With Them to Island.
The all-day outing excursion of the
veterans to St. Simon today promises
to be quitfe a success and it is expected
that a good sized crowd will spend

It lias been so arranged that people
may go over on any of the boats, A
number of parties have been made up,
will,take baskets and spend the entire
day on the island.
The veterans are giving the excur
sion for the benefit of the organiza
tion and it is hoped that the old war
riors wil net quite a neat sum from
the occasion. Those who would spend
a pleasant, day, with a delightful sea
breeze, should go along.
The Hessie has put on a rate of
one fare. 25 cents, for the round trip,
good on the 8:30 anu 2 o’clock, boats.
Avery interesting program for the
day has been arrannged by the vets,

etc Dr. YV. B. Burroughs, who is
always found to lie working for the
organization, also has some old reliesi
in the way of muster rolls, etc-., which

WRITES RATHER
A SALTY CARD
Waite has Bad Words for
the City Editor of
Journal
“A COWARD AND A OUR”
Says He Has Been Treated Wrong by
Newspaper Man, Who is
Safely Guarded by a
Peace Warrant.
Editor News: l do not think the
newspaper is the proper place to air
one’s cares, at the same time when a
man is assailed by a member of the
press, who hides behind that screen,
then it seems no more than right that
he should be treated to a dose of his
own medicine.
Without treating the subject that
called for it, 1 found it necessary yes
terday afternoon to chastise the ex
cuse for a man. now acting in the
capacity of city editor of the Bruns
wick Journal.
He had gone out of his way to bring
my name into a matter that no decent
journal would give space and when I
called on him at his office, he did
not give me that satisfaction that
I should have had, and being protec
ted with the presence of a lady, I
advised him that, while I had called
to whip him, 1 would forego the teiu
tation as a lady was in the office.
Later in the day I met him in the
street and made good my threat and
I regret to say that some gentlemen
standing near, prevented me from ad
ministering to tlhe coward the thrash
ing that he merited. Today, resorting
to the remedy of a coward and a cur,
he has had a warrant sworn out
against me charging assault and bat
tery, he has also used the coward's
route, by placing me under a peace
warrant. However, in his sheet this
afternon he denounces me as having
assaulted him, and gives great prom
inence to the fact that he was whipped,
on the public streets. His conduct
in this instance is that of a man who
firsts ties the hands of his adversary
and then fights him. This coward
seems to want notoriety and I simply
wish to say to him that if he will
raise his peace warrant for only one
day, I will give Ihitni all of that article
that he wants.
In the meantime, 1 here and now
denounce him as a coward and a cur,
who disgracess the name of man. If
he does not like this I am at his dis
posal at any time and in any way he
may elect. Respectfully,
, WM, WAITE.

particular to a considerable extent
The crops have not been anything
like last year, and it might be said
that there was just half a crop of
peaches, and little more than hall
a crop of cantaloupes. The watermel
