WHAT THE EDITORS
HA8 TO SAY ABOUT IT.
When a city burns down and builds
up again, we say she has arisen from
her ashes. Likewise we are pleased to
be able to state that Augusta is about
out of the mud.
Mrs. Ingersoll is said to be trying
to get in communication with her
dead husband in the spirit world- Per
haps she nas been looking for him in
the wrong pen.
Sympathy for the red handed mui*
derer Is becoming too common in old
Georgia. We have always had an idea
that the victim of tne murderer should
get the sympathy and flowers. People
too often forget the victim and lavish
their sympathy on the murderer-
Darien Gazette.
The Gazette is eminently correct
too much chicken pie and feather beds
for murderers, rapists, Incendiaries
and thieves, may injure their digestion

criminals take their chances with the

The state election is about a month
off. It will convene Oct. 7th next,

to Africanize the populist party several

CASUAL REFLECTIONS.
The Herald is right about reals be

higher here than they are in Savannah
or Atlanta.
Tne quicker every body steps dowi.
off of the hl?h priced idea of thing*
the better it will be for all concern-
The Populists certainly made a bid

election of Thomas E. Watson during
the presidential campaign.

It now looks as if the extra session
of the general assembly of Georgia
would cost the tax payers of the state
In the neighborhood of forty thousand
dollars. We have boou standing fot

The Atlanta Journal seems determ
ined that Joseph M. Drown should
stump tho stato against one Carter.
Mr. Drown has already been through
one eampalgn and has carried the state
by a Inrge majority of the democratic
party. There Is not the slightest ne
cessity for Mr. Brown to "stump the
state" and the Atlanta Journal knows
It. It occurs to us that the Journal
should be convinced and satisfied.

Robt. S. Hudspeth, the eastern cam
paign manager of the Democratic Na
tional Committee, who has returned
from New Haven, Conn., says:

Is governor.
THE BRITISH MAN OF
WAR INOOMNITABLE.
H. M. S. Indomnltable the idol of
the hour. The record which she has
established for warships on her pas
sage from Quebec to Cow** will prob-
ably stand for a long time. Certainly
lid not need the embellishments
with which some of the papers tried
to adorn her.
Taking the figures Milch suited
ttu ra. they wished to make the record
a 25.1 knot passage. Tho king, how
ever aas ordered that the passage
shall be reckoned from land to land,
from South Point. Belle Isle, to Land’a
End. and with this the average works
out at 21.8 knots.
At one time for four consecutive
hours she steamed 26.4 knots. Her
average from Belle Isle to Fastnet. off
Cork, was 55.13 knots. The average
for the whole voyage from Quebec to
Cowes waj 21.14 knots.
During the whole time the was in
wtre’esa communication with one aide
or the other, tending and receiving
messages at a distance ot 1*600 miles
and establishing a record for ship*
ed.
The prices of rents and the value
of real estate a year or so ago is onl>
to be remembered as you would a
pleasant dream. They were based on
ficticious and mad speculations and
we must now get down on a dead lev
el and get back to business on real
lines based on reason and common
sense and everything will turn out
well for us.
Waycross is going to be one of thf
most substantial cities in Georgia Ii
spite of the many bad slams she has
had during the panic. It Is only neces
sary for our business men and proper
ty owners to face at^out and see the
situation clearly.
It will not help the situation for you
to grow weak kneed and fall out of
the race. It Is the wisest plan to brace
up and adjust yourself, to the
roundings.
When the Railroad Shops start up
which will surely be at an early date,
this town will prosper as never before
provided—we keep our senses and act
with wisdom.
The country is willing and ready to
return to business on conservative
lines, and will do so In dead earnest,
quicker than many of us imagine.
Wake up and get ready for business.
Better things are In sight, and will
come to us If we do not drive them
say.
Do not grumble and complain. It
will do you more harm than good. In
fact, have you ever found a grumbler
that over succeeded at anything. They
re failures.
Stand by your town at all hazzards.
' you cannot do this quickly
careful and hopeful at all times,
It will help you and aid others.
