We have no unkind feeling toward him or
his family, and ask from the public and our
kind friends the same liberal feelings and

THE FITZGERALD COLONY.
The COIOnists Now Number Three
Thousand.

Waycross. Ca, Dec. 1.-THE Triton and
Northeastern railroad is being surveyed
to Fitzgerald, and will reach that place
Saturday. Mr.. Arthur Pew is the chief
engineer of the surveying corps. The
management of the Fitzgerald colony and
the colonists are delighted at the pros
pect of the early completion of the road
to Fitzgerald, and when the Abbeville
and Waycross railroad shall be completed
the colony will be able to make connec-
lions that will be most favorable to bust
ness and commerce.
More than 1000 colonists have arrived at
Fitzgerald during the past ten DAYS, and
the arrivals daily number from 100 to 200
The number of colonists has now reached
the 5000 mark.
The scheme that was suggested bv ex-
Gov. Northen for colony day at the
exposition has been abandoned because
the railway facilities are so very unsatis-
factory.
1t is thought that President Fitzgerald
will arrive about the 18th of the month,
and then II is hoped that the railroad
matters will be pushed vigorously.
The primitive colonists, or those WIN
first arrived, are hardly better off in the
way Of permanent homes than those who
arrived later, as no improvements could
be made on property until the allotments
were made.

Thursday night Detective Berry Of the
city police department, and Mr.. Lester,
who looks after the old Herald plant for
MT, Hurt. concealed themselves in the
building for the purpose of catching the
thieves. The two men had scarcely en-
tered the place when a negro with a big
sack came in and began to fill the sack
with type. Berry and Lester both started
for the negro and the three grappled.
All three rolled from the top of the steps
to the bottom floor and there the negro
was badly used up. Lester used a wagon
spoke, knocking one of the negroes eyes
out, while Berry's billy was brought with
all the strength he could command on
top of the negro's head. Nevertheless,
the negro made his escape. The thieves
have carried off three of four thousand
dollars, worth of Mr., Hurts newspaper
plant. The detectives think that the crowd
has secreted all the type and other things.

a complete one-sided affair. Not until

of the seventh round did Roy appear the

Roy retired to his corner and began to

He then began TO regain consciousness
