THE GREAT WHITE WAY.
One Section Completed sand the Other
is Under Way.

The first section of Oraneburg's s
White Way has been completed, and
the current was turned on it for the
first time on Monday night. This
section of the White Way extends
from Middleton to BroTghton streets
down Russell street brilliantly IL
Eliminating this portion of the city
and making it quite attractive. This
will be more of an inducement to
people to come out evenings and en-
Joy the fresh air and moving picture

The second section of the White
way, which Is now under construc-
ticn, will extend down Russell street
from Church to about the furDi'nre
store of Mr.. Grady The current will
be turned on as soon as it is COM
pIeted, which will be In day or two.
These lights will make the upper
part of the business section more at
tractive and will bring out people in
the evenings.
1t was through the efforts of few
energetic business men of the two
sections of Russell street that the
White Way was secured, they having
considered it's advantages and So
licited contributions from the 9TH

THEY WANT THE MONEY.
Murderer of Phillips Will Be Deliv-
cred for Cash.

Mr.. Paul A. Gibson. who went as
the agent of Sheriff Salley to Way
cross, Ca, for the negro who was
held there for the murder Of Mr.. j.
T. Phillips, has notified the sheriff
that the man held in that city is not
the James Evans who committed the
murder. Mr.. Gibson lives at Norway,
the scene of the brutal murder of
Mr.. Phillips seven years ago, and
knew the negro Evans well, as the
negro worked for Mr.. Gibson.
However, the police authorities OF
Waycross, say that If this Is the
wrong negro, they can apprehend
the right one and will do so # they
can obtain the reward that was Of
fered many years ago. An effort will
be made by the authorities in this
county to obtain requisition papers
from the governor of South Carolina
and also the revival Of the reward
and have the criminal apprehended If
possible.
About all the interest the Way
cross police have in the matter is to
get the reward offered for Evans.
Such police officials are a disgrace
to the department Of justice of any
town, and Waycross should lose no
time in kicking them out. The bru-
tai murderer of Mr.. Phillips ought
to be caught and hung regardless of
what it might cost, but that does not
justify the Waycross police in their
position.

"It is as good as any wagon shipped

NO."
But the world went on revolving
just the same.
Her answer filled his heart with woe,
But the world went on revolving
just the same.
She had no wish to be his bride,
Her cold rejection hurt his pride.
He med-i-ta-ted suicide,
But the world went on revolving
just the same.
The business man ran out of cash.
But the world went on revolving
just the same.
His business simply went to smash,
But the world went on revolving
just the same.
He pleaded with the banks, but no.
They wouldn't help him make it 60.
And so his heart was filled with woe.
But the world went on revolving
just the same.
And so it is-we come to grief,
But the world goes on revolving
just the same.
Our ship runs on a jagged reef
But the world goes on revolving
just the same.
And when at last, in course Of years,
There comes an end to hopes and
fears.
And we must leave this vale of tears.
1t will go right on revolving just
the same.

templates the use of range lights to
establish direction on the longer tan
gents, and of side lights spaced about
one mile apart to mark each side of
the channel The range lights are
omitted in Culebra Cut, where their
use is hardly practicable, and on four
of the shorter tangents on the re
mainder of the canal. The project
includes a light and fog signal on the
west breakwater in Limon Bay, light
on the east breakwater, should it be
built, and gas and nun buoys light
ing and marking the channel to the
Mount Hope Drydock. Acetylene gas
will be used for the lighted buoys in
all the sections of the canal and for
the beacons in the Gatun Lake sec
ton. For the beacons in the Atlantic,
Pacific, Mirahores and Culebra Cut
sections, electricity or acetylene gas
is to be used.

Drydook for Honolulu.

S. Lyle is now on the mainland look
ing over some of the dry docks to be
found there, in order to see what
would be the best style for Honolulu,
for the Inter-Island S. N. Co has de-
cided to have a drydock that will be
capable of docking the biggest of its
fleet as well some of the other boats
that come here
The proposal is to get dock cap
able of taking a vessel of about four
thousand tons net, for it is felt that
the opening of the Panama Canal will
mean a big increase in tonnage at Ho-
.nolulu and that some better docking
facilities will be absolutely essential.
So far nothing definite has been
heard from Mr.. Lyle beyond the fact
that he has looked over an excellent
dock at Long Beach, Cal, that would
be suitable for Honolulu He has gone
on to New York. In all probability
some provision will be made for the
enlargement of the dock should the
amount of patronage accorded it, war
