OftflBi “7 "Waycross "Weekly Herald OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE CITY OF WAYCROSS AND OF WARE AND CHARLTON COUNTIES. VOLUME XXIII WAYCROSS, GA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1902. NUMBER 20 Last Night’s Shooting. A REGULAR FUSILADE OF SHOTS FIRED INTO TWO HOUSES. From Thursday’, Daily. This soDsuming lust to go out and shoot at living creatures that periodically takes possession of many men’s minds each re curring autumn does not nrgue well for our twentieth century civilization, and after all is said in their favor some men are not far removed from the original savage. The thoughtless cruelty of deed and mind, as exhibited at ao unusually early hour this morning by certain citizens of conservative Waycross, is iodic ative of the fact that we still harbor indestructible relics of . barbarism. Why tn it that some people—gentle, courteous and kind though they may be in all matters pertaining to their own class—will, when urged by a damnable spirit of’ unnatural hilarity, think nothing of inflict ing torture equally as excrutiat- ing as death on those whose lot it ii to suffer without many possi bilities or much power of retalia tion or remonstrance. When glorious George Dewey perforated the Spanish ships in Manila bay, P. I., 70,000,000 of civilized people rejoiced, but the actions of the “certain citizens'’ referred to above, who first . loaded up on Heinz’s 67th variety f (tobasco sauce—hot, very hot), and then attempted to blow up an establishment in Waycross "Manila Bay” deserve nothirg but unanimous condemnation. Such a clever display of military maneuverlngs might have been more profitably used for a better purpose. First, the advance guard went forward on a recon noitering expedition, and after ascertaining that the enemy was unprotected and in the arms of morpheus, gave the five-shot sig nal previously arranged upon for a cyclonic advance. Then— gallop! gallop I gallop! Crash! bang! smash 1 The ferocious oc cupants of a buggy drove up at a loop-the-loop rate of speed and bombarded their chosen target for fully twenty minutes. Where were the police? Now, you just mind your own b—. Well, after succeeding in do stroying much property and in timidating the terrified inmates to a vicious extent, the perpetra tors of this unpardonable outrage drove over to the district gener ally designated by the appella tion of “Klondyke”and dispatch ed a few parting leaden mes sages to one of the houses as a demonstration of the fact that 'they—big, husky fellows—were not one bit afraid of the solitary female occupant. Revolvers and 88-caliber winchester rifles were used and one side of the "Manila Bay’’ house contained 86 bullet holeB. Following is a list of the dams aged property at that place: ^ One wardrobe, $26, silk con tents of same, $25; large mirror, ’ (35; piano, (600; sideboard, (28; window panes, (2: dishes, (5; sitting room wall, (60; zinc gut ter, (10; hanging lamp, $5; pic tures, (12; miscellaneous articles amounting to (26. The “Klondyko" houses es caped uninjured, though the oc cupants done much lightning calculation concerning the rapid transit facilities to more peace ful shores. It is sincerely hoped that the generous reward offered in an other colupm for the arrest and conviction of the “certain citi zens * will greatly assist in effec tively and completely eradicat ing this egregious " shooting” I nuisance. —E J.
