It Is Said II. S. Ha*nes Will Succeed
Him.—Other Changes.
(From the Times-Chion.)
H. B- Plant is to retire from the man
agement of the Plant System, and H. S.
Haines, who resigned from the system
some time ago on account of a disagree
ment with one of the officials, whom Mr.
Haines thought was trespassing upon his
authority, is to succeed Mr. Plant. Mr.
Haines is now in Europe, but has been
cabled to return. He at first declined,

weeks, are the ! The salary offered must have been a
j good one, for Mr. Haines, when he left
this country, l^id organized an invest
ment company to do business in first-class
American securities in England. Being
thoroughly familiar with the subject and
having the best of financial backing be
hind him, his prospects for the success
of the new venture were excellent. This
news, while not announced officially,
comes from the inside.
This is not the only change to De made
It is said that General Superintendent
Dunham has resigned, and that B. II
Swcope, superintendent of the South
Florida division, an able railroad man
and one who is a favorite with Mr. Plant*
is to succeed to the place left vacant.
The only reason given for Mr. Plant’s
retirement is that he is too far advanced
in years to labor longer the burden at
tendant upon the management of a big
system. Mr. Plant, it is said, felt that
cent illness in New York, and was sub
sequently convinced that he must do so

New Sweet Potatoes.
The Herald office was made happy
this morning by a present of fine niw
sweet potatoes from our esteemed friend
Obcditrix Baiber, who lives nine miles
from the city near the Okefenokee
swamp. Mr. Barber has lived near the
swamp for forty years and is one of our
best farmers and one of our best citizens.
The stories lie tells of his experiences in
this section of long ago are very inter
esting. The Herald is proud to number
Mr. Barber among its staunch friends.
Plead Guilt} to Selling Whiskey.
An old man, well known in Waycri
was up before mayor Knight this morning
charged with selling whiskey. He plead
guilty to the charge, and asked the mer
cy of the court. He said that this
about the only way he cou.'d make a liv
ing. This was the second time he had
been up before the mayor on the seme
charge and he vas fined $75.
Fire Last Night.
The residence of Mr. T. M. West berry
the former baggage master at the pas
senger depot, was burned last night. Tin
fire alarm was sounded about two o’clock j the
this morning and the different hose com- tee
ided promptly, but it was I the
tat the building was just out i h' s
limits, and was too near !
i for the firemen to do any
good. It is supposed that the fire orig
inated in the kitchen, and probably
caught from a stove Hue. Nearly all the

Constable A. Boss, of Wav
arrived in the city this mo
o’clock, on the B. & W. train
charge Mr. David Sellers,
John Dixon in Pearce county
day, July 27th.
The Herald’s reporter had
terview with Mr. Sellers, wh-
headed man of perhaps sixty years of
age. He pleads entire justification in
the matter, claiming that Johu Dixon
caaie into his yard and abused him, and
when shot was engaged in moving his
fodder, which he had no right to do.
It seems that the first trouble origin
ated between Joe Dixon and Mr. Sellers,
who were farming on shares, and John
Dixon, taking the matter up, had the
difficulty with Mr. Sellers, which re-
sulte d in the killing of Dixon. Seller
tells the story in a straightforward man
ner and says lie is perfectly willing to
be tried by a juiy of unbiased Pearce
county men. He claims that lie never
intended to leave the county but wa
simply arranging to employ a lawyer and
give himself up.
Constable Boss, who seems to be a
determined olficer, though small in stat
ure, says he had no trouble in arresting
Sellers, whom lie found talking to a sec
tion hand near ICingsland, aud that he
does not fear any trouble in lauding him
;n Pearce county jail. Mr. Sellers in
formed the Herald reporter that he in
tended to go and stand his trial.
Seilers is a plain farmer and belongs,
perhaps, to that very ignorant and un
educated class, many of whom are to be
*oimd all over the laud, but he talks
straightforward, and whatever may le
jutcome ot his trial, the Th raid
satisfied that he will tell the truth
whole truth aud nothing but the
atement to court and jury.
The History all False.
Dr. Paine and Mr. Remington, up at
the drug store, have ruined everything
now, and all the histories will have to be
printed over. They interviewed an old
colored man this morning who says he
was personally acquainted with George
Washington; in fact, was raised on an
adjoining farm. He says George was an
awful liar, and he does not know any
thing about the hatchet and cherry tree
business. As further proof that he did
know Washington, he says the place
where the Father of his Country was
born was near Charleston. The old ne
gro imparted the fearful intelligence that
Washington's body was pickled in a
barrel of whiskey. The negro claims to
be 150 years of age, and by his accurate
description of events of the past, con
vinces the Herald that he is a humbug
from away back before the war

Wlnil the South Can Do.
It is evident that the south has a
hand, and therefore cheap, all the raw
materials entering into manufactures;
that its labor and cost of living are
cheaper than at the North; that it can,
in consequence manufacture goods of
all kinds at less cost than the North or
the West; that it can not only support
the home demand, but also export goods
with profit; that in finer lines of manu
factures it is Extending its operations
with success.® With all these advantages
on its side the fault will be with the
South if it fails to reach out its hands
and take what nature has so kindly
offered.—North American Review.
They Returned.
The party which went out fishing yes
terday afternoon with the intention of
staying all night returned this morning
about 2 o’clock. We have not learned
the cause of their discomfiture, but pre
sume the water was too high, the mos
quitoes too plenty, or perhaps some of
the party got snake bit, at any rate they
brought no fish.

