Cows Oivea Freedom
The cow ordinance was again
brought up at the meeting of the
City Council Saturday, tand by
a vote of four to one was repeal
ed. The motion to repeal the or
dinance was introduced by Aider-
man Wright, and the votes for
repeal were cast by Aldermen
Deen, Williams and Walker. Al
derman Murphy cast bis vote
against repeal.
Pur some weeks past it has
been known that the cow ques
tion was to again be discussed
by council at their meeting last
night, and a large number of
country people and citizens of
the city who were against the
ordinance, were at the meeting.
The motion to repeal was made
about 9 o’clock, and, because of
Alderman Murphy’s opposition,
was discussed until almost mid
night. Many of the spectators
present were requested to ad
dress the council on the cow
question. Alderman Deen intro
duced an ordinance making the
cow law effective from Dec. 1 to
to April of each year, but this
ordinance was voted down.
After the vote on Alderman
Wright’s motion was taken and
carried, Mr. Murphy introduced
a resolution inakiug the cow law
effective at night,and increasing
the impounding to $2.00. This
resolution was adopted, and the
cow will have free use of the
streets in the day, but must be
shut up at night.
Daring the discussion of the
cow question last night, Mr.
Murphy asked that the final ac
tion be postponed until Monday
or Tuesday night of next week,
when he promised to have pres
ent at the meeting business men
of the city representing throe-
fourths of the tax payers of the
city who would be against repeal
ing the ordinance. Council
voted against - postponing the
action.
“Live and Lei Live" Hu a Word
Dear Judge:—If there ia any
tiling more noble in man than to
got right when lie is wrong, it is
to stay right, and that is just
wlmt our present mayor and
council did in partially repealing
the cow law—got right. To con
servative men their manner in
dealing with this question has
been rash. We have all along
been continually urging the
farmers to produce everything
possible for our markets, and,
very naturally, those living noar-
eest to us w. re the first to avail
themselves of tho splendid in
ducements our growing city of
fered to engage in this enter
prise, and by reason of this near
ness to town, were the greatest
sufferers from the law just re
pealed. In the near futuro, with
our rapid progress in tho past as
an index to our future progress-
our county will doubtless find it
to her interest to fence in their
stock and turn out their farms,
thus effectually dealing with
the stock law. In the meantime
let us live, and work, and wait,
Israel waited for over 500 years
for a suitable temple in which to
worship, and Solomon sent to
Hiram, saying: “thou knowest
how that David, my father, could
not build an house unto the name
of tho Lord his God for tho wars
which wore about him on every
side, until lie put them under the
soles of iiis feet. And it came
to pass when Hiram heard the
words of Solomon that lie re
joiced greatly, and said ‘blessed
be the Lord this day, which hath
given unto David a wiso son to
rule over his great people.
Now, if Hiram and Solomon
and David and ins God were in
(luenccd by tiieir invironments,
and could wait for a convenient
time in which to erect a temple
for an habitation for his God,
and in which his people could
worship, surely Waycross can
wait until such time as our neigh
bors shall find it convenient to
pasture their stock and thus
keep them from our doors. But
I started ou; to say a word of
encouragement to our Mayor
and Council.

Incorrect Report,
The report of the lynching of
fifteen negroes in Statesboro,
which was sent out by tho Union
Associated Press, and oublished
in many evening papers yester
day, was incorrect. Cato was
tried and found guilty, and other
trials are proceeding today It
is altogether' likely that if an
attempt is made to carry the
murderers back to jail for safe
keeping, that there will be a
lynching. Lynching or not, it
seems quite likely that there will
be a “right-smart of a hanging”
at Statesboro soon.

Teacher. What is tho Geor-

Pupil. A conglomeration of
kickors and would bo law makers.
T. Who controls them?
P. Bankers and railroad mag
nates.
T. Do they work for them?
P. Apparently they do.
T. What is law?
P. It should be a blending of
common senso and justico be
tween man und inan.
T. But wlmt is it?
P. It seems to bo that instru
ment of torturo by which tho
poor and honest man is punished
for tho pleasure of tho rascal and
pocket of the rich.
T. Wlmt is garnishment ?
P. The door behind which tho
rascal jumps to keep from pay
ing his just and lioneBt debts.
T. What is protest!
P. 'Tis the throne used by
the rich to hurt the poor when
he thinks tho poor man can’
meet his obligations.
T. Docs ihe ricli push collec
tions?
P. Not when they think they
can get it at a moment’s notice.
T. Does tho poor ever impose?
P. They impose on tho rich
when they find ono that is hon
est and is willing to livo and let
live, ’
T. Summing tho wholo thing
up, do you think tho Georgia
Legislature a good thing for tho
stato?
P. If they would meet every
four years and pass upon tho
actions of standing committees
and let law making and kicking
go to thunder.
T. You must not love the law.
P. When law becomes com
mon sense, reason and justice, it
is all right.
T. w hen is it wrong?
P. When it creates in justico
or hardship on cither the rich or
poor, contrary to reason and jus
tice and mercy.
T. Amen! Blessed is the law
maker, in whom (hero is no
guile.
