' OBEY THE LAW. '
Druggists In this stale must com-1
ply strictly with the law regarding
the 1 compounding of medicines and .
handling poisons, according to an ! .,
edict Issued from the state depart- j
meat of agriculture. No one Is to i
be permitted to All prescriptions or |
sell dangerous physic of any charge-,
ter except those who have licenses '
from the state board of pharmacy. Dr.
T. A. Cheatham who was recently ap
pointed state drug Inspector to enforce
the pure food and drugs act as It re
lates to medicines, reports that be
found many cases In which the law
Is not followed. Druggists often em
ploy youths and permit them to fill
prescriptions under the proprietor’s
license, which Is In conflict with the
law.

Savannah, Dec. 1.—The Grand Jury
of the Superior Court In making Its
presentments yesterday afternoon
called attention very ,forcibly to the
fact that the tag burden In Chatham
county IS oft borne equitable. It Is
desired that there be a commission
appointed to readjust tax values
throughout the county and that If need
be a permanent hoard be named for
this purpose. - It Is held that the law
which -permits One man to fix the
valiief'of*(axatlon In a county as big
as Chatham Ip antiquated and should
ha remedied. This Is the ' second
grand Jury that has called attention to
this need. The county commission
ers’ appointed three equalisers at one
time but they had to sue the county
to get pay for the work they hal done.

Resolutions of the Board of Stew
ards of the First Methodist Church,
Waycross, In Honor of Rev. J. B. Me
Gehee, Nov. 27, 1908.
During the past half century and
more South Georgia baa given to the
ministry many worthy and noble men.
It baa produced many who have bravely
borne the enalgu of the prose, fougbt
valiantly the battles of religion and of
God, and proclslmed most eloquently
the glad tidings of great Joy to a sin
sick world. These men form a goodly
company. - Among them there have
been and are now those noted for their
eloquence, piety, wisdom and spiritual
power-men who would adorn any con
fer! ice and add luster to any church,
but Ills perhaps hot dealing in extrav
agance phrase to say that not among
them all has there appeared a -more
striking personality, a' more unique fi
gure, a more uaeful man, a more in
fluential minister or a -preacher more
eloquent and powerful through ao long
a series of years than the Rev. Dr. J.
B. McGehee. Like Moses he haa uvar
been a leader, like Jonathan he haa
ever lqved his fellow man; like Enoch
he has walked with God; like Jere
miah he haa burled denunciations
against the shame and abominations
of hi- time; like Paol he haa preach
er 1 md planted; like Apollos he has
»•1, ed, and now standing at the sum
mit of a most glorious career he may
well pride himself upon tho fact that
through all the years of his long min-
Istry God has ever given him the: In-,
crease, ( y - r -
Tall and of commanding appear-;
aoce, suggestive In appearance of the
patriarchs of old, gifted with a style,
broad In Its'sweep and powerful In
Its expression, endowed with .a mind
well stored with the treasure of lit-'
erature and philosophy but stronger
and richer etlll In fta grasp; of the
philosophy of- life and of religion, he
has been for .years one of the fore
most pulpit edatore of his day, whilst
the .influence which his strong and
beautiful life has had In the religious
and spiritual uplift of his people la
beyond all the powers - of computa
tion.
For,-forty-five long years
walked 1 -'amongst tho people of this
conference, a tower of strength to
the religions Interests-of his section
and a power for good wherever hla In-
uuence has been known and felt Du
ring all these years he has gone to
Ms work with brave and manly heart.
Ttttttilh storm and stress he haa ev
er held the even tenor of Ms way,
ever keeping his high Ideals pure and
bright above him, and these reflected
have cast the Inspiration of their rad
iant glow Into the hearts of all the
unnumbered thousands to whom ho
has so powerfully preached. *-
Surely when his daya are ended
(and may their end he far removed)
for ell these years of loRy endeavor,
of noble purpose ud of Christian liv
ing, ho shall enter Into a moot glor
ious and abundant reward.
“The elements are so mixed In him
That nil the world may stand and say,
Hera Is a man, taka Mm all In an
Wa,shall not look upon hla like
Again.”
The Stewarda of the First Methodist
Church of Waycross priding themselv
es upon th* fact that for two yasrs
they have bad *uCh a man sa their
Presiding Elder, learning with regret
that ha contemplates asking the ap
proaching conference to be relieved
from hie arduous work, ud appreciat
ing the lose that wUI he entailed It
auCh • purpose !• carried Into effect,
have' seen fiet to draft the following
resolutions:
Whereas, th* Information comes to

