WAYCROSS NEWS NOTES.
A Ware Count* Mai. Find* Farming
a Good Investment.
Waycross, Ga., June 6.—Dr. J. M.
Spence of Waresboro Is probably the
largest and most successful farmer in
Ware county, cultivating in the neigh
borhood of five hundred acres of land each
yeaT. In conversation with a newspaper
man to-day the doctor said that the life
of this county was dependent on the soil
and will continue to be indefinitely. We
may boast of being manufacturers, but
the prospect before us Is the soil, and we
must cultivate that. The doctor is of the
opinion that if every merchant in Way
ctoss would buy him a farm outside of the
town, and begin to cultivate it, they
would be surprised He says that he can
put SSOO in a Ware county farm and make
a bigger dividend than in any business ip
Waycross, and do it the first year. The
doctor is making a big success of hts
farm, running the same in connection
with various Industries and enterprises in
which he is interested.
The colored department of the public
school of Waycross will give an exhibi
tion at the school building in Reedsville
to-morrow night, beginning at 8 o'clock.
The principal. Prof. Floyd Snelson, has
arranged an interesting programme.

months last night. Vice Grand J. S.
Baugh was advanced to the station of

Fickeri tendered his resignation, and K.
E. L. Hemby was elected to fill the un
expired term which ends July 1, when all

meeting last night.
To Ben Stock Company.
The firm of Brad. Watson & Cos. is to
be made a stock company about the first
of October. It is to be capitalized at $30,-
000. One-half of this amount will be com
mon stock, and has already been sub
scribed for by 'Mr. Watson. The other
$15,000 will be preferred stock with a guar
anteed dividend of 10 per cent. About half
of this has been disposed of, and a good
part of the remaining stock will be taken
by a Northern capitalist.
New Electric Liglit Plant.
There has been some talk in Waycross
of a not her electric light plant. The Way
cross Ice Company, recently organized, Is
considering seriously the matter of putting
in such a plant In addition to their ice
business. Mr. John Youmans, manager
of the Waycross Ice Company, says that
while no definite action has been taken in
regard to It, hi* people are discussing the
matter, and it la quite likely that It will
be done.
A Rigid Examination.
At the recent examination for teachers'
licenses in Ware county, there were 19
white applicants and 6 colored. It can
not he learned definitely how many were
successful, but it is thought that quite
a number failed' in making a sufficient
percentage to entitle them to teach In
the public schools. The examination was
the most rigid that the teachers have
ever had to contend with.. School Com
missioner T. R. Bennett is grading the
papers, and he will present them- to the
Board of Education for approval at their
meeting Monday.

“chain” would have come In very conven
iently at this meeting had the “chief”
been present.

Election—Other Matter*.
Dublin, Ga., June 6. —Yesterday a negro
by the name of Will Husher was commit
ted to Jail for making a oriminal assault
upon a negro gir) by the name of Mollie
Lee. The crime was committed about
five miles from Dublin, on the east side
of the river. The negroes are not as much
stirred up over the crime as they are over
the crime of John Robinson, who mur
dered his victim.
Yesterdny afternoon (he City Board of
Education held a meeting and re-elected
the entire corps of teachers of the Dublin
public schools except Mrs. J .A. Peacock,
music teacher, and Miss Ruby Hightower,
teacher of the seventh grade, both of
whom declined re-election. The following
were the teachers elected: J. C. Wardlaw,
principal; W. R. Lanier, assistant; Mrs.
C. C. Daley, teacher of elocution and
physical culture; Mrs. J. S. Simons, Jr.,
teacher of art; Miss Lucy Chapman,
music teacher, and Mrs. Celia Campbell,
Misses Julia Thwealt, Lizzie May Duncan,
Mamie Ramsey, Annie Green and Etna
Peacock. The position of teacher of the
seventh grade was not filled 1 , the election
of this teacher being postponed until the
15th Instant.
New officers of the Board of Education
were also elected yesterday afternoon,
this being necessary because the terms of
President J. M. Minar and Secretary K.
H. Walker have expired, the City Council
electing Messrs. J. H. Witherington, and
B. H. Rawls In their places. The election
resulted as follows: President, J. T.
Smith; secretary, J. H. Witherington;
treasurer, A. P. Hilton.
For several days rumors have been
prevalent on the streets of Dublin that
about three weeks ago four young Dublin
people were secretly married. This all of
the parties concerned deny, though the
records of the ordinary of the county
show that a license was recently issued
for one of the couples. The rumor states
that a certain Justice of the peace per
formed both marriage ceremonies. The
Justice in question will neither deny or
affirm whether or not he officiated at the
marriage of one or both or neither. It Is
the belief of the people that one of the
couples really are married, but that the
rumors concerning the other originated
by a Joke.
Mr. Paul Hough, who for ten years past
has filled the dual position of conductor
of (he Macon, Dublin and Savannah road
and chief clerk to Geenral Manager James
T. Wright, has been appointed assistant
to the president, and will move his family
from Dublin to Macon. Conductor Brown
of the Southern Road succeeds Mr. Hough
as conductor on the Macon, Dublin and
Savannah Road.

