Donit poke fun at the Georgia legi slature. The hoys are In trouble enoug'a already. Judge Alton Porker decline* to make the race as the democratic candidate for governor of New York. The Holder bUl will tv. the basis upon which the convict 'ease question 1 he settled. Wonder how the At lanta Georgian likes that.

Many represent* lives are talking about throwing up their Jobs and coming borne. -j. Console yourself with the reflection that the legislature can’t remain In extraordinary session longer than Judge Spencer R Atkinson Is an other victim ot the Georgians’ spleen and unreasonable vindictiveness, the Judge says the Georgian is a liar.

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 an I Impair their health. Let the criminals take their chances with the rest of us. The state election is about a month off. It will convene Oct. 7th next, words to that effect, Rockefeller Is said to have royal blood In 'nls anatomy. It Is the money In Jno. D’s., pocket that has given him name and fame. Tom Watson now says they arc try ing to Africanize the Democratic party. Well, Tom you remember you tried to Africanize the populist party several years ago. At least that is what lead ing ex-populists tell us.—Dalton Cltl- CASUAL REFLECTIONS. The Herald is right about reals be ing too higt\ in Waycross. They are 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 r Ihe negro vote in this section and one time cornered a right smart sprinkling of it.

Coxcy, who led th£ army of unemployed men from his home In Ohio to Washington 14 years •go. has announced that he intends to work for the populist party an 1 for the election of Thomas E. Watson during the presidential campaign. 4, 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 lots of things lately. Pevaps we can stand for this. 4. 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. The Atlanta Georgian has introduced • “system" In Geocta journalism that la about as bad as tho please system. One deals with convicts and the other with people who are not convicted ex* pt In its own imagination.—Valdosta men. This peculiarity-of tbs Georgian 1 been noticed by every fair mind* ca ipt* In the state.

Stick to It boys and pile up the expense count. The old state Is not half broke yet. Robt. S. Hudspeth, the eastern cam paign manager of the Democratic Na tional Committee, who has returned from New Haven, Conn., says: "The Bryan sentiment Is growing stronger all the time. In Connecticut all ’old line Democrats nre com ng back In line with tho Intention of act tv ely supporting the gresldentlal ticket this fall. One of the most encouraging Incidents of my Conectlcut trip w the offer of ex-Governor Waller to speak during tho campaign. Rhode Island Democrats nl*o brought pleas ing reports, from tho state In regard to democratic prospects there." And now they art* i icdlctmg n freight car shortage, next year. Shouldn't wonder If some disaster of that kind overtook us when Joe Drown 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. RAMBLER. TIME HAS DEMONSTRATE: TW claim, male lor KITTEIII'S KOtUICS.

In times of depression in business, nothing depresses more than to voice sentiment of a despondent mind; but like magic in its reviving influ ence is that word which the citizen peaks of hope and good cheer; what inve we to be blue about?

The Herald therefore calls on every citi zen to frown down any attempt from within or without to besmirch our fair name, or to minimize, our present or future prospects. Talk Waycross, talk it hopefully, lustily! talk It In the early dawn of each renewing day and when the dying light of the Indian summer evenings paint a picture upon the eastern horizon read in the glow ing colors the message of hope and good cheer, for the Herald predicts that here, whereon we build this city, ■hall arise the Greater Waycross whose commercial and moral greatness shall tower like the Pillars of Hercules, high toward the Heavens, and sestet! and broad at the base—for "God Is In His Heavens; and the world's al right" Proof Is inexhaustible that Lydia E.
