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.” ATHLETICS WIN TODAY’S GAME score: R; H E « IE I YEW YORK SPORTS SET IE* TO NIKE THE GUHTS 1 WIN THE OIG SERIES Xtw York, Oct. 0. -Wl,,,) w , w looked upon as tlio first tost, of votiiik’ strength between the High Chmvli and l,„„- Church factions cimic Into yesterday at tile trien- mnl 'enlion of th 0 Protestant Kpiseopal Church, when the Rev.
