IN. PARKER REPLIES TO
REV. THRASHE!
Editor Waycross Herald,
Dear Sir: —
Will you please allow me space in
your paper to reply to letter printed
In Waycross Journal of yesterday
Bignejl J, B. Thrasher and Your Mem
bers. First, I will say I believe that
had Rev. Thrasher been as- fair to me
as the writer of the letter signed

Seventh, The man who says or even
Insinuates that I have ever been in
bankruptcy is a liar and is not a de
sirable member of any church.
Eighth, I have never asked Rev.
Thrasher and I trust not his writer
to vote for me and I will gladly fur-
»Your Members he
would not have n,8h ci ‘ hor wlth a P ern,,t 10 votB for

Second, I don’t think it jmt exnetl*-
right for Rev.Thrasher to have a letter
printed bringing in personalties when
he admits lie does not know the au
thor.
Third, I don’t think a pastor of an
church should not embarass his mem
bers by handing for publication-private f

Trouble between Italy and Turkey
which- culminated this afternoon in a
declaration of war at Rome, dates
back to 1578 when with the making of
the treatj*. concluding the Russo-
Turkic!i war, the powers are under
stood to havo agreed to permit Italy a
"pacific penetration of Tripoli.” Ti»-
key claims this rght has been respec
ted ever since.
Italy has colonized Tripoli until her
interests in that African province ar»
very great. She has asserted, how
ever, that her subjocts have been, mis
treated by tbe Ottoman authorities
and constantly discriminated against.
The official announcement was made
lato this afternoon. It declared that
the two countries were in a state of
war, beginning at half past 2 o clock
on the afternoon of Friday, Septem
