some unknown manner near Old

burned north almost to the Stin

ApAtR WILSON, until recently

ADAIR WILSON, until recently a
member OF the State Court of APP
peals, was nominated tor State
Supreme Judge by the Democrat
ic State convention at Denver,
Monday. His only strong oppo,
nent was District Judge Mullino
of Denver, who ran him close
race for the nomination. A con-
servative platform was adopted.
In regard to the supreme Judge
ship the Denver Times says the
following: "The nomination of
Judge Wilson by the Democrats
and the all but settled nomination
of Judge Campbell by the Repub
licans, for the position of SUI
preme judge, makes it reasonably
certain that whatever little state
campaign there will be this fall
will be wholly devoid of the acrf-
mony and mud singing usual in
such protracted engagements as

Young man, did you ever put
your arms around your dear old
mother who has loved and cared
for you and tell her that you love
her and are grateful for the, tears
she has shed and the prayers she
has offered for you? She may
think that you loye her without
your assuring her that you do, but
ii costs you but little effort to tell
her and your words may bring
more Joy and sunshine TO her
heart than you ever dreamed Of.
Some young men will pay two
dollars for livery rig to ride
three hours with seventy five
cent girl and tell her all the nice
things they can think of that are
true, and don't spend five cents or
five minutes in year to SHOW
their old mother that they care
anything tor her.-Western Pub

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH
IN THE COLONY CITY.
Fitzgerald's Mixed Population Demonstrates
10 Legions How the Nations Natal
Day Should be Observed.

For several years Fitzgerald
has been the Mecca for all the
countryside on the Fourth of
July.
1t has become generally u6der-
stood throughout the wiregrass
section that the "Yankees'' in
Fitzgerald will burn fire crackers
and display the red, white and
blue and otherwise magnify the
Declaration of Independence. It
was proposed about two months
ago to prepare a great cellbra-
ton for this year, but the start
was made too early and the peo-
pie lost interest, Notwith-
standing the fact that nothing
was advertised a large crowd
came to the city, perhaps the
largest in its history. Every
train came in loaded and everv
country road was throngcd all
the morning. 1t is estimated
that four or five thousandvisitors
we're in the city.
Notwithstanding the absence
OF a program for their entertain.
ment all seemed to enjoy the day
and were in the best Of Spirits.
The stores and shops were lib
orally patronized and the trade
of the day was a record h-~-i-
In the afternoon the ball game
caught a large part OF the crowd
who of in spite the hot sum-
seemed to have good time.
There was very little drunken
ness, and, with the exception OF
"a saloon row or two of minor I'M
portance, nothing curedto maj
the day Of celebration.

Look at the enormours addi-
tons that have been made dur
ing the last fiscal year in assess
able property both real and per-
sonal. This alone should have
reduced our taxes since the two
saloons furnished all that had to
be raised over lastyear,s amount.
Why were they not reduced,
pray tell me who can? Why
were they raised by nearly and
over fifty per cent (not 5 per
cent as it was set up by some
mistake, presume, in my last
weeks communication in the En-
terprise and Citizen. If it was
only 5 per cent I wouldn't kick,
but 50 per cent is more than my
patience will bear.)
These questions have never
been answered and never can be
answered satisfactorily. And not
being satisfied with raising five
or six thousand dollars over 'and
above all needs, the council had
the audacity to propose to levy
an occupation tax on top of that;
and then a dog tax was proposed
besides, and why not all? Inev-
er heard of such proceedings in
all my life as has been going on
in the management of municipal
affairs for the last three years
here, and the citizens have been
meekly submitting to it so far,
which is the most unaccountable
part Of the whole affair.
Therefore, I say, until a con-
certed effort is made by them to
put a stop to these impositions,
for my part shall oppose the To-
cation of the new railroad shops
here for the reasons stated e.,
that it will give the assessor and
equalization board new excuses
for again raising our taxes next
year many thousand dollars over
and above the city 'sneeds. Wher
u see that restrictions are placed

unlawful increase in our taxes.
the mayor and other aldermen
are to blame only in so faras that
they failed in their duty to place
restrictions on them. Why can
our state laws not be amended
so that our Legislators will have
the same control over the levy

over cos py and state tax, and
thereby not leave poor devils like

I second DR.. Tiubott's motion
to turn the water and light plant
over to a private corporation.
They would make money out of
it without raising the light and
water rates one cent. Underour
city management it is total fail
ure since it only helps toincrease
our tax burdens. $3,0OO.OOa year,
or Whereabouts, has to be raised
every year for interest only. All
this would be done away with if
the outstanding bonds were TAX
en- up by the purchasers of the
plant. The city gets no benefit
at all out of the plant now in the
way of income as it is managed,
and it will continue to be SO
managed while it is under mu-
nicipal control. The sooner we
get rid of the incubus the better
it is for all parties concerned
mean for the tax payer.

P.S The facts herein stated
relative to the excess of at least
SIS, 100000 that is to be raised this
year, over and above the city's
needs, admit of no dispute. They
are self-evident and beyond con.
