This week we have been look

The Dublin Times says that
grand juries are a useless ex.
pense to the people, and ought
to be abolished.
The Times probably has some
grievance, probably knows of
some mistakes made by grand
juries, but that is not sufficient
to condemn the system. The
legislature has made mistakes,
plumbers are made sometimes in
Congress. Our grand jury sys-
tenn is alright Notwithstanding
an occasional blunder.

Section 222 of the city code
should protect shade trees and
many flower gardens if enforced.

The high price of cotton natur-
ally has a tendency to influence
the planting of a larger crop. A
large acreage may mean this
year record breaking crop.
With such a crop 5 cent cotton is
inevita BILE. Under such condi-
tons poverty and bankruptcy is
sure to stalk abroad in the cotton
belt. The farmer too often cal
culates on the stupidity of his
neighbors. Such an one will
this year put in large crop, as
suming that the other cotton
planters will naturally limit the
acreage.

Resolution.

Hall of Pine Level Lodge No. 353,
F. & A. NJ, Fitzgerald, Ca, April
28th, 1908.
To the officers and members of Pine
Level Lodge No. 1853, F. & A M.
Fitzgerald, Ga.
1t has been said, that every sweet
has its bitter, every rose it's thorn.
SO while we sit together and quar-
the sweet elixir of fraternal associa-
tlon. we are called upon to taste the
bitterness of having to say "Fare-
WE'LL" to feel the thorn of earthly
separation.
But while we mourn the loss from
our fratrenal ranks, we are remind.
ed of the aching hearts in the family
circle from which grim death has
called him to go, and our hearts go
out in sympathy to those who have
sustained the greater loss.
In cumming up tie life of our de-
parted brother, no better eulogy can
be pronounced than by saying: HE
was grateful to his Creator, faithful
to his fellowmen."
There was much in the life OF our
worthy brother that denoted noble
manhood, good citizenship, and de.
sire to live in accordance with the
Golden Rule,
To those who had intimate rela-
lions with Brother Drew fraternally,
socially, or in the way of business,
he was an ideal man. He was a
loving husband, 81 kind father, a
true brother and respe cted citizen.
We therefore offer the following res
olutions:
WHEREAS: 1t has pleased our
Heavenly Father in His all-wise
Providence to take from us our
worthy brother David Goodwin Drew
who departed this life April 26. Be it
RESOLVED, That our charter be
drapped, and that the members wear
the badge of mourning for a period
of thirty days,
RESOLVED, That a copy of these
resolutions be spread upon the min
utes of this lodg., and that copy be
furnished the family of the deceased
brother, and that they be published
In the local papers.
Respectfully eubmitteda

PESTIVEROUS.

The pestiverous mosquito will
soon arrive with his entire family.
Several Exchanges.
Boosting is agin our nature.
we never found pleasure in vaunt-
ing about our superior abilities;
We are always willing to admit
our advantages of education. !
When boy we enjoyed the I'M
usual advantage of living within
three short miles of a school
where three month sessions
we're held annually. Ard for four
years WIS enjoyed the advantage
of the school except in cotton
chopping season, which only last
ed three or four weeks. All in
all we had fully nine months of
schooling and learned many
things that our less fortunate
brothers of the weekly press
seem not to know.
We never claimed to be
much of speller; we do
not claim that we stood head
in the dictionary class" One
trouble was, every year we start
ed back in the AS and twas sell
dom we got down as far as the
P's. While we are willing to ac-
knowledge that we couldn't spell
all the words by heart" still we
looked at them often enough,
long enough and hard enough to
Recognize one in after life when
we met it in the road but our
dictionary didn't have the word
"pestiverous" in-we recol1ect
that distinctly-and since we
have seen the above 2-1iner going
the rounds of the Georgia press
we have made diligent inquiry
for its authority and nowhere
have we been able to find it ex-
cept i'll our weekly exchanges.
Some of them however may have
license for coming words.

Every foreign advertisement,
especially those coming from adj
vertising agencies to the weekly
papers of Georgia, should be
handled through one general Of
flee, accepted on basis of circu-
lation. With such a plan the
rates could be doubled, and fakes
and swindles entirely eliminated.
Fitzgerald Enterprise.
This strikes us as a good plan,
and we hereby vote to delegate
Bro. Mercer as a committee to
bring this matter up at the next
Press Association. -Telfair En-
terprise.
The Enterprise is perfectly
willing to take this matter up in
business like way. 1t is sub
ject that ought to commend itself
10 every publisher OF a weekly
paper in the state.
Every advertising agency in
the land is engaged in beating
down the prices of advertising
and, as it stands at present we
dare say there is not paper in
the state that counts it's foreign
advertising as worth the worry
of keeping the run of contracts
and collecting the paltry fees.
With one central Office to make
contracts and check them out
and effect settlements, it would
greatly simply the question as
well as guarantee reasonable
prices.

FREE PASSES.

