Savannah, Ga., Dec. 14.—Hon. Jo
seph Way, one of the most prominent
citizens of Liberty county, has started
in on a pretty large, scale to pro/e
that as pood oranges can be raised in
South Georgia as in Florida. Mr. Way,
who owns a large farm near Hina*
ville, has.planted one hundred orange
trees on It and within the next thvoe
years he anticipates that he will have
a crop of oranges to gather from
them. %
He doesn't know any reason why, he
says, why oranges shouldn't- grow in
this section of Georgia as the winters
are very mild.and it in seldom itfiat
there is enough cold to kill the trees.
There are probably a half dozen or
ange trees in Liberty county now that
bear every year.
Once in a great while they are nl>
ped by the cold but not often enoug 1
to hurt or to interfere with ihelr
yield.

Editor Herald:—
I wish to-thank my many friend*
for their loyal support and for the
bard work done In my behalf, during
the past few weeks. I also wish to
thank the Waycros* Evening Moral I
and lh* Waycroaa Journal, for lb*
Impartial stand taken by them towards
the various candidates In tb* recent
Primary. /
Now that Col. H. D .Reed baa bean
chosen by a majority of our citizens
as their Chief Executive tor the next
two yean, I urge all my Mends ;o
lend him and tbe administration of
initial! such support as la seCestvY
at all times to the. upbuilding and el-
veneement of this, tbe Queen City of
the Wlregnss.
In retiring to the private Ufe, I wish
to assure tboee who may have opposed
me that I harbor.no |ll feeling against
them and I carry with me the inter
est* of my city end her people, and
stand ready at all times to put my
shoulder to the wheel and, fh my let
hie way, do all that lay within n-y

Rockford, III., Dec. 14.—The Silver
Jubilee of Bishop Muldoon's ordina
tion to the priesthood was celebrate]
here today, by visiting bishops nnd
priests and people of Rockford and
vicinity.
Bishop Muldoon vetoed tbe plane
for a large public celebration, but uio
clergy were not content to allow the
anniversary to past entirely unobser
ved.
Really every town in the state oa*
tbe menace and went to work on It
vigorously. County and city authori
ties responded, and demanded that
Idle men show some good reason fail
declining to work or take the coneo-
quences.
In Jacksonville and Tampa, tho
shipping Interests wero seriously hen-
dlcappod through the unwillingness of
negroes to work more 'than Juit
enough to secure them against wall-..
Shipping concern* In Jacksonville
were compelled to carry more lion
fifty per cent of the labor they actual
ly got on their payrolls. Vessols on
demurrage do not tend to popularixo
n port, and It was but a short Urn*
until lbs authorities of thee* two cit
ies bed done much to relieve condt-
tone. •
