BUSINESS.
Will WRESTLE “LABOR DAY”
INTENfim
OF MAYOR’S COURT
The growth "of Wayorosa Is exem
plified lu many ways. One striking
illustration ol our Increase is shown
In the growing value of business
transacted In Mayor's Court. Wbeth-
jr the Increase of cases means a de
crease In morality or Increase In vig
ilance and capacity of police force Is
lard to determine. For the sake of
comparison. Herald man has taken
the'Mayor’s docket for month of Au
gust 1908, 1909, 1910 and 1911 and thd
results are quite Interesting. During
August 1911, the docket shows 76 cas
es (lied on book, drunks and disorder
ly find fighting, 43 cases; drinking In
waiting room, G; shooting In city lim
its, 4; hitching ordinance, 4; street
tax, 6; miscellaneous charges, 14.
Total fines Imposed, $174.00. Including
forfeited bonds, $9fe.OO.
During the montii of August, 1910,
there were 68 cnles bolero Mayor.
Dismissed, 11; drujik and disorderly,
31 cases. Fines Imposed to amount
of, $243.00. This Includes a flue of
$100.00 for telling whiskey.
During month of August, 1909, 19.
cases before Mkyor. 3 dismissed;
drunk and disorderly, 17 cases. Total
fines Imposed $64.00. ,
August,. 1908, 16 cases before. May-
r. 10 Cases drunk and disorderly.
Total fines Imposed, $156.00, Including
$100.00 for selling whiskey.
Summary; -’ ’
August, -1911, Cttttfli, Fines $174.
August 1610, Cases r 58, Fines $246.
August, 1666, Castb*19, Finns, $ 64.
August, '1*08, Cases 16, Fines $163.
An examination of - docket shows
that Mayor'Cox during 1616 and 1911
baa had a great many caaes before
him, but at above resulta show, hla
policy haa been to temper Justice with
mercy and fines are light In moat
Wh'ether thin policy tends to
decrease these cases It a question
that tbe moraliat 'must solve. Bat
without queetlon the work at Mayor's
Court Is becoming dally greater and'
more burdensome, and the tlnfk must
soon come when Waycross will need
a recorder to try all theae caaes
dally and relieve tbe Mayor from
this responsibility.

ternoon Frank Gotcb, the world 1
champion wrestler, will defend hit
title against George Hackenschmldt,
the “Russian Lion,” from whom the
Iowa grappler wrested the champion
ship In a contest In this city on
April 2, 1908. Tbe bout hat attract

gate receipts besides a large tli
and the championship title.
Both wrestlers are reported today
to be In the finest fettle j[p^ r |be match,
and all Indications point to a desper
ate struggle for supremacy. In a
broad sense the contest will be one
of cleverness against strength and en
durance. Gotch Is acknowledged tc
be the cleverest wrestler who evqr
•topped on tho mat. Hackenschmldt
employs no llttlo sclence In his mov-
trouble. One of the most exciting,
matches be ever had was when ho
maLMadratl, tbe "Terrible Turk,’"
with an unbeaten record. The match
was for the world'a championship.
Notwithstanding the great strength
and weight of ’ the Turk, Hachen-
schmldt defeated him In Jnat 44 ae»-
onds. Not until be met Frank Gotob
did the big Russian know the sting
of defeat Hackenschmldt acknowl
edges that Gotch la the cleverest man
III'the game, but he declares that fa>
the coming match he will be .able, to-
undermine the strength of the cham
pion with hj^Tar greater atrengtb anffi
In the end will be returne dthe win
