EXPERIMENT FARM
WAYCR088 QET8 $10,000.00 FOR
THIS VEAR AND NEXT.
The Georgia Senate, before adjourn*,
rnent yesterday, passed a bill appro
priating $5,000 for the year 1908 and
$5,000 for the year 1909 to the exper
iment station at Waycross. This was
a bill of Senator Geo. W. Deen, of
this city, who has worked hard for its
passage. j !
The appropriation will doubtless
mean , the establishment of a branch

gar cane experimental station. The
trustees of the Experiment Farm fa
vor a branch station In this sec
tion, and the appropriation is to be
handled by them.
IFOR
STEEL BRIDGE
HOTEL PROPRIETORS WILL
PROMOTE HORSE RACING
Savannah, Ga., Aug 13.—-The Hotel
proprietors of Savannah are going to
do all they can to bring horse racing
to Savannah. They have an organi
zation here and yesterday they held a
meeting and decided to bestir them
selves to interest the New Orleans
race promoters who must seek other
pastures. The Savannah City Council
has declined to let the promoters have
Daflin Park which has a mile track
on It but there Is a half mile track at
Thunderbolt which might be used and
this will be brought to the attention
of those in New Orleans. The hotel
men believe that there will be good
business for them In Savannah if the
races can be pulled off here.
COMM 188IONER8 WILL CON8IDER
BIDS TOMORROW.
The Ware County Commissioners
will doubtless open the bids toinor-
for the construction of the steel
bridge acroBB the Satilli near the At
lantic Coast Line trestle.
The advertisement for bids sets to
morrow as the day for the opening
of the proposals, and the commission
ers will likely have a special meeting
for the purnoBe of considering the
bids that hate been turned in. Sev
eral bridge men are In the city today
and are looking alter their companies'
interests.
The county commissioners have not j
decided positively to construct the pro
posed steel bridge, but If the cost
Is not above what they expect to pay
It is likely that the contract will be
glvfen out within a short time.

NEGROES WERE
WHIPPED BY MOB
Lake Charles, La* Aug. It.—Six ne
gro tramps, finding the daughters of
a farmer named Vlacent alone
home, yesterday became Inpudent and
refused to leave the premises. The
ladies telephoned to Vinton and forty
citizens responded to the message of
distress. ’They capture-l the negroes
and administered a severe thrashing.
The young women requested the mob
to be lenient or else the \ negroes
would have been dealt with .severely.
WOMEN VEY MUCH DESIRE
TO GO TO SEA.
New York, Aug. 13.—Apparently the
desire of women to go to sea in an
official capacity is widespread, and
this inclination is conflned to no spec
ial type or ages. Stenographers, sec
retaries college women, undergradu
ates and graduates, have overrun a
local steamship office on hearing the
company was thinking of engaging
women as pursers, assistants and Hil
ling the mails with applications,
leaving no doubt that, If the company
finally decides upon tho innovation
there will be no lack of material for
all Its vessels.
SOCIETY GIRL

Chicago, Aug. 13.—Miss Frances
Sholes, aged 19, an Evanston, ind.,

Sholes, manufacturer of typewriters,
and holder of many valuable tele
graph pateqts.

KOUT FOR GANG OF MEN
lah, G&, Aug. 13.—The Sav-
New York, Aug. 12.—Wall Street
has been magnificently fooled by
Livermore, who Is now out of the mar
ket with at least $1,000,000 to his
credit. Livermore simply worked
both ways, “se.e-sawing” as Wall
street calls it for the past three weeks,
buying or selling as was most profit
able.
The supposed bear raid on the mar
ket yesterday, when it was thought
that the opponents of Livermore were
hammering the market m order to
“break” him by forcing prices down,
was nothing more as it is now known,
than Livermore himself disposing of
the remainder of his holdings.
WILL MEET AGAIN IN 8PECIAL
i SESSION ON 22ND.
Atlanta, Ga. •Aug. 13.—The Georgia
Legislature adjourned at 3 this morn
ing without taking final action on the
convict scandal. An es;tra session
within ten days is assured. Last
night the Senate rejected the House
measure providing license on so-called
lease labor. The Greater Atlanta bill
Wijs passed. This extends the city
1 foils to include Edgewood, the bat
tlefield east of Atlanta, and other
thickly populated communities. The
bill increases the area of the city by
eleven square miles. The taxable
property will be $15,000,000 or moro
and will swell the population of the
city to 140,000.

