WARESBORO
BEATS OUR BOYS
HELPING BAXLEY
ANO SOUTH GA.
IN A SNAPPY GAME OF BALL ON
LABOR DAY.
Waresboro, Ga., September 7.—
Some Waycross boys, feeling jubi
lant over the fact that the A. C. L.
team of their city beat r team
from Waresboro, took Labor Day as
the time to come down to Waresboro
and beat them again, but they were
a bit surprised when the Waresboro
boys landed on McDonalds delivery
for about 20 hltg and scored 11 times
in the first game of the double head
er played. There was some good play
ers on the team from Waycross,
among whom were F. Downing and
E. McDonald, but on the whole the
WaycroBB boys must have had a day
off as they made a great many more
errors than scores. The evening
game was not any better, as Rowell
for Waresboro, had them at his mercy
throughout the whole game. A feature
of the game was the outfield work for
Waresboro and the battery work of
Rowell and Durden.
The line-up was as follows: Wares
boro: Spence, 3b; Hargraves, If;
Cribb, cf; O. Jeffords, rf; S. Rowell,
p; McLaughlin, 2b; H. Jeffords lb;
D. White, SB. Waycross;: Nicholson

The building of the bridge across
the Altomaha at Baxley will be one
of the most important events In the
history of the development of South
-Georgia. It will break down and ov
ercome the Chinese wall that baa
practically cut ux off from east Geor
gia and will bring commerce in a
stream via Baxley and Waycroit.
Savannah is taking great Interest in
the work and is nobly responding
with her share of the cost. Waycross
is also doing her best to swell the
fund and build the bridge. For it
means much to us in traffic and bus
iness. The building of the bridge se
cures for Waycross the Savannah-
Jacksonville route and the Valdosta-
8avannah route aud will concentrate
good road building direct into Way-
cross. The bridge will be a three
Epan steel bridge, 550 feet long and
16 feet wldOk with a drawbridge, cap
able of supporting twenty tons. The
cost of the bridge and approaches
will be approximately $30,000 and
more than $20,000 has already been
subscribed. The bridge will be a toll
bridge at first and will doubtless be
a fine investment. It is anticipated
that eventually Toombs and Appling
counties, on each side, will buy the
bridge and mako it free to all.
