MUCH POLITICS DISCUSSED.
Waycross Is All Agog with Excite
ment-Citizens Club Meets To-
night.

Waycross, Ga, Dec. 2.-Eocal politics
is the main topic of conversation in
Waycross. On every street corner al
most, groups of men are seen discuss
ing the approaching campaign. The
more conservative element had hoped
to effect a compromise by which a
spirited contest might be avoided. 1t
was hoped that some man would come
to the front who would harmonic the
opposing factions, but it seems that
such a thing is practically out of the
question.
The Citizens Club will hold pri-
mary to-moTow night at the opera
house, from Z to 10 O'clock,
for the purpose Of nominating
a mayor, five aldermen and members
of the Board of Education. Just who
will be selected as the standard bear
ers of the club cannot be told now.
Three names are being discussed prom
inently to-day, and it is pretty certain
one of them will receive the nomina-
ton. They are Hon. Lem Johnson.
state senator from the Fifth District;
Hon. Warren Lott, ordinary of Ware
county, and the present treasurer of
the city, and Hon. John w. Bennett,
solicitor general of the Brunswick cir
cult.
The total number of registered voters
is 513-355 whites and 1853 colored.
Miss Annie Green, daugh
ter of Mr.. E. P. Green. died this
morning, after a lingering sickness.
She was about 26 years of age, and
had been a dressmaker.
1t was reported here this afternoon
that Mrs. c. T. Beavers was dying.
but the rumor proved to be untrue.
She is quite low, however, and her
death will not be a surprise at any
time. Mrs. Beavers has been a severe
sufferer for long months with cancer.
The Methodist pastors in Waycross
are getting off to the conference in
Macon. Rev. j. MI Glenn, pastor of
Trinity left tonight, and Rev. T. NJ.
Christian will leave tomorrow. Both
preachers carry up good reports of
their years work. This is Mr.. Glenn's
fourth year here, and his pastorate at
Trinity expires by limitation. Rev. Mr..
Christian has completed his second
year at First Church. 1t is not known.
of course, what will be done in the
matter of appointment, but il is gener-
ally believed that Mr.. Christian will
not come back.
The Waycross Journal has about got
it's presses set up in it's new home in
the postoffice block. The paper will not
appear again until Friday.

Good, philosophical Ras Wilson once

other folks are just as good as you

TO HELP THE souTH's TRADE.
Objects of the Exposition Set Forth
and Its buildings Described.

Charleston, Dec. 1.-The principal OBJ
ject of the Exposition is to make a
fully representative display of the
manufacturing progress and CONNER
cial possibilities of the country, and
particularly of the Southern States A
commercial problem at this time con-
fronts the South and perhaps the SUI
preme purpose of the fair is to solve
it. The great advance in the number
of cotton mills constructed and the
output of finished products has cerated
a surplus of cotton goods. OF this
product China was at one time the
largest consumer outside of the home
markets. The recent disturbance in
that country, however, has virtually
paralyzed the markets and the home
surplus multiplies. The principal un-
developed markets in close touch with
the South are in the West Indies and
it is hoped through the medium of full
displays at the Exposition to establish
trade relations with that part of the
world.
The exposition site occupies about 100
acres of land on the bank of the Ash
ley river, with frontage of 1000 feet
on the river The architecture of the
buildings follows closely the styles
which were introduced at the Chicago
worlds fair.
There are eleven great department
buildings: The Cotton and Commerce
Palaces the Hall of Agriculture, Min
erals and Forestry buildings, and
structures devoted to woman, art, the
negro, transportation and machinery.
The administration building occupies
a commanding site. The Cotton Palace
covers $4,000 square feet of ground
area: the Commerce Palace contains
$4,000 square feet of floor space; the
Palace of Agriculture. the same area;

the way, this club is universally known
as the Rag among military men, on
account of the inferior nature OF its
catering arrangements in its earlier
days. These, however, are now OF the
best possible description. The number
of it's members is about 200. all o.
whom pay an entrance fee of 5000 and
an annual subscription of $50.
The Junior Army and Navy Club has
it's quarters in King street. The club
was founded in 1860 and has about p
900 members Their Royal Highnesses,
the Duke of Cornwall and York, the
Duke of Connaught and the Duke or
Cambridge, are honorary members.

ments of Foot Guards, the King was.

Club. 20 Pail Mall. This is an ex-
tremely exclusive institution, and In
tended solely for the benefit of past
and present officers of the brigade. 1t
can scarcely be said to be a very hospi-
table club, as one Of it's rules EXPRESS
ly forbids the introduction of strang-
ers on any pretext whatever. Estab-
lished in 1918, the club is the Oldest OF
it's kind in existence. Prince Edward
OF Sake Weimar is one of its trustees.
In close proximity to the park the
Cavalry Club, f22T7 Pieeatiiliy, has one
of the best situations imaginable. It's
membership-amou to l,20O-ls
confined to officers of the mounted
branches. His Majesty used to belong
TO this club. but resigned.
The United University Club, Suffolk
street, Pail Mall, was also one of the
Kings clubs. 1t was founded in 1879.
and it's present membership list con-
sists of 1000. OF these half must be
graduates Of the University of Oxford
and half of the University of Cam
bridge. 1t usually takes about ten
years to gain election.
The Marlborough, So Pail Mall, Is the
most exclusive club in the world. Its
membership is strictly limited to 800,
and 1t is sine qua non that every
one included therein should be per-
sonally known to the King. The club
was founded in 1853.
The famous theatrical CLUB known as
the Garrick, in King street. Covent
Garden. has the King for it's honorary
president. Conspicuous among the

moderate.

O'Clock this afternoon in the telegraph
room at the White House, President
Roosevelt touched the key of the in
strument, which was the signal that
the South Carolina Interstate and
West Indian Exposition at Charleston,
was formally open.
Among those present were Senators
McLaurin and Tillman and Represent
tative Elliott of the Charleston district;
Secretary Cortelyou, and a number of
newspaper correspondents. The other
members of the South Carolina delega-
ton were compelled to send their re-
grets as they were detained at the cap
itol. Immediately after the signal was
given the President received. the follow
ing message from President Wagner of
the exposition company

to illustrate the marvellous industrial

is their extension over the new world.
Then followed the exchange of greet
lngs between President Roosevelt and
Mr.. Wagner and the exposition, on
signal from the White House, was de-
clared open.
The fair, while not as large as other
eXpositions that have been given, is an
exhibition of much merit and is al
ready an artistic success.
The exposition is not in the state of
preparedness, however, which its pro-
1ectors had hoped for. There have
been delays which all similar enter
prises have encountered, but the chief
deterrent factor in the installation Of
exhibits was the scarcity of cars to
transport them here. Between 200 and
800 cars of exhibits are on the tracks
at the park, but they are rapidly be-
ing unloaded and put in place by an
army of men working twenty-four
hours a day.
