cONvIcTs OF WARE COUNTY.
The Question of working Them OF
the Public Rouds.

Waycross, Ca, Nov. 14.-Among the
questions that were considered by the
present grand jury are the working of the
convicts on the county public road: the
establishing of a city court for Waycross,
and, in minor way, the matter of a re-
commentator of some person for county
solicitor. The first two questions We're
decided adversely, and regarding the
county solicitorship no action was taken.
The most important of these questions is
the one regarding the working of the
county conVicts on the public roads 1t
was proposed that tax of "a per year be
imposed upon each man who is subject
to road duty for defraying the expenses
of the convicts. 1t was argued by some
that such an law would deprive many
farmers from doing duty on the public
roads against their will and require them
to pay out money for work that could
easily be done by them
The other side argued that the roads of
this county were in need of many improve
ments, and that the chain-gang service
would give the county frst-class roads.
The question, although defeated, win
have the effect, doubtless. to bring about
some badly needed Improvements i'm the
public road system of this county.
The roads can be put in better condition
under the present provisions of the road
law without assistance from the chain
gang, and no class of citizens will be more
benefited thereby than the farmers.

TURNER'S SEAT IN CONGRESS.
He and Solicitor BrantIey to BE in
the Next Race for 1t.

the Next Race for 1t.
Waycross, Ca, Nov 1.-THE political
situation in the Eleventh congressional
district has given the political gossips
something to talk about for several weeks,
and if the truth must be told, the gossips
have, as rule, been prophetic in their
SUI misses. They have mapped out the sit.
uation in about this way: Judge Turner
will not announce his candidacy nor viii
he become candidate for reelection un-
less his friends urge him to enter the
race. 1t is not likely that he will retire
from politics just yet, but he will be
found actively at work in the democratic
party for many more years, if he lives,
whether ne shall be a candidate for con-
gress or not. Judge Turner is strong in
this district and it will take more than
an ordinary statesman to defeat him
for congress.
Hon. w G. Brantley the able and pop
ular solicitor of the Brunswick judicial
circuit, will certainly be in the race Tor
congress in due course. and he will have
the support of Judge J. l.. Sweat and the
Brunswick circuit. The rumor OF some
time ago that Judge Sweat would become
a candidate for congress will not ma
terialize, as Judge Sweats intimate
friends aver that he will not antagonlze
Mr. Brantley. No other candidates will
figure prominently in the next campaign
for congress. Just who will win, it Is
too early to predict, as the campaign VIII
hardly open before next spring.
This much is certain. however the
personal popularity of the candidates viii
figure prominently in the campaign, as
both candidates are for the administra-
ton and sound money.
Mr.. Brantley is a lawyer of ability and
as an orator he has no superior in South
Georgia He is a native South Georgian,
and until he become of age, his home was
i'm Pierce county. His popularity IS great
err than that of any other public man in
the Brunswick circuit, and should he be-
come a candidate. he will make for
midable opponent for the grand old states
man from Brooks Judge Turner needs
no Introduction. He has been in congress
for over twelve years, and his record is
known throughout the state.

Dennison, Tex, Nov. IA dramatic
scene and the turning point in the. nego-
tiations of the Dawes commission took
place yesterday in the council chamber at

New York, Nov. 14.-The strike of the

An attempt was made yesterday to
break the deadlock at Seaich's stables in
East Thrty-second street, to which the
strike had been confined and the new

Many additional stables are now affect
