AN ARIZONA EDITOR
Who Escaped by Dog Team From
 Stirred Up Dominion Authorities.

Editor Semple of the Douglas Inter national American, formerly the Tomb stone American. has been practicing Journalism all along the backbone of the American continent from Dawson in the frozen north to the sunny So- nora line. Tn the course Of his news paper career he has acquired a great deal of experience and while at Daw- son he earned the reputation of being a fearless though perhaps not a very prudent journalist.
 MT. T. J. Sparks, the mining man, knew him at Dawson. There was a case pending in the courts there. The litigation did not move along fast enough to suit MF. Semple, who was an impulsive American, and he tried it in an issue of his paper, reached a verdict and entered judgment He learned almost immediately after the issue of the paper that his journal was being read with great interest and care by the judiciary of the Dominion, for he was summoned before the court and fined $500 for contempt.
 Still MT. Semple was not fully inn pressed with the excellence and infal- liability of the Canadian judiciary, as he took occasion to say in the next number of the paper, which is said to have been the hottest number ever put out in such a climate. He convicted himself of lese majeste in every col umn. He reviled the British govern ment from the reigning house to the lowest constable in Canada He re- viewed the case which he had tried the week before and tried to convince the world that he had been right and the regularly constituted court egregiously wrong. He favored the immediate an- nexation of Canada by the American government and the breaking off of friendly relations with England He recommended the passage of a law by the United Sta teS congress making it a felony for an American heiress to mar ry an English title. He even protested against the use by patriotic Americans of the english" in billiard playing. There was nothing in that number of MT. Semple's paper but heated criti- cisms of the English government and people.
 MT. Sparks got hold of a copy of the paper while it was yet damp from the press He hunted MT. Semple up and told him that if he remained in Daw- son for two hours he would not get out from under the thumb of the Do-

Two millions out of fifty is mere ly a drop in the bucket for Sir Thomas, as his millions are easily made.

Tailoring Was the First Business in Existence.

When Adam put on his first fig leaf the mems clothing business was born. The first ready-made garment was a fig leaf. Men who don't care about their appearance still buy ready-made clothes. many of which are not better than fig leaves.

Fire Destroys A Large Part Of
the Garbutt Lumber
Cos. Plant.

Yesterday afternoon fire con-
sumed the smaller saw mill, the
planning mill, two of the five dry
kilns and other property at the
Garbutt Lumber Cos. mills at
Wright.
The fire originated about 3
o'clock, under the saw mill and
was so sudden and burned so
rapidly that the large force of
hands who were at work in the
mill at the moment the fire was
discovered were power1es to pre-
vent the rapid spread to the 9TH
err property.
The plant was we'll equipped
for fighting fire but yesterdays
blaze was so swift that the apa-
ratus at the mill burned could
not be utilized at all. The fire
department at the large mill, on
ly few hundred feet distant
from the property destroyed
was brought if:to use and, with a
favorable breeze that was blow
ing, the fire was confined to the
west side of a street that divides
the plant into sections,
The unburnt property consists
of the larger mill, the brick plant,
the machine shops, the commits
sary (owned by Bell brothers, J
three dry kilns, office, many
buildings and large amount of

the planning mill shed.
There was no insurance and,
while the company can stand the
loss as we'll any body in this Sec
ton, they are about $4,000 poor

LAST Articulate Words Of Pope Were A
Benediction on Those Standing About
His Bed---Sometirne Before Death
He Became Unconscious and
Did Not Again Revive.

Rome, July 2O.-Pope Leo is
dead. The last flicker of life ex-
plred at 4:04 this afternoon, and
the pontiff now lies at rest.
The period of over two weeks
that Pope Leo passed in the
shadow of death was no less won
derful than his1ife. Hissp1endid
battle against disease was watch
ed the world over with sympathe-
tic admiration, and ended only
after a series of tremendous
efforts to conquer the weakness
of his aged frame by the mar
velious will power of his mind.
The pleuro-pneumonia, with
which his holiness has been suf-
fering, was scarcely responsible
for his death as that inevitable
decay Of tissue which ensues up
on ninety-three years of life.

