POLICE CHIEFS PENSIONS.


MAI. Sylvester Submits n Proposition
to the Association.
Major Sylvester, president Of the Asso-
citation of Police Chiefs of the United
States and Canada. has submitted propo-
sition to the association having for it's OBJ
ject the relief Of it's members. as well as
widows and orphans of those who die
while in the police service. 1t Is Major
Sylvester's idea that when chiefs are re-
moved from Office for political or other
reasons which do not affect their moral
character the association should assist
them In substantial way until they get
employment. In this connection the presi-
dent of the association realizes that many
men who are really excellent policemen
lose their positions, and in such cases their
services in the same line of work may be
in demand elsewhere. This. well as the
plan for assisting widows and orphans has
been approved by the board of governors.
and the propositions have now been sub
mitted to the individual members of the
association.

FITZGERALD is PROSPEROUS.
Town Not Dependent on Affairs of the Color

The colony of Fitzgerald, Ga. through
which the city was founded, recently went
into the hands of a receiver. The At
lanta Constitution points out that the city
now has standing of its own and is in no
wise dependent on the affairs of the colony.
Fitzgerald was one of the first towns in
the country to send contribution to Jack
sonyille after the fire. The Constitution of
Saturday says:
The recevership proceedings against
the Colony Company, by which the city
of Fitzgerald was placed upon its feet, in
no way affects the municipality. Fitz-
gerald is now fixed institution in the
State of Georgia, with credit and stand
ing all its own.
in transmission the figures giving the
assets of the company became mixed,
reading $3.50, instead of S250,O00, as in
tended. Those interested in the company
believe the property held worth fully this
amount and have no fears as to Il success
full winding up of it's affairs.
''As for the city itself, it has long since
passed the experimental stage. There are
ten brick blocks now in course of erection,
a cotton mill completed, three competing
railroad lines, energetic newspapers, sol
vent banks and all the institutions neces-
sary for the upbuilding of Il large city.
There is a fourth railroad headed for the
city.
by the liquidation of the affairs of the
Colony Company a number of titles will
be perfected, and the citizens will stand
ready to double the successes of the past.

remain its Chairman.
Just as the lights began to twinkle in
the streets the National President, in
broken tones, announced that tidings had
been brought of the death OF the Presi-
dent. The scene in the Convention beg
gars description. A low, prolonged moan
went up, and then silence that was dread
full fell upon the Convention, which was
broken after a few minutes by voice
in prayer. Then the tense sorrow gave
way to tears, rs Miss Ma1on, of Ohio, an
Army Nurse, poured forth her whole heart
in a plea to God for help and strength
in the hour of the Nations travail.
No one had any heart for business after
that, so all that could be so disposed OF
was turned over to the incoming Council.
The newly-elected officers were installed
at a very late hour by Past President
Mrs. Charity Rusk Craig; the lights were
turned out, and through the gloomy
streets, already somber with mourning
trappings, the delegates wendell their va
rious ways homeward. The message that
came to them early bad been untrue, but
the death angel lowering near had marked
tho doorway of the Nations ruler, who
in brighter cline awoke to say Good
morning."
