vestiguto this matter and we And
that Ware county last year raised
aud shipped away about one thou
•aud holes of sea island cotton.
At $(15 a halo (tbo average price
last, year) this cotton sold at
♦115,000.
And yet the Waycross met
chants have made no effort, are
making none, to bring this cotton
and this neat sum of money to
Waycross, its Ingicul murket.
Manor alone shipped lust year
over six hundred Imles of cotton,
all in the seed, Millwood several
hundred and Wureshoro quite a
good deal.
The trouble is that W aycross
merchants are quite satisfied to
feast on monthly payrolls, which
come without eff ort on their part.
It is quite time in the course of
human events pertaining to this
town to wiggle out of our slick
berths and do something for our
selves.
THE FAIR GROUND.
A meeting of fh« stockholders
of the Fair Association is called
for tonight aud we understand
that it is the purpose of some of
the stockholders to sell the fair
grounds aud go out of the fuir
business.
Such u move would bn a dis
tinct loss to Waycross and il is
to be regretted that there is even
a possibility of losing the fair
grounds as such.
However, the fair association is
a private corporation and the fair
ground's private property, and
it is only nutural that the stock
holders, feeling that there is no
opportunity lor a successful fair
this year, should endeavor to dis
pose of their property to the best
advantage.
Now tho question with the Way-
oross people to consider is whet I
we shall ever bold another fair
fairs. There is but one answer—
yes. Waycross can never think
of going out of the fair business.
Indeed site is just arriving at tin
stage in her existence when sin
1 can have successful fairs—agricul
tural fairs—the kind uml only
kind that are really valuable.
It is likely that on account of
the state fair to be held in our
sister city this year. it. might not
be judicious to attempt one here
this fall. Hut it is quite likely
that the state fair will go back to
' north or middle Georgia after this
yoar and we shall be able to bold
successful fairs in the future.
lu any case, we need a fair
grouud aud if the Fair Association
•s'! ihe giouuus, in our opinion
the city ought to purchase them,
and keep up the buildings for fair
purposes. We nre informed that
the grounds and buildings cost
something like six thousand dol
lars. It is likely Glut the stock
holders would sell to the city for
'half that amount. The laud,
which is thirty acres, is worth
three thousand dollars and could
be beautified ns a nark if nothing
else.
But Waycross will want other
fairs in the future. She will not
always hi- handicapped. The city
should own a fair ground.

It was announced from Valdos
ta, a few days ago that that city
would soon have in operation a
gin with a capacity of 100 bales
of long cotton a day.
It was an itqm that appeared to
coil cent the people there, as well
it might. If Waycross had need
of a gin with capacity of ten bales
a day it- would mean more lo this
city than a !>ig factory.
And yet, Waycross lias need of
ft gin with «*veu a greater capacity
than ten hales.
A few years ago some statistic
al report published to the world
that Ware county raised 50 hales
of cotton a y»ar. It was a lie
The End of the Human Race.
In the wise economy of Nature
it is so ordered that ull vegetable
life purifies the air for animal
life, uml vice verca. Animals f
siime oxygen and exhalo carbonic
acid, while vegetation absorbs cur-
hqnic acid, robbing it of its carbon
and setting tho oxygen free. The
original atmosphere of the earth
before animal life existed consist
ed essentially of nitrogen and car
bonic acid. Our supply of atmos
pheric oxgen has been furnished
by the great forests of vegetation,
midi as the coal-ferns, which cov-
vered the earth in the Carbonifer
ous Age, when the coal-bed* were
formed. The same conditions,
only on a smaller scale, continue
to prevail; but it is not likely
that tho oxygen given out by
present vegetation is, or will be,
sufficient to keep pace with its
rmotisly increusmg consump
tion by man. Lord Kelvin has es
timated that if the present con
sumption of coal in huiuuii indus
tries continues with anything like
present ratio of increase, tho
great coal-measures will ho ex
hausted, and the oxygen ot our at
mosphere practically consumed by
its combustion, within the next
four or five centuries. This is the
most likely, perhaps, of i ll pos
sible calamities to generally affect
the human race, and it more di
rectly concerns us at the present
timi', from our realization that we
are extravantly wasting the breath
of life of th >se who are soon to
follow.—August Woman’s Home
Companion.
It is said of a former uinnjuisof

supposed he was intimidated n

manner to cheer his spirits. “Oh,’’