in connection with their store,
and girls who wait on customers
at the dry goods counter will
take pains to ask them if they do
not want anice refreshing drink,
before they go out on the street.
Then you will see all such signs
as these upon the doors of some
adjoining room. IF you do not
find what you want come in here
and ask for it," ''Al1 nations
welcome in this room except
Carrie" To person with good
common sense and especially one
who is wanting a drink these
hints are sufficient.
In the Blind Tigers it is very
common to see boys from twelve
years and up drinking beer from
ginger ale bottles. The Tiger
men have these filled so that the
boys need but ask for bottle of
ale and give the sign in order to
get all the beer they want.
l do not know that such as the
above would be the case in Fitz-
gerald, but it is all together prob
able. Shall we as citizens of
Irwin Co., make such a state of
affairs possible here by standing
idle while they who are advocat-
ing this system are hurting them
selves to have it become a law
without protest. Some will say
our merchants and business men
would not engage in this business
which Iadmit may betrue but the
whiskey corporations would send
some one here who could be de-
pended upon to engage in it..
They would put in a stock of
goods for him and authorize him
to undersell your merchants in
order that he might get your
sons and your daughters to trade
with him. Under the present
system your daughters are not
tempted to enter the open saloons
but under the dispensary system
they would have the temptation
presented to them in such a res
pectable form that not a few OF
them might yield to 1t and be
no longer ladies, but tipplers, yea
drunkards.

I. J. HARPER SHOT.
Policeman Brubaker Shoots
and Seriously Wounds
a Countryman.
a Countryn1an.

Last Saturday afternoon Char
lie Brubaker shot and danger
ously wounded T. J. Harper, who
was sawyer at a sawmj11 at Re-
becca. Harper had been to the
city before and his conduct had
necessitated the attention of the
policeman. Saturday he was
drinking" (Which is generally
supposed tomeannot quite drunk
He was sufficiently intoxicated
to become disorderly and used
considerable profanity, some of
which, it appears, was dire cted
at Policeman Brubaker. About
4 p. m. he started to the F. O. &
K. B. r. r. station, going down
Pine street. Before he started,
and while in one of the bar rooms,
he stated that if Brubaker came
on him" he would shoot him.
The policeman followed him at
a distance, but keeping near e.
nough on his wheel to observe all
that happened. Harper did con-
siderable swearing along the
sidewalk and was clearly disor-
derby. Just after crossing Thorn
as street the policeman ordered
Harper to halt and approached
him with the eveident purpose of
arresting him. Harper drew his
pistol and turned to face the po-
llceman, who, seeing the pistol in
Harper's hand, fired three shots
in rapid succession, two of which
took effect, one just below the
left nipple and the other lower
down in the abdomen. Brubaker,
it is said, then retreated some
distance. Harper weakened and
dropped his pistol to the ground
without ever having fired it at all.
He then walked nearly a block
back west on Pine and was then
placed in wagon and taken to
the Lee House where DIR. Smith
dressed his wounds. He is very
seriously wounded and it will be
long time before he is we'll
again.

THOUSANDS MADE
ON WOOL CROP.
sale of $4,000 Pounds Yesterday
Sold at 224 Cents Per Pound
And Melted $I4.4OO.

And Melted $I4, 400.
The Colquitt county wool
growers sold their clip for 1908
yesterday afternoon. The sale
was made to Morris Mayer OF
Albany and the price paid was
22A cents.
There were between us and
ITO bales of wool in the lot with a
total weight of about $14,462,52.
There were several bidders
present.
Mr.. J. N. Griffin of Valdosta.
A. w. Tucker of Albany, M. G.
Enrich of Savannah, and Morris
Mayer of Albany.
The bidders assembled at the
warehouse of Norman Newton
and Co.
The bidding began at twenty
cents and run up to twenty one
by the wool dealers. Mr.. J. B.
Norman Jr. who was the largest
holders of wool, bid twenty two
cents. The lot apparently went
at that bid.
Later Mr.. Norman made pri-
vate sale to Mayer at twenty-five
and a quarter. The real value of
the wool was learned by a te1e-
gram from an Atlanta buyer who
offered twenty-five cents by wire.
This is large lot of wool but
not the largest ever sold in the
county. AS much as $4,000
pounds has been sold at time.
The wool belongs to the Nor
mans, Murphys, Monks, Mays,
Gays, Subers, Hornes and others.
The largest single holder was
Mr.. ]. B. Norman Jr., who held
about $4,000 pounds. Some of
this, however, had been sold
prior to the sale Yesterday. His
wool crop for the year will net
him about $2,430. This is the
product of four thousand sheep,
but counting lambs, he now owns
five thousand head. This with
out doubt makes him the wool
king of Georgia as we'll as Col
quit county.

