Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1904-11-05
An Open Letter.
Continued from First Page.

The public can be reached
through various channels, chief
among which are free lectures,
distribution of literature and in
struction in the schools. In
other states and counties much
has been accom- p1ished in the
fight against tuberculosis.
AS an example in Germany
the mortality from consumption
has been reduced one third in
the last twenty-five years.
What has been done elsewhere
may be done here. But to ac-
complish this the Committee
needs money. 1t cannot have too
much money for there is no end
to the work needed to be done.
It has therefore been deemed
wise to appeal to the people of
the State of Georgia through the
public press.
The Committee feel they have
a right to expect that every per-
son in the state should contri-
butte something, according to his
means, to this cause, for there is
scarcely a home in Georgia from
which consumption has not
claimed a victim.
The work undertaken is for
the good of the people. If it is
to be prosecuted to a successful
issue the people must support it.
1t is truly a vital issue for to-
day there are thousands in this
great state who are afflicted with
tuberculosis and who owe their
unhappy condition to just one
thing-Ignorance.
|. In order that our work may be
facilitated and made effective we
request that you open a SUBJ
scription list and receive contri-
buttons to be turned over to the
Treasurer of the Committee for
the purpose above stated.
We also earnestly request that
you second our endeavors by
lending the influence of your
paper in the battle against the
Great White Plague"
Respectfully,
Commute On tuberculosis,
Medical Association of Georgia.

\ True incident of the Civil War.

In 1885 a Potomac river
steam boat was carrying a party
OF eXcursionists. Among the pas
sengers was man who, sur
rounded by a party of friends on
one side Of the steamer, was
singing hymn. When he had
concluded he was approached by
a man who had beeu attracted by
the song and who inquired of the
singer if he had served in Vir-
ginia during the civil war. He
replied that he had; that be was
under Grant and was in Virginia
at the time mentioned by the in
curing stranger. Then" said
the stranger, I heard you sing
this hymn before. I was enlist
ed in The Southern army and on a
certain night was instructed by
my officer to shoot the Federal
Sentinel stationed at a certain
post, so that a night attack might
be made. l crept up into the
bushes within few feet of the
sentry as he was pacing back
and forth. | heard him singing
in a low tone. My rifle was
pointed at his heart but my Curl
oslty prompted me to listen and
if possible catch his words. l
paused and as he drew nearer
caught the words: Cover nv
defenseless head with the shadow
of thy wing" My rifle dropped
by my side and I could not shoot,
and your life was saved ''Oh!"
said he, Il Der the night
we'll. | went out into the dark
ness feeling that this was nv
last night on earth. My mind
finally reverted to the little old
home church, and I began hum
ming in low tone this hymn,
which was my favorite. I did
not imagine that I sang loud
enough for any one even a few
rods away to hear me. Iremem-
Der however, the quiet peace
which came over me after finish
ed the hymn, but I never knew
until this hour that my life had
been saved by the prayer of my
heart as it went up in song from
my lips on that eventfu1 night"

The jar had confederate in the person

hung back of the jar, and it was upon
spot of the curtain the size of a peach
that Old Sol focused his rays. The COM

were content to sit around the homes
of the young ladies, increasing the
light bill. allowing the latter to play

FAvoRs FROM pEsPoTIsM.

When we think of the power to do
good which rests with a despot like
the emperor Of Russia. and reflect
that under a government OF the peo-
pie reforms are often slow and tedi-
Gus and attended by much confusion
and strife. we may be tempted to ex-
tol the advantages of despotism over
Democracy. We compare the freedom
Of the serfs of Russia by a stroke Of
the pen with the long and bloody war
that resulted from slavery in this
country. The fallacy of such refec-
tons. however. lies in the atump-
zion that despotism will continue to
produce phiIanthropists.
