OtllM** WEEKLY EDITION OF THE TOlaycross Evening Herald. ' OFFICIAL ORGAN OF WAYCROSS AND WARE COUNTY. "volume XX yi WAYCROSS, GA.. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 17,1904. NUMBER 18 Greenleaf Lodge No. 249 INDEPENDENT ORDER OF ODD PEL LOWS INSTITUTED AT BLACKSHEAR Lena Incident Discussed FEARED TO BE THE BEQINMNO OF. GRAVE TROUBLE. Union Associated Pre Washington, Sept. 15 — Opin ions are openly expressed in diplomatic circles hers that the Lena incident is but the begin ing of an intentionally grave situation created by the Russian government to involve other nas tions, and escape the humiliation of defeat by, Japan. At the time the Lena was dispatched to the Pacific coast, the Russian government anticipated th j fall of Port Arthur,-and the possible capture of Kuropatkih’s army. This would mean practically uL timate defeat of .Russia, and the blow would be so humiliating to the nation that she could not re cover from it. By involving other nations, Russia, could in the end, with draw gracefully without being compelled to admit she had been conquered on sea and land by one of the smallest nations on the globe. It is pointed out that the un warranted seizure of neutral ships is a part of their plan to 'involve other powers. A Card From Dr. Walker. Editora Herald: Mr. H. Murphy, chairman waterworks committee is quoted by your reporter as stating that the cause of much of the sicks ness in the city is due to the dirty condition of some of the back yards and -many of the alleys. He also states that the system of sewerage Is too perfect to admit of leaks, etc. I would like to ask Mr. Murphy to state whether or not there was a leak In the sewer on Mary street, which emptied its matter into the canal, and how long this leak was per mitted to continue after its dis covery before repair was made. I would ask, too, if there was a break in the sewer on Lott street, and bow long it emptied into the canal before it was res paired. Now, Mr. Murphy, if these breaks existed in the sewer, will you please stale when they were discovered and when repaire-J, and would such a condition pro duce typhoid fever? Then, if it would cause typhoid fever might it not taka its share of the responsibility along with back yards and alleys ? Very respectfully, J. L. Walker. Sept. 14 th, 11)04. Vttcrsn* at Root. Troops Ordered Out. TO PROTECT A NEORO PRISONER AT CAMILLA, QA. % _ Valdosta, Ga„ Sep’ember 14— Malor R L Wiley, of Savannah, who retched this ci y this morn ing, on his return fiorn M-mas- sae, 'received a telegram here from Governor Terrell, instruct ing him to rep irt at Camilla to. morrow morning and tike com mand of the protection of the negro prisoner, Whately Wilford now on trial for murder Major Wiley also talked over the long distance telephone with Colonel Wooten, of the FouYtli regiment, iufantry, at Albany, and it is understood that Colonel Wooten stressed the fact that no more Statesboro business was wanted' in Georgia.

Apropos of the work of the Farmers' Institute, we quote the following from R. W. Scott, in Southern Farm Magazine. What we need is educated, trained farmers. If we could take young men who have been trained to work on the farm and give them such education as is given at this and similar institu tions, you would soon see a revo-. lutiou in farming methods. I believe the state could afford to give a young man who would pledge himself to go back home and demonstrate what an agri cultural educat.on means, an education absolutely free. "I am most heartily in favor of Farmers’ Institutes and in sympatny with the great work the agricultural department of onr state and nation are doing and trying to do for the farmers, Rome, Sept. 14,—The Georgia but we need special education to get the best result* from tliotr work.

Tillman on Southern Mobs. Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 14.—In a letter to Supreme Court Reporter Bryant of Lincoln, Senator Till man of South Carolina defends the recent burning of uegroes at the South. He says: The act of the mob at States boro is to be deplured, bat more deplorablo is the fact that a whole family of white people have been butchered, stumped out, by the two fiends who were lynched aud their accomplices. The more despicable is the condition in the Southern states which make such a thing possible and which promisee to make them of more frequent occurrence in the fu ture. 'Mobs ure bud, but they are evidence of the spirit of liberty. We of the South have throwu off the yoke of the black majority, we did It because life had ceased to be worth living on the terms and. ’conditions which existed from 1868 to 1870. “From necessity we used force and fraud to overcome the negro majority. This negroes have the mein.iry ol eight years of license aud, inspired by the actions aud utterances of President Roose velt, they have given credence only too plentiful of a hope and belief that their time will, come again. Race antigonism and haired grow apace. “The whites are resolved to govern at whatever cost, because experience lias shown that any other course means ruin- Negro equality is something that will not lie tolerated, and if it comes to war the negroes will he exter minuted.
