Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1904-02-23

Early Monday morning a SUBJ
scriber dropped in on us and
bought one of those beautiful
yellow receipts we give for sub
scriptions. lie was a 1aboring
man of stalwart frame and honest
face; nothing fine about him ex-
cept his honest heart and high
ideals, and when he went to leave
the office he astonished us with
the remark: There is but one
thing that keeps Fitzgerald from
being the finest city in the world,
and that is her saloons" Point
ing his finger toward the saloon
section of Pine street, he said:
They are like a log across a
stream against which is accum-
lated the driftwood ofrottenness,
trash and scum of the worst ele-
ment. They sure give this town
a bad name"

OUT ON BOND.

Lucius Quinn was released
from prison Saturday night on a
bond given by his father and his
Uncle, C. B. Quinn of Thomas
county.
Sheriff McInnis was reluctant
about accepting the bond until
he became satisfied that it was
perfectly solvent and properly
executed.
Judge Roddenberryof Thomas.
vile came up with Mr.. Quinn
Saturday and in company with
Lucius Quinn's father and
attorneys Mingledorf and Wall
went over to Irwinville and Sc
cured his release.
Judge Roddenbury will assist
in the defense of young Quinn
and strong fight will be made
to save him from a term in the
penitentiary.
The bitter feeling that prevail.
ed Immediately after the ugly
crime has somewhat died out
and the chances for acquittal OF
at least moderate sentence are
very much better than they
would have been a month ago.
We heartily sympathize with
the Young man who evidently has
the ability to make a useful
citizen.
We despise the conditions that
made his down fall possible and
deplore the fact that this com
munity is peculiarly cursed in
that particular.
A personal acquaintance with
Lucius Quinn and a knowl.
edge of his good sense
leads us to hope that he
may yet make a useful citizen,
and the Enterprise would not
put one obstacle in his path, un-
less that path led in the othe +
direction.

It has developed that the young
bank cashier, Troutman, who
suicided at Milledgeville last
week, had departed from the
path of rectitude only six days
before his suicide. Less than one
week was consumed in the head
long race to destruction. On
Feb. 18th (unlucky 49, his first
draft was drawn on the funds in
his possession for the purpose of
speculation. 1t was probably his
first theft, although he was 46
years old. In less than a week
he had stolen practically all of
the sanitarium fund, amounting
to $4,000.
His down fall was rapid and
sure. He yielded to the tempta-
ton to speculate in cotton. His
life was ruined and his confding
wife and three children made
widow and orphans.

Better Than Gold.

Il was troubled for several
years with chronic indigestion
and nervous debility" writes F.
]. Green, of Lancaster, N. Y.
No remedy helped me until
began using Electric Bitters,
which did me more good than all
the medicines ever used. They
have also kept my wife in ex-
cellent health for years. She
says Electric Bitters are just
splendid for female troubles;
that they are q grand tonic and
invigorator for weak, run down
women. No other medicine can
take its place in our family"

CONVERTED.

Mr. Bryan, Ono, we have not been converted to Bryan
ISM 1t is more marvellous than that.) Mr. Bryan in
writing of his visit to Count Tolsoi reveals great
character as he has been revealed BEFORE al
though have long regarded him the greatest living
man.
But what wish to call particular attention to- is the
influence which the religion this great man. express
ed by Mr.. Bryan, has exerted over personality.
Mr. Bryan says:
Count Tolsto is advocate of the doctrine of
resistance. He not only believes that evil be
come by good but he denies that it any
other way. asked him several questions this sub
1ect, and the following dialogue presents his views:
@ Do you draw any line between the of force
to avenge an injury already received and the of force
to protect yourself from injury about to be inflicted?
"A No. Instead of using violence to protect myself
ought rather to express my sorrow that had done
thing that would make any desire 10 I'M ure me.'
Now we have always believed that belligerancy to
extent, essential to manness and to integrity
itself; have held to the idea that must defend
his wefounded convictions at any cost, even to the
of his fists to maintain his rights and press his
estness.
This religion of has led us into difficulties all
often and after forty years, clearly how rad
ca1ly wrong it all Isl We acknowledge error Tostoi
is right brute force is brutsh love is divine;
converted; wholly; completely: would strike
if he insuted grossly and felt could lick
him. We might tell him that he ugly and had acted
cowardy and sympathy for his weakness; but
hit him, he got onto might push him off;
probably would do with degree of suddenness;
but hit him, don't think!
WE CONVERTED.

Whenever Grover Cleveland
writes or speaks he has some
thing of interest to say. His
ringing words in the Saturday
Evening Post are like bugle
call. They summon all true
democrats to the forefront of
battle. In striking contrast are
the words of Bryan, who clings
to the dead issues of the past,
issues that have been buried SO
deep that the hand of the resur-
rection angel will meyer touch
them.-Athens Banner.

the old barber. when a man tells me
10 quit wasting SO much time rubbing
in the lather and hurry along with his
shave. II he only knew IL. he Is lay
ing q sure foundation for a chapped
and sore face. The reason for using
soap In shaving is 10 remove the
crease always close TO the sAin, anc
on the surface o. the beard. This can
not be done without rubbing il well i2.
Many persons who shave themselves
do rot understand this. and wonder
Why they have sore faces. They
blame the bay rum, and change OF %

a remarkable phenomenon Is re-

were heard for several days issuing

from something like the booming OF

gathered IN expectation OF some cal

peared and water was seen. AT last
the earth seemed gradually 20 sink.