THE RIBBF.RXECK EXCURSION.
A New AVny of Seeing Washington
With Lots of Information Thrown
in.
From the New York Sun.
Washington, May 18.—The rubberneck
excursion Is the newest plan of sightsee
ing In Washington. It consists of a two
hours' street car trip all over the city
without transfer, with a conductor lec
turing through a megaphone from start
to finish, and all for the sum of 50 cents.
The idea is a great success. Three or
four trips a day are made, and each
time the 40-foot car is crowded to the
limit and beyond.
' Right this way, please,” called out the
manager of the tours, a hndsome, well
dressed young man, as he gathered his
passengers. No soner had the crowd
climbed Into the car than the dapper
young manager passed along, saying:
“Kindly turn your seats the other way
a moment. We want to take a picture
of the car; some of the New York papers
want it.” Then he added sotto voice,
"Maybe."
The passengers complied readily enough,
the manager assumed a striking attitude
on the front platform, the shutter click
ed and the passengers changed their seats
again.
"Ladies and gentlemen,” sang out the
guide, holding to his mouth a megaphone
about twelve inches long, as the car
started. “From this point the Seeing
Washington Excursion starts on Its grand
toirr of the city. Directly in front you see
Unole Sam’s pocketbook, the United
States Treasury, adorned by colonnades.
It is to be regretted the grounds are not
more eommemsurate with the beauty of
the building. It is related that during
Jackson's administration there was a
prolonged dispute over where the Trea
sury building should be located. One day,
while discussing the subject with the
Secretary t of the Treasury, Jackson, Who
had grown weary of the squabble, thrust
his cane in the ground and said. ‘Here
is where it shall be built,’ and It Is there
yet-"
From this time on the young: man kept
pouring out an extraordinary flood of
information about Washington. Its build
ings and its citixens, past and present.
In F Street, the great business thorough
fare of Washington, there appeared in
his talk signs of a little scheme which
should and probably does bring in a con
siderable revenue to the excursion com
pany. As each prominent, retail store
theater or hotel was passed, the guide
carefully pointed it out. explaining Its
good points. He possessed some humor,
that guide, although he modestly ascribed
his jokes to the management.
"I might Inform you." he said, after
springing a few which were received
more with open-mouthed curiosity than
appreciative laughter, "that applause and
laughter are permitted by the manage
ment. This is probably because it fur
nishes all the wit and Jokes along with
the Information.”
The Patent Office was passed on three
sides. Bach time the guide had something
fresh to remark about the building. First
he Informed the crowd It was the purest
example of Grecian architecture In the
country and had so many thousand pa
tent models In it. The next time, from
the opposite side, he said It was devoted
largely to women who had secured "fO,-
000 patents, and not all on hairpins,
either." The third time he directed at-

