It haa been stated that the first thing that New York did after it was freed from English rule was to or* Eanlze a Board of Trade, because com* znon horae sense taught the people that without a governing commercial hrdy or head of some klnJ, and know ing as they did, that what is every body’s business Is equal to nobody's, once caused them to organize Just k tch a body of men to look after the interests of their city and Us commer cial upbuilding. Any business man of most ordinary colt sense ought to know, as did those Industrious Dutch and other peo ples did of Now York, that If the Board of Trade of Waycross Is allow* «J to flop over and die that the res* ♦•••.rroctlon will be worse than their burial of It, and when they get through kicking themselves, which they’ll feel like doing, should their non-interest • i. their city help to produce the death n the commercial body above alluded f , they'll feel too sore to muster up «trcngth to sign their own death war rant. This, citizens of Waycross, may •ound like silly gush, but ninny a Joke has been clothed in the garb of truth, Mid please don’t forget before you are called on to Join this commercial band that the truth here is meant, and its no joking matter. For the benefit of all who feel inter est enough in our city to read it, this is a statement mnJe by the secretary of the Hoard of Trade of Waycross, as to v>nat has been accomplished by It: The ro-orgnn I ration of the military rempany, (where is there a better one for Its age.) Prevention of territorial Ups with prevention of higher tax gate; Improvement of telephone ser vice; additional mail service to and from Snvamwn; rebuilding t.ie Car Works; Assisted In defeating tho "Par cel Posts” bill, secured use of syrup factory for canning factory purposes; assisted In locating new cypress mill; Assisted In locating new turpentine plant and secured additional express delivery service; and all these Just when the panic of 1907 and 1908 wero giving warning Just over the hill of a financial collapse that has shook the pillars of finance until tho echos of the cracking and creaking pillars still resound in the ears of the pessimists <-f this, the greatest country resting of the bosom of mother earth. Now won’t you cltlsens of Waycross, listen to those who will call on you In the very near by and by, and lend your aid In a good cause?. Don't argue and detain them this not cool doather, but put down your name, remembering that their work Is not a selfish one, but ono for the gen* yral good of our city nnd then smile lud wait for future developments.

The New York Sun not long ago published a letter that Is evidently written with some man's heart-blood The letter was anonymous, but it bore every mark of sincerity. The writer goes on to tell that he came to New York a very poor boy, and hav ing now made a very large fortune he has retired from business. "But" says the confessing millionaire, 'when I thjnk It over day by day I can only be ashamed of It all. I suppose that is no worse than the others; know that some were worse than I but I forgot that there was such a thing as a square deal. If I could get the better of an associate or a cus tomer or atf employe, I did It. I have given to charity, but It doesn’t satis fy me. I know what I have done I’t manly. The modern success is rank failure. I would give all that I possess tonight If I could say: "I have given everyone a square deal. 1 have done no man wrong. Think It ; It will mean a lot to you some day." MAJOR TROCKMARTON’S RE TORT. MaJ.

The Dickens affair Is known to all, and the umbrella episode to most of the old Kentuckians. The man was staring In a very offensive way at the major, who annoyed at his presence, stepped up to him and remarked "My friend I am just an ordinary man, although I look so grand.” ..To which the reply came: "You d< look so d grand, either."

THESE CAN BE HO DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHAT EVER Peruna iicomposedofthe most efficacious and universally used herbal remedies for catarrh. Every ingred ient of Fernna haa a reputation of it* owninthecureofsome phaseof catarrh. Peruna brings to the home the COM- BINED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL BCH00L8 OF MEDICINE in the treat ment of catarrhal diseases; brings to the home the scientific skill and knowl edge of the modern pharmacist; and last but not least,bringi to the home the vast and varied experience of Dr. Hart man, in the use of catarrh remedies, and in the treatmentof catarrhal disease*. The tact is, chronic catarrh is a dis ease which is very prevalent Many thousand people know they have chronic catarrh. They have visited doctors over and over again, and been told that their case is one of chronic catarrh. It may be of the nose, throat, lungs, stomach cr some other internal organ. There is no doubt as to tho na ture of the disease. The only trouble is the remedy. This doctor hat tried to cure them. That doctor has tried to prescribe for them. BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO- BEING ANY RELIEF. Dr. Hartman’s idea is that a catarrh: remedy can he made on a large scale, as he is making it; that it can be made honestly, of the purest drugs and of the strictest uniformity. His idea if that this remedy can be supplied di rectly to tho people, and no more be charged for it than is necessary for tho handling of it No otherhousehold remedy eo uni versally advertised carries upon ths label the principal active constituents, showing that Peruna invites ths fall inspection of tho critics MINORITY REPORT8 UN FAVORABLE TO THE GOVERNOR Atlanta, Ga., July 28.-Messrs. Hall of Bibb, 8mith of Calhoun and* Warnell of Tattnall today filed In the House of Representatives a minority report, dissenting from the action of the Gen eral Judiciary Committee, In recom mending that matter of the suspension of Railroad Commissioner Joseph M. Brown be dropped. This means there will be a fight on the question in the House, as the mi nority will have opportunity to debate after the previous question is called. The minority report states among other things that: 'We are unable to concur in the re port submitted by a majority of the committee for the reason that we do not thnk tnat the reason assigned oy the Governor for his action in suspend- the Hon. Joseph M. Brown, the rail road commissioner, are sufficient in law to have authorized him in taking the action which he did. We are com pelled to find and report that In tak ing the action which be did he acted without authority of law.” The minority then submits for the consideration of the House a resolu tion, the adoption of whicH would mean positive disapproval of the Gov*- ernor’s action in suspending Mr. Brown. It has been learned that the presi dent will maintain absolute neutrali ty in the presidential campaign in N. Y. During the day hundreds of tele phone calls were received at the weather office. Curiously enough the> larger per cent, of the calls were from women, all anxious to know when the storm “will hit Savannah.” They were informed that the storm had not yet expressed its intention to “ hit" Sav annah at nil.—Savannah News.
