The tent meetings condu cted
by Rev. Abbott and wife and
Rev. I. J. Williams have been
running at the tent east of the
Lee-Grant Hotel since Sunday
morning. AS yet no great
amount of interest has been
manifested by the people, which
is at least partially due to the
fact that we have had several
other attractions that have en-
gagged the attention of the public
since the meetings. opened. We
hope the evangelists will hare
better success the remainder of
their season here.
Judge R. c. Foor died at his
home 2 IL miles east of the city
Wednesday morning. He was
alone and sitting on his veranda
when the end came, apparently
painless and sudden. Mrs. Jones
and Miss Whorton passing the
house noticed him sitting in a
peculiar attitude on the front
porch and returning that way a
little later, we're attracted by the
fact that he had not changed his
position. Investigation followed
which developed that he was
dead, as above stated. He was a
Mason and Odd Fellow, which
societies will take charge of his
burial, as he has no relatives in
this part of the country. He was
a quiet but much respected citi-
zen of the colony. He leaves a
small estate.

DI' - ". L uSSell lost MS buggy
horse Saturday. He drove out
to the l cotton factory about
8 O'clock Saturday night
where he has two patients. When
hefwas ready to start home he
found that his horse which he
had takea from the buggy and
tied to a bush had disappeared.
The Doctor spent all Of Saturday
night and most of Sunday look
ing for the animal which he nat
urally concluded had been
stolen. Monday however a negro
living about ten miles east of
the city brought the lost animal
in, to the Doctors great relief.
The horse had evidently been
taken, probably with the intent
to steal and had been ridden
certainly a great distance
as he was considerably jaded,
hungry and thirsty. The negro,
Isaac Dickson, who brought the
Doctor tidings of his horse, de-
clined the offer of $500 for his
services, but accepted so cents
as a reasonable compensation for
his services. Dickson is one of
thoscnegroes who are a credit
to his race and has made for
himself a good name and acquired
considerable property.
Judge Marcus Luke has sold
his home at Irwinville, the old
land mark, the Irwinville Hotel,
to Mr.. Lam Taylor and while he
has not indicated his intention
to come to Fitzgerald, It is not a
violent presumption to assume
that he will at an early date be-
come citizen of the colony city.
He is one of the best business
men of the county-not only ac-
tive but we'll to do and would
make most valuablee citizen of
Fitzgerald. The Enterprise
hopes to be able to announce in
an early issue that Mrs. Luke
has consented to the change and
that the Judge and his family will
become residents of the county's
metropolis. Quite number of
good citizens are moving to the
city now and we would like to see
Uncle Marcus join the throng.
Agent o. Y. Elder of the
Southern Express Co., left the
city this week for parts I'M

his movements were unknown
to the Enterprise, but we are
here to watch such cases and we

CALHOUN's BOND CASE
VIII be Heard by the Supreme Court
Jam %


Atlanta, Jan. 14-Hon. L. f. Gar
rard, city attorney of Columbus. to-
day filed brief in the Supreme Court
in a most important case, which will
be argued before that body on Tues
day, Jan. 20. 1t is the case of Rolf
against the Mayor and aldermen of
the town of Calhoun, and the Supreme
Court is anxious to hear from all in
terested in the question involved.
Rolf has brought suit for Injunction
to prevent the town issuing school
bonds, because it is claimed the bonds
proposed to be issued will be in excess
of per cent. of the taxable property,
the limit fixed by the state constitu-
ton. The question in a nutshell is
whether the interest is a part of the
bonded debt of the town The Supreme
Court has already decided in the case
Of state bonds that the interest is a
part of the debt, this being in the IA
nous public property fund case. If the
interest for the whole time the bonds
are to ruin is considered a part of the
debt, then the bonds which Calhoun
proposes to issue will be in excess OF
the constitutional limit If the interest
is not d part of the debt, or if only
one years interest is so considered,
then the bonds can be legally issued.
The question is one in which many
cities. towns and counties in the state,
which have large bonded debts, are
vitality interested.

TOWN EXEMPTED
PERSONAL PROPERTY.

Atlanta, Jan. 14.-Learning that the
town of Pepperton in Butts county had
decided to tax only real estate, and
to exempt all personal property from
taxation, the Southern Railway de-
clined to pay the tax demanded, on the
ground that such system of taxation
is unconstitutional, the constitution
providing that all property, real and
personal, must be equally tax
ed ad valorem. Controller Gem
eral Wright will advise the
town authorities to back down
from their position, but If they refuse
to do so, he will issue the execution
at their request and let the courts de-
eide the matter.

CONSIDERING RATES.
Railroad Commission Henrd from
Omcials.

Tallahassee, Fla, Jan. 14.-The Rail-

yesterday to arrange for a reduction
of the rates. There was a large at
tendance of prominent railroad officials
The commission had prepared a new
schedule, which made an average re-
duction of 10 per cent. in the rates
now in force. Owing to the limited
time given the railroads to prepare a
list of rates, final consideration was
postponed until Feb. a.
The fight promises to be a very in
teresting one, as the railroad officials
say they cannot afford to make as
great a reduction as that proposed.