SOUTH GEORGIA
WILL GET PLACE.
Vacant Judeeship To Go to That
SectiOn-GOvernor Will Tender
1t to Barrow or Turner.

~ w O0AAOW VE UTESEs
The vacancy upon the su-
preme court created by the
death OF Justice Samuel Lump
kin, will in all probability go to
some south Georgia man.
Governor Terrell declines to
make any statement concerning
his probable action, but from
those close to him comes the in
formation that the present indi-
cations point to tender Of the
place to either Hon. Pope Barrow,
judge of the superior court at Sa-
vannah, or Hon. Henry G.. Tur-
ner, of Brooks county, former
memb Der. of congress.
That this vacancy will be filled
by the appointment of a south
Georgian is regarded certain.
The reasons which prompt the
governor in combining his consid-
Grafton of possibilities to that
section of the state are found in
the present make up of the court.
Southern Georgian is the only
section not now represented.
With Chef Justice Simmons
from middle Georgia, Justice
Fish from southwest Georgia,
Larmar from eastern Georgia,
Justice Cobb from north Geor gia
and Justice Gambler from the i'm
mediate vicinity of Atlanta, Gov
ernor Terrell feels that-all
other things being eqna1-he
should first consider the section
which, as things stand, has no
immediate representative.
Of the eminent judges and
jurists of that particular section
the two men who-stand out most
prominently are Judges Barrow
and Judge Turner. 1t is safe to
predict that the tender will be to
one of these two.

Rev. Bradshaw on Dispensaries.

mangurate the dispensary system
in Irwin county. l thought il
well to give to the voter of said
county through the columns of
this paper a brief statement of
the conditions as they actually
exist where this system is in
operation. did not learn these
conditions from hearsay but
from personal investigation dur
ing the two years that spent in
mbia, S. C.
The advocates Of this system
tells us that if it was in operation
IN this county that we would
have but one place here in Fitz-
gerald where Intoxicating drinks
could be bought whereas now we
have six. This as theory is
very PLAUSIBLE and such might
be the condition of affairs if this
system was in operation, but
such is far from the condition of
affairs where this system is oper-
ated. Let us look at the condi-
tons as they actually exist in
Columbia, S. c., under this
system. There are in that town
sevendispensaries selling whisky,
wines, and beers.
Then there are from eight to
twelve men who have by paying
license to the dispensary board
secured what is called a beer
privilege, which allows them to
sell beer to the trade the same as
our saloon men do here in Fitz-
gerald.
In these dispensaries and beer
houses the goods are all sold in
bottles and person is not allow
ed to drink in the room where
he buys.
Again these places can be open
ed onlyfrom sunup till sun down.
The advocates of this system tell
us that all of these should COM
mend the system to us. But so
far as the practical benefits de-
rived from these conditions they
are no better than the open
saloon. The dispensarY and beer
house have an adjoining room, or
a back yard with a high board
fence around it where you may
go and drink. YOU buy your
bottle of whisky, wine or beer
pass on into the next room, or the
yard as the case may be, hand
your bottle to negro who pulls
the cork for you, offers you a
chair, you then can sit down and
drink the same as if you were in
a regularly licensed saloon.
Now in regard to the hours of
closing there is nothing gained
by a town to have a .dispensary
that has it's door closed at sun
down, from the fact that there
are always so many side doors
and if theseare watched too close
ly have known the dispenser to
fill an ice box with whiskey and
beer, place it just outside the
back door and there wait on his
customers.
Now is it any more than we
would expect, should this system
be inaugurated to see each one
of the saloons here in Fitzgerald
become dispensary, with from
four to six beer houses. Nor is
this all that we would have, iudg-
ing from what other places have,
if this compromise should be
made. We would have, as in
Columbia adjoining rooms to all
our restaurants where beer
would be sold. Our dry goods
merchants would have a beer
room in the rear of their stores.
In Colum bia beer is served from
these Blind Tigers run in connec-
ton with the restaurants, with
YOUR regular meal in individual
tea pots supposed to be iced tea.
