THE BRITISH-60ER
WAR MAY END,
AN EFFORT WILL BE
MADE BY BOTH SIDES.
If Satisfactory Terms Can be
Arranged Peace M
Soon Follow.
By Union Associated Press.
Cape Town, Nov. 23. — Premier
Schreiner and Dr. Hofmyer have renewed
their efforts to get Kruger to yield enough
to permit a treaty of peace between
England and the Transvaal. A deputn
tation of Transvaal officials Are on their
way here from Delagoa Bay, and it is
understood that their mission is to see if
satisfactory terms of peace can be made
with the British.
Pietermaritzburg, Nor. 23. The
Boers have resumed shelling the British
camp near Mooi river. The bombard
ment is heavy. It is reported that seven
thousand Boers are below Estcourt with
Joubert in command.
London, Nov. 23.—Despatches from
Mafeking say the Boers continue shell
ing, but fire has slackened the past few
days. Their riflemen inactive. Much
fever and suffering is caused for want of
pure water. .
London, Nov. 23—The British ship
Duntrune was disabled in a gale and is
supposed to be lost. A searching party
was sent out but returned, not finding
the ship or any of her crew.
FATAL WRECK,
A PLEA FOR HARMONY.
The Herald desires to make an appeal
to those now in charge of our city affairs
for harmony, and we do it in the interest
of the people, the masses, the tux pay
A house divided against itself canuot
stand; a city split into factions nud rings
on the matters which effect its healthy
existence, will surely suffer in the end,
set of men have a right 10
carry their personal preferences, desires
or antagonisms into issues which may
result iu loss and inconvenience to thou
sands.
If necessary, men in charge of the
general in erests of a community, should
make sacrifices and concede points,
which, as individuals, they might attempt
to mantain without criticism. Let us
look at some towus and cities that come
— so to speak—under our own jurisdic-
tion. These family differences and in*
ternal wrangles haye bankrupted and
ruined several of them, aye, indeed,
many a fair community, as well as many
an individual, has been foully dealt
with in the house of its friends.
Waycross may be on the verge of a
trouble which mauy of us will never
live to see ended; we may be fomenting
u strife which will strangle and stifle
the growth of our fair town, our btauli-
ful Magic City among the pines, our
happy home in the Wiregrass. Way-
cross fhould have sewerAge, but above
sewerage or any other goed thing, she
should have harmony among her people,
friendship, go^d will and co-operation
among her citizens. Without criticism
for any one, but with kindliest feelings
for all and looking only to the future in
terest and welfare of ou«* beloved town,
the Herald warns those who would en
gender strife, if such there be, to beware
upon what they enter. The mills of the
Gods grind mighty slow, but they grind
Unbiased
| public opinion always comes to the front
I The Whitman Sisters.
The colored race has always been not
ed for their musical talent. This talent
seems to be possessed by almost everyone
of them. Those who attend the per
formances at the opera house next
Tuesday und Wednesday uights will see
this power developed to the highest de*
gree.
One of the Whitman Sisters beyond
doubt possesses the finest contralto voice
on the American stage today. This is n
broad statement but it is backed by nu
merous press notices and recommenda
tions from all over the country.
The other members of the company
arc not wanting iu this talent but taken
ns a whole, represent ‘.he finest colored
dramatic and musical talent on the stage.
The performance given by these peo
ple is by no means a minstrel show
vaudeville performance or musical con
cert but is a part of each united in a
happy pleasing manner, showing the ne
gro ns he is and as he was.

tions that legitimately come before it,
Let us all beware that we do not lay our
selves liable to future adverse criticisms
or severe judgments.
Anybody can be obstinate and bull-
headed, but it takes a big man, a man
with broad views and of self-sacrificing
character to make concessions, to extend
the hand of friendly and peaceable set
tlement to an affront. We feel that we
have such men on our board of city offi
cials and on our board of water works
commissioners, and in the name ofevery
good citizen of Waycrors, we appeal to
them to get together upon terms which
will stop the present wrangle, and bring
harmony, peace and prosperity to our
community.

no longer considered a factor in the cot

Doesn't Want Any Wrangle.
Editors Herald:
I have heretofore voted for bonds
when this issue wss before the people of
Waycross, believing that sewerAge was a
necessity. On account of the wrangle
between the ronyor and ceuncil
and waterworks commission as to
who shall handle the money in the event
of the issuing of bonds, which has
reached a white heat, I, for one, shall
vote against bonds and I am satisfied a
great many others who have voted for
them will do the same unless these differ
ences are adjusted. It looks very much
to me, a taxpayer, os if there is something
questionable about all these bills and
crois bills when there exists no reason
for the passage ol any of them, and I
don’t thiuk the taxpayers should put
their money into the hands of any of
them, where it will cauie strife nnd dis-
sentlon,
Let all the differences be settled and
then take a vote on. the bond question
and then it will pa**; otherwise it will,
and should be. defeated.

Editors Herald :
How about re-organizing the “Musical
Club” of two seasons ago? In my opin
ion we have never hsd an organization
that gave more pleasure and was more
beneficial than this one.
Under Mr. Charley Murphy’s manage
ment the “Musical Club” was a success.
Let's organize again and re elect Mr*
Murphy. There is one home in Way-
cross that will always be open to meet
ings of the “Musical Club.” |
