NEWS FROM wAYCRoss.
Woman Is shot-Highwayma Makes
an Effort 20, Rob.

Waycross, Ga, Dec. 5.-Gussie Sears,
an inmate of one of the houses at
''Klondyke," in the Tenderloin district
in this city, was shot and seriously
wounded by some one unknown last
night. The woman claims that she
went out of the house about II O'Clock
when some one fired at her from the
darkness. One bullet struck the wo-
man in the left breast just above the
heart, and the other entered the left
side. There is. a mystery about the
affair which the police fail to under
stand. Two officers went out TO the
house this morning and found the wo-
man in bed suffering greatly from her
wounds. She at first denied that she
had been shot, but later admitted
that the shooting occurred.
While returning to his home from
Waycross last night. Mr. Alvin James
was held up by a negro highwayman.
The negro ordered Mr.. James to halt,
but the latter drew his revolver and
commenced firing at the man. The
first shot caused MIR. James horse to
run, and he was soon out of range.
Search was made for the negro last
night and this morning. but no trace
of him could be found.

Ladies' Guild of that church open

BRADSTREET'S REPORT.
Cold weather Finds IndustrIe,
Ready for IL.

Cold weather Finds Industries
Ready for Il.
New York, Dec. 5.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Seasonable winter weather. hitherto
conspicuously lacking. has come very
much in evidence this week, with the
result of expanding retail trade in
winter goods, rubbers and wearing APP
parel generally. Killing frosts have
about put a period to the marvellous
fall season of 1902, and in the South
the cotton crop may be said to be
made, so far as further growth is con-
cerned. All the usual seasonable
changes have about come to pass.
Dairy products and produce generally
are higher, lake navigation is about
over, iron ore shipments have ended,
atter the greatest movement on rec
ord, and the wheat crop has gone into
winter quarters with fair covering
OF snow in northern ATTITUDES, and
with a very generally satisfactory con-
dition ruling throughout much of the
admittedly very large acreage.
Hessian fly damage to some of the
early sown and too rank growth in
the southwest are the only complaints
heard ofs Threshing is about complet-
ed in the Northwest. and farmers dis
play more willingness to part with
their products. Cold weather from now
out is needed to insure the large move
ment of corn expected. as the result
OF active export and home demand.
The years approaching end finds
prices well up to the highest point in
eighteen months, though meats, an inn
portant element in food supplies, are
steadily declining on good receipts.
Next to the expectations, already part
~ realized. that an enormous holiday
business Will be- done. the most nota-
BILE feature is the practical unanimity
OF opinion that large spring trade is
in prospect. ground for this being fur
nished by the unprecedented volume of
such business already booked.
The feature in foreign trade is the
turn in the tide of corn exports, which
have at last begun to expand after fif-
teen months of scarcity. high prices
and .trifiing shipments. In wholesale
dry goods good spring trade acts as a
supporting feature for some lines. but
1t is noted that poor export business
has affected brown and bleached cot
tons, which can be had at easier quo
tations
