THE NEWS OF WAYCROSS.

Waycross, Ga, April 27.-Carey How
ell, 14-year-old white boy who has
been held in Ware county Jail on a
charge of murder for some time. has
been released from custody. The
grand jury failed to find true bill
against him. While out hunting in
January, young Howell shot compan-
ion, Johnny Barber, who was hunting
with him, from the effects of which he
died in few days. Howell claimed the
shooting was unintentional. but it was
claimed that young Barber maintained
to the very last that he was shot in
tentionally by Howell, and after the
death of Barber his relatives had How
ell arrested and placed in jail on the
charge OF murder.
Wesley Williams, a negro, who killed
a negro woman at Hasty several weeks
ago, was also released at this term of
court, as sufficient evidence to convict
him could not be obtained by the
grand jury.
The Waycross Rifles. thirty-six
strong under command Of Capt. j. G..
Bird, left tonight for Albany, where
they will participate in military day
tomorrow at the Georgia Chautauqua.
Rev. 7. w. Arnold. the pastor, will
begin a revival meeting at Trinity
Church Sunday. Rev. l.. l.. Picket,
a well known evangelist, is expected
to arrive Tuesday from Louisville, KY,
to assist in the meeting, which will
probably last for ten days or longer.

CASES THAT COST PLANT SYS-
TEN $4,000 TO PROSECUTE.
Gilbert and Howell Car Robbery
Cases Finally Disposed of.

Waycross, Ca, April 27.--The cases
which have been pending against
George F. Gilbert and DOC" Howell in
Ware Superior Court for some time,
came up at this term and were mol
pressed. 1t is claimed by the railroad
attorneys that the prosecution of these
cases alone has cost the railroad COM
pany about $4,000.
Two years ago, George F. Gilbert
who was then a prosperous citizen Of
Waycross, was arrested on charge Of
robbing Plant System freight cars. AS
he had borne a good reputation pre-
vious to this, Gilbert's arrest on such Il
serious charge created quite sensa-
ton. He gave heavy bond for his
appearance at court, and the grand jury
found three separate indictments
against him on the charge of breaking
and entering freight cars.
Gilbert employed counsel. and when
the first case came to trial it was hard
fought on both sides. Gilbert was con-
victed and was sentenced to serve four
years in the penitentiary. The case
was appealed to the Supreme Court,
with the result that the decision Of the
lower court was sustained. In various
other proceedings Gilbert's attorneys
endeavored to save him, but all to no
avail. He was taken to the convict
camps at Fargo, and after serving four
or five months, the Prison Commission
was appealed to, to reduce the sentence
to a fine as for a misdemeanor, which
was done.
Gilbert was then fined 81 900, or in de-
fault of payment to serve twelve
months on the changing. He paid the
fine and was released, leaving two
other cases on the same charge pend
ing against him. The disposition of the
cases at this term of court sets Gilbert
entirely free from the charges against
him in this score, and he has returned
to Birmingham, where he has been re-
siding since being released from prison
at Fargo.
Three true bills were returned by the
grand jury against Howell but on the
trial OF the frst case he was cleared,
and the mol pressing at this term of the
court of the two other cases against
him also sets him free from further
prosecution in connection with the
cases.

FLORIDA'S BENEFITS
FROM THE PANAMA CANAL
Pointed Out by Governor william S. Jennings.

this value is largely lost to the miners
and shippers because of the excessive
freight rates now charged. There is a
heavy demand for Florida phosphates
in California, and with the opening of
the canal shipments can be made to
that state under freight rates cut in
half. This will be a welcome boon to
one of Florida's greatest present in
dustries.
LAS to the question of what steps
will be necessary to secure the most
advantageous results with prospective
enterprises, in connection with the
canal, it suffices to say for Florida that
the natural trade law of demand for
things which she is fortunately sit
uated to supply more readily and
cheaper than other sections will fur
nish ample stimulation for the success
of the commercial and industrial activ-
ity which the construction of the canal
will arouse in this state.
"A glance at the map must convince
any intelligent person that the building
of an isthmian canal means that Flor
ida ports are destined to figure very
prominently in the future naval policy
of the United States. 1t is not con-
sidered rash to predict that the day is
near when Key West Tampa, and
Pensacola will be among the most
important anu UeSL CNulpPCo Alo NHl
stations in the world. From these
places as points of rendezvous and
bases of supplies the United States can
most easily command the Mexican
gulf and the canal-and there is album
dant reason to believe that naval Off
Gals thoroughly appreciate this and
will succeeded in making these ports
the leading centers for the operations
of large part of the navy" The Gov
ernor calls attention to the advantages
of Pensacola and Tampa for the es-
tablishment Of building plants. so
far as known, the commercial attitude
in Florida" the Governor says, lis en-
Enthusiastically in favor of the immedi-
ate construction of an isthmian canal"
THE convention which has been
called to meet in Tampa on May 4, to
be attended by delegates representing
every Southern state and every COM
mercial organization of the South,
who will discuss the commercial inl-
portance of the Panama canal. espe-
cially as it will influence Southern in
dustries and development, will. in my
Judgment be one of the most impor-
tant business gatherings ever held in
this section. The convention will be
held under the auspices of the Tampa
Board of Trade and a number OF the
ablest and most distinguished men in
the country will participate in its pro-
eeedings."

rounding the market during the pro-
gress of the ginning shall seem to make
it necessary and desirable to introduce
one or more additional reports, we shall
be prepared to do so, and shall certain
ly do so if conditions are at all similar
to those of last year shall again reap
pear. The most useful point at which
to introduce one of these additional re-
ports would appear to be between Sep
TENDER and Oct. 49, and if the ginning
season opens very early, / am con-
WINGED that such a report at such ii
date will be of advantage to the grow
ers.
But another plan of handling the
current reports of the ginners has been
under careful consideration in this Of
fee, and will, / think likely, serve all
the purposes which would spring from
weekly reports of cotton ginned to adj
vance the date ON which the statistics
of cotton ginned are published. Con-
siderable time is necessarily consumed
by the special agents in the different
counties in making the canvass.
Basis of Reports.
'In some countries the canvass Is
completed much sooner than in others;
therefore, if the publication of the date
is put on a county basis rather than
a state basis, we can publish the re-
ports for large number of counties
within IA few days, after the beginning
of the canvass These reports would be
accompanied by corresponding data for
the crop of 1903. For instance. if re-
turns are received from Hall and
Twiggs counties, Georgia, showing the
quantity of cotton ginned to Oct. 49, the
results would be published at once in
comparison with similar totals for the
crop of 1908. If returns were received
on the following day from Bibb and
Emanuel counties, they would be COM
bined with the totals for Hall and
Twiggs counties, and the aggregate
published in comparison with a SINH
lar aggregate for 1903. The arrange
ment would enable the Office to make
the statistics as rapidly as they are
received from the field agents. This
plan will make the reports of the office
almost continuous, and enable the pub
lie to judge of the relative amounts
being ginned without waiting for the
full monthly reports. When reports
had been received from all counties,
the totals will be published by states
as heretofore.
81 will be greatly obliged if you will
let me know as soon as possible after
the receipt of this communication,
whether the plan above outlined meets
with your approval. and whether or
not it seems to you to meet the re-
quirements of the case"
