Newspaper Page TextTHE WAYCROSS WEEKLY HERALD A NEGRO WRITER ON ROOSEVELT A rcnoently published book that la attracting much comment in the North la that by Kelly Miller, a no- gro, thinker along original llnee. Hie fattest rolnme, a ecore of eiaaya un der tb/s title of "Race Adjustment," preaenta aomo flews of*public men of the present and the past far dif ferent from the ordinary expressions of educated negroea. Toll author la somewhat Inclined to be an Inoonoclaat At least he does not tee! impelled to bow submissively at the throne of every pet of other leaders of his race. He ventures to express his own thoughts In a very Striking way. His characterization of Douglass and Booker Washington (a an Instance of this. In the course of a striking comparison of the traits of the two men he declares that "Doug lass spoke what he thought the worlJ should hear; Washington speaks only what ho feels It Is disposed to listen to. Douglass's conduct was actuated by principle; Washington's by pru dence.*’ Concerning President noose- -vdt he has such passages as this, t unimarlsing the views of many thou sands of thinking white men as well as of the negro thinkers who aro not leaJ in mental subserviency as wi ll as political bondage: With him puro reasoning Is a but- den and disquisitional niceties a wear iness of flesh. He has dlagonlsod the case, pros* cribed the romedy and cured, or kill ed, the patient before the ordinary physician baa finished feeling the pulse. He dramatizes the Ten Command- monte and vitalizes time-worn Max ima as if they were fresh pronounce ments to arouse the energies of a leth argic world. Ha Is a man of Instantaneous Im pulses and Is unhampered by the te dium of logical cohoroncn. The ne gro Is by no means the only alternate tioncflclary and victim of his Impul sive caprice. Roosevelt never surrenders, but of- tru seems to cvacuata his stronghold as soon as ho has demonstrated tho enemy's Inability to capture It. The plea to which Miller lends him- «(Jr on behalf^of the negro, Is gen erally, that his self-respect and manly vpportnntty bo encouraged. RESOLUTIONS BY THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF WAYCROSS Whereas, On acount of recent busi ness changes made by our Brother A. B. Springer rendering It necessary for him to do so, he with his estimable family have taken their leave of our city and their membership from our church. And Whereas. Bro., Springer as a Deacon and Chairman of the Flnanoe Committee has rendered ns most val uable service, and Sister 8pringer as Organist and leader of our Music for the past thirteen years has been faith ful and proficient In the discharge of her duties, and by her untiring efforts has brought our music up to a stand ard that few churches In cities even larger than ours have the privilege of enjoying. Therefore as a slight token of our appreciation of their services and the esteem In which they are held by us, Resolved First, That as neighbors, citizens and friends, and especially as useful members of the church we shall miss them from our midst. Resolved 8econd. That as our broth er and sister with their family go to their new home, wo commend them to all Christian people and to the kind consideration of the church to which they may attach themselves as mem bers. Resolved Thirdly, That a copy of this preamble and resolutions be fur nished each of the city papers with a request to publish, and that a copy bo given to Brothel\ Springer and Family. Adopted by the church In confer ence, December 7th, 1908. W. J. Carswell, Moderator, W. H. Bullard. Clerk. Committee. H. P. Brewer, T. A. Parker, Jno. W.

He denies his guilt One wife In Key West, Fla., It Is claimed, has already been located and will appear here against him. His real wife, It Is elalmed, Is the woman In Key West, who has lived there for many years. It is claimed that he became ac quainted with a widow supposed to live at Waycroas, by the name of Mad dox or Mattox, and after a brief court ship she was married to Heitzman in Savannah, where they lived for quite a while, going from there to Norfolk, Va. This many times married Heitz man, It Is claimed, worked in a cigar factory at Savannah, Key West, Nor folk, Dayton and Lorain, Ohio. The woman he was last married to was a widow, Mrs. Mary Smith, and she Is prominently connected In this county, being a niece of Sheriff-elect C. N. Smith, and related to many oth ers of equal prominence In the county They were married In September of this year. Heitzman came to this place In the early summer, working In the cigar factory here.

WHEN A PRESIDENT LIE8. It Is probable that hereafter not even the fact that a man la president of the United States will save him from being given the lie direct should there develop such provocations as haa frequently existed since Theodore Roosevelt assumed the highest public office on oarfa. He haa broken down the last barrier that would have pro tected our presidents, just as It first protected him, and there will In the future be no "lese masjeste.’’ When a president lies, he will prob ably be told so in plain United States, provided the offended party Is pos sessed of the requisite amount of spunk.—Albany Herald. Tho South Is pretty well posted about everything else. She should now go to work and learn the money makers and money savers trade. Mr. Taft will stop over In Atlanta on his visit to Augusta. Better lock his heart up or t’ncm fellows In At lanta will steal It.—Darien Gazette. Our devil suggests that he had bet ter keep his bipper on his pocket oook. * The verdict In the Mitchell case tried at Thomasvllle last week, meets wit'a general approval, but there still an unsolved mystery amout the case the public had hoped would be cleared up at the trial. It la hardly probable that the whole truth will ever comjo to light—even If Mitchell haa to serve out tho sentence.—Quit- man Advertiser. If the Mltchell-Llnton episode wasn’t a Joke It was a devilish piece of busl- noes, and It came very near being that anyway. 1 A writer In the Boston Herald re calls a remarkable prophecy made by Wendall Phillips In July 1266. In ad dressing a collection of school child ren in Music hall, he made use of the following language: "Now, boys, do not Imitate ns. Be better than we are or there will be a great many cracks. We have Invented a telegraph, but what of that? I expect, it I live forty yeara, to see a telegraph that will send messages wlthou t wire both ways at tho same time.” THE LANDSLIDE. Tho following lines appear In Mr. Bryan’s Commoner. Possibly they ex press the feelings of some other peo ple as well.. 1 thought we had 'em beaten To a frazzle, so I did; But I found 1 was mistaken When the landslide * slid.
