THE’WAYCROSS HERALD SATURDAY AUG. .31, 1895.
SHORT EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS
Tbomasville’s trade day promises
to be a grand occasion.
And now Savannah wants another
big theater. The Forest City has
not been greedy on this line in tne
past years.
It Is understood that Maj. Black
will not meet Tom Watson on the
stamp. We don’t know what the
doughty Tom and the Major have to
debate about anyhow.
£lt is estimated that every Cuban
killed by the Spanish, in the war now
being waged on the island, has cost
the Spanish government $50,000.
Cuban rebels come high.
HConverts to the sound money doc-
trine are getting to be as plentiful as
pig tracks in Georgia. While the
lamp holds out to burn, the vilest
sinner, etc.
Paris has given up the]idea of in
structing its school children in mili
tary drill. The municipal council
has disbanded the battalion and or
dered the guns and equipments to be
sold at auction.
The Savannah Press say3: ‘‘Way-
cross is declared to be a little Monte
Carlo.”
The Press has evidently been read
ing some of the Waycross corres
pondent’s '‘specials to the Savannah
News.
The city council of Thomasville
has passed a resolution to the effect
that whenever the city is garnisheed
on account of a debt of one of its
employes, contracted while in the
city’s service, and he cannot show a
satisfactory excuse foi not having
paid it, that said employe shall be
discharged.
Hon. O. B. Stevens, of Dawson,
cRnies in a column article in the Al
bany Heruld, over his own signature,
that he has been converted to the gold
standard. The Atlanta Journal
should apologize to the gentleman.—
Americu3 Times-Recorder.
If, after reading Mr. Stevens’ arti
cle in the Herald, the Journal or any
body else can locate him, then the
Journal ought to apologize; other
wise Mr. Stevens ought to apologize.
Dong Fong, a Chinaman, got into a
fight and was sentenced to three years
in the penitentiary. The prison barber
cut off his cue, and now Dong Fong
sues the state of New York for $10,000
damages. He may console himself that
the cue will grow out again before he
gets his money.
America will this year produce the
most tremendous corn crop in her his
tory. Let our consuls in Europe make
themselves of some use and do their
best to increase the sale of corn and
commeal as human food in their re
spective districts.
The Spaniards have put off the end of
the Cuban rebellion till 1896. They do
well It looks now as though the na
tions will be recognizing the republic
of Cuba by the time 1890 arrives.
Mr. Mora gets his million and a half
Sept. 15, just too late for him to go to
Europe and spend a large share of it cn
a summer trip.
Sir John Franklin.
It was iii Warwickshire that I mads
'the acquaintance of Sir John Franklin,
while I was still quite a child. The
stout, good humored gentleman, whose
imago appears before me as I write his
name, is associated in my mind with an
event in which he took the keenest in
terest—a total eclipse of the sun—but the
amusement afforded by a rather absurd
incident connected with it I am afraid
• engrossed my childish mind more than
all the scientific explanations of the
phenomenon which Sir John Franklin
was so well qualified to give.
In those primitive days it was held
that the best mode of witnessing the ob
scuration of the sun was to watch it
through pieces of smoked glass, with
which we were all duly provided when
we sallied forth to an open piece of
ground where nothing impeded the view.
The result was that in the course of a
few minutes the poses of every one pres
ent were severely blackened—uncon
sciously to themselves—and the appear
ance of the whole scientific party was
irresistibly comic.
Sir John Franklin appeared then so
full of life and euorgy'and high spirits
that it was difficult to think of him aft
erward as the wornout suffering hero of
that last fatal voyage, which held the
country in suspense as to his fate during
a period cruelly long and trying to his
wife and to all who had relatives among
his companions in the icebound vessels.
One of my cousins was of the number,
and I well remember the sensation in
his home when some of the relics of the
disastrous expedition, afterward brought
back, were identified as having belonged
to him.—Blackwood’s Migarina.
Good Times In the South.
No part of this great country is
“catching up” faster than the south. A
correspondent of the St Louis Globe-
Democrat who has been making inqui
ries in the various sections, gets a uni
versally cheerful report The hard times
of the past two years have actully been
beneficial to the south in the lessons they
have taught The farmers on their part
have been forced by the need of cash in
to raising more diversified crops, par
ticularly fruit and vegetables.
Planters also largely increased the
production of pigs and poultry, thus
raising their own meat to a great ex
tent In Georgia the early fruit crop
brings into the state $1,500,000 of
spending money just when the agricul
turist needs it must to tide him over the
first half of summer.
