Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1903-01-30

EDITOR ENTERPRISE:
In a recent issue of the Enter
prise was short editorial calling
attention to the great building
boom of our city. And in an adj
visory way calling attention to
the fact that the true prosperity
OF city depended largely upon
its manufacturing industries. l
fully agree with the editorial re-
ferred to, as l do, with many 9TH
or wise things said by the editor
of the wideawake Enterprise, and
l trust he may keep right on en-
couraging and warning too, when
he sees anything growing out of
proportion with itssurroundings.
The purpose of this article is to
further call attention to a very
important industry most serious
ly neglected. To be truly pros
porous a city such as ours should
be supported by the surround
ing country, as nearly as posi-
BILE.
In all the western states and
territories, before the country is
taken for agricultural purposes,
stock raising is the best paying
business. On the large open
ranges cattlemen have made a
success of the business even in
portions of the country where
water and grass are scarce, and
where in many parts of the coun-
try almost every season stock
has to be driven over hundred
miles from their home ranges
both for feed and water; and it
has to be fed from five to six
months every year, besides an oc-
casional blizzard sweeps over the
country destroying thousands of
cattle, yet stock raising pays even
in the face of all these disadvant-
ages. Now / venture the asser-
ton, and think am prepared to
prove it true, that there is no
part of the United States where
there are better ranges for cattle,
where they can live and do better
the year round, and during the
spring and summer fatten up for
beef. without a mouthful of any,
thing but what they find in the
woods. And I am fully persuad-
cd that there are not less than
5000 acres of open range for
every head of stock in Irwin,
Wilcox and other adjoining coun-
ties. Why is this so, while our
butchers are sending to the west
for our supply of beef? Here is
an opportunity for some enter
prising young man with a little
money to make a fortune. Prop
erly conducted there is no better
paying business for wiregrass
Georgia. Land is now cheap and
a sufficient number of acres can
be secured at small outlay and
with a moderate herd of cattle
correlled every night, and the
manure saved, the land can soon
be SO enriched that stall fed cat
tie may be brought to market all
seasons of the year.

BRUNSWICK SECURES LARGEST
STEEL MILL IN THE SOUTH.

Brunswick, Ga.-The coming to
Brunswick of the mammoth steel
mi of the Mohawk Valley Steel
and Wire Company, announce
ment of which appeared in the
Constitution means that this,city
will have the largest industrial
enterprise in the southern states
and that within two years Bruins
wick will have a population of
forty or fifty thousand people.
1t is the greatest victory ever
scored by southern city.
Brunswick secured the enormous
plant, had the papers signed,
sealed and delivered before one
word was sent to the outside
world. Brunswick had compe-
tition and did not want the other
cities to know what she was do
ing. Charleston and Mobile have
been hard at work to secure the
plant, but the harbors did not ex.
Aactly suit the owners. They
wanted land-locked harbor,
with Wep water and close to the
iron fields of Alabama.
The news of little city like
Brunswick securing such an en-.
ormous enterprise no doubt came
as surprise to the country, as
: not one word had been said about
it previous to the dispatches sent
out last night after the money
had been raised and the papers
signed by President aud Gener-
al Manager Umsted, of the Mo-
hawk company. The entire af-
fair Ns3 worked very quietly.
The Brunswick board of trade
has been in correspondence with
the Mohawk people for some
time. The board requested the
press of the city and the news
paper correspondents not to say
anything of it. They acquiesced.
A representative of the com.
pany was invited to visit Bruins
wick. He arrived Thursday and
was taken in charge by the board
of trade and shown the harbor.
President Umsted expressed
himself as being pleased with
Brunswick and submitted the
following proposition:
THE PROPOSITION SUBMITTED.
Our company will establish a
plant in your city if you will do
nate the site and guarantee us a
BONUS of 100000, to be paid
when the company begins active
operations"
The proposition at first stag
gered the board of trade and the
people of Brunswick generally.
How can we raise 100000? was
the question. Several leading
citizens met and discussed a plan
for raising the money, 1t was
decided to have mass meeting
at the city hall Saturday night.
, The hall was crowded. Presi-
dent Aiken, of the board of trade,
announced the purpose of the
meeting; subscription list was
opened and in less than one hour
100000 had been subscribed.
The list was headed by the Bruins
wick and Birmingham Railroad
Company for 100000, followed
by the city council and Glynn

Tax Payers at Fault.

