nated an acre of land for the site
for the new city hospital, which
will doubtless be huilt in Way
cross in the near future. The
land donated is beautifully situa
ted on tne high land between the
old Reed nursery and the city,
and is an ideal location for such
an institution. Judge Williams'
liberality is fuliy appreciated by
the friends of the hospital move
ment. In this connection it is
proper to state that the hospital
is receiving great encourage
ment from the officials of the
county and town. Liberal dona
tions and appropriations will be
made for this the most laudable
enterprise ever inaugurated in
our city when they are needed
The experiences of each day em
phasises the necessity for a hos
pital in Waycroas, and it is sure
lobe built.

the sale of the road would, if
nothing unforeseen turned up, be
at public outcry at noon before

Teachers Adopt Resolutions,
We, the committee on reiolu-
tions for the Ware county
school institute beg to submit
these resolutions: First, That
this has been one of the most
pleasant and profitable institutes
that we have ever attended.
Second, That we extend our
thanks to the teachers of the
couDty for their good attendance
and co-operation in the institute
work.
Third,That we endeavor in the
future to awaken the patrons,
trustees and pupils of the county
to a higher state of educational
sensibility and activity; and that
now is the time for us to begin
of a new and take a greater in
terest in education than ever be
fore, so that our successors in
the school work of the county
may be inspired by the effect of
our work to do a greater work
themselves.
Fourth, That we solicit, urge
and encourage that each and
every teacher discuss and explain
the merits and importance of the
McMichael Amendment to the
constitution to the community in
which he is teaching.
Fifth, That we believe wo are
hotter fitted for the work which
wo have undertaken than we
wore before this session.
Sixth, That we extend our
thanks to Miss Celia Brinson for
her refreshing and inspiring re
citations which she gave us Tues
day, p. in., nnd also to Mr. John
W. Greer and Prof. Pound for
their able and instructive educa
tional addresses which were
given us Tuesday, a. m. and
Wednesday, p. m. respectively.
Seventh, That wo are indebted
to Prof. J. Walter Hendricks,
Principal of the Southern Normal
Institute, Douglas, Ga., who
acted as expert, for the able and
instructive manner in which lie
presided over the institute. We
think Prof. Berry did well in ob
taining such an able and experi
enced instructor as Prof. Hend
ricks.
Eighth. That we extend our
thanks to the board of education
of Waycross for the use of their
building.
Ninth, That a copy of those

Editor Waycross HeraldBe
ing a subscriber to your paper
and a mao that has lived near
your town all my life, I ought to
know some things relative to its
laws, aDd desire to say something
about its financial welfare
know that almost all laws work
detrimental to some and beuefi
cial to others financially, aDd
that after a law is passed that
i'ts officers ought to be men of
good judgment, unselfish as to
enforcing the law, and this ought
to be the case Id regard to im
pounding stock in your town, es
pecially where poor people’s eat
ing is at stake, and first they
should take into consideration all
concerned financially. The con
test was very close with them
that voted in Waycross, showing
that about half was against the
impounding of cattle. Well, one
half of the people in reality was
concerned that did not vote at
all, these people lived on the out
skirts of the incorporation, for
they were made to believe that
their stock would not be im
pounded, as this was to apply to
only a certain part of the town—
the business part,—so they did
not vote at all,as they didn’t-know
thoy were concerned, and none of
the people outside of the cor
poration, of course, were allowed
to vote, although their interests
were greatly concerned, for two
miles around the town. And
again, there is a class that did
vote that was nut concerned in
the matter at ail, as they were
too poor to own a cow or to buy
milk. These were not concerned
and did not want to see a cow’s
head or tail turned toward thorn
And if you could succeed in mak-
iug a man believe that he had
neither lot nor part in hell nor
heaven, of course he would be on
the side of hell, for that Is the
most natural. Man will always
be on tho bad side if he thiDks
he is not concerned.
So take the people who live on
the outskirts of Waycross that
now know they are concerned,
who did not think they were
when the olection was held, and
those who did vote that never
owued a cow and was too poor to
buy milk, and those that are
deeply concerned that live out
side of the town and there would
be five to one that would say,
“do not impound the cattle.’
And with ail this knowledge be<
fore them, to still continue to
impound, certainly shows how
selfish they are to go against tthe
wishes of the people. Who
would bo willing to trust them
any further than at present?

when the glamor of city life and
the whistling of locomotives,
the ringing of bells and the
shouting of trainmen and port
ers at the union depot brought
him to his senses.
An instant after he had put
both fists into his eyes he was
out on the street. He was dazed
because of the life of the city and
the characteristic bustle and
strife of Jacksonville, even on

CONDENSED STORIES.
Jeequln Miller's Story of tho Colon, fa
Inherited Tltlo.
Joaquin Miller was one of the
first investors in Texas oil wells.
Passing the question of financial
profit, these wells furnished him
with at least one good story. The
poet visited the Lone Star State to
inspect his property and there mat
a man who answered to the title of
“colonel." One day when this man
and the poet were together the-talk
turned to the war of secession. Mil
ler thought his companion had
taken part in that struggle, but the
colonel said he had been a noncom
batant. Then Miller made a bold
guess that the title waa derived
from a militia commission. But not
so, nor was it a result of an appoint
ment on the governor's staff. Nei
ther did it come from service dur
ing the Spanish-American trouble.
“Ah,” said Miller at last, think
ing he had the mystery solved, “you
commanded the Texas rangers at
one time. They were brave men,
and it was an honor to lead them.”
"No,” 6aid the colonel, “I never
had anything to do with the
rangers.”
“Well, tell me,” persisted Miller,
“is the title merely assumed ? Have
you no right to it r
“Certainly I have a right to it—
the best kind of right,” replied the
colonel in an offended tone. "If
you must know how I got it I’ll tell
you. I inherited it”
“Inherited it!" ejaculated Miller.
"From whom, your father f”
“No, sir. From Colonel James
Smith, who died two years ago. I

Mr. M. L. Moore has pnrcliass

ers the old Mallon building in

price paid for the buildtug was
$125.00. Mr. Moore has agreed
to move it from the lot as soon as
the store leases expire, which
will be within the next :tO days.
The old building will be torn

hart in the Far East since the
first gun of the war was tired in
Port Arthur harbor! Whatadif-
ferent sort of fellow from their
former ideas of his prowess and
soldierly qualities have they
found the Japanese warior to be!
The Russians did not attempt to
disguise their supreme contempt
for the Japanese when it became
a settled fact that the war must
come, and tho awakening proyed
a severe shock to the confidence
of the Czar's soldiers. This con
fidence has since been completely
buried beneath the weight of a
hundred victories, and never
again will the Japs be regarded
as impotent or lacking in cour
age of the highest order. They
have outgeneraled, outmarched,
outsailed and outfought the an

The Taciturn Man.
Mrs. Van Yorst, the author of
"The Woman Who Toils,” had many
amusing and odd adventures daring
her life as a worker. One adventure
that has not heretofore been printed
concerned a taciturn man.
She met this man on a New Eng
land road mending a worm fence.
“Can you tell me,” she said to
him, “how far it is from here to the
next town P"
He pointed forward. “Milestone
little further on will tell you,” he
growled.
Rudeness such as this vexed Mrs.
Van Yorst “But the milestone will
be no good to me, for I can’t read,”
she laid.
Thereupon the taciturn man
chuckled a little. “Ho, ho,” he
■aid. “It is just the kind of mile
stone for people that can’t read, for
all the writin’s been washed off of
it”
