Hot Fight With a Shark..
A supposed A dead man' suddenly
turned into a hungry eight,
foot sharic and a quiet swim in the
ocean changed into a life and death
struggle, was the experience of Harry
M. Speerman, whose left arm was
nearly bitten off by the fish, says the
New York Times. Speerman arrived
at Atlantic City, N. J., recently and
went bathing, swimming to the end of
the steplechase pier, a quarter of a
mile from the shore. As he was about
to return he saw a dark object. n short
distanoe away coming toward him, He
thought it was the body of a man.
WlAn it got in reach he dived after it l
and seized the tail of a shark- Speer-
■a*
man lost no time in letting goof it.but
the shark was after him like a flish.
It rushed at him am) just missed one
of his feet The guards hastened to
his rescue, but before they reached
Speerman the shark rushed him again
and succeeded in sinking its long teeth
in the man’s left arm. The life guards
harpooned the shark with a boat hook.
Speerman claimed the shark and
said he would have it stuffed and
shipped home.
Commercial Succe... Ordered TO TlM5 StUliiP.

Editors of the Herald
The question of commercial
success is a question of vital im.
portance to the modern commu
nity. In thinking along these
lines the Herald has often asked
itself the question “why has
Waycross not paid more atten
tion to this Question of commer
cial extension ?” The wiregrass
section we believe is the coming
section of the state; its gray
lands free from steep hills and
rocks, with a good clay subsoil,
it has been demonstrated are the
surest in their production of all
crops. For over twenty years
there has not been a failure in its
crops while other portions of the
state have been parched with
drought or the hills washed bare
by the Goods. With such a pos
sibility for agricnltnral success,
that town or city which sits su
premely by and awaits the drop
pings from the timber industry
or the railroad pay roll will
awake from its dream to find, its
more enterprising neighbor out
stripping it in the race for com
mercial success. The welfare of
all cities lie close to the heart of
mother earth whose bosom fur
nishes the milk that strengthens
MEMBERS OF THE CABINET TO SFEAK
FOR REPUBUCAN PARTY THIS FALL
Washington, July S3.—The prell
dent has requested the members of the
Cabinet to etump for the Republican
ticket this fall. The “request”
politely worded, but It 1. practically
ao order, and the Cabinet members
are preparing to obey, Shaw will
open the campaign id Maine sod 'so
West with Roosecelt in September.
Mpody will .lump New England,
and Root will stump New York. Knox
never made a political speech, but he
will try. Roosevelt will talk in twen
ty slates. tie Is anxious for R.publl.
cans to win everywhere this fall.
Some of the Cabinet members do not
approve of the plan, but that is not
bothering Roosevelt.

Kaunas Dealing With Tramps.
Kansas has at last solved the prob
lem of what to do with the tramp.
The announcement comet at an oppor
tune time, just ,aa efforts are being
made to Induce the president to ap
point a national committee to study
the genesis of tha hobo and bis habits
of life. The committee, if appointed,
will find valuable and interesting
material in the wheat fields of Pratt
county, Kansas. Therefore the maga
zine writers who have been giving ne
thoughtful and learned essays on
“studies in tramp life" have taken the
ground that the hobo la Inherently
nomadic and that his indisposition to
labor Is so deep-seated and fundamen
tal that nothing will overcome it.
The Kansas farmers have overcome
the physical inertia of the hobo. They
did it with a gun The deficiency in
the farm hands la estimated at about
10,000 men. The harvest fields, with
their golden seas of over-ripe grain,
are calling for men. A freight train
westward bound was wrecked near
tha town of Pratt. On the train were
fifty or sixty tramps oound for Colo
rado tor their health. The farmers
heard of it and offered them S3 per
day sod plenty ft good food s.id shcl-
■ ter. They declined the offer. There
upon the farmers tried shotgun persua
sion, with the result that nearly ail of
the tramps are now tolling in the har
vest fields of Pratt county, and they
will be kept at it nntil the wheat is
garnered. The picture.qus of the epi
sode it furnished by the women of the
farms, who are acting as guards, each
armed with a shotgun. If the Pratt
couaty -system spreads It may offer a
solution to the whole tramp problem.
the present remember that the
timber is vanishing and the de
nuded lands only remain from
which the life of its commerce
must be drawn; that railroads
throng into towns which furnish
products for transportation and
whose lively commercial enter
prise invites their coming aud
that the income of pay rolls is
not intended for a sale reliance,
but shoud be supplementary to t0 “
more stable resources. The
era of agricultural activity
and intensive tillage has
dawned, though relegated for so
long,in the Wiregrass section
to the background, it has come
to be the mainspring from which
shall be let loose the wheels of
our commerce. Cities and towns
who would get in the flood tide
must be prepared with their oil
mills, their factories and their
open and ready market for cot
ton and all other products that a
smiling land, under the blessings
of God shall give back to the
hand of industry,for opportunity
is the master of human destiny,
fame, love and fortune. On her
footsteps wait cities and fields
she passes; deBertB and seas re
mote she penetrates, and pas
sing by each hovel, mart and
palace, and soon or late, she
knocks nnbiddeu, once at every
gate. If feasting rise; if sleep-
wake, before she turns away, for
it is the hour of fate, and those
who follow her reach every
state mortals desire, and con*
quor every foe, lave death. But
those who doubt or hesitate,
condemned to failure, penury and
woe, seek her in vain and use
lessly implore. She answers
not, and she returns no more.

coveries in the past fifty years—and
especially like the invention of the tel
ephone and type-writing mschlne-was
not the subject of any one man's
exclusive study. It was time for tho
wireless system to be found. Tesla
had produced a wireless electric light,
and it was known that telegraph mes
sages could be seut from or received
on moving cars without any 'immedi
ate connection. These facts turned
the thoughts of inventors to the ex
tent to which communication could be
had without the intervention of wires.
Had noCMareonla, Staby, Braun or
Tesla met with success some other
man would have achieved the pur

such a discovery cannot long be de
