CAUSE OF THE HoLD-UPs.
A Citizen Who Attributes Them to
Gambling.

Gambling.
Editor Morning News: Will you
kindly publish this communication as
the views of private citizen in regard
to the various and ever-increasing rob-
berries, burglaries and murders that
our city is afflicted with?
In the first place think that one
of the primary causes is the gambling
which is permitted here in all its vari-
Gus forms, from the dirty policy in the
lane, to keno, roulette, poker and faro
bank in brick buildings in our most
public streets. At present there are
seven policy wheels turned here twice
a day, and each wheel works about
twenty negroes as writers, making a
total of 140 writers of policy tickets,
not mentioning the white men connect
ed with this form of gambling. In GER
tain sections of the city negro gam
bling houses are as common as corner
groceries. With the keno place now be-
ing conducted, and other well-known
gambling places which 1 will not men,
ton, 1t is safe to say that there are
$50 men that do nothing but gamble.
Where the law is openly violated, as
to gambling, it encourages others of a
vicious nature to violate the law. The
influence is bad upon the community,
and should not be tolerated.
Such large number Of gamblers as
are here is a curse to any community
Gamblers are not allowed to practice
their games to the extent that they do
here in any other city in Georgia.
Until the law Is enforced upon all VI
olators alike, and without special privi-
leges to any one. so long will crime
continue In our community. Citizen.

Report of Tax Collector Lanier
Makes Good Showing.
Waycross, Ga, April 19.-The County
Commissioners of Ware county have
received a report from Tax Collector
H. M. Lanier, and have carefully aud
tied his account with the state and
county. The report is full of interest
to our people. 1t shows a total of
taxes on digest collected $14,59390, tax
collected not on digest, $2S095; taxes
collected from the Savannah, Florida
and Western and the Brunswick and
Western Railroads, $3,390.S4; taxes col
lected from the Waycross Air Line
Company, $S5S.95, making a total of
1S,624.64. From this there is a credit
of $241.S5, insolvent list, 1886; errors,
S127SS; defaulters released, $440.S2 col
lector's commissions on $1S,221.75; by
amount paid treasurer, $7,45691; bal
ance due, S32392. The report indicates
a smaller amount on the insolvent list
than for many years past, revealing
the fact that officers have done some
very close work in collecting the taxes.
In 1892 the tax books showed a total
of $16,717. The amount paid in taxes
by the railroads was 1882. SO, as against
a total of $S,749.79 this year.
Nearly all of the grocery houces of
Waycross agree to close their place of
business after this week at o'clock

State Fair to BE Under Manage

Valdosta, Ga, April 19.-The mana
gers of the next State Fair announce
that the women's department of the
Fair will be under the management of
the Federation of Women's Clubs of
Georgia, with Mrs. A. o. Granger as
chairman. Mrs. Granger will be as
sisted by committee from every section
of the state, and the women expect to
make their department more attractive
than ever before. President Crawford
of the Valdosta Fair Association, has
had a consultation with the executive
committee of the State Federation, and
the ladies composing that committee
are enthusiastic over the plan of put
ting the women's department under
their care. There will be a local conn
mittee of ladies to look after the local
arrangements, so the interest in that
department will be more widespread
than ever before. 1t is believed that the
exhibit will be the best the women
have ever made at a fair in the state.
Mr.. A. T. Moore, the manager of the
Fair, has been desperately Ill for a
week or more and is still in an uncon-
scious condition, though he is a little
better than he was yesterday. He was

rushing into print, the opportunity to
correct an error on the part of the es-
teemed Col Sidney Herbert must not
be lost. In last Sundays issue of the
Morning News he writes There were
no Confederate regulars" Just here
is where our adopted censor and his
torian jumped the track. There were
Confederate States regulars, while only
a handful, enough to bear out my
statement.
June g. 1861, two companies of dis
mounted dragons (South Carolina
regulars), Capt. T. S. Fassoux and
Capt. S. D. Shannon, were mustered
into the Confederate service at Charles
ton, and the battalion was rounded out
by the addition of two companies of
Confederate States regulars, enlisted
for three years in Baltimore, Capt S.
D. Lee and Capt. F. L. Childs. In
consequence of an abundance of vol
unteer cavalry, the Secretary of War
refused to mount the squadron of cav
airy, and it was formed into
a battalion of heavy artillery
and saw service on Sullivan's,
Coles and James Islands in the defense
of Charleston harbor.
The C. S. Regulars were later con-
solidated into one company, under
command of Capt. T. B. Hayne, and
served until the evacuation of the
"City by the Sea-" and played its part
in the last act of the drama when the
American Fabius, j. E. Johnston, sur
rendered to William Tecumseh Sher-
man, near Raleigh, N. c., April 70, 1865.
This battalion of artillery, under COM
mand of Mai! ]. j. Lucas, defended the
back door approach to Charleston, the
Stone river, and manned fort called
Pemberton (for him of Vicksburg fame
and Northern extraction) and bat
teries Pringle and Tynes. The two last
were named for Capt. Pringle and
Sergt. Tynes Cloth of whom were kill
ed in the defense of Battery Wagner),
by order of Gen. Beauregard, but In
Difference to the request of their I'M
mediate commander.
But that is another story" as Kip
ling would say-to the regulars again
Can't. Lee soon after became Gen. Lee,
and when the war closed was lieu
tenant general in the Mississippi val
ley.
When the three years enlistment had
expired some of the Confederate States
Regulars desired to leave the service
but the South stood sorely in need or
''nen behind the guns" and the re-
quest was refused.
One dark night soon after, two men,
Swiss by birth, attempted to desert to
the blockading fleet, using an open row
boat as the vehicle of escape. Unfor-
tunately the harbor patrol steamer
caught the foreigners and returned
them to their command.
A general court martial to try these
prisoners was ordered by Gen. Ripley
Ca northerner by birth), commanding
the Department of South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida.
They were found guilty of attempting
desertion to the enemy and condemned
to be executed. One bright summer
morning in the presence of the pa
raded battalion, a reluctant firing de-
tail carried out the sentence of the
COURT Squad, Ready, Aim, FIRE." A
sharp crack from the rifles, the tragedy
on the Stone is over, and as the smoke
floats away, two lifeless forms attest
the fact that war is hell"