8END WM. J. BRYAN A MOLES
FOOT.
The following letter together with a
oot was sent to Hon# Win. J.

Mr. Brf’an u«es the charm According
to directions he Is sure to be elected.
Waycross, Ga., Aug, 12 1908.
Hon. W* J- Bryan,
Lincoln, Nebraska. ,
Dear Sir:—
W© warn that a supporter of Judge
Taft ha« sent him a rabbit's foot as
a good luck charm, with which to win
the presidency. In order to overcome
any bad effects from this source, wo
herewith present you with a mole’s
foot. The mole from which thiB foot
was taken was smothered to death
by holding in the hand.
A mot® foot obtained from a mole
killed lit this way will overcome all
the magic effect and influence of all
tho rabbit’s feet in existence.
The fbot should be carried in tho
left vest pocket or worn as a watch-
charm, jlf this Is done, yon need
have no; fear of not winning the race.
Tho niagic charm of the mole’s foot
is bo gr#at that no otehr power, force
of Influe ice
able to compare with It or to lessen
or contr>l its effects.
Yours sincerely.
B. H. WILLIAMS.

Richmond, Va., Aug. 13.—-Former
Governor Montague will make several
speeches for Bryan, during tho fall
campaign. This announcement ef
fectually disposes of the lecent rumor
that he would vote for Toft and re
ceive the appointment as Federal
Judge in the event of the election of
the ' Ohioan. *
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE TO
MEET ON TYBEE ISLAND.
Savannah, Ga., Aug 13.—Mr. R. M.
Hitch, Chairman of the Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee If the First Con
gressional District will today send out
n call for a mooting, of the committee
probably on Wednesday or Thursday
of next week ot Tybe.e Inland, it w
expected at this meeting Bryan will be
given a ringing endorsement and that
the ground work for the campaign to
be waged In Congressman Edwards'
behalf will be laid. Congressman Ed
wards has opposition but It doesn’t
amount to much yet and probably will
not. There seems little doubt of th*
fact that the Bryan endorsement will
be made one of the features of the
etlng. {
V. t. STANTON'S LETTER
, TO MAYOR 8EBRIN8.
Jacekonvllfs Metropolis.
Mayor Sebrlng’s work In bebalf of jellied to build the Waycross Short Line
Jacksonville has often excited atten- to Florida (Jacksonville), and, there-
tion outside of the city, and the foi* fire, though not in the same state
lowing letter from V. L. Stanton, of limits, Jacksonville and Waycross aro
the law as it stands.
The law now in force was passed
by the general assembly of 1905. It
provides for the protection of wild tur
keys, pheasants, partriJges and quail
between tho 15th of March and the
first of November. It provides for
the protection of doves, snipe and
marsh hens, between the 15 of March
and the 1st of September, and Qf sum
mer ducks and woodcock between the
1st day of February and the first day
of September.
The Jove and snipe season therefore
op^ns on the 1st of September, and
It will be lawful to kill turkeys and
quail on and after the first of Novem
ber till the Hth of March. The open
season for woodcock ond summer duck
as above stated closes on the First of
February.
It Is well to bear these dates and
factB in mind as the time for opening,
the hunting season draws near.

ergetic chief executive this citv has:

My Dear General — I have rend
your letter In the Evening Herald,

Inseparably linked together In the
bond of a common interest and recip
rocity, which I am quite sure Jack

for which Waycross remains trut. I
trust yet to see another rail line from
here unto the Metropolis of the State
of Florida, and the groat distributing
point for the country lying to the

an amount of hustle in you that would
do credit to a much younger man; In
fact, you seem to bo alive to the In
terest of Jacksonville, and with such
a mayor and sucji a Board of Trade
as Jacksonville Is blessed with, and
Richardson with his "Made in Jack
sonville” slogan constantly to the fron
I am quite sure Jacksonville is com
ing into her own,and that 100,000 pdp-
a charm has ever been \ ulatlon is already In sight. As I stat
ed In my remarks before your board of
Trade at our recent delightful confer
ence, Waycross unlocked the eastern
door to Jacksonville that gave her di
rect rail communication to the east.
