PHILLIPS AT, ‘CENTRAL 'BAPTIST CHURCH LAST NIGHT. THE HIGHWAY TO Dr. PHITTips seems to be keeping liH greatest sermons for the closing days' of his wonderful mission in Waycross. His sermon last night was a most powerful effort convicting of sin, and kad a number to accept Christ as their Savior. As usual a very large «rowd was present, and tiiose who went to hear good singing were not disappointed. Both Mr. and Mrs. Ghai. {Sutler singing several times. arles Butler’s singing Is of fierful character. His voice is one of those rare mellow baritone, that is absolutely even from bottom to top, and which carries the much desired “heart” quality which makes the conquest of Mb hearers complete. While the sweet powerful voice of Mrs. Bntler blends in rich harmony. A rare treat tof all who hear it. Tonight Dr. Phillips will preach on ‘'Heaven and Hell.” And at close of the services, the ordinance of Bap- t sm will be administered to the la dles who are awaiting baptism. The wonderful series of meetings are rapidly drawing to a close. As on Sunday night Dr. Phillips will hold liis farewell services, antrbr. Scruggs and his church earnestly invite ev eryone who possibly can to take op portunity to attend and hear these beautiful slpgers and tho mighty ser if offiaur TfamHur lire 1 fertile Cross.** Much interest is being aroused over the proposed “Highway” from Savannah to Waycross and on to f New Orleans. From every side may be heard warm approval and endorse ment of the scheme. A good Highway connection with Savannah, taking in the important lUtle towns on the way, would be of inestimable advantage to both cities av.d would bring Savannah within few hours touch of Waycross and vice versa. Not only would that, but.it would be a great con necting link with the Columbia-Au- gusta-Savannah and Waycrqss High way o Jacksonville and south. The movement has been cordially endors ed at Savannah and steps will now WELCOME WILSON Waycross will very cordially wel come Dr. Wilson, and “The Nut Gvower” as a permanent institution in W’aycross, and congratulates Mr. MACON R.R. SHOPS Thete Is nothing small ahd envloun ab^ut Waycross, and we are always glad tp rejoice with and congratulate sister cities, especially Macon; STRIKE ON AT COURT HOUSE We have had strikes among the lVlroad shop men. telegraph depart ment, telephone^ girls, et al.

Mayor Cox held short term of court ta»s morning and as a result of his labors $10 was added to the city trtt*ury. a charming family and the Herald ex tends to them a cordial welcome. It is probable the Doctor will ar rive and settle In Waycross early enough for his June Issue of “The Nut Grower,” to bear the legend, “Published In Waycross, Ga.” Mr. Snedeker and others interested especially In nut culture, believe that the issue of the journal here, togeth er with the Impetus It wlll glve to the study of the nut . and other lines ot agriculture, will raeao that, even tually Waycross will bo the center of the greatest nut : growlng region in America. “summery” is an easy matter To look and feel to a man who trades here. But when Macon and her good peo ple have seen all, that great Central Railroad shop and Its wonders and have'had time to cool down a little, we want them, ali that 1,600 to 3,000 uavl more, to join together and make a trip to Waycross and we’ll just sh^w them some real railroad shops. The shops of the great Atlantic Coast Line system at Waycross. The largest, most modern and up-to-date shops in the South. We just hate to Jolly those good Macon folks, hut have one building down here that will almost hold the entire Macon shops. We congratulate Macon -on her enterprise and her public spirit in rejoicing and heralding out to the world those new shops. Its a wise 'ix>, Tbe^troubI® about Waycross !• that we are to modest to properly declaim about the things we have got. Its this inestimable power of Atlanta and Macon to make a noise, and,at the right time, that has given them euch a bulge over Savannah and Waycross. But Waycross is proud of her shop* allhough we opened them without flourish or trumpets. These shrps cover a tremendous area ana are equipped with every modern Ira- movement In <tbe mechanical line, and the railroad company are contin ually adding to the equipment. To fully equip our shops we require to employ from 1,800 to 2,400 men. But we must stop boasting and can only reiterale our Invitation to those fine enthusiastic citizens of Macon to come down and visit with us and let us show you what we’ve got in the Great Wlregrusa City. If Editor Pendleton will only come with them our joy will be complete ami then we can almost pledge a solid vote in Waycross for the capi tal at Macon. Sheriff Pittman states that found the expenses of his office were toe ••-rat, and therefore with no feel- lag against these two gentlemen, no- tiffed them that he would have to re duce their salaries and a sweeping reduction at that. The deputies pro tested. Sheriff remained Arm and In sisted the reduction should go into immediate effect. The deputies then quletlv removed their, badges, turned over the keys and papers, left the offi ce and the strike was on. Sheriff Pittman states he only needs one de pu*> anyhow and has a good man on tho way to take the position. Both the deputies have proved to be good officers. C. A. Bennett has recently re ceived commendations for hts effici ent work on the books and John P. Cason has beeu an experienced andi respected officer of the county forj years. . !
