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. Married on Passenger Train. A. W. DOWUNO AND MISS ALICE BENTON ARB WED THIS MORNINO. Several Killed. Union Associated Fran. col- Berlin, Aug. 16— Four umni of German troops attacked the Hereros near Hamakari Ger man Southweat Africa last Thursday night.

Six officers and fifty-two men wonnded and thousands of cattle captured. Hurrah for tho boys that aro running the town. They dare to do right in tho face of a frown. Can’t fleece everybody, no use to try, Act nobly, act wisely, honor will come bye-and-byo Live and let live got ail that he’d ask, Let those that want everything throw off the mask, Some will get angry, say this thing and that, But to our Mayor and Council I take off my hat. Live and Let Live, 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.