Taxpayers ought to have deeper
interest in those affairs which affect
them than is shown by many. The
majority of tax payers take too much
for granted. accepting statements
from those they regard as competent
to speak instead Of personally investi-
eating. In this they make grievous
mistake. People are governed large
ly by personal motives and present
those things in which they have a sell
fish personal interest purely from
such standpoint. This being true it
is clearly understood that such state
ments are not wholly reliable and the
reason is therefore apparent TO- per-
sOnal investigation by tax payers into
those matters affecting them. If they
are displeased it is their privilege to
object, but they ought not to make
the mistake of objecting too late or
after that which displeases them has
been done South Bend Tribune.

SIIenced by Gold.

A really good story by Harry FL.
Rangeler descriptive of the lives of
the purpose, drillers and contractors
of ga Wild Cat Well"
The various trials. dIsappointments
and jealousies to be be encountered
while sinking for and pumping the oil
are dramatically told.
The sensationalism of quick,
decisive action and the SenSationaliSm
of bleak, dreary loneliness are equally
felt and appreciated in these pages,
The love tale is just of the thrilling
kind that might be expected from such
an atmosphere.
Though there is one villain, the
book mainly tells us about honest,
surviving people who call out all our
sympathy and admiration both for
what is done and what it resisted.

Mrs. Mary t. Whitney lectured in
Boston a few evenings ago on the
Evolution of Marriage"
She criticised the custom Of wealthy
girls buying dukes and counts for
husbands and said:
"We should not critcise the match
makers of eastern countries when we
have the most inveterate matchmak-
ers in the world. We do not purchase
young, beautiful girls for wives, but
get old broken down noblemen for
husbands. Sensible young women
view this with horror and have grown
up to believe that they can be just as
happy single. The world honors them
for their independence, and allows
them to do many things that only a
few years ago would have been frown'
ed upon. Therefore it has come
about that this country is paradise
Of old maids. !"

A Jolly Day For the Saturday Club.

There are ceatain days 10 the year
book of the Saturday club to which
all members look forward with bright
anticipations. Not the least Of these
is the annual trip to the country home
of Mrs. Eva III. Blain.
Last Saturday morning the weather
was fine, with promise of snow in
the air, which began falling before
our return home.
Eighteen members, with Mrs. G. o.
Smith and Helen Armstrong as
guests, made up the party. Two
hacks were necessary to carry so large
a crowd. Mrs. Martindale drove one
team and prevented an accident by
her carefulneSs. We arrived at our
destination about 11:30 a. M, and
found Mrs. Blain on the porch waving
an American flag. Perhaps to re-
mind us of our allegiance to Uncle
Sam; for we have studied Scotland and
admired the country and her poets,
until it might be necessary to recall
us to thoughts of our ''ain country. F"
After pleasant social time, we
invited to the dining room, where we
treated to one of Mrs. Blain's good
dinners, which must be tasted to be
appreciated.
This being the last day on the pro-
gram, for CUR study Of Scotland, we
were called into the parlor at p. M,
for our usual work.
At roll call each member responded
with quotation from Robert Burns
The business of the club was hurried
through for all were anxious to hear
the paper Mrs. Ida E. r. Smith had
prepared on "Burns and his country -
The subject was treated in a very
thorough and interesting way.
The fiye minutes paper for the day
was read by Mrs. Ada NJ. Corbin, and
was very interesting. Selections were
then read from Burns poems, one be-
ing the last song he wrote.
Scotch songs were sung by Mesdames
Thayer, Underwood and Jilson, with
Miss Florence Smith at the piano;
and "Auld Lang Syne" was sung by
all. as fitting end to such happy
day.
A vote of thanks was given Mrs
Blain for her kind hospitality, and
she very sincerely regretted that she
could not entertain the Saturday Clut
every day.
Our ride home was uneventful, and
the only regret expressed, was that
every member was not with US.

For Larger County Salaries.

Figures published showing the eff
feet Of Senator Cards salary bill on
some OF the larger counties of thes tate
set the legislators to thinking very
seriously. There is unquestionably a
sentiment in favor Of readjusting the
salaries of the county officers as it is
generally known that the duties in
many counties have increased SO that
salary is not commensurate.
But the Gard plan will give many
officers a ''good thing" /" Coupled with
the Askron bill providing that all
county officers shall begin their terms
on the first Of January succeeding
their election, thereby giving many
from two months to a year extension
it will be seen that many are going to
benefit to the extent Of thousands Of
dollars.