Elder of tbla district
desires to be relieved of his work, ud
Yfhereu, onr appreciation of the
lois of ths services of such a brave

The jury was secured by noon after
tho state had exausted Its strikes.
At 2 o'clock Miss Linton went upon
the etand and remained there until
after dark, telling her story of the ab
duction. She went Into the minutest
details ud said that she recognised
W. H. Mitchell aa her abductor. She
also Identified a dress which, wu
found In. the well u the one that her
abductor wore when disguised sa a
negro.
She said that she had seen Mrs.
Mitchell wear the same dress. Her
statement dealt very largely with the
plans of the abductor, of the tele
gram which she received from Moul
trie alleged to be from her brother-
in-law and the note which, was later
brought by the disguised person tell
ing of the runaway scrape ud of her
brother-in-law's Injury and .summon

have been In the court with Mm dur
ing the .day. and many ladles attended
the. trial .today, the court room being-
packed,- ' v
Miss Linton will go on the etud
again In the morning.
.M|tchell seems to be confident of
acquittal, while the •tate’a attorneys
deciare that they will put up evidence-
to convict him beyind a doubt. The
case la attracting attention throughout
this section.
A citizen expressed the feeling of
many people today when he aald: “If
you know Mltchdlyou do not believe
he la guilty. If you hear the evidence
you believe be Is, and there you are.”
The state, It Is said, will introduce
forty or fifty witnesses, while the de
fense has many others to hear- from.
Mariana, Pa., Dec. 2.—At noon to
day searching parties had found 12-
more bodies of victims of the mine
exploilon. The bodies were In head
ings, 2,000 feet down. This brings
the total loss to 148 so far taken from
the mine. ,
Port An Prince, Haytl, Dec. 2.—Tho
people of this city have revolted
against the government and are now
In complete possession of tho city.
The entrance of the rebel army In-
now only n question of a few hours

Through ono of the moat strenuont
yean In the history of Waycross,
speaking from a financial point of
view, we havs. been served as pastor
by a moat faithful and able mu of
pod, Rev. J. P. Wardlaw. Whilst to
him, Judging from expresaloni that
from time to time have come from
him, the outlook spiritually hu not
been as bright as he or we might
have wished; whilst It may have seem
ed to him that he wae (owing on a
barren field and that the seeds perleh-
ed where they fell; yet such Is our con
fidence In God, such it our knowledge
ud belief, looking at his work from
another angle of vision, tbat hts ef
forts ere now bearing aqj will con
tinue to bear abundant fruit for the
Maetaa
Muter.
Such tits been tba sweetness of hie
fomparament, such the manliness of
bis bearing, such the strength of*htn
‘.arncier and the crUtllkeness of hf*
Plrlt that unconsciously he hu touch-
od we believe most confidently every
heart with which he hoe come in coo-
tact for good. An expression which
?tme from one whom- he never
suspected of touching we are «nre frill
voice the sentiment of every member
of this church. "He la such a noble
man tbat were he to stand end never
open bU Ups he would preach a most
powerfull and effective sermon."
"Feeling, then, that he shbuld have
an opportunity of serving onr people
when conditions more normal prevail
end at m time when the spiritual re
sult* of his work may to him be more
apparent, therefore be It
Ruolved, that the Stewards of tho
First Methodist church of Waycross,
express to the approaching confer
ence the desire that he be returned to
ns. If In the wisdom of the Bishop
such a return Is wise.

press to him our.heartfelt apprecia
