A To the Public of Waycross and Ware County: As announced in yesterday’s issues of both the Herald and the Journal, t have come into oossession of the plant of the Herald, as it stands, under a lease which givdl me absolute control of the outfit during the life of said lease, free from all restrictions, with the exception of a clause which pro hibits the publication of a daily paper. Deing a newspaper man of varied experiences, especially In the publi cation of weeklies, and having lived in this county for more than five years the proposition appeals to me as an exceptional opening for the publication rf a weekly paper, edited along free and independent lines, for the benefit of no particular class or faction, but solely with an eye to the business end, which, in my opinion, can only be made to succeed by catering to the sub scribers, giving them the news of any and all matters of a publishable nature without fear of or favor to anyone. It is my opinion, after a careful study of the field, that there is at pres ent a crying need In this county for a newspaper that can and will supplv \s readers with a clear, concise and unprejudiced report of the doings of cur public officials, the true conditions exisiting in the mercantile field, the manner In which our public institutions are being conducted, and at the same time cover the religious, social and general news field thoroughly each week. In this venture I propose to try out a policy which I am satisfied will fullflU my most sanguine expectations; vlx.: to depend upon my subscrip tlon list, that Is the general public, for I expect to secure an exceptionally large circulation, for the main support of the enterprise. With sufficient subscribers the publication can be made independent In every sense of the word, and therefore, it's editor can make It its readers’ paper. By follow 'ng the obsolete plan of presenting the public with 62 issues of a paper, gratis and then depending upon its advertising patronage for its sole sup port, the publication naturally becomes the mouthpiece of its paying pat rons, In other words it Is subsidized by the business world and !ts policy dictated by factions and interest which as a rule are detrimental to the interests of the general public. By being among the 2,ono or more paid subscribers, which I trust I will be able to secure in a very short time, you will enable your paper to select its advertising partonage, charge a Icgitl > nlate rate for space and retain its Independence. No publication which ' given you free, can live and refuse to sell Its editorial policy to the highest Udder. .No editor can condemn a business policy, even though it is ob viously detrimental to the public welfare. If the advocates of the policy are his advertising patrons and sole means of support. No editor with his pockets filled with railroad passes can Impartially report matters detri mental to the public welfare and advantageous to the railroads. No man can serve two masters; you either subscribe for a paper and pay It. or continue to read distorted news, dictated to the editor by the various powers which control the sheet through advertising patronage. On the second Friday In October the Waycross Saturday Night will make «t* debut into the field of Journalism and a cordial Invitation Is hereby tended to the reneral public to put their names to the subscription which Is at present open in my office In the Southern building, where upon payment of $1.00 your name will be entered for 52 issues of the Waycross Saturday Night which will be placed In the postoffice addressed to you ev ery Friday afternoon, with the distinct understanding that if at the expira tion of six months you are not thoroughly satisfied that you arc getting your money's worth, you may call at office of publication, nad upon so stating, receive your $1.00 without question. The Waycross Saturday Night will be devotfc despecially to the interest of the tollers, which Includes Farmer as well as Mechanic. The cause of Organised Labor will be staunchly, but I hope intelligently fostered and defended, and I WANT THE UNION HEX OF WAYCROSS AXP WARE COUNTY TO FEEL THAT IX THE -WAYCROSS SATURDAY NIGHT* THEY WILL HATE AX ORGAN CLEAN, FEARLESS AXD RELIABLE.

Dear Sir: Have you ever seriously thought of what our Emerson Park proposition means to thq citizens of Waycross? It Is not a question of whether or not they will buy It, that la a sure thing. We have sold great many blocks already and there are numbers of people in Waycross, who, when they learn of It and un derstand It will. buy. Here la the trouble about selling a man a city lot: If It la close enough in for him to enjoy city conveniences the price ■pis too high for the average man, and *f he gets out far enough to get a lot at a price low enough, he is too far to enjoy city comforts. Therefore a man when he buys a lot away from the city conveniences wants ground enough that he can have his chick ens. and raise his vegetables, fruits, etc., and have a cow and pigs. Now a whole block in Emerson Park can be bought for only $500.00 and a ^ block contains Just 20 of the average city lots. The terms are only $10.00 per month—no Interest. Suppose two friends wanted to buy a block togeth er they would pay only $5.00 each per month. One of these blocks will plant out 00 pecan trees and 00 good trees will pay a man on an average of $75.00 per month fro mthe time they are 10 years old till they get 20, and are growing better all the time. This does not include what can be deriv ed from satsumas, figs, grapes, and other fruits and vegetables. Is It not attractive? Can’t you tbat It is the thing Waycross long been needing? It allows a man a chance to put aside a portion of his hard earned money because h’ has ground enough to raise a great many of the things he otherwise would have to buy. Any man who has an ambition to have something, we can help him. If be hasn’t any, we don’t want him. D. * 0. LOTT CO.

R0BDER KILLS THREE THEN SHOOTS SELF London, Sept. 17.—Premier qulth announced today that the In dian troops of the British army are on their way to the seat of war. It Is believed that they number about 70,000. Although Premier Asquith did not say so, it Is probable that the Indians have already reached the front and are taking part in the great battle which Is raging in France. It has been the Immutable custom of the War Office and the Press Bureau not to forecast any events, but to wait un til they had happened before making any announcement. The Indian troops, which were brought from Southern Asia to help the Allies upon the Continent, make up the latest army to be sent across the channel to take part in the war against Germany.
