One Price
LOTHIVGl
~~~s~~~

No class of merchandise
is so persistently advertised
as Clothing, every imagin-
able excuse is advertised to
attract purchasers.
Some for want of better
arguments publish funny
stories, others have a con-
tinuous performance of un-
derpriced Clothing. Still
others offer Clothing at half
price or less than cost, and
with all those efforts many
of them complain of dull
business, there is one rea-
son for it. Where there is
two prices there are no
prices and people do not
bite at anything.
Our store is conducted on
the sound business princi-
pie of doing one thing well,
here is one price plainly
marked for all, one does
not pay more than the other
nor can one buy cheaper.
We do not sell goods be-
low cost, but we give the
best goods we can for the
money.
People buy where they
get the most for their money
and are sure of satisfaction.
t depends upon what a !
store does, not what it pro-
fesses to co. 5

Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1903-10-20

The Alaskan boundary com
mission has arrived at a decision
that is considered favorable tc
America. The effect of the de.
cision, it is stated, is tc
leave the Alaskan boundary
practically where it is now. The
main point of the Canadian con.
tention involved the outlet from
the Klondike gold fields at the
head of Lynn canal, including
the ports of Skagwav and Dyea,
through which the K1ondike bus.
mess is transacted. The ports
remain American territory. The
decision is taken to concede the
American claim to a strip of ter.
rltory ten leagues in width from
tldewater and extending from the
head of Portland canal to the
141st meridian west longitude.
The Americans laid especial
stress upon their contention that
this strip should be measured
from the heads of the estuaries,
or bays, while the Canadians ar.
gued that the measurement
should be from the water of the
ocean. The control of the sites
of Skagway and Dyea was involv-
ed in this controversy.

UPRIGHT JURORS.

The following extract from the
grand jury presentments of APP
ping county is worthy of the
earnest consideration of every
one who is in any connected with
the selection Of jurors, not only
in Appling, but in every other
county in our state, our own
county of Dodge especially in
Guided:
Believing as we do that the en-
forcement of law in our county
has often been materially retard-
ed by men of little intelligence,
and men whose lives are not up
right being empaneled on our
traverse juries, and feeling that
the revisors of our Jury lists
have not been as careful in the
selection of upright and intelli-
gent men as jurors as contem-
plated by law. we, therefore, urge
the judge of our court to appoint
only such men as jury revisors
as are removed from all political
influence and we further urge
said revisors to select only up
right and intelligent men,"
We heard astory sometime ago
of a citizen who ask ed to be re-
lieved of jury duty in certain
case. Upon being asked by the
judge why he made the request
he replied. Il wear gold watch
and don't like the looks of three
or four of the fellows you have
already accepted" This fellow
was probably exercising undue
caution, but it is a fact that many
men who are none too good to
violate the law and who really
have secret idea that all law
should be abolished, are selected
to sit on our juries and enforce
the law, or rather to make afarce
OF the whole legal process.
We have seen men serving on
the jury in Dodge county who
were then under indictment for
violations of the law. One Grim
inal will surely sympathize with
another, and such men should be
debarred from the privilege of
acting as Jurors. We need a
complete revision of our method
of selecting juries, and weshould
have a law denying any man who
has been convicted of a criminal
offense the right to legally Judge
of the acts of his fellowmen.-

This is the programme upon

No relief from a so per cent.

No reduction in duties upon

No abatement of taxation for a

WIIISKEY AND PISTOLS.
From the Savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
If there are two subjects con-
cernlng which South Cardinals
legislation is in advance" of that
of any other state of the Union,
those subjects are whisky and
pistols. By way of checking the
liquor evil. South Carolina has
evolved the dispensary system.
And the states anti-pistol laws
are something marvellous in their
stringency. It is against the law
in that state to carry concealed
on the person, to sell or to offer
for sale, any pistol that is less
than twelve inches long or weighs
less than four pounds!
The dispensary law does not,
can not, prohibit a man from
drinking whisky, of course, but
it is reasonable to suppose that
those friends of temperance who
set up the dispensary and have
sustained it by their votes in the
Legislature would be found 1iv-
ing up to their temperance pro-
| fessions, at least while in the
legislative halls and committee
rooms.s But here is what we
find in the stenographic report of
the examination of Lieut.. Gov.
Tillman at Lexington:
Q. You had a bottle, you say,
that day in your pocket? A. /
sent down the street, Col. Croft,
sent old George down the street,
and some members of the Legis-
lature and myself took a drink
together in the president of the
Senate's room. | do not recollect
whether they drank all or not,
but the general rule is that they
generally drink it all up when it
hits a Legislative crowd; might
have some left in it and l possibly
may have taken it to the hotel,
but do not recol1ect.
That is frank and illuminat-
ing statement! When a bottle
of whiskey hits a Legislative
crowd" SO much the worse for
the bottle. But the statement of
the gentlemen who was president
of the Senate is not more inter-
esting than the following, from
the examination of Representa-
tive MehaffeY of Spartanburg:
Q. Where did Mr.. Tillman
have that bottle?A? A. In a back
pocket.
9. Pants pocket or coat pock-
ct? A. coat pocket:
9. What kind of bottle was
it? A. l only saw the neck of it.
9. Was it flask or what kind
of a bottle was it. A. Unfortun-
ately, I didn't get to see it.
Q. Why unfortunately" A.
Because he invited me in, but I
didn't get to accept the invita-
ton.
.. Was it a 1ong-necked bottle
or what? A. 1t looked like akind
of private stock. 1t looked pref
ty good.
O. Although you could only see
the neck, you are expert enough
to tell just from aglimpse wheth-
er it was pretty good or not? A.
Yes, sir; I think I am a pretty
SOOO JUICY
9. Is that on the theory that all
is pretty good and some a little
better. A. No sir, some is pref
ty bad.
9. Did that have any tin foil or
screw cap or how was it? A. It !
looked like it had been opened; I !
think it was just glass.
9. And you say it was stick
ing out of his pocket? A. Yes,
sir.
=. How much? A. The neck:

was, it might have been a quart |
