Let us clean up. and stay clean, re laxing our vigilence not u minute. Cleanliness is the greatest foe to dis ease, and if we would be well in body, clean in mind, we must maintain a certain standard of excellence along this line. Let us NOW begin an ac tive campaign qgainst the house fly, that carrier of Typhoid, and the ] Mosquito, the carrier of Malaria. Only j tr.rough the extermination of the Fly j or its exclusion from our food, can we hope to control that dreadful foe, "Typhoid." An old tin can carelessly thrown on the premises with a few drops of stagnant water, can breed enough Mosquitoes to disturb a whole neigh borhood. “What’s everybody’s busi ness is nobody’s business." Cleaning up week is the exception that proves the rule. This is everybody’s busi ness. Though before the time arriv es, we expect to formulate plans for systematically accomplishing work. Any suggestion from the var ious 'Labor Unions, Board of Trade, The Georgians, The Medical Society, The Civic Improvement Club, and all crganizations dominated by our color ed friends will be considered and ap preciated. Our housekeepers, we are sure, will put their immediate prem ises in “apple pie order", (no doubt they already are), but we want their Interest to extend further into the The sent sale for the Man On The Box, the attraction booked for Wed- j nesday night at Parker Theater, opens at LaGrande Pharmacy tomorrow, and Indications point to one of the best crowds the theater has had in some line.

It is stated that when the accdent oc curred he cut off the power, but the jlrk started it again and despite the intense beat ho hung on to the engine until the last minute possible. A fellow engineer commerft^ng on it stated that it was difficult to compre- hend how he did it. These men are generally found loyal and devoted to theli duty, and display at times great heroism that deserves noting. President Cooper's Narrow Escape. Mr. L. J. Cooper, president of the first National Bank .of Waycross, a passenger on the Ill-fated *Dtjc<e Flyer had a very narrow escape, and from accounts of eye witnesses displayed Bieat presence of mind and courage on the sudden emergency.

The Recent Railroad Accident. The recent ra^oad r)bcidety In Coffee county, forty-eight miles from Waycross has cast a feeling of gloom end sorrow over this entire commun ity and section. Nothing so terrible has occurred on this great system for nearly a quarter of a century, and we all feet that It is a personal cal amity. The A. C. L., with ita various branches and connections Is the bone and sinew of thousands and thous ands of miles of our. southland. It hss built up the wsste places and brought millions of money to a sec tion which only a few years ago was almost a desert No corporation In the has a more liberal, just and efficient corps of officials, from the smallest to the greatest, than the A. C. L., Com pany, and while we mourn with those land has more liberal, juat, efficient officials who are doing all that can be done without stint of expense or work to relieve those who have so terribly suffered. The public may rest assured that nothing is being left undone that can be done In the direction, wo have Mr. Cooper tells mentioned. Judge J. Myers, Jasper Wylding, Way- cross Herald; Dr. W .H.
