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.

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. sada Gotch Hackenachmldj:. 33 Years Age 34 Yearn J208 Pounds , . . . h weight ...... . 86$ Pou#df\ 5 feet 11 Inches Height • ""'S'- 6 futVlneSe# 73 inchu Reach 74 1-3 laches 17 Inchu .