The Journal has received copy Of
a bill which commits the United States
to bear half the cost of constructing
high-class highways in the different
states. The bill creates bureau of
public roads in the Department Of
Agriculture, the object of which is to
cooperate with states, counties, and
townships in order to bring about as
far as may be uniform system Of
taxation for road purposes and a uni
form method of road construction, re-
pair and maintenance throughout the
United States. The plan is very
elaborate one and is worthy of con-
sideration even if the bill should not
be passed by the present congress.
since in some form sooner or later such
general scheme may be adopted.
Seyenty-five years ago the battles
in congress were between the strict
constructioniSts of the constitution
and those who held it contained I'M
piled powers which authorized river
and harbOr improvements and the
construction of the once famous Ma
tional road. The conflict between
these two elements in congress and the
country lasted many years. For a
long time the strict constructionists
had their way. River and harbor ap-
preparation bills were vetoed and the
construction of the national road was
delayed because congress refused to
vote money or presidents vetoed ap-
prOpriationS when made. Now the
same party in the same section which
furnished most of the strict cOnStruc-
tion element is most persistent for APP
preparations for rivers and harb ,rs
which cannot be regarded as national
waterways and for the improvement
of the Mississippi river, not for the
purposes Of the navigation, but for
the protection of the land owners and
inhabitants in the lower valley of that
stream. Now and then strict con-
StructioniSt lifts up his voice, but
never when federal appropriation is
proposed under the most liberal con-
strnction. In this respect the country
seems quite willing to accept the aid
of the federal government; therefore,
this new and wide departure regard
ing federal aid in building roads may
not be opposed. indianapolis Journ-

Some legislator might win fame and
deserved credit by Introducing bill
to prevent the issuing Of marriage
license to any one under conviction
for crime, under charge Of crime,
awaiting trial, or one who has been
convicted of crime within two to five
years previous, the time being proper
toned to the crime for which the
punishment was imposed. This
leniency toward criminals in allowing
them to marry even at the door Of the
prison, or indeed at any time while
they are manifesting all the symptoms
of criminals, is travesty on marriage
as well as disgrace and danger to
the state. -Elkhart Review.

(. A. SENN APPOINTED
NAMED AS SENIOR JUDGE OF
 BIRMINGHAM COURT.
Junior Judge Secures Place of Late Judge W. ", Wilkkerson-Many Lawyers are Mentioned
 for Vacancy.

Hon. Charles A. Senn of Birmingham was named by Governor Jelks yesterday to succeed the late W. w. Wilkerson as senior judge of the Birmingham City Court.
 The appointment of Judge senn did not create surprise. as 1t is understood that he not only had the practically solid en- dorsement of the Birmingham bar, but was also strongly endorsed by the press and citizens generally of Jefferson County.
 Judge Senn's appointment means his promotion from junior judge of the same court of which he is now the senior judge vacancy on the bench of this court. therefore, still exists, and while the Gov erEor experienced very little trouble in naming a successor to the lamented Judge Wilkerson, 1t is by no means certain that he is to have so smooth sailing in filling the junior position:
 There is understood to be a score of prominent Birmingham. lawyers who would not decline proffer of this place, but up to last night no applications had been filed in the executive office. Among those who have been discussed as prob abilities are former Circuit Judge J. J. Banks, A. o. Lane, Augustus Benners, Charles w. Ferguson. w. R. Houghton, John H. Miller, W. c. Ward and others.
 The Governor has not intimated at what time he will i'll the vacancy.
 There are two divisions of the Birming- ham City Court--the civil and criminal and each one has senior and a junior Judge. Judge senn was elected as junior judge of the civil division several years ago. when Judge Wilkerson was promoted to the senior position, succeeding Judge H. A. Sharpe, who had been made an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of AlabAma. The promotion of Judge Senn, therefore, comes in order, of the eternal fitness of things. He Is an able lawyer who has won distinction on the bench,
 Governor Jelks did not consider yeuter- day the vacancies in the Probate OfFices of Clay and Butler Counties to succeed Judge M. W. Whatiey and Fell Gaston, respectively. It is understood that a Probate Judge of Butler will be appointed Thursday.

 The Court of County Revenues has ad- journed after a long session. during which 1t reviewed the books of County Tax As sessor J. H. Lumpkin. A number of changes in assessments was recommend ed but the total amount of the changes cannot yet be ascertained as the owner of each piece of property on which a re- duction or an increase was recommended will first have a hearing before the Court. Probate Judge P. H. Pitts and Chief Clerk John Chisholm were busy today sending out citations and it is expected the number will be at least $50. The Court will meet on the second Monday in July to give hearing to the persons cited. The next meeting of the Court will be on Thursday when a special session will be held to pass on accounts against the County.
 An important business transacted by the Court was the purchase of a new road working outfit. It consists of ten mules and the regular number of scrapers ard other paraphernalia. This team will be operated in South Side. J. A. Minter an.l W. c. Phillips were appointed the 2ur- chasing committee.
