BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATION.
The call for a meeting last
Thursday night was responded to
by a number of citizens, somo of
the most substantial, and commit
tees for getting up a charter and
drafting by-laws and constitution
were appointed to report at a
meeting to be held on the 25th inst.
At this meeting it is believed a
permanent organization will be
effected, and the plans laid for
much good for Waycross through
this channel. .Sonic seem to look
upon an association of this kind
with a spirit of distrust, believing
it to have no good ends in its for
mation, but they are among the
uninformed, and should they at
tend the next meeting and hear or
read the by-laws, etc., might
change their opinions. There can
be nothing wrong about it if it is
properly organized, with honest
officers, capable of giving availa
ble bond. It should be tlie pride
of every citizen to aid an enter
prise that lias for its purposes the
l>enefit of mankind and the build
ing up of the the town. ^
WANT* TO*BE*ANNKXED.
There is a small portion of
Pierce county divided from tlie
main territory by the river, and
the people living there arc anxious
to be annexed to Ware county.—
When the “river is up and the
channel is deep,” these good peo
ple arc cut off from their county
site, cut off from truding there,
and arc anxious to come hither.—
Something must be done for them,
they expect it, justice demands it,
and we call the attention of Sena
tors Sirmans and Brantley and the
Representatives of Pierce and
Ware to the matter, ns it can only
be reached by legislative enact
ment. It is reasonable tha*. these
people should desire a change in
the premises, and they, or Borne of
them have come to us, as the legal
organ of the county, as the “peo
ples’ journal,” and asked that we
“raise a howl” in their behalf,
feeling sure that the gentlemen al
luded to would do all in their pow
er to remedy the evil.

the factory. Freight on buggies ville, Fla., passed through New
will be something over $4 00; Orleans last week bound for Cali-
freiglit on stoves will be about $1. fornia and Mexico® That’s the
MORE TRADE FOR WAYCROSS.
The completion of some fine
bridges tliat span the Satilla river
is having a healthful effect upon
the merchants of Waycross. W<
are told by one of them that lie is
now getting trade from Pierce and
Coffee counties, which, before the
bridges were built, found its way
to Blackshear and other points.
Tliis tends somewhat toward a
slight boom for our town. One
man came in from the lower edge
of Coffee county a day or two ago
with a load of country produce
which he sold, bought himself a
stove, some clothing, shoes, etc.,
and as a crowning act to the day’s
work paid a year’s subscription to
the Headlight. That man has a
level head.
NEW* FOR TUE PEOPLE.
We are in receipt of a circular
letter from the Naval Stores Manu
facturers, Association which is full
of interest to those interested in
turpentine. We will give our read
ers the circular in full next week.
Below we give a short synopsis of
what it contains:
The Railroad Commission per
mitted the railroads to charge
more freight ou small lots of spirits
and rosin than on car load lots
but the S. F, W. Road never en
forced tlie order till tlie Uuilroad
Commission through the influence
of tlie Protective Association got a
reduction of20 per cent, on all
freights. The S. F. & w. Railroad
then got a little “niffed” and issued
an order to charge full rates on
less than car load lots. But the
order was rescinded and not one
cent of freight was paid while tliis
6rder was in force. The S. F. & W.
was the only road that issued such
orders and it did not cost the ship
pers one cent extra. The factors
ii Savannah used this to prejudico
the producers against tue Asso
ciation but when the truth is known
it only adds new laurels to already
victorious crown of the Associa
tion. _ . , ,.
Before the reduction of freights
was secured by tho Association
some of tlie railroads only charged
freight on rosin at the rale of 400
pounds to the barrel. Tlie factors
in Savannah would pay the freight
on the rosin at the rate of 400
pounds to barrel and charge the
shipper for actual weight. By thuj
means they would make several
cents per barrel. The shipper would
make several cento per barrel. The
shipper would pay freight on a
barrel that weighed perhaps 475
pounds and the factor would only
pass it for 400 lbs., thereby saving
freight on 75 lbs., to the barrel.
Examine your accounts of sales
and if you find that you have been
charged freight on more than 400
pounds to tho barrel you are en
titled to recover the difference in
freights, between the actual weights
and the weight estimated by tlie
•i JfMl IHm tr» the
