It is not I>ut a very few days before the books will finally close and those who have neglec¬ ted to make their returns before the books close, will be placed in default The -regular tithe when the books were to have closed, was June 30, but owing to the exces¬ sive rains, and the fact that the farmers have been set back in their work, the time limit for re¬ turning taxes has been extended a few days longer. Saturday was a busy day for Tax-Collector Steele. It was gen¬ erally known that the books would close on that day, and although it rained, Mr. Steele was kept quite busy until late in the even¬ ing.

The funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 4. o'clock at Ij0tt Cemetery and were con ducted by Rev. W. LI. Scfuggs. Mr. Walker had not lived here lor.g. having moved to this place some ago from Jesup. He leaves a wife and several chil dren.—'Waycross Journal. A. P. ROONY HIT BY TRAIN. A. lb Koon.v, flagman for the Southern, was struck near Doctor town by an engine and is perhaps fatally injured. Boon: started to walk to Doc tor town Tuesday ev¬ ening to attend to some business, and on his return to Jesup, so the News is informed, fell asleep upon the railroad track while resting. He was found soon after being hit. in an unconscious condition and was sent to a hospital in Sav¬ annah. W. T. MOBLEY WHO LIVED HERE, INJURED IN R. R. WRECK Information has reached Jesup to the effect that W. T. Mobley, a former Jesup boy, who has been a resident of Atlanta since his re¬ moval from Jesup several years ago, was among the list of injured in a railroad wreck near Atlanta last Tuesday It is not thouhgt that he will recover. NEW BUILD1NCJS ARE BEING ERECTED AT ODUM. The News is informed that a a number of dwelling houses, lie sides a large hotel are in the course of erection at Odum, also that a number of dwelling houses have recently been repainted and the town is beginning to present a handsome appearance. Our in¬ formant concludes that Odum has already put on city airs. A PUBLIC ANNOYANCE. Without special reference to the reports sounding like op¬ tioning armies had met, said to have been railroad torpedoes, us¬ ually occuring at late hours of the night, it is plainly evident that the town law in reference to the firing off' of firearms within the incorporate limits, is being violated. We do not believe that the per¬ petrators of this annoyance real¬ ize that it is a dangerous pastime and if unchecked now might have a serious termination. Last Sunday evening service at one of the churches was disturbed by three sharps reports, presum ably from a pistol in the very heart of town. Jesup real estate, while advancing in price all the time, there is quite a lot yet that can lie bought at reasonable prices— property for Iioth resident anil business houses— projierty that a few years hence will experience a greater advance in value than of any previous time of the same du ation. The writer, in conversation with a pioneer of Wayne county a few days ago, was told that land could he bought in almost any section of the county from 25c to $1.00 tier acre fifteen years ago. Judging the future from the past by a comparison of these figures, a problem of no small im¬ portance will face the next gener¬ ation, or perhaps sooner. Notice of Withdrawal.

Brantley, tly renominated by the ic Executive Committee of Eleventh Congressional as member of Congress from the district, has just accepted the ination in a letter to chairman John C. McDonald, of and to other members of the fication committee. Mr. Brant¬ ley's letter of acceptance, as well as the letter notifying him of his election, are as follows: Waycross, Ga., July 6. 11)06. “Hon W. (*. Brantley, Washington, D. C. “Dear Sir: We were appoint¬ ed a committee by the Democrat¬ ic Congressional Convention, which assembled here today to no¬ tify you of your nomination by this convention by acclamation to represent this district in the Six¬ tieth Congress of the United States, and we beg to ask that you notify us of your acceptance of the same. This convention also passed resolutions indorsing your course in Congress, and we herewith hand you copy thereof. “With assurance of highest re¬ gard and best wishes, we are, “John c. McDonald, "C. C. TINDALL. “W. S. WEST, “L. W. BRANCH, “ P. 11. COMAS. “Committee.” “Resolved: That this conven¬ tion points with pride to the re¬ cord made by lion. \Y. G. Bran¬ tley as a member of Congress from this district, and we most heartily indorse the same. We also desire to state that we feel that we have in him, not only a very able representative in point of ability, but one who measures up in the true manhood and states¬ manship with the ablest and best in th(> halls of Congress.” Congressman Brantley’s letter of acceptance was as follows: “Washington, D. C. June, 30, 1006. “Messrs. John C. McDonald, C. C. Tindall, VY. S. West. L. W. Branch, P. II. Comas, Committee. AY ay cross, Ga. “My Dear Srt.-r Your - cour¬ teous letter advising me that the Democratic party of the Eleventh Congressional district assembled of Georgia, in convention at Way cross on 6th instant, hail nominated me by acclamation to represen sail! district in the Sixtieth Congress, has beertduly received, as likewise has the copy of resolution adop¬ ted by said convention endorsing my course in Congress, and which resolution you were kind enough to enclose in your letter. “1 return to you and through you to the Democratic party of our district, my profound ac¬ knowledgement of both gratitude and obligation for the continued trust and confidence reposed in me, and pledge anew my best ef¬ forts to faithfully and well per¬ form tho duties of the high office to which 1 am called. Jt is a great honor to he a member of the American Congress, but a greater boner to lie deemed worthy to lie such member. For these hon¬ ors so freely and generously be¬ stowed upon me by the people of our district J owe a debt of grati¬ tude and appreciation that a life time of devoted service could scarcely requite. “Not the least of my pleasures in trying to serve our people has grown out of the fact that my ser¬ vices has been in the Democratic Partly, and not the least of my pleasures in accepting,the nomi¬ nation now tendered me, is the fact that it is a Democratic Party and not the least of my pleasures in accepting the nomination now tendered me, is the fact that it is a Democratic nomination, We shouldeyer be on our guard to preserve the traditsons and ideals of the great party to which we be¬ long. Born almost with the birth of the Republic^ its principles are those upon which the Republic was founded, and the preservation of these principles is necessary to the maintenance of the Republic. We can but view with alarm the ever increasing attacts upon our dual system of government, the growing centralization of power in Washington and the disregard of State lines; the disregard of the fundamental principle that our three great departments of Gov¬ ernment, the Executive, Legisla¬ tive and Judicial are each inde¬ pendent and each th« equal of the other; the ever growing arro of those who by favor of the government under unequal and unjust tariff laws are even in¬ creasing in wealth and power; the of imperialistic ideas in the government of our foreign de pendencies and in the wasteful ex penditure of public moneys; and old district GOOD ENOUGH A bill is now before the legisla¬ ture to re-arrange the senatorial districts of the State. The bill provides that the coun¬ ties of Wayne, Pierce, Camden and Glynn shall compose the third senatorial district, instead of the counties of Wayne Appling and Pierce, as now exists. We are opposed to any such ar¬ rangement of our district and hope that our representatives will se*. that it does not pass, as to our dis¬ trict. , It is also provided that tin' fe¬ tation system, in reference to electing the senators will be aboL ished and the entire district com posped of these counties vote one county. The tight was made' l>y Glynn county, in dividing the Brunswick circuit, that the.f would hear to no proposition that did not tlmow Glynn and Camden together and this was coneeedetl to them. Now comes a move to change the senatorial distract, cut out Appling and throw Glynn and Camden together and place them in our Senatorial District, instead. It looks to us not so much for the district as for political purpo* ses, especially in view of the fact that the rotation system of elect¬ ing the senators is sought to be abolished. In the election of a senator would Glynn and Camden always stand together, and always elect the Senator ( The old district is good enough for us. FIRST ELBERTAS.
