Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1904-03-05

London, March 5.-On the
strength of a statement made by
a missionary, the Shanghai cor
respondent of the Daily Chron-
icle. sends in a doubtful report
that twenty-eight Japanese sail
ors have landed at Teng-Chau,
saying their vessel had sunk as
the result of an engagement with
Russian warships, which. also
went down. No Russians were
saved, but two hundred Japanese
were rescued by Chinese junks.
This action is reported to have
occurred between Port Arthur
and the Mao-Tao island.

the agricultural advancement IF
his home county?
Yes. It seems he would inn
press us with the idea that he is
a leading factor in all i'm portant
matters and affairs of State"
Like Robin Goodfe1low, who
said, there should be no widows,
for he would husband them all;
and no orphans, for he would
father them all. The principal
thing | have heard of his doing in
an agricultural way was the filing
of suit by him and other law
yers for Norman w. Dodge in
the United States Circuit Court
against about three hundred
farmers and other citizens of
Dodge, Telfair, Montgomery
and Laurens counties making
all of them parties to the one
suit, although they claimed
separate and distinct lots of the
lands in question under separate
and distinct titles. The concen-
sus of opinion among the lawyers
OF this part of the State was that
such a proceeding could not be
maintained in the state courts.
The litigation became so ex-
penslve to the defendants that
nearly all of them compromised
by buying Mr.. Dodge's title
rather than undertake the doubt
full and expensive task of trying
to. defend their claims. This
proceeding appeared to have
something of an agricultural
aspect"
You refer to this case brought
against so many people of our
section in the United States
court. Do you suppose this
litigation had any bearing on the
fact that none of the citizens of
Teltalr, Dodge and Montgomery
counties are ever drawn to serve
on jurles in the Federal court?
/ understand that for several
years none of the citizens of
these counties have been drawn,
or called, to serve as jurors in
the Federal courts. | think the
matter has been discussed by
some of the local papers. 1 am
quite sure this condition is true
so far as Telfair and Dodge
counties are concerned, and l
think it is true as to Mont
gomery. What the cause of
this anomalous condition of
things, is | cannot say. l am not
surprised. however, at the reluc-
lance of our people to 1itigate in
court where every juror is a
stranger to them"
Isn't it true that Mr.. DeLacy
is also attorney for the Southern
Railway Company?
He tells us of so many high
positions he occupies, as a reason
why he should be elected again
to the Office of Solicitor General,
it is surprising he omitted to say
something about that. The
Southern Railroad runs through
four counties of this circuit, and
Mr.. DeLacy and his partner
receive a salary as counsel for
the Southern Railway Co. for
this district. In addition to this
they receive a salary from Nor
man W. Dodge to represent him
in his extensive land interests"
Is it not the duty of the Soil
cltor General to prosecute rail-
road companies for the violation
of certain laws?

RETvIZAN BLOCKS HARBoR.

London, March 5.-Very little
change in the Far Eastern stu
alton is reported this morning.
It is apparent that the Japanese
are busily engaged in transport
ing their forces into Korea, and
this work is being facilitated by
the enforced activity of the navy.
According to the Sebastopol
correspondent of the Daily
Graphic, Admiral Skrydloff has
learned privately from Port Ar
thur that the Russian batt1eship
Retvizan lies in such a position
as to block effectually the exit of
battleships from the harbor, the
passage being practicable only
for cruisers. The correspond
ent adds that Russia's new bat
tleships now building on the Bal
tic will not be ready for
active commission before the end
of August.
The Japanese official who has
charge of Japan's financial and
commercial interests in England
declares that his governmet fore
saw the possibility of coal being
declared contraband Of war, and
that it has been collecting large
stores of Welsh steam coal for
years, so that today it has a sup
ply sufficient for the needs of the
navy for years to come.

COL. GRAHAM TALKS OF HIS OPPONENTS ANNOuNCEMEl

quainted with the modern adver-
tlser naturally receives such
reading matter as news gathered
by the press, but those familiar
with the facts understand how
these articles are prepared and
how they find their way into the
papers.
l believe it was Shakespeare
who said, Some men are born
great;some achieve greatness, and
some have greatness thrust upon
them" 1t seems that the times
have changed since the days of
that incompatible author. These
conditions are no longer neces-
sary to the attainment of great
ness. The latest method is by
advertising, Mr.. Hill, of New
York, in recent speech defined
this modern mania as, "spectac-
cularism."
AM A HOUSE CAT"
This is a day of advertising,
and our friend, the Solicitor, ap-
pears to be determined that no.
body shall get a head of him on
that score. He has succeeded in
advertising himself nearly as ex-
tensiYely as r. ]: Reynolds has
advertised his Long Horn To.
bacco". In his last one he goes
right to the point and tells us
what great man he is. 1t re-
minds me of the boy who visited
his aunt. She had pie for sup,
per. This boy liked pie about
as well as some of our friends
like office; his appetite seemed
Unsuitable. He ate six pieces
and called for more, when he
was admonished that he had had
enough for young gentleman of
his size. Awaking in the night
and still longing for more pie, he
concluded to go to the dining
room and get the remaining four
pieces that he had seen put into
the side board. To get there he
was compelled to pass through
the bedroom of his aunt. While
passing he came in contact with
a chair. Aroused by the noise,
his aunt called to know who was
in the room. Remembering there
we're some pet cats about the
house, he mewed like cat. APP
parently, this satisfied his aunt
and when she had fallen asleep a.
gain he proceeded. Next, he
ran against table, overturning
it. His aunt cried out and be-
gan to search for matches. He
mewed like cat again, but this
did not have the desired effect.
Realizing he was about to be dis
covered, in the excitement of the
moment, he exclaimed: Il am a
house cat"
Possibly, our friend thought it
advisable to call the peoples at
tention to his greatness, lest 9TH
erwise they might not find itIout. "

EDITOR
PRAISES FITZGERALD.

Mr.. w. F. Downs, editor of
The Evening News, Connersville,
Ind, has devoted nearly two
columns to an account of his
recent visit to Fitzgerald, and
has only praise for the town and
its citizens and the manner in
which he was entertained during
his stay here.
The following extracts give an
idea of the tone of the article,
and it is regretted that lack of
space prevents the reproduction
of it entire:
fitzgerald is a THRIVING city
of 1900 or 5000 population.
Ten years ago tie ground on
which the city now stands was
an unbroken pine forest. It is
now place of beautiful homes,
substantial business blocks, fine
churches and good schools. The
enterprise displayed is largely
sim liar to the progressive
northern cities. While there is
little or no manufacturing up to
the present time, the opening
here is splendid for wood work.
ing Establishments, and at no
distant date there will, no doubt.
be located many Industries of
this kind. x e
Real estate agents and quail
seem to abound here in endless
quantity, and it is almost as easy
to scare up a covey of the
former as it is of the latter.
The quail hunting here is
simply marvellous.
In drive of a mile, it is not
lnfrequent that six or eight large
covies are found, and it is rarely
that party of hunters, after a
days shoot, return with fewer
than so to rs quail. =; *
"One of the very pleasant Incl
dents of our visit to Fitzgerald
was a stag dinner given by Col,
Jay in our honor.
He is a prominent lawyer and
it is said by the people here that
he will no doubt be elected
Circuit Judge at the coming
election. He lives in a beautiful
suburban home just a short
distance out of town and is a
typical Southern gentleman.
The dinner was one of the most
elaborate spreads I have ever
had the honor to assist in des-
troying. We were at the table
two hours and it was a feast of
reason and a flow of soul as well
as a most substantial appetite
destroyer" < 4
