The PUBLISHED TWICE-A-VVEEK. VOL. VII—NO. SI. WAYCROSS, GA., TUESDAY. JULY 20. 1902. §g—— $1.00 A YEAR Democracy vs Aristocracy. He Makes a Great Speech in the East on Democratic Unity. At a Democratic "harmony" meeting held at Nautasket, Mass.. Thursday William J. Bryan ad dressed about 4,000 people on Democratic harmony. It is speech was a masterpiece of philosophy in which he showed the dilt'ereuco between false and real harmony'. He also drew a strong distinction between the Democrat and Autocrat. Some of his finest passages are as follows: “In view of numerous harmony dinners, and the discord they have created it may not be out of place to consider the l>asis of harmony. Thu word “Harmony,” is euphon ious, and the idea which it conveys is a delightful one. Harmony! How it sooths the ear and calls up visions of peace and love and joy. Harmony, whether among the heavenly bodies whose movements make tho music of the spheres or among the bodies terrestrial with their conflicting interests and varying moods, who can resist its claims or dispute its sway. Har mony is but a synonym for order, nud is not the result of chance, but a product of inexorable law. The musician must learn the scale and properly arrange the notes, or har mony, no matter how earnestly wooed, can never he won. AUISTOCItAT VERSUS DEMOCRAT. “The great founder of the Dem ocratic patty whose profound phil osophy sounded all the depts of human nature and measured the hight and breadth of human gov ernment, not long before the end of his eventful life, said in a letter to Mr. Lee, that there were but two permanent parties, the aristo cratic und the Democratic; that these two parties existed in every country, and that where there was freedom to think, speak ami write, these parties would become appar ent. With the aristocratic party he classed ‘those who fear and THE HOSPITAL HAS BEGUN ITS WORK Rev. W. H. Scruggs is Presidcnt- Sutscription Lists will te Started. The board of directors of the Wayeross Hospital Association held their first meeting Friday morning. The attendance was good, only one member of the board being absent. Kev. \V. H. Scruggs was elected president, Hon. Warren Lott, vice-president and Mr. C. E. Murphy, secretary and treasurer.

He believ ed in the rule of the people, in their capacity for self government and in their right to tho control of their own alfairs. Ho did not doubt that they would make mis takes, but he knew that they would bear punishment for their own mistakes with more complacency than they would oudure punish ment for the mistakes of others, and he was certain that their errors would be unintentional ones. lie knew that, as they found no profit in bail laws, they would strive to correct them and would profit bv experience. He was a friend of everything that helped the people, and the unrelenting foe of every thing that injured them. He was identified with the masses, and considered that in bo far as by iu- heritaupe or by his own efforts he possessed anyad van tag-: over others tie held that advantage as a trustee for those less fortunate.

Moore to a Journal reporter the other day. “We need a young men’s business league.” “You see,” lie went on to ex plain, “we have been trying ti build up Wayeross by fits and starts and most of our efforts fail. Now if we would go at this thing gradually ami systematically could lie so much more certain of success. “Let a hundred young men go into a league with a determination to do something and we’ll show the old men of this town how to do something. Suppose,” said he, warming up to his subject, “a hundred of us young fellows go in to this thing, forming a stock com pany, allowing each man to take only $25 worth of stock. Lot him have five mouths to pay for this stock, making one of tho banks hero the repository. At the end of live months 100 men have depos ited nr paid in $2,500. Now, this is enough money to start a small factory. Let the company secure a good large lot near the railroad track somewhere and put up, say a grist mill. That is oue of the surest enterprises and the wholesale houses hero would sell all the meal and griBt it could grind. Let the company put in u large engine that could carry future additions. “Now we have one concern start ed, but we must nut stop. Let each man continue putting hie five dollars a month into the com pany. At the end of another live months we have another $2,500. It wont take a'.! this to add a has ket factory to our plant.

The meeting was called to order hy Mr. L. Johnson. Mr. K. II. Crawley acted as secretary. It was decided to sell tho fair grounds after much discussion. The majority of the stockholders claimed that the fairs held here have never henetitted either tlie town or the Association. That they have consisted chiefly ot a i mm her of choiip shows, which carried more money away from Wayeross than they brought here and have advanced neither the in dustrial nor tlie agricultural inter ests of tho country. A committee, composed of Messrs. G. It. Tollmans, J. fcv Hailey and L. Johnson, were ap pointed to make the sale after t conference with th« board of direc tors. A new board of directors was elected; they are Messrs. W. M Toomer, W. A. Price, J. S. Hailey, W. W. Sharpe, L. A. Wilson, J. A Joues and A. Sessoms. Thh stockholders * |ted thank* to Messrs. L.

It will not only build up tin- town, but it will make tho young men save money and invest it properly. “Having our factory all in one place, under one roof, you might say, with the same machinery turn ing the whole plant, with one manager mid oue set of clerks, you see, would obviate a large expense of having everything separate and under different management as the littlo factories in the town of Dublin. They are making money- over there with their small facto ries although they are owned and operated by different parties. We coulu make much more under my plan. “Oh, I lei! you, we young fellows can just make this town buzz, if we’ll go into a league of that sort. It would make her blossom like a June rose, I tell you." And John walked away, leaving the reporter convinced that his idea would do more than a rail road to make Wayeross grow. Tbe Mill-eud sale, its coming.
