ing gambling in Waycross is a SANDER
After reading the statement, Sheriff
Miller said in substance:
Twenty white men, charged with
gambling, were summoned before the last
grand jury and they only escaped con-
viction, in my opinion. by discounting
their oath. / have known for a long time
that gambling in the rooms at the hotels

is behind closed doors. 1 notice, too

he lost heavily at cards, and 1t was sew

in this city, and it should be enforced.
Postmaster Mcneil also corroborated
the special by citing one or more in
stances where gambling had caused bills
to be neglected at the stores, and he
said that my expose of the evil was
good thing for Waycross.

Prosperous Times Turning the Peo-
pie Away From the Silver Craze.
Hazlehurst, Ca. Aug. 2S.-The merchants
here are getting in their fall stocks of
goods. and they expect to do a paying
business this season. The farmers are
more than cheerful. They have made a
bountiful crop of corn, and they are hope
ful Of getting a fair price for their cotton.
In fact the future prospects are SO encour-
aging that the silver question has been
relegated to the rear. Some of the local
statesmen who have been condemning Mr..
Cleveland. and preaching free silver are
finding out how little they knew of that
question. Free silver advocates and pop
ulism are rapidly vanishing. 1t seems that
the people have turned their backs upon
the panic of 1898 and its records. and are
now looking the prosperous future in the
face.
Mr. Ed Burdette, one OF the most COM
petent mill men in the south, has been
appointed general manager of the large
saw mill here. The mills are perhaps the
largest and best equipped in the state.
They give employment TO over 175 hands.
They saw daily 5000 feet of lumber. and

correspondent through the various de-
partments of this immense industry.
The mills have all the latest and most
improved labor saving machinery. The
logs are turned by what Mr.. Claud desig-
mates as steam negroes, and he says
they are always there, and, unlike the
average negro, they never wish to attend
picnics or festivals. The company has a
railroad completed sixteen miles out in
Coffee county, and they completed the
survey of the Waycross Air Line from
Waycross to connect with this road last
week. The connecting link will be nm
ished as soon as possible. 1t will be
short line from Hazelhurst to Waycross
being forty miles shorter than the pres

This road will open up fine section of
