Says Uprisings Habe
Strengthened Czar
St. Petersburg, Jan. 11.—In an in
terview with prominent Russian citiz
ens this morning M. Witte declared
that the outcome of the recent upris
ings had been to strengthen the Dem
ocratic powers of the Czar. Said he:
“The failure of the revolutionists
places all power in the Czar’s hands,
he is now able to do anything he de
sires. He can either curtail the
rights already granted or can increase
them; the people do not have any
voice in the matter.” Witte admitted
jthat mutinies had occurred among
the soldiers in Manchuria and said
that about thirty per cent of the
troops had rebelled, the rest remain
loyal to the Czar, however, and are
able to overwhelm the mutineers.

vancement that has been made in
but little more than one decade. %
For the past several months I have
been amongst you, and atlhough bus
ily engaged, I have found sufficient
time to observe and note some things
that' tend to retard progress, (of which
at present I will say nothing) and
something, which I believe would
tend towards accelerating progress.
No one would bo willing to deny
tho fact that Waycross owes its pros
perity to the railroads. Left to it
self it would soon become du morte,
Many are hero who are well-to-do,
and have become so, not so much
through efTort of their own, but by
their ability in seizing and holding
on to the arms of their pilot, the rail
road, and having hung on have been
pulled to the haven of prosperity.
Would it npt now be becoming ln
them, having arrived at that haven,
to look around and cast about for
some method to apply their means to
the still further expansion of their
haven?
Tho railroads have done and are
still doing their part. It Is up to
the people of Waycross to do their
part, In the doing of which they will
find their greatest glory.
To do this as It should be done it
were necessary to consider, first, our
community and Its wains and needs;
the country people and their wants
and the wants of the people In the
county's adjacent to nnd tributary to
Waycross.
Our own community has some
wants, which, were the£ complied
with, would tend towards creating a
moro sociable nnd friendly feeling
In tho hearts of our neighbors and vis
iting strangers.
3uppose, for Instance, that the city
were to erect at Its own expense, a
pavilion; or more properly speaking,
a waiting room, provided with lavo-
tory, closets, etc., in the small park
on the business side of the depot, puj^
a few park seats around it, havo It
under police surveillance, keep it
clean and attractive, don’t you think
that country people and visiting
strangers would appreciate it much
better than the stuffy little waiting i
room pt the depot?
Doubtless the railroad companies i
would willingly aid In its construe- j
tlon; they would be benefltted, the j
merchants would be benefltted, and j
the visitors would come and go with J
a much kindlier feeling ln their j
hearts toward us, returning again and .
again to mingle with us, and sound 1
abroad their praises for the accom-1
modatlons given. As it is they are
actually made miserable by the want
of such accommodations.
Next, use all proper means to have
every public road leading Into the
city graded and Kept In as good or
even better than the average city
street, thereby inducing the country
people to exert themselves in produc-»
that are largely dependent on Way-
cross for their development.
These are some things that It Is
time for Waycross to quit dreaming
about, time for Waycross to wake up,
and let the world know that here, in
a semi-tropical climate, in as healthy
a country as there Is on the globe—
there Is as fine land'as can be found
anywhere—land with as fine a loam
soil, and as elegant clay subsoil, as
there Is In any state in the union,
waiting but the word coupled to the
strong arm of tho man, to produce
food and raiment, for thousands—no
need to go further, right hero Is the
lnnd of promise.
Capitalists, merchants, leaders, nr-
tisnns of Waycross, It Is up to you
to bring these things about. Put
your shoulder to the wheel. Push
nnd push hard, nnd with a “yo-heavo-
yo” the wagon will be out of tho rut,
nnd Joyously careening onward to
greater, moro progressive, liberal
