If there ever was a town that

There are a couple of tin shops,

We are constantly receiving
letters from people wishing to
come to Fitzgerald and inq quiring
about the opportunities here. If
we should receive an inquiry
from a plumber, we would say

JOHN L. HERRING7S APPEAL.

ture of $3.50 in cash. The con-
sequence is that our peNQle are
seriously embarrassed in the
transaction of legal business, and
very often violaters of the law go
free because their prosecution is
attended with such great ex-
pense.
AS all officers are paid by the
fee system, the new county will
be no extra expense, and the in
crease in property values will
more than pay for the public
buildings. Neither will it in
crease the state representation,
as, long before the next census,
Berrien will be entitled to two
representatives, having fallen
only few short in population the
last census.
The creation of new counties
is no new thing, as our fore
fathers can attest. Had they
not provided for the convenience
of the people, prior to 1876, people
of this section would now be trav-
cling 100 to 200 miles to their
county site, as Irwin county once
extended from the Ocmulgec riv-
err to the Florida line.
AS a measure for the relief of
the people affected, as we'll as a
personal favor to myself, l want
to ask you to support the amend
ment if you can conscientious1y
do so, either by active work, or
at least by your vote at the polls,
as every vote in the state will
count and be needed.
In r, turn, if the opportunity
ever arises when I can serve you,
command me.
Fraternally yours, 4

Fitzgerald enterprise., 1904-10-01

We are in receipt of a letter
from Editor J. L. Herring anent
the proposed amendment in
creasing the number of counties
from 1877 to 145. Mr.. Herring is
naturally very much interested
in the ratification of the propos-
ed amendment, and very justly
so. The letter containing his
reasons follows:
Triton, Ca, Sept. "a, 1904.
Dear Sir and Friend:
Through the deep personal in
terest I feel in the matter, I hope
you will excuse my calling your
attention to the constitutional
amendment, to be voted on at the
approaching October election,
providing for the creationof eight
new counties in the state.
No bill passed by our gen eral
assembly has been fraught with
so much Importance to the people
of many sections of our state,
those who have for years been
laboring under inconvience and
disadvantages, many towns, cities
and popu1ous districts being
twenty, thirty and even forty
miles from court houses.
This amendment directly af.
fects the people of Triton more
than almost any other in the
state. we are twenty-six miles.
as the crow flies, from our county
site, and to spend one day there
on legal business entails loss OF

Spartansburg, S, c., Sept, %.
There is something important
taking shape among the cotton
mill men of this section in refer
ence to the cotton gins of the
south, according to the state
nnent of a we'll posted party of
this city, who said today that
there was movement on foot
for the cotton mills of the country
to secure control of all cotton
gins in the south with the view
of gaining control of the output
of the gins just as soon as the
cotton was placed in readiness
for being handled by the mills.
"One mill owner" said the
gentleman, who is now trying to
secure an interest in a number
of gins, with the purpose as
above stated, of getting the mills
nearer the raw cotton and doing
away with the middle man,
deale-, the hauling from the gin
to the mills, ETC."
The basis of the movem :nt is
the desire on the part of many
mills to get their hands on the
cotton as soon as it is ginned,
dispensing with the intermediate
transactions usual in the buying
of cotton.
It is the understanding of the
scheme that the mills are to get
possession of the cotton gins over
the country and run them in con-
nection with the mills as feeders
of the raw material to the mills.
Continuing, the gentleman in.
terviewed said: THE mills OF
this section, you may safely state,
are much interested in this new
proposition, and I myself would
not be surprised to see the gins
of the country all in control OF
the cotton mills which will own
and operate the gins and have
the raw material right at their
doors. I do not know how long
it would take for the plan to ma
terialize, perhaps eight or teN
years, but the Inauguration OF
this scheme is an important one
and marks an era in the cotton
milling business of this country

GROWING CELERY.

Transplant the celery to the perma-
hent beds in May or June, placing a
large quantity of manure in the french.
This crop is one that cannot be sur
feited by too much manure, as it is
one of the grossest feeders known.
The plants must be frequently wa
tered. soapsuds being better for such
purposes than anything else, and the
bed must be kept as clean and nice as
possible. 1t requires care to have cell
cry that is large, crisp and white, but
then it is valuable crop when grown,
and pays well for the attention be-
slowed. If you neglected to SOW the
seed you can procure the plants from
seedsmen and you should not fail to
have supply.

THE BREEDER.

Formerly a poultry breeder might
for a whole year without knowing
whether he possessed the proper
amount of vitality or the vigor neces-
Sary to the propagation of healthy Off
spring. That time has now passed, for
in this latter day or scientific knowl-
edge and information the fancier can
keep a weekly tab on just what his
males are worth. When the first eggs
are laid after mating the incubator
should be heated to the proper tenn
pecature and a number of eggs placed
therein. Three days later these eggs
should be held in front of the tester
and examined. If the male be a vigor-
GUS fellow and his vitality be strong,
the germ will be seen to have already
begun to form q new being like unto
its ancestors. In some cases this pro-
cess of formulation will be noticed to
be quite distinct even at this early
stage, which denotes a strong vitality
and condition Of perfect health in
both male and female. Three days lat
er the embryo will have increased in
size to such a proportion as to enable
the breeder to readily discover whether
the male possesses the proper vitality,
and if he does not he should be dis
carded at onca.-C. A. r.

WHY WOMAN GROWS.

The remarkable increase in WOmans
height during the last few decades
having attracted the attention of ply
sicians, it was TO be expected that
many and various theories would be
advanced in explanation. Her deyo-
ton to outdoor sports, her adoption of
dress reform, her increased attention
to general hygiene, have all undoubt-
edly had their influence. Although our
young men were never more actively
engaged in athletics than during the
last couple of decades. it is pointed
out that the masculine stature has not
increased prOportionatelv with that of
women. This leads TO the inquiry
whether physical exercise has been
chiefly responsible for woman's grow
ing greatness or whether some other
factor has not been at work. such as
the widening Of her sphere Of en-
deaVor.
In the last twenty years there has
been a remarkable removal of the linn
itations that formerly surrounded her
sex. Professions for centuries closed
in the face of women have opened
wide their doors and babe them wei