No Connection With the Boat.
Unless there is a special Saturday
afternoon train run over the- Brunswick

Sunday on the island will have to wait

into effect the night train does not ar

Judge Sweat is O. K.
We printed last week a dispatch from
Wayeross to the Savannah News stating
tlm Judge Sweat had taken both sides
of the money question in the same dav.
Up to the time of going to press last
week we had not seen his answer to this
charge, which we cheerfully print in this
issue. The two interviews, one in the
Journal and the other in the Constitu
tion, were not inconsistent, but both op
posed the 16 to 1 craze—but we never
saw either. We take great pleasure in
setting the Judge right. During 25
years of intimate knowledge of his polit
ical career we had never known him to
be on the wrong side, and hence our sur
prise and solicitude when we read the
Wayeross dispatch. The editor of the
Times and the Judge have fought aide
by side in many a hard fought battle.
A separation now would be painful. We
are glad—exceedingly glad—that it is
not yet to be.
We had a feeling that the dispatch
did the Judge injustice, and hence we
put this heading, “He is Sound,” But it
Seenu, etc.” We* felt that he would
come out all right, and our intention in
printing it, and the editorial comment,
was to draw him out If we had seen
his card to the News it would have been
printed last week instead of the Way
cross dispatch.
The Judge is all right and hurrah for
the Judge!—Valdosta Times.

That Base Ball Park.
Editors Herald :
“Take your base.”
That is what we are going to do, on
new grounds, at the foot' of Elizabeth
street, just across the B. & W. It. R.
We have heard base bail talk and talk
about base ball, but nqjv it is a settled
fact. We are going to have a park and
that very shortly.
Now, if any of you see a brand new
board fence, with no crack to peep
through, (for we intend having the very
best accommodations in the way of grand
stand and benches, and want you inside
where you can enjoy the game from a
comfortable seat, and not go away mad
with yourself and everybody else), just
set it down that it is the B. B. park.
On days of celebration this park can
be used for other purposes, for the seat
ing capacity will be for at least 1,200
persons, including a coveted grand stand.
The notice of a meeting to be held at
the Southern Hotel, which appeared in
the Herald of Saturday, 3d, was quite
unnecessary, so far as an election of of
ficers was concerned, for our manager
having resigned that position, we were
forced to call a meeting the day before
this notice appeared.
At tins meeting the following officers
were elected by a unanimous vote of the
players: J. E. Wadley, president; C. H.
Wilson, manager; F. E. Andrews, cap
tain; H. C. Stevens, sec’y and treasurer;
J. Sydboten, scorer.
This starts base ball on a new and
more substantial foundation than ever
before in Wayeross.
We are glad to name Mr. Wadley as
our president, for we all know and ap
preciate the interest he has always shown
for the “manly exercise.”
Mr. Wilson needs no introduction to
our people in the office which he holds,
for they can remember the success of the
team organized in 1891 under his man
agement.
If the citizens will lookup the lecords
of our boys, they will find that they
richly deserve all help in this plan of

children (the two youngest twins, three
weeks old), to mourn her loss. The
heart of her husband did safely trust in
and lie is bereaved indeed. Our sis-
ras a womau of sterling worth and
essed of many admirable tra'ts of
character. She was a true, worthy and
ievoted wife; a loving, conscientious
and faithful mother, seeking constantly
t» rightly train and nurture her children
;n all lines of true and Christian living;
and doubtless the impress of her own
character and teachings have been indel
ibly fixed upon their minds and hearts.
Over ten years ago she fully gave her
heart to God and united with the Meth
odist church, and was a consistent and
faithful member until her death. During
her long and serious illness, when she
had reason to expect death auy day, she
was patient, calm, peaceful and trustful
having fully committed herself to Chris;
and feeling submissive to his will, an;
when at last the summons came unex

God is wise, good and loving, and will
oveirule and-bless.
A Month’s Vacation for Rev.
W. II. Scugffs.
The Baptist congregation yesterday
Tiled a month’s vacation to the»r beloyed
pastor, Rev. W. H. Scuggs. It is now
thought that this action should have
been taken earlier. While bearing the
burdens of others and administering to
wants of the suffering and afllicted
very hand Mr. Souggs has himself
been heavily laden with sore trials. A
very sick wife in a distant city, a delicate
little boy badly injured and requiring
constant attention, with perhaps an un
paid salary in the back ground, are
among the troubles which lie has had to
bear. Meantime we have heard no word

Landed In Jail
Mr. A. Boss, the constable who carried
David Sellers to Blackshear yesterday,
reports that he arrived safely with his
prisoner and siw him placed in Pearce
county jail. A large crowd was at the
depot to meet the officer and prisoner,
bnt no demonstrations were made. No
fears of violence are apprehended and
Sellers will be tried by a jury of impar-
t : al citizens.
The Musical Blub.
One of the most enjoyable features of
Wayeross, socially, is the Musical Club
that meets the first Tuesday in each
month at the different residences. This
club was organized last winter by Mrs.
F. C. Owens ond Miss Jennie Covington,
for the promotion of the musical and
literary talent of our city, and is meet
ing with marked success. Its officers
are Mr. C. E. Murphy, president; Mr.
W. W. Sharpe, vice president; and Miss
Jenuie Covington, secretary.
The meeting last night, at the resi
dence of Capt. C. C. Grace, was one of
the most thoroughly enjoyable ones
since the club’s organization. The pro
gram was:
Instrumental Solo Miss May Murphy
Recitation Miss Emma Albertson
Vocal Solo W. W. Sharpe
Reading R. L. Alexander
Vocal Solo Mrs. E. H. Myers
Reading S. A. Marshall
Vocal Solo Miss Blanche Sessotns
After the program selections, by re
quest, were given. The song by Miss
Hattie Grace deserves special mention.
The club meets the second Tuesday in
September at the residence of Mr. H.
Murphy.
Two Tramps Arrested.
Two tramps were arrested last night
