WAYCROSS NEWS NOTES..
Camp Meetings to Be Held at Gaskin
Springs and bonneville.

Springs and bonneville.
Waycross, Ga, July 31.-The Gus
toso Cigar Factory is being moved to-
day from the Opera House to the sec
ond story of the w. ]. Smith building
on lower Plant avenue. This will give
the company more and better room,
and will enable them to push their
work.
To the surprise of his many friends,
Mr.. w. w. Reynolds of Waresboro,
went to Triton on the early train Sun
day morning, and brought home as his
bride, Miss Pooler of that place They
were married Sunday afternoon at 6
o'clock, and returned to Waresboro at
once. The brides father is in the saw
mill business near Triton, and the
groom is an employe of the Plant
System a. Waresboro.
Prof. w. A. Berry, has rendered his
resignation as principal of the Ware
Institute at Waresboro. Mr.. Berry
has conducted the school successfully
for number of years. Mr.. Berry's
successor has not been selected as yet.
Mr.. William Conner. pressman in
the Coming Nation office at Ruskin,
is suffering a great deal of pain as the
d
His hand was caught in the press, and
his fingers were severely crushed be-
fore he could extricate them.
Mr.. VIII Bailey, young machinist in
the Plant System shops was placed
in the hospital at this place on account
of painful accident. In some way his
arm got caught under lever and was
broken at the elbow Mr.. Bailey is
from Chattanooga, Tenn.
matchmaker for the Waycross Jewelry
Company, and is succeeded by ]. H.
Hale of Atlanta. Mr.. deGontard will

The Campmeeting Season.
There are two camp grounds located
within the bounds of the Waycross dis
trict. one in the beautiful grove at
Gaskin Springs. in Coffee county. and
the other in the town of Homerville
Presiding Elder ]. w. Weston has the
arrangement of these meetings in hand.
The annual camp meeting at Gaskin
Springs will begin Thursday night,
Aug. %, and will continue probably
eight or ten days. This is one of the
most attractive places for a meeting
in South Georgia. The Tabernacle,
which is a very large and commodious
dndlls lS vi Tie SlODt VI the Hill just
a short distance from the famous
spring. 1t will seat $500 or 1000 peo-
pie comfortably. Some have already
built cottages on the grounds and 9th
ers VIII probably do so. Six acres
of land has been donat-
ed to the Tabernacle association.
Embracing the fifth Sunday in Sep
tember the annual campmeeting at
bonneville will take place, unless there
is some change in the present plans.
A spacious tabernacle was built there
many years ago. largely through the
influence of Mr.. r. B. Reppard of Sa-
vannah. 1t was intended primarily for
rallying point for the Sunday schools
of South Georgia, but of late years only
annual campmeetings have been held
in the building. There are no tents or
cottages on the grounds at bonneville,
and the crowd that attends the meet
ings are cared for by the people of the
town. those who are in position to do.

in the week commencing Sept. 8. The
resolution will provide that the sum of
500, 900 will be used for the erection of
a public school building, and the sum
of $1,000 for the improvement of the
water plant. On March IL, last, the
city voted bonds for the purposes
named above but the Supreme Court
held that the election was illegal as the
call for the election did not specify
how much money would be used for
each purpose.
1t is highly probable that Judge Ira
S. Chapple will be a candidate for
judge to succeed Judge John c. Hart
of the Ocmulgee circuit. Judge Camp
bell was judge of the City Court of
Laurens county for four years, and
made a good official. Very few of his
decisions were reversed by the higher
courts. James B. Sanders, Esq, and j.
e Burch, Esq, of Dublin. are spoken
of for solicitor general of the circuit
though it is not known that either will
become a candidate for the office. A
number of years ago the late Capt. r.
A. Stanley of this city was solicitor
general of the Oconee circuit, and not
since that time has one of Laurens'
sons been honored in this respect, al
though some of the best lawyers in the
state practice here.
AHG new STEAMER gypsy OF the fOreSI
and Stream Club was launched yester-
day. The steamer draws only six inches
of water and will draw only four
inches more when the machinery and
cabins are put in place, making it one
of the lightest draught boats on the
river. The boat is 20 by 100 feet.
1t is probable that the Supreme Court
will be called upon to decide whether
or not guano in the hands of the far
mer for use is taxable. Judge Hart has
decided that it is but the committee
of farmers that brought the matter to
the attention of the court is not salts
fed, and will meet Saturday to decide
whether or not to have the Supreme
Court to pass on the matter. 1t is high
ly probable that the matter will not
be allowed to rest where Ii is

