WAYCR0SS NEWS NOTES.

Waycross, Ga, July 20.-The ponds
and branches about the county have
at last begun to show the effects of
the recent rains, and there is no long
er any suffering among the stock be-
cause of the scarcity of water. 1t is
said that the drought has been longer
than has been known in twenty years,
and many cattle have died for the
want of water The Satilla river near
this city has been lower than has ever
been known before, and the Okefeno-
kee swamp was almost dry, outside Of
the big lakes.
Mr.. M. L. Moore, the turpentine
operator from LESSEE, Fla, has COM
menced the erection of two $4,000 cot
tages on Lott and Alice streets. Mr..
Moore also intends to construct a
number of other dwellings on the
property he has purchased in differ
ent parts of the city. His investments
in Waycross property during the past
two weeks has been about $4,000, and
he is almost daily making further
purchases. He is also considering the
construction of a $4,000 brick building
on the vacant lot on Albany avenue
and Plant avenue.
The recent efforts of many citizens
of this city seem to have been sue
cessful, and it is likely that the pro-
posed public hospital will be con-
structed in Waycross. Mr.. j. w.
Strickland, clerk of the City Council,
has been elected president of the as
ISOLATION, and DR.. M. NJ. johnson sec
rotary. The Executive Committee, to

Mr.. J. d. Smith, who has just re-
turned from Birmingham. Ala, has
made arrangements to remove the
Cannon Pump Manufacturing Com
pany from Waycross to that city.
The work Of removal will commence
at once. Mr.. Smith gives as his rea-
son for removing to Birmingham that
he will be in close touch with the iron
foundries and pipe factories and will
have better facilities for disposing of
his pumps. A location for the factory
has already been purchased In Bir-
mingham, and a building is now being
constructed. Mr.. Smith will in all
probability remove to Birmingham as
will also Mr.. r. c. Cannon.

The question of striking was voted
upon at meetings tonight by five sep
arate unions of mill workers. Two of
the organizations, the carders' union
and the spinners' union, voted against
thirds vote of the Textile Workers
Union, of which they are members,
and will walk out with the weavers,
the loom fixers and the slashers' tend
ers.
1t is the general belief in the city to-
night that the mill owners will recon-
slider their decision to reduce wages
and so avoid a strike. This belief is
based on the argument of the union
leaders that the cotton and cloth mar
kets are in such condition that a shut
down at this time would be ruinous to
the manufacturers.

There are some people. no doubt, who
fancy that $4,000 an ounce is quite
enough to give for anything in the

there is little doubt that this price
will come to be looked upon as a very
modest one for radium. The action Of
the Austrian government is restricting
the mining of pitchblende in Bohemia
Is already having its effect, and the
mighty atoms become more valuable
every day. AS an instance of the
manner in which the precious material
is regarded, we need only mention the
demand that is made for the mere loan
of a specimen of radium. It is of l.
100000 activity. and has a distinct eff
