A little chilled, Helen turned to In
troduce him to her friends. He took
a place on the steps and sat without
saying a word all the evening. There
was nothing for him to say. These
young people talked thoughtlessly, as
young people do. OF the affairs belong
ing to their own little circle. He had
thought pine and forest and the trail
so long that he found these square ell
bowed subjects refusing TO be jostled
aside by any trivlalitles.
He took Helen back to Mrs. Rem
wick's about 10 o'clock. They walked
slowly beneath the broad leaved ma
PIES whose shadows danced under the
tall electric lights, and talked.
How have you done, Harry" she
inquired anxiously. Your letters have
been so vague"
pretty WELL" he replied. "If things
go right l hope some day to have a
better place for you than this"
Her heart contracted suddenly. 1t
was all she could do To keep from
bursting into tears. The Indebtedness
ed her with sullen despair. She said
nothing for twenty steps. Then:

Thorpe was thinking that II would be
easy enough to obtain Wallace Carpen-

the profits OF the year. But he knew
also that the struggle In the courts

At the mention of the home for which
means were SO quickly forthcoming
when Thorpe, not she, considered 1t
needful. the girls eyes flashed. She
stopped and dragged violently from be-
meath the bed fiat steamer trunk, the
lid of which she threw open. A dress
lay on the bed. With fine gesture she
folded the garment and laid IL In the
bottom OF the trunk. Then she knelt

The choice was made. He turned and

~ LENDING the call OF trial Thorpe
III took a three weeks vacation to
Ill visit his sister. Time, filed
with excitement and RESPONSE
billty, had erased from his mind the
bitterness OF their parting. Now he
found himself so impatient that he
could hardly wait to get there.
He learned on his arrival that she
was not at home. Mrs. Renwick proved
not nearly so cordial as the year be-
fore, but Thorpe. absorbed In his ca
gerness, did not notice 1t. Mrs. Rem
wick thought Helen had gone over to
the Hugheses.
Thorpe found the Hughes residence
without difficulty and turned up the
straight walk to tho veranda. On the
steps OF the latter rug had been
spread. "A dozen youths and maidens

Hon. ]. Pope Brown has sud
denly sprung into prominent
prominence by recommending a
uniform two cent railroad fare.
He takes the position that it
would be good business move
for the railroads and an immense
saving, of course, to the travel
ing public. He says:
Under existing conditions l
think a three-cent rate is excess
slye and that a two-cent rate on
all main lines is commensurate
with the service rendered, and I
therefore move that, on the
following lines, the passenger
rate be made two cents per miles
after September IS, 1904,
namely:
The Atlanta and West Point
railroad, the Atlanta, Knoxville
and Northern, the Atlantic and
Birmingham, the A. and B. Air
Line, the Atlantic Coast Line,
the Central of Georgia railway
between Atlanta, Savannah, be-
tween Griffin and Chattanooga,
between Macon and Columbus,
the Georgia railroad, the Georgia,
Florida and Alabama, the Geor-
gia, Southern and Florida, the
Seaboard Airline, points on the
Southern railway lines, the At
lanta and Charlotte Air Line, the
E. t., Y. and G., the Georgia
Pacific division, the Columbus
division, the Western and Allan
tic railroad, the Wrightsville and
Tennille railroad"
He sights the fact that the re-
duction to a Sc fare twenty-four
years ago resultt d in an increase
in the net earnings of the rail-
road.
Chairman Brown takes the
railroads to task at some length
for their failure to keep pace
with the progress of the cities
along their lines.
Whatever becomes of the
recommendation, one thing is
sure, Chairman Brown has been
brought suddenly into the lime
light and under the eye of every
reading man in the state.