A lecture on the beauties of Judiciary 1
Square followed. “And over here,’’ he
continued, "we have the city hall, where
justice Is handed out and where Indis
pensable marriage licenses can be obtain
ed for $1 each with no divorce coupon
attached,” whereupon every one looked
'at the blushing bride and conscious bride
groom in the rear of the car.
"On the right,” said the guide a little
later, “we have the room in which Henry
Clay died. Down the street are the gov
ernment mailbag shops where all the
mailbags are repaired. Here the govern
ment has employed an old blind Woman
for forty years. She is said to be the
most expert employe on repairing mail
bags. Ahead you see the police court.
It was formerly a church and in its
steeple hung a bell cast by the Revere
Brothers, a firm of which Paul Revere
was a member. It was the only bell In
the country which tolled for John
Brown.”
Then came the court house with the
room where Guiteau was tried. “And
now," went on the guide, “we come to
a house built by George Washington after
his own plans from the brick brought
from England, now called the Kenmore
Hcuse, where,” his voice dropping to a
megaphonia and thrilling whisper, “a
most mysterious murder was committed
night before last.”
Then the tourists rubbered sure enough,
for the papers had been full of the
murder. In front of the house stood a
blue-coated policeman and a dozen curious
boys, but otherwise the place was as de
serted In appearance as If It had been
idle sinoe George Washington’s time.
“And here we have the eternal Capitol
of the eternal 'Republic, majestic, im
posing, grand; the emblem of American
freedom and the storehouse of American
liberty.” Loud applause followed this
patriotic outburst, at which the guide was
visibly pleased, it being the hit of the
day. "Here is the great plaza where Clay
received Lafayette, where Dewey receiv
ed his sword voted by Congress in recog
nition of his immortal conquest at Manila,
and where,” pausing impressively, “the
blithering cavaliers of Coxey received the
Immortal command, 'Keep off the grass.' ’
Halting in front of a photagraph gal
lery, he said: "You see the picture of
John A. Joyce; that grand old poet, who
disputes with Ella Wheeler Wilcox the
honor of having written 'Laugh and the
world laughs with you,' which line Is
perfectly true; a dispute which has
taken the place over that of 'Beautiful
Snow.’ Here Is the Bureau of Engrav

gaged in engraving and printing my
salary, and they don't have to work over
time.”
From a shed in the rear of the Depart
ment of Agriculture an employe was
leisurely leaning out of a window regard
ing the excursionists with placid Interest.
"Here you have an example,” said the
guide, "of one of Uncle Sam's employes
on one of his busiest days,” where upon
the tourists rubbered back at the clerk.
After describing the Long Bridge the
guide ramerked: "At the battle of Bull
Run an Irish Major instructed his men
to Are as long as their ammunition lasted
and then to retreat orderly, 'and,' he
added, 'as I’m a little lame I'li start
now.' *'
In sight of the Dewey house the car
stopped. "This Is the residence of Gen.
Draper, formerly Ambassodar to Italy,”
the guide said. "It was formerly occu
pied by Mrs. McLean and It was here that
the gallant Dewey, fresh from his vic
tories over formllaMe foes, struck his
colors to the charming widow Haxen.
And here we have the Dewey home pre
sented to him by popular subscription.
It holds the record for quick transfer."
Coming down Connecticut avenue the
guide said: "Here we pass a select color

the diphteria before joining it. It Is the
First Baptist Church,"
His remark was taken tn all serious
ness, the tourlms wondering how diph

