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? 8. V.

He fell asleep on the train and awoke 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 Sunday. He hailod a hack. “Here, drive me out to the fair grounds, and do it quick.

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 married his widow.” — New York Times. Will Not I’ssi.

Albany Herald: What Wit Make Court House Park. Mr. M. L. Moore has pnrcliass ed from the County Commission ers the old Mallon building in front of the court house. The 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 down, and the county commis sioners will beautify the lot on which it now stands.

Tne Commissioners will ask the city awakening the Russians have 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 tagonist who despised them, and seem to be about to put the fin ishing touches on one of the most remarkable campaigns in the history of the world by re ducing Port Arthur and either capturing Knropatkin’s army or sending it flying in broken frag ments.

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” LAWYERS.