Mr.. D. w. M. Whit1ey's
weekly orders from this place is
the best evidence that Ocilla is
not prejudice against Fitzgerald,
Bro. Mercer.-Oci1la Dispatch.
We do not need evidence that
Ocilla is not prejudiced against
Fitzgerald. Why does Bro. Han
lon try to make it so appear?
The people of Ocilla are all right,
Ocilla is all right, and the editor
of the Dispatch would be all right
if he hadn't, years ago, in a bit
ter contest in this county, con-
ceived the idea that the best
service he could render Oci1la
consisted in fighting Fitzgerald,
he would be alright, all right.
Ocilla, like Fitzgerald, may have
few of the kind that you can't
easily place. Most communities
have a few of that kind of citi-
zens, but as a rule there are no
better citizens, than the good
people of Ocilla and so far as our
knowledge extends, there are
mighty few towns in Georgia
with a brighter future than Ocil-
la, and this is not the first time
we have said so by any means.
Yes, Little Wiley Whit1ey's
Ocilla orders are appreciated.
Little Wiley is appreciated, the
house he represents is appreciat-
ed.

Editor Mercer is a well-mean-
ing young man, but his bump of
acquisitiveness is abnormally
large, and this sometimes leads
him to seek more for Fitzgerald
than she really needs. He's a
whole team ia whatever he under
takes, and does not seem to
know when he's defeated. In
creased age will aid him in con-
trolling that hump.-Ocil'a Dis
patch.
Indeed, we do not know we are
defeated in the matter of the
city court, and just one more
years increase in the age of Bro.
Hanlon will aid him ia seeing it
that way. We enter a plea of
guilty to the charge of youthful
ness. But, really, we have lived
not longer but more than some
of our older neighbors, At times
we have lived at the rate of a
mile a minute, and often been
charged with scorching.

Bro. MERGERS city court meeting
Monday morning of last week
the great meeting which was to
show the spirit of Fitzgerald -
consisted of forty people, over
half of whom, it is said, were
there as mere on-lookers. This
and other information we have
convinces us that Fitzgerald does
not want city court, knowing
she does not need it, so we here
by withdraw all that we said
anent the grasping disposition.
Bro. Mercer wants a city court,
but even he does not need it.
Ocilla Dispatch.
Bro. Hanlon, your grape vine
lied. Lied in more ways than
one. If ther1 was single mere
on-looker" in that meeting it was
the lying skunk, your grapevine.
The meeting was a small one,
but nobody was surprised at that.
Within a short while after the
adjournment of the previous
meeting it was realized that it
would be impracticab1e to pursue
the object any further at this
session of the legislature, but
what you got by grape vine bears
out our contention that our fail
ure to get the city court at this
session is due to the existence in
our midst, of men who were too
selfish to risk anything on per-
sonal account.
To that fact is due the failure
of the undertaking, and not to
out side influences. But there
are not a considerable number of,
that class of people in Fitzgerald
and their influence will not be
needed. Since they have been
spotted we can very we'll get
along without them.
The mass meeting was a sue.
cess, but long before it convened
it was generally understood that
the effort to get the city court at
this session of the Legislature
would fail, and that fact accounts
for the slim attendance. If there
is a man in Fitzgerald who is
not heartily in favor of a city
court here, he will never let it be
known.
Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1904-08-09

Bro. Mercer is informed that
we consider his proposition as a
bet, a wager. of $500 that the city
court would pay into the county
treasury a substantial increase
over the sum now turned into it
annually by the county court,
and as betting is illegal, we must
decline the proposition. The
fact that he made the proposition
astonishes us.-Ocilla Dispatch.
The proposition is perfectly
legal" Your legal mind is out
of whack. We will pay all dam
ages and cost. We simply offer
to make good to the county, and
add $4,000 to the fund. But
you do not dare to help the county
treasury, about which you have
seen fit to shed crocodile tears so
long.

Mercer; Of the Fitzgerald
Enterprise, has given up
the city court for this year,
but if the ether citizens of
that city had done their
whole duty by their town as
fully as the editor, the city

that hustling city. Fitzger-