A. DANGEROUS SPORT.
Wasp Nesting Liable to be a Costly
Bit of Fan.
From the Pittsburg Post.
Everybody ought ito tenow, if he does
not, .that not a finer bait can be fixed
than the grub of a wasp taken fresh from
a wasp’s nest. Fish will bite at this bait
when nothing else will tempt them. But
then 'these grubs cannot be obtained with
out the risk of being stung, and it is no
Joke to have a dozen wasps’ stings driven
into you at once, as we have bad when
taking a wasps' nest, and the stinging
of a wasp is something like having a
sharp redhot needle driven into you, which
after it is done will keep redhot for hours.
We have had our eyes bunged up and
never seen a glimmer of daylight for a
dozen hours or more, through wasps
stinging us when storming their nests,
and yet have been the first to propose
storming another nest the week after,
for, like all boys, we had too much pluck
to care for a little pain, after the first
sharp twinges had passed away. We had
been told that wasps could not sting
through silk, so, covering our heads with
a silk handkerchief, we went boldly up
to the mouth of the nest, set the powder
on fire In the open day, and as to the silk
protecting us, why their stings went
through it quite easily. We ought to have
stormed the nest at night, when the
wasps were asleep; there is but little dan
ger then: but it was our half-holiday, and
it was resolved to go a fishing and to
have wasp grubs for bait, so we took
the nest at every risk, though not a boy
was able to go angling after, for we were
all stung dreadfully.
It was easy enough to thrust the gun
powder into the mouth of the nest, and
to set it alight, but as it was purposely
made Into a paste, to Increase the smoke
and burn the longer. It was necessary
to wait a second or two to see that the
wet portion of the powder caught, and
went hissing deep down Into the interior
of the nest. It claught beautifully, but
the wasps seemed to care no more for
the burning powder than a duck does for
a shower of rain. They came out with
a rush that was awful, and so suddenly
and strong that they forced down the
turf, which was placed hastily and im
properly over the hole. Though the boys
were armed with branches, with which
they knocked down the wasps, and killed
scores, yet hundreds more joined in the
attack, until we had to run for It, many
of us carrying the enemy with us in
our necks, in our bosoms, for to evade
the clash of the branches the wasps
alighted, picked out a nice soft place,
"and then gave us "pepper” too hot to be
endured.
Wasps' nests may be taken readily
enough If commenced properly, but brim
stone ought to be used along with the
gunpowder, as it suffocate* the wasps;
the brimstone and gunpowder damped,
but not too jnuch, ought to he thrust
Into the nest with a little dry ponder
outside to set fire to It; then a damp sod.
pressed firmly over the hole, and left to
smoulder until the following morning. It
is not safe to commence the "storming"
of the nest until late In the evening, when
the wasps are all snugly tucked up in the
nest. That is the time to make safe of
wasp grubs for angling, and June. July
and August even, are the months when
the nests are Ailed with this rich, white
bait.
We do not know what good wasps do.
though we are well aware that they do
much harm, and we sincerely believe that,
if their neats were not destroyed, they
would Increase so Immensely as to be
come dangerous. There are numerous In
stances on record of their stinging horses
and oxen to death In a very short time.
Only a summer ago a splendid Horae,
worth WOO. was stung to death by wasps
The grubs make the best bait we know
of for summer fishing, and perhaps wasps
were sent to supply us with this halt,
to capture fish to live upon, and that if
w* do not make this use of the grubs
they become wasps, and sting us for being
too idle to take them, and neglecting to
supplv ourselves with plenty of fish. This
is anew style of reasoning, but none tha
worse for that, perhaps.
EGYPTIAN MEN AND WOMEN.
What Can be Learned of Them From
Ancient Drawings.
From the London News.
In the face of men and women were
very much alike, but there is a subtle
charm about the female faces that is re
placed by a placid dignity in the male.
In both the features are delicate and of
a somewhat aquiline type, and the figures
are tall and slight. There is very little
Indication of muscle, but the men are
broad-shouldered and thln-flanked, while
the women, in spite of their stiff atti
tudes, are graceful and refined. In both
the forms are soft and rounded. The
resemblance between the men and the
women is, of course, increased by the
men being always clean-shaven.
In the paintings and bas-reliefs thera
are certain conventions which do not ap
ply to the statues, and for these due al
lowance has to be made.
In early times, all drawing and paint
ing on the flat (and bas-relief is but a
form of this) had to serve two purposes.
One was to convey information, the other
4o be ornamental. It is doubtful which
Is the earlier of the two. The man of
the stone age, when he scratched his re
alistic, mammoth on a piece of reindeer
bone, either wanted to convey to his
brother that he had seen a fine specimen
of this interesting animal, or else he dd
it because he thought It pretty, or he
may h.ave had both motives. In any
case, we have here the common origin of
art end writing.
The information picture dwindles down
through hniroglyptvics to mere symbols or
sounds, the pictorial origin of which i*
entirely lost. The decorative picture grad
ually loses all wish to convey Information,
and subsists entirely for its pleasure to
the eye. But the Egyptians had not got
so far as that; when they drew a man.
there had to be no mistake what it was.
He had all to be displayed, as it were,
to the best advantage. The legs were
shown sideways, so as to give the whole
length of the feet, and one leg was put
In front of the other, so that neiih®
should be conoeaied. Then there came
difficulty about the body; if that
sideways, too, one shoulder would be lo* •
so that the body must be seen frontways-
The arms, again, are best seen sideway .
fortunately, as both shoulders are show ,
they do not interfere with one anotn® •
Again, a profile is more characterls
than a full face, but a prolific eye is
poor, foreshortened thing.
So in this protile we insert an eye ® e
to its full extent, and then we really 'j
done the man Justice. This eye, seen ' '
face while the head is profile, gives na
orally a peculiar expression, which milK .
people talk of the long, narrow O'®*
the ancient Egyptians. They 'W, UK \”
had nothing of the kind. Then, aK ~ ,
twisting of the body makes the al.oul
seem too broad. The ideal Is certa n •
broad shouldered, tout not so much so
this would make It appear.
