A Few Months stay in the Em bryo City of Waycross Leaving Blackshear in the early part of 1871 1 became a partner with C. It. Pendleton in the publi cation of the “Times” at Valdosta. The partnership lasted two years. In 1870 I began the study of law and was admitted to the practice in May, 1877, in Lowndes superior court. Began the prac tice at Valdosta; found that there was plenty of room at the top, but I didn’t have the means to tide me over until 1 could climb to the top. I had spent all 1 had and could earn preparing myself for admission. I became discouraged for once in my life and. after a legal career of eighteen months, 1 was easily per suaded to join a partnership in the newspaper business at Quit man as associate editor of the "Reporter,” ow ned by Joseph Till man. In October, 1880, Mr. Tillman persuaded myself and younger brother, W. A. Allen, to move the plant to Waycross and join him in the publication of the “Waycross Reporter.” The move was a very unfavorable one and W. A. Allen at the end of the year severed his connection with the business, and myself and a young man by the name of But ler Jones undertook the job of is suing the paper. 1 remained about two or more months longer. Waycross, although it had cap tured the county scat of Ware county from Warosboro, was a most insiguificient place. The Savannah railroad maintained its station at “Tebeauville,” or “Old Nine,” but would let passengers off at Waycross. Of course it had to stop before crossing the Brunswick railroad’s track. The Biunswick railroad maintained its station at the crossing. It was a most crude affair, built out of rough lumber and mounted on high stilt-like pillars. A young man by the name of J. D. DcLoach was agent, of the Savannah road and another young man by the name of V. L. Stanton was agent of the Bruns wick road, and he was not very proud of his quarters. It was told whether as a joke 1 know not, that a train from Brunswick jump ed the track and knocked Stan ton’s chicken, coop off the pillars into the depths below, 'There were two hotels. The King House, was kept by a Mr. King who carne from St. Marys. It was also built of rough lumber and located about a hundred feet south-east of the crossing, Tho Satilia House was located north east of the crossing. It was a splendid wooden building and kept by two maiden ladies —the Misses Shine. The only church building was Methodist, built by Dr. Daniel Lott out of wood and was located on tbe site of the present Trinity Methodist church. The school house was also a small affair, just about large enough to accommodate fifty pupils,-and the school was taught by Prof. C. J. Jenkins. It was built by Dr. Lott. He bad also erected a county court house of wood on the site of the present building. It was a two story structure and very well arranged for a court house. All the buildings in the place were rough, the 1 Reporter” was located on the second floor of a storehouse owned by Mr. James Knox, and unceiled. It was an uncomfortable and unfit place for a printing office, especially during the extreme cold winter that had passed. The half dozen stores were dingy wooden structures and not very inviting. But there was a promise of better things in the fu ture. (To be continued) Negro Pays High Tribute To Southern White Man. Sure its right to love everything American and worship nothing above Old Glory save your Creator. To take a little retrospective view of the past and present achieve ments of the southern white man at this time should not be out of place. He has made a sure footed climb for the past fifty years, and today ho stands master of the world. At every history making stage of the American civilization the men of the South have been foremost and when considered from, the political standing of fifty years' ago, the Southern white man’s climb lias been wonderful. In the South the truest democracy on earth is to be found. The democ racy of effort. None can be too humble to aspire to the highest honors, none too poor to hope for wealth, in no other land can be found a more conscientious, self sacrificing or God fearing people. While Pres. Wilson represents the whole American people and is striving to do something which will make him tho greatest benefactor that the world lias produced in a century. He is really a true son of the South and rellects more the will, determination, integrity and distinctiveness of the true South ern white man than he does of any other people in America. He is, indeed, a true Southern white man both as to tradition and practice. In him is proven conclusively that the Southern while man has become the yard stick by which tho world’s civilization is measured. It mat ters not what the standard has been or what the ideals and traditions are of the Sou 1 h have been, the drift for llie past fifty years has been toward the Southern oliamol or. Not only is Hie Southern white man the most distinctive but is likewise the most individual character in the national life of America. It does not matter in what pari of the habitable globe he settles lie never surrenders his views, be does not yield to his en vironments but his environments disappears. It does not matter whether they are social, political or industrial. He does not shape his views to suit the passing breeze, of public sentiments; but compels the breeze t o fly bis sails according to his nation’s current question. Fifty years ago in politics he was hopelessly in the minority, in the national equation he was absolutely without power or even the hope of ultimate victory. But, to-day, he is triumphant, he is in control and the National life has come to liis way of thinking and is the creature of the Ron them white man’s wish. Every race and people the world over have had to yield to the pow ers end leadership of the Southern white man and to day the world acknowledges that he is master. American civilization is today what lie has made it, because of liis in tegrity and racial indentity. There is much more to be conmended in the make up of him (ban there is for condemnation, He certainly is to be admired for his prowess, liis positiveness and his individuality. He stands upon his own bottom; he grants no quatter and he asks no favor. He fights his way from the bottom to the top and no defeat is is too groat or disastrous for him to turn into a victory. The Southern white man and his womanhood represents a standard of excellence which is worthy of emulation by the world. It has reached and stands at the acme of the world’s civilization and no race of people can do better than to pattern his ideals and standards. FOR SALE.

To enlarge these tests and to ob tain as much data as possible this season, it has been decided to dis tribute small lots of wilt resistant seed to people who have trouble in growing tomatoes because of wilt. It is expected that each person who receives such seed will plant them according to the following direction^: Plant the wilt resistant variety, and on the same day plant at least one commercial variety that is to be used as a standard of compari son. Give them all uniform con ditions of light, heat, water, space, and fertility, so that the plants will obtain an equal start and re main the same size until trans planted. When the weather is favorable, set plants of flic wilt resistant variety, and the commercial variety, side by side in wilt infest ed soil. Set all tlie plants on tho same day, and keep them separat - ed, yet close enough together to obtain similar conditions of growth. If plants of the commercial variety, or the wilt resistant varie ty begin to wilt, after being set in tho wilt infested soil, dig up a few plants and send them to the Plant Pathologist, Georgia Expersment Station, Experiment, Georgia, for identification of the disease. Frank tags for free shipment of such specimens will be sent out with each lot of seed. Towards the end of the season send to the Georgia Experiment Station a report as follows: Name of commercial variety planted in comparison with the wilt resistant variety. Date of planting seed. Date of setting the plants in tho field. Was the land infested with tho wilt fungous? Did auy plants of the commer cial variety die? How did the wilt resistant variety compare with the commer cial variety as regards yield of fruit? Those who wish to eo operate in these wilt resistant tomato tests should write to the Plant Patho logist, Georgia Experiment Station, who will furnish seed as long as the limited supply lasts.
