THE WAYOBOSS fJERALD AUGUST 7,1897.
hi c?
i. T. Bjderto tie HeriM.
Editor* Waycbom Hebald:
8inoe the fatal day on which ray. brother.
Dr. W. L. Ryder, traa murdered in Talbot
county, you, through your paper, hare
«>hown » great amount of animosity against
the unfortunate young man. Your edito
rials and squibs have been incendiary and
murderous—justifying these outlaws in the
commission of a most dislxflcal murder up*
on a defenseless and demented prisoner and
continually counseling the Ryders to drop
the matter as it s ands, as though we were
made of that kind of stnfl. Our brother has
been murdered and we will never stop until
his murder is avenged. What care we
whether his murderers were one or a hun
dred? The more, the more cowardly the as
sassination and the more reason they
sbonld pay the penalty of their crime.
'•Thou da rest not call thyself a foe?"
1 dare! to him and all the band
He brings to aid his murderous hand."
It is but bad taste and poor patriotism for
i oo at time when nil honorable meo are en
gaged in an effort to put^down lawlessness,
to justify and enc mr.ige the commission of
crime and try to block the efforts of those
who would uphold the law. But rest as
sured that notwithstanding yourposition in
this matter, hints of intimidation and ad
vice; that these murderers rim II never go
free, neither will we cease to speak, write
or work until the last one has been exposed
and brought to justice.
In us, * then by these tokens mayest thou
renew
Each proud oppressor's mortal foe.’’
This young man has !>een slanderered,
maligned falsely accused fora year by our
newspaper men and it is time to quit since
you have murdered him. 1 can not
quietly sit and hear any more. Better qnit
your false and evil position and throw your
influence on the side of law and order. For
"to assail a wearied man were shame, and
Stranger is a holy name."
This man whom you have abnsed, and
whose murder you have justified, was poven
by three honorable plivsicians and a host
of witnesses, and was conceded by the pros
ecution to be insane, and to maltreat a
lunatic is a crime that is and aught to be
abhorred by all honorable men.
"Stranger, 1 am to Rhoderic Dbu
A clansman horn, a kinsman true.
Each word against his honor spoke
Demands from me avenging stroke.”
These murderers are known and justice
demands that tiiey Ik* punished, and while
the "Ryders’’ shall • devote their time, t'al-
ants and energy to bringing them to justice,
they need the oo-operation of the press and
all upright and honorable men.
Will you give us yours?
J. T. Ryder.
Mr. Peru am:
As yonr paper has had a good deal to say
about the Ryder lynching, I write you a
card. I would like yon to publish it in your
Weekly if you have the space. If not throw
itin your wastbasket. But if yon will give
us the space I will be. grateful, and will
write you more news in the future.
John T. Ryder.
The plea of Insanity made by the lawyers
of \\\ L. Ryder, the man who, in cold
Ulood murdered Miss Owens at Talbotton>
would seem to be substantiated by the fore
going communication from another brother,
J. T. Ryder. The editor ot the Herald has
known this J. T. Ryder casually forthreeor
four years, and if his letter, which was mail
ed at MiArthur, Ga., had contained a check
for a balance he has owed us for job work
for more than two years, it would have been
very acceptable; -Avit wnre give it space,
as it may interest others in another part of
the State.
The Herald learns that the J. T. Ryder
who wrote this communication has been a
sojourner in Ware oonnty for several years,
but during his stay here he has had no local
habitation 3 ml lias bummed around from
pillar to poet among the people in the east
ern portion of the county. He called at the
Herald office a few days since and subscrib
ed for our Weekly, saying that he was going
to .VcArthur and thence to Macon.
We know no special harm of the fallow
except that be owes us money, and we know
no special good of him. The Herald has
had very little to say about tbe^ynching of

his brother, the murderer, for the reason
thav-we dw not "favor lynching except in
cases of outrage, and why the crauk should
have pitched into us is something of a mys
tery. The fellow doubtless wanted to say
something to somebody, and thought he
would say it to us. In reply to his note we
desire to state that we believe his brother
was justly hanged, and the only trouble is
that he was not hanged about a year and
three mouths before he was. He intimates
that a paragraph in our columns contain
ing a word of advice to the Ryder family is
not appreciated. * If we hare wasted mtr •
sweetness on the desert air it is a pity, but
we still assert that ih attempting to wreak
vengeance upon the executioners of the
murderer, Ryder, the surviving Ryders are
fighting against a sentiment which prevails
in Georgia, and .which sentiment is only
intensified by such statements as we have
published from J. T. Ryder.
We have said hod written nothing about
the Ryder case that we regret, and have no
apologies to make to the dead Ryder or the
live Ryders.

A Remarkable Cure of Chronic
Diarrhoea.
In 1862, when I served my country as
a private in Company A, 167th Pennsyl
vania Volunteera, I contracted chronic
diarrhoea. It ha« given me a great deal
of trouble ever since. I have tried a
dozen different medicines and several
prominent doctors without any perma
nent relief. Not long ago a friend sent
me a sample bottle of Chamberlain’s
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy,
and after that I bought and took a 50c
bottle; and now I can say that I am en
tirely cured. I cannot be thankiul
enough4oyou for this great remedy, and
recommend it to all suffering veterans.
If in doubt write me. Yours gratefully,
Henry Steinberoer, Alientown, Pa.

Dr. J. L, Walker, city physician, within
the next few days will be prepared to vacci
nate persons. Vaccination is a safe guard
against smallpox, and as some parts of Ala
bama are infected with a few isolated cases
of the disease, it shall be advisable for the
people of Georgia who are subject to small
pox to be vaccinated promptly. "An ounce
of preventative is worth a pound of care
So far no cases have l>een reported among
the whites in Alabama.
Should it be thought nece^ory by the an-
lori’ies, in case the disease should become
prevalent in Alabama or elsewhere, a strict
quarantine will be established promptly by
Waycros-, against all infected districts. At
present there seems to he no just cause- for
alarm in South Georgia, and should the dis-
reach any Georgia town, the patients
wonld be isolated promptly to prevent any
contagion.

So far-as it is known to me, the
vespidte are all social, the indi-
\iduals x consisting of males, females
and neuters. They aie also known
as the “paper making” wasps, hav
ing the habit of constructing paper
nests of various sizes and forms in
which their young are reared. Our
common brown wasps (polistes) are
too well known, to require any de
tailed description. To those living
anywhere in tbe Atlantic states
their paper nests are very familiar,
being formed of a circular disk of a
single tier of cells, being suspended
at the solid back by a median pedicle
attached to the point chosen by the
community to build. Usually these
cells face downward, but occasion
ally the plane of the nest is vertical,
or nearly so, causing the long axes
of the cells to lie horizontally oi
mare or less obliquely. This gray
ish, papery stuff used by the paper
making wasps is a composition of
’their own manufacture. In the case
of the common wasp it is made by
the female (Vespa vulgaris), she us

purpose. These she gnaws and
