SIIIDIY VIOUTORS GIVE BOND,
IE III CITY
George Papadeas, Tony Brown,
Peter George and II. Ketzif ap
peared before Judge John C. Me
Donald of the City Court this
morning in ansyyer to charges
made by D. Cowart and were
hound over in the sum of $100
each to await the action of the
December term of court.
The four above named wore
arrested by Constable M. Clem
ens, and had no difficulty in giv
ing bond.
As stated in yesterday’s Jour
nal these four arrests are just the
beginning of one of the greatest
religions crusades ever) attempted
in Waycross.
Mr. II. Murphy, whom Mr.
Cowart says is connected with
him as loaders of the crusade, Is
not in the city* and has not been
here for several weeks, and for
this reason the Journal hag not
been able to get any statement
from him.
Mr. D. Cowart says that he is
going to stand by his guns, and
fight the matter to the last ditch.
Tn conversation with a represen
tative of the Journal over the
telephone Mr. Cowart said: “T
would feel that I was not doing
iny duty to my God and mv fel-
lowman if T should fail to see
that men who are violating the
Sabbath law. and other immoral
laws are punished.”
Continuing Mr. Cowart said:
‘‘Brother Murphy and I are lead
ing the work because we have
been called upon to do it. We
have started the same work be
fore, but because wc did not
want to work hardships upon any
one, wc took the written agree
ment. which we still have, of a
number of drug and other merch
ants in which they promised to
stop violating the law. “These
men have not done this and we
not going to take any more
promises.”
As stated in yesterday’s Jour
nal there are a great many peo
ple in Waycross who feel that
while there is being a slight vio
lation of the law, there has been
no violation that is not seen in
every other city of the size of
Waycross. Prominent men who
are not in sympathy with Messrs.
Colwart and Murphy state that
these gentlero|<*n can not make
“flesh of one, and foul of anoth
er,” and that every man who
sells a railroad or street, ear tick*
•, milk, newspaper, shoe
shine, cigar or electric current
will he prosecuted.
One man was heard to remark
that tlio “men who are proserut-
ng flic fruit denbrs sit. in the!
burches on Sunday fanned b;
he cool breezes from electrii
fans, and keep in the brightest
light by the eleetrie current, but
do not stop to think that, the man
who is shoveling the eoal to heat
the boilers is breaking the .flab
bath.”