Quoting what we said last week
on the question of free passes
the Telfair Enterprise adds the
following comment.
Our neighbor quoted above
knows how to put a truth in
telling style and clear terms, and
we are glad to get it's views on
the free pass" question.
We want the other papers in
Georgia to speak out and let the
people know what they think of
the question. There are some
who seem to believe that law to
abolish the system of free passes
would be reflection on the in
tegrity and honesty of the officials
and legislators who would thus be
deprived of their use. It is not
denied that the passes do hold a
corrupting influence on some who
use them. Yet we are told that
we should elect men who cannot
be biased by such favors. That
those who are selected must be
considered, while holding such Of
flee or trust, as above the shadow
OF temptation, and as living and
acting IN an atm osphere where no
personal influence or bias can en-
ter, and where rectitude, wisdom
and justice are alone the guides
in action. In other words, when
you place man i'll public office
which would induce railroad
company to offer him free pass,
you areto consider him as being
placed in kind of heaven-a
place where no evil can enter.
And this is a condition peculiar
to public Offices provided and
filled by man, for even the tribute
we are supposed to render to God
is supposed to bring backa reward
from heaven to the being who
pays the tribute. But the 1egis-
lators, judges and other public Of
ficials in Georgia are different.
They receive tribute from the
railroads, but give the railroads
nothing in return.
Now, this paper is unable to
find a parallel or precedent for
this supposed condition of things
IN heaven, earth, CT many other
region, so far as our information
goes. Our opinion is that no such
condition can exist this side the
millenial dawn, if then. (Mean-
time we would suggest that a law
be passed providing for the pur-
chase of passes by the state over
all roads which it deems such
passes necessary to the official
use of state officials, that the
state furnish these passes to
those who are to use them, and
that it be made unlawful for any
one holding public office in
Georgia to accept free transport
alton or reduction other than
such as is given to the public by
these roads or corporations, in
the transportation rates, eitherof
person, property, or other things
of value, and the law which now
allows mileage to these officials
for travelling expenses be repeal
ed. And let expulsion from the
Office, together with the usual
punishment for receiving a bride,
be the penalty of conviction for
a violation of the law.-Telfair

Moultrie, about our size, is
discussing the advisability of
putting in a sewerage system.
This is critical period in every
town or city, and always means
great expense. Heavy taxes or
a large bonded debt hangs like a
pail over the real estate and bust
ness enterprises that must bear
the burden at last.
We have an idea that we would
at least like to have discussed
thoroughly, and if it is feasible,
put into practice in this com
munity. That is to undertake
this task not in the usual way but
after careful survey lay two or
three main sewers along the sew
eral drains that now give the city
its natural drainage, in such a
manner and of such a size as will
conform to the completed sewer
age system years hence. To be-
gin with, we would suggest COM
mencing about the city limits on
the east of the Seaboard main
line and south of the Atlantic &
Birmingham main line beyond
the crossing of the two roads and
open up a drain under the Sea-
board, crossing Central Avenue
about the intersection of Meade
along the lowest part of the
branch or drain to Ocmulgee,
thence up Ocmu1gee to Christian
Science Church, and wall the
sides of the same and so grade
the fallas to leave drainage direct
and sure, leaving no standing
waters or cess-pools along it's
length. This sewer or drain
might be left open temporarily
so that it would be perfectly
practi cable to cover the
same when that necessity
arises. That sewer would at
present serve as an outlet forthe
drainage proposed on Grant, and
already necessary the full length
OF Pine. Later on another main
sewer could be laid up the drain
near the third ward school to the
vicinity of the PRESBYTERIAN
church, then later on the two
other natural drains within the
corporate limits might be treated
likewise, as soon as it becomes
necessary. By this method the
very heavy expense of a complete
sewerage system might be met
by instalments and in such a
manner as not to greatly increase
the city's bonded Indebtedness.
vi course one thing necessary
would be to start right by getting
correct survey and having the
complete system mapped out.
Additional branches and extern
s1ons could be made as the emer-
gencies arise.

 The work of organizing this museum, unique of it's kind in this country and worthy. as has been seen, of the honor of the people whose own Musee des Beaux Arts Is unrivaled is almost entirely Miss Hewitt's. She and herslster have devoted their lives practically to itsfor the last few years. Before the museum was opened, in 1897, and since then in enlarging and im- proving 1t, they have spent energy and time. It has been tothem not nfad, butAabusiness. It has not been crowded in between two morning engagements or~two afternoon ,en- agreements, but to it all other affairs have had to yield. On their trips abroad they have both given timeto the study of the ex- hibits and of tho methods of foreign mu. seums to the advantage of theirown. The cases, for instance, in Cooper Union Mu- scum are modelled upon those. of the Hof Bibliothek, of Vienna.

 The quality which more than any other made of the Museum of Fine Arts at Cooper Union success has been Miss Hewitt's per sonal enthusiasm and personal labor It Is easier for her to do thing than to oversee II being done in way that does not quite meet her notions of perfection. Thls fond ness for dong things herself has made her the mistress of more arts than most women can claim to have acquaintance with.
 At the Hewitt country place, in Rlngw ood, N. J., there is widespread conviction that If Miss Sally" should at any moment per sonally undertake the ploughing or the har- festing 1t would be done with an unusual neatness and promptness. That she can do things at the forge which lie quite beyond the province of young ladies Is well known. She can cast shoe or mend lock with the best of the ironworkers. She can oversee the cementing of stab,e or cellar floor in way to strike cold fear to the heart of

Her interests are as many as those of her father, the late Abram s. Hewitt. She has all of his vigorous un- easiness in regard to disorder and stupidity. and in her narrow sphere she is as great fierce for order and intelligence.
 Like her grandfather, she would rather give the means of sef-betterment than aims. The soap-and-water charity to the dirty or the soup-and-coal charity to the hungry and cold Is not enough for her. though doubtless she admits the value of these. But to her
