The South Atlantic Car end Manufacturing Company yester
day closed a contract with tho Central of Georgia Railroad for

A Card From Allen S. Morion.
Editors Herald:
I will consider it a great favor
if you will permit mo a few lines
in your valuable paper, in which
I may decline my position in sup.
port of iny candidacy for Alder-
matic honor.
I wish to say to begin with
that l was raised in Waycross,
aud have never before asked any
honors at the hands of our peo-
plo, and'I have at all limes stood
for a fair and Just administra
tion of its affairs, and for any
thing that would tend to improve
and build it up; have always, to
the extent of my ability, assisted
any movement looking to the
advancement of the same.
I believe that with an econom
ical administration that the
street tax could be . reduced to
two dollars por year, aud if
elected I will exert my best ef
forts inthat direction. I believe
tint we ought to have more
paved alroets, imd that our
city assisted by tho property
owner# could well atTouTto have
more and better one# than
now have. Don't construe tins
now that I want tile property
owners to bear the expense
alone, while on the other hand I
think the city ought to bear tho
greatest pm of the expense,and
1 will strive to have them put in
a belter condition than they now
are.
1 want to state further that I
am the candidate of no clique or
party, but stand on my merits
alone, and it the people see tit to
elect me l sliull try, to the best
of my ability, to serve • them
faithfully and honestly, keeping
in view a'l tho dime that I am
serving all tho people, and not a
party or clique.

Washington, Dec. 0. — Both
Houses of Congress assembled
promptly at noon to hear the
President’s message, which'was
handed in by the private Secre
tary to the President shortly
after. The follow.ng are the
most striking recommendations
in the message;
The use of federal t roups in
suppre-sing troubleortbe resist
ence of Federal law, should the
state’s authorities csll for help.
The organization of labor to
secure wage workers rights, with
due regard to others.
The passage of an employees
liability law in the District of
Columtia, and the appointment
by Congrese of a Commission to
study employers liabilities in
general. •
The (awarding of medals for
conspicous bravery in life saving
in private employments und-
United States jurisdiction.
Thq passage of a law requir
mg the institution of the block
system on all railroads, and it
law limiting employees hours.
More government oinployes
lo watch the safety appliances
on railroads and steamboats.
The letter carriers cease their
efforts as a union to procuie
higher salaries.
Child labor investigation and
legislation.
The creation of a forestry ser
vice in the Department of Agri
culture.
The substitution of salaries
for fees iu the consular system.
The enactment of an inters
national quarantine law,
A reform In the currency and
the making of every silver dol
lar “redeemable in gold, at the
opinion of the holder.”
A revision of the naturalizas
tion laws.
The enactment of a law against
bribery and corruption in federal
elec'ions.
Tho federal regulation corpor
ations is advocated as follows:
* “When we come to deal with
great corporations, the need,for
the government lo act directly is
fir greater than in the case of la
bor, because great corporations
can become rich only by engag
ing tnturslatecommerce, and in
terstate commerce i* peculiarly
the field of general governments.
It is an absurdity to expect lo
eliminate the abuses of gr. at
corporations by state action. Ii
is djfficult to he patient with an
argument that such matters
should be left to the states, be
cause mote than one state pur
sues a policy creating on easy
terms, corporations -which are
never operated within that state
at si 1 , but in other states whose
laws they ignore. The uationni
government aloue eau deal ade-
fre adorn.
He also advocates the exteu
sion of arbitration treaties.
He wants the oavy built up un
til it is large enough to gusrans
tee safety.
He says delay in criminal cases
should be avoided.
A Waycross Negro io Pennsylvania.
The Herald reproduces the
following trom the Forest-Blade,

We cannot remember a negro
brick layer named Allen, in
Waycross, perhaps some of our
readers can:
A private letter from a suburb
of Philadelphia reads as follows:
“Ten years ago a negro was

to preveut negroes from emigrat
iug to Penhsylrauia. We be
lieve that iu the long run a more

this union will be best for all con
corned, and we desire to forward

Unanimous Vote ror W, H. Scruggs.

A vote was taken at the church
by the Baptist membership last
night; soventystwo out of seven
ty-live members present voted
that the church wanted no
change, and Rev. W. H. Scruggs
has again been asked to continue
his chatge here. The removal
of Rev. W. H. Scruggs from Way-

is needed by his church and he is
needed by the entife community.
For cigbieeu Olong years this

has walked for and with these
people. He knows tnem all, es
pecially the poor, and in terms
of love and reverence his name
is spoken in every household.
The First Baptist church of Way

lifetime cull, aud the Herald
feels that he will accept it.
