DIXIE LIMITED STARTS SUNDAY
Will BE FINE TOURIST SPECIAL
As was predicted some time
ago the official announcement
was made in Waycross yester
day, stating that the first south-
bound Dixie Limited would leave
Chicago Dec. 7, reaching Way-
cross at 5:47 o’ clock Monday
afternoon.
The first northbound Dixie
Limited passes Waycross Tues
day morning shortly after eleven
o'clock. This is practically the
same schedule the train was op
erated on last winter.
Probably the only big change
in the equipment of the train for
the 1913-14 season is the inaug
uration of day coach service be
tween Jacksonville and Chicago.
Last season the train earned day
coachcs only between Waycross
and Jacksonville, this being done
to give Waycross the benefit of
the local business between the
two cities, <*£ , -
The Dixie Limited will he an
eight ear train and will he op
erated on an unusually fasl sche
dule. It will pass through Way-
cross, Tifton, Macon, Atlanta,
Chattanooga and other cities now
reached by the Dixie Flyer ser
vice. Railroad officials from all
roads interested in the new train
will be aboard the first south
bound train. Officials of the At
lantic Cpast Line' will join the
party at Tifton and, Waycross for
the trip into Jacksonville.
The general public opinion
seems to be that PLURALITY
will win out tomorrow over ma
jority plan for future city pri
maries.
The majority plan provides
that if there are more than two
men running for the same office,
one man ranst receive a majority,
or more than 50 per cent of ALL
THE VOTES CAST. In other
words it very often means TWO
PRIMARIES, or eletcions when
ONE is ss much as' the • averago
laboring man, business tnan, pro
fessional man cares for.
Under the majority plan it it poR MAJORITY,
i possible for men with money and
considerable influence to split the
vote in a first election against a
man who happens to be strong,
and whom he happens not to
want, and then PUT HIS MON
EY ON ANOTHER MAN in the
last race. This is ODDS
AGAIN8 THE POOR MAN for
two reasons. First because it
fftrces'him to msk* two races, and
the second one is alwaya very ex
pensive, and second, because it
gives the man with money an op
portunity to fill the field against
him in the first election by pay
ing the campaign expenses of
candidates that are likely to draw
from the POOR man who is not
wanted. "* 1 rf *
Under the PLURALITY plan
the man who receives the highest
number of votes in the first pri
mary wins. In other words, the
“ LONGEST POLE GETS THE
PERSIMMONS.” • fhis does
away with so many elections. Ev
erybody knows that Waycross
has too many elections and to tic
the city up to a majority plan
would be inflicting a'hardship
upon the busmen man, and bus
iness interests of the city.
If you want to vot* tor plurali
