They are all working and struggling to pay their debts and support their families. There are no union haters hero ncr do we believe that those who belong to the unions hate their fellow citizens who do not belong to the unions. Waycross was getting along all right before The meddlers and mischief makers came among ua, and we will continue to live and work together and prosper If ibis class of people will let ua alone. The Interests of all classes In Waycrcas are Identical and can not be separated. Tile prosperity of one class makes business and prosperity for ail. It may he that there aro S00 Idle men la Waycross, though we do not believe It. If, however, such Is the case, not half of them are union men, and we are quite sure that no distinction fa being made or favoriteiam shown on account of unionism or non-unlcnlam. It Is a most distressing time for us all, not only in Waycross, hut throughout tho land, and as we have stated, everybody seems bent on .loin? their best. Where, then, the necessity for this continual effort to create dissatisfaction, make breeches and cause trouble, when there Is no ground for It, end when on the other hand there Is every rea son why all good citizens should strive for peace, 'harmony and co-oreration, which will benefit all? There may be Buffering In Waycrcsa, but there Is also a move on foot In Waycross every day to find the needy ones and relieve their wants. Talk about there being people In Waycross who hate their fellow men. Such a thought could only have Its birth in a nar row, prejudiced and vindictive mind. Wo are and will continue to bo n community of brothers, of neighbors, of co-workers, each seeking in hla own allotted sphere to bear hla part of the burden and striving tor the good of all. We wont no agitators, no flr 0 brands among ua, but honest, conservative citizens, who shall all bo engaged In a more laudablo undertaking than that of stirring up strife, animosity and bad feeling among us. 8AVANNAH GIRL WAS KILLED BY INTIMATE FRIEND.
