackshear. It is earnestly re
quested by members of the committee
that all who can, will go. We will leave
on 5:45 p. m. train.

Just a Common Crook.
In Bill Cook, the notorious out
law, tbe mighty has fallen to an
ignoble level. Despite .the lawless
deeds which he and his band per
formed, to the terror of the people
of Oklahoma and contiguous terri
tory, and the difficulty and expense
attending his capture, Superintend
ent McIntyre, of the Albany (N.
Y.) penitentiary, has discovered
there is no latent wickedness in the
man; that he is merely a very or
dinary youth, stolid even to the verge
of stupidity; that there is noth
ing of the hero or the villain about
him. In short, he finds that Bill
Cook is a very commonplace crim
inal, who will need less watching
than some of his companions.
Choose Your Speech.
Those who are ordinarily tbe most
careful in speech are sometimes led
by excitement into the use of ex
pressions which convey a meaning
far different from what was intend
ed.
Tbe president of one of our lead
ing colleges was annoyed one morn
ing by the unseemly behavior of
some of the students during the
chapel services. Pausing for a mo
ment, he turned toward the disturb
ing group and in a tone of great
solemnity said:
“Young gentlemen, you evident
ly forget that by your conduct in
this place you are not only showing
disrespect to Almighty God, but
also to me.”—Ram s Horn.