who is in a row with Admiral Crown
inshield on account of some forgotten
incident in the Navy Department Mr..
Hackett is as jealous of the dignity of
his office as a newly elected city coun-
cillor When he was away short time
ago, Admiral Crowninshield, who be-
came acting secretary. had an idea he
was entitled to ride in one of the car
riages the government furnishes the
assistant Secretary OF the Navy. Mr..
Hackett's coachman advised his en-
ployer of the Admiral's presumption
Quick as the wires could carry it came
this answer from the dignity-laden
Hackett: Let no one use my carriage
except Willis"
Willis is a young hopeful in the
Hackett family. Willis, therefore, rode
in the government carriage wherever
and whenever he likd. And yet this
government is a pretty good one even
in times when it is one of assistant
secretaries and chief clerks. That is
probably because no one takes the tenn
porarily important personages one
tenth as seriously as they regard
themselves.

COULDN'T RENT STORE.
Negro Merchant in Washington Not
Permitted Choice Building

Permitted Choice Building.
Washington. Ca, July 31.-There was
considerable excitement among the
business men of Washington yesterday
when it became known that one of the
largest and most desirable stores in the
city had been rented to Toombs Nc
Tendon, a well-to-do negro. Near
ly all the merchants of the city called
on Mr.. Branch, the proprietor. and in
formed him that for the negro to oc-
cupy one of the most desirable stores
in the business center of the city would
be very Objectionable and such a thing
would not be tolerated. Mr.. Branch
acceded to the wishes of the merchants
and said he would release McLendon
from the contract.
The negro was then informed that he
would find II much pleasanter to re-
main where he was and not try to push
himself into places where the white
people belong.
This is the second attempt made by
McLendon to place himself on business
equality with the white merchants of
the city, and he will doubtless keep
quiet now as feeling is very strong
against him. McLendon has been very
prosperous for a negro, and until a few
years ago was highly thought of. He
will have to learn sooner or later to
keen within the sphere allotted to his
race or trouble will ensue. The ne
groes of Washington as a whole, show
no desire to push themselves into for
hidden places. The affair is the sem
satlon OF the town and much excite
ment has been stirred up.
The crop outlook in this county is
brighter than il has been at any time
this season. Until a week ago in many
sections of the county cotton and grain
had suffered badly from the unbroken
drought and the prospect was very

Dublin Matters.

Dublin. Ca, July S1.-George Ii.
Crafts & Co, of Atlanta, will get the
contract to build the extension to the
Oconee river bridge. Yesterday the
County Commissioners opened bids for
the work and found that this firm was
the lowest by several hundred dollars.
The bridge extension must be of steel
and is to be LOO feet in length. The
contract will be let next Tuesday.
Next Tuesday night the City Coun-
ell will pass a resolution calling for
bond election for the purpose of erect
ing a public school building and i'm.

probably be called for one of the days

Atlanta, July S1.-Gov. Gambler to-
day refused clemency in the case of
George Mitchell, of Savannah, senten-
ced to hang on Friday for criminal as
sault on two negro women. The par
don declined to recommend commu-

decision. This removes the last vestige
of hope for Mitchell

Atlanta, July 31.-The protracted
drought in this section was broken by
copious rain this afternoon which is
believed to be general. A heavy rain
likewise fell in the city yesterday, but
did not extend into the farming dis
tricts as did that of to-day. Crops will
be vastly benefited thereby.

gloomy. Copious showers have fallen
within the last few days and the condi-
ton of the crop has been improved
seventy-five per cent. Farmers are
greatly encouraged and if the remain
der of the season is favorable a large
yield will be made. In some districts
rain is badly needed and the outlook
is not so encouraging.
