TO T1IE BUSINESSMEN.
We are in a position with the
co-operation of the business men
of Jesup, to greatly increase th<
size of the News and give the peo¬
ple a paper that will readily rani
with papers that are published in
towns many times the size of Jes
up. This is a business proposi¬
tion and should be considered
from a business standpoint ev¬
ery merchant in town. Of course
there are dead heads in every
tow n, because they arc so nunicr
ous that every community is bur¬
dened with a few. Leaving oul
the dead heads, we say to t he bus¬
iness men that are interested in
the welfare of themselves and the
prosperity of the town, that noth¬
ing would afford us more plp-wnrc
than to publish a newspaper that
would be a credit to this entire
sptvon. Several of the leading
business men have urged as to in¬
crease the size of the News and they
would advertise. Let us say that
we. are amply able to accomodate
all advertisers, without reducing
the size of this sheet.
THE VAGRANCY LAW.
A dispatch from Valdosta states
tliat the Vagrancy law is living
l idigly enforced there and that,
there has been an exodus of
the idlers to the cotton fields and
the miners deduce that crusade
lue. gone a long ways towards solv¬
ing what a few weeks ago promis
ed to be a serious problem.
VV ith such an excellent law we
do not seq why the idlers that get
* Loir living from the laboring
class should he allowed to loiter
and lout about the streets or any
where else.
Idleness promote lawlessness,
not only that to permit, this law
hi be ignored is an imposition Up
on the law-abiding citizens and
the man.

i FALL term
Of The Jesup Public Schools.
The Pall term of the Jesup Pub¬
lic School begins Monday Sept.
19th and a large attendance is an¬
ticipated. We see no reason why
there should be one of the largest
attendances in the history of the
school, as every convenience and
accommodation has been made
that possibly could for the welfare
of the pupils and the Board has
put forward every effort for the
accommodation, especially of out
of town pupils, There is no bet¬
ter educational advantages offered
than in Jesup.
It is a conclusive fact that there
is nothing that prepares the young
man or young woman for the res¬
ponsibilities of life than
And it is the parents duty to send
the child to school if they arc
able. The small tuition fee
charged by the Jesup school is
such that any one can become a
pupil.
The Jesup schools are not only
educators but developers.
the very best teachers that could
have been procured, and the very
best instructions for the teachers
there is no excuse why you should
keep your children aw ay on any
account.
in reading ovef the. school cata¬
logue vve noticed a on . ..d. ...
ing society which we believe a
very essential feature fof .level
opement, this ,i not , only i relieves i
to & mind from a monotonous pur

'its young men better for a public
life.
Following is pfti't, of the pream¬
ble of the catalogue:
“This is the era of progress,
Tho.se who for years have regard
■d South Georgia as an unhealth
ful and barren section, now view
it with wonder and admiration.
Its forests of pi tie; which have
made millions for citizens, have
yielded to to the saw. and in their
s(e id have sprung up numerous
toi i ns and cities surrounded by
we ll-drained'and highly product

Wayne county, so called after
th i* hero of Stony Point; is a gar
• Ii n spot of about tiUO square miles !
T' he Altamaha on on the north and 1
tl ie Satilla on the. south, teeming
\ vith fish, drain the county, thus
i asuring an absence of malaria;
-vhilc the cool Atlantic breezes,
with the and
health-giving atmosphere of pine
't ests, give a pleasant climate for
all seasons. Statistics show a ve¬
ry low death-rate from such dis
eases as small i»ox. measles, sear
let and typhoid fdvers, and other
ailments common to many sections.
T’he county is traversed b.i live
railways: the Atlantic Coast Line,
the Southern, the Brunswick and
Birmingham, the Brunswick and
We tern, and the Jesup and
Folkston. These avenues of com¬
merce, a fertile soil and a good
climate have given an increase of
more than thirty per cent in |>op
ulation in ten years. A twenty
!he-thousand-dollur Court bouse,
recently erected, is a handsome, ed

It is located on the water-shed
between the Altamaha anti Satilla
rivers, fifty-six miles from Savan¬
nah and forty miles from Brun¬
swick. Its railroad facilities are
unexcelled, the Atlantic Coast
Line and the Sonthern passing
through the cityf and also a branch
line to Folkston, connecting with
Jacksonville. During the winter,
as many as thirty-six passenger
trains and numerous freights pass
through the city within twenty
four hours. Jesup has a popula¬

1 The man who is idle or who is
working on half time when he has
a chance, and who has to pay high¬
er prices than ever before for
what he eats, cannot be fooled by
any academic argument about the
value of the high tariff or by any
assurance that he is prosperous.
He knoms perfectly well that he
is not well off, and orators cannot
convince him to the contrary
against the weight of bis own ex
perience.

There are something like 325
Congressional districts which are
put down as safe to one party or
the other in November, Phi
leave a large residue of doubtful
members, some in every large
northern state. In Wisconsin the
single Democratic Congressman is
likely to be a good deal less lone¬
some after November. Five of
the ten Republican members are
fighting desperately to retain their
seats, hi West Virginia the Re¬
will have to
hard for four out of five of the
districts which they now control.
In Indiana Democrats hope to
carry three districts, and in Ohio,
four. In Pennsylvania they
putting up a vigorous fight and
expect to carry five districts now
held by Republicans.

in the Cabinet. There are three
or four men who make a few re¬
marks on occasions when they are
cornered, but there is not a single
man among them who is what Wat¬

Roosevelt keeps a poet, but allows
no rival orator near the throne.