The country merchants of the south
have also learned a most valuable les-
Taught by the losses of the past
two years, they have become more par
ticular in giving credit and much more
exacting in demanding cash payments.
They had to do it or go under. The re
sult is that the cash payment system,
the only one that will wear, has be
come more common in the south than it
was before. If it should become
general throughout the United States,
it will be millions in our pockets.
Bank deposits in Atlanta for tbe first
c months of this year are $800,000
more than they were for the same time
in 1894, which shows that a large
omouut of money is making ready for
investment. There has been in the region
of which Atlanta is the center an in
crease in volume of trade of from 12 to
20 per cent Prices are everywhere low,
however, but this very fact will increase
the volume of trade. Many will take
advantage of low prices to make large
purchases.
Arkansas reports a boom of immigra
tion, chiefly agricultural, from all parts
of the north and is happy accordingly.
Dallas mentions great improvement in
trade, increase of manufacturing indus
tries and “two or three new railroads
heading for this city.” It is to be
hoped they will not go into the hands
of receivers under at least two years.
That great coal and iron center, Bir
mingham, reports an increase of SO per
cent of business over last year. New
plants, whose construction involves the
expenditure of hundreds of thousands,
are in process of erection.
The state arbitration law recently
passed in Illinois is one of the best de
vised hitherto. Under its provisions the
board of arbitration will consist of three
members. Of these one must be an em
ployer of labor and another must be a
workingman and a member of a labor
organization. Any strike or lockout in
an establishment employing more than
25 workmen may legally be taken in
hand by the board. It will investigate
both sides and reconpnend to the two op
posing parties such settlement as seems
to it wise. Of course the law cannot
compel either side to accept the settle
ment, but a recommendation of the state
board will undoubtedly have due weight.
One provision of the law is that no two
members of the bbSrd shall be of the
same political party. A-ktate in which
this law is in force to keep on
hand a varied assortment of political
parties.
If the new submarine boat built in
France for the Brazilian government
does what is claimed for it, then even
sunken torpedoes will no longer be a re
liable defense for a harbor. The new boat
is small in size, bnt can remain under
water 15 hours. It is not necessary to
depend on the cuter air for ventilation,
for reservoir tubes of oxygen inside the
vessel itself will supply this. As the
air gets foul it will bo pumped out of
the vessel down into the sea. An elec
tric motor will propel the craft. Tbe
little vessel is cigar shaped. It is ex
pected that it will be able to limit about
under water for concealed torpedoes,
and also to cut the wires which are ex
pected to explode torpedoes under ships.
Three men comprise the crew.

Minnesota has made provision for
giving much pleasure and profit to that
put upon class of community, farmers’
wives. At the state university this sea
son there has been in session a summer
school of dairying and domestic econ
omy. It was an experiment to find out
whether farmers’ wives and daughters
desired to be scientifically instructed in
their special lines of work. The result
was. most encouraging. There were
many students, in ago ranging from 16
upward. The making of various kinds
of delicious cheeses at home was taught.
So was the manufacture of butter ac
cording to the most scientific methods.
Cooking and chemical lectures complet
ed the instruction this invaluable
course.
There are hundreds of millions of
dollars in Europe awaiting investment.
Just so soon as the United States can
convince the owners of this money that
her railroads are getting out of tbe
hands of receivers, that her vast indus
tries arena a sound financial basis, her
business men strictly honest, capable,
and men of their word, then the gold of
Europe will begin to flow to this coun
try so fast that we shall not know what
to do with it.

Good morning sir,, I am informed
his is Dr. G. B. Williams, proprietor o
the Liver and Kidney Pills. My name
is Hanland, Dr. I live in Philadelphia
and am glad to see you purposely to
congratulate you upon the knowledge of
formulating the best Liver and Kidney
I ill anywhere to be found. Words can
not describe the suffering I have had to
undergo for the last ten years until last
November, when I was induced by Mrs.
DeLion, a lady neighbor of ours in
Philadelphia, tolgo to taking your Liver
and Kidney pills and I have taken them
at regular intervals, just by the direc
tions on the vial and it seems to me
they have been improving me since the
first few days. My skin is clearer, my
general health very much better than it
has been for ten or twelve years. I now
weigh what I did 15 years ago, 152
pounds. I have in my case tested their
efficacy fully and should you ever visit
Philadelphia Dr., I would be pleased
very much to meet you at Hotel Stenton,
at which house you will be exceedingly
well pleased. I will, with much pleas
ure, certainly deliver the message to
your agent, Mrs. DeLion, upon my ar
rival at home which will be soon, as I
anticipate leaving Savannah next Mon
day or Tuesday.
