SEWERS.

SEWERS.
Shall we have sewer system is the question
that will agitate the community and interest our
taxpayers more than any other thing for the
next few weeks and possibly months. Every
body realizes that sewerage system is desired.
Some insist that it is indispensable.
The Enterprise was recently forced into the
attitude of opposing sewers, when in reality we
have consistently favored complete sewerage
system for the city as soon as it is possible
that we plish it without too much
sacrifice. 1t is not small matter, it is crisis
in every community and one about which the
most lamentable mistakes can be made.
It is an easy matter to join the hue and cry
to get out and hurrah for sewers. But this
question demands serious thought and del1ber-
ate action. It will take year to get in system
of sewers in Fitzgerald that is to prepare for it
and plete the work 1t is matter that should
not be rushed. Every step should be taken cau-
tious1y It is first necessary to know what
complete system will cost, then issue the neces-
sary bonds after which the contract is to be
made, before lick be struck on the work.
This will perhaps reach into the spring months
when it will be more dangerous to the public
health to turn up the earth necessary, than de-
Law of five years under present conditions.
We might 90 ahead on the estimates, pre-
pare for the money, locate and construct the
septic bed and main sewer and be ready to dig
in the streets by October 1st next.
Let's have sewers but let's make no mis-
takes; let's have no jobbery, everything must be
open and above board, every taxpayer is entitled
to and shall know all the facts.
1t will probably require the full limit of our
credit, that is bonds to the limit of 790 allowed
by the state law on very full valuation.
It is no child's play, but serious business
proposition.
But let's have sewers.
Wonder if Editor Mercer has converted
many to the Smith cause? We would also like
to know if that anti-Constitution man Lewis,
candidate from the first ward, got his views from
the editor of the Enterprise, or John Temple
Graves?-Rochelle New Era.
Really King there doesn't seem to be great
many to convert in these parts. Has our con-
verting apparatus given offense to he good look
ing and usually happy editor of the New Era?
We trust not. AS to Lewis, he seems to have
gotten all he went after and the last time we saw
him, be was looking pleasing and serene. He
paid cash in advance to the Enterprise for pub
fishing his views. We have not read them, nor
Mr.. Graves announcement. If you find you
1oosing patience and becoming i'll and cross on
account of the numerous Hoke Smith people in
your town and county, King, we invite you to
come down and spend day with us and we guar
tee to send you home in good humor.

PRAISE FOR W. S. WITHAM.


Among the prominent bankers who attend
ed the convention of bankers, which has just
concluded its deliberations at Washington, D. c.,
was w. S. Witham of Atlanta.
Mr.. Witham is president of large number
of banks in Georgia and was one of the leading
figures at the convention. The Washington
Post of recent date had the following to say of
Mr.. Witham;
''One of the most interesting figures of the
convention is the man with the yellow hat. He
is known by that designation to every one about
the convention who has him, but does not
know him personally. But there is something
more interesting than the broad-brimmcd and
vociferous yellow hat that tops his shreWd face.
He is w. S. Witham, of Atlanta, Ga, and is the
president of chain of sixty-one banks. Iuci-
dentally he draws salary from each bank as
president. His banks are all state banks, and
are thoroughly organized, with system of trav-
cling auditors and local staff mum boring over
500. He some years ago took 800 OF his clerks
at one time on an excursion 10 New York and
left plenty at home to do the work.
"A number of the bankers object to the idea
of chain of banks under single head, but they
admit that although the system is a despotism
and capable of infinite harm in the hands of bad
man, still it was almost an ideal form of manage
ment if it is in the hands of a good one. 1t is
understood that the stock of the various banks
is subscribed almost wholly in the town where
the banks is located, and local board of manage
ment passes on the local loans, but the general
management is in the hands OF Mr.. Witham, and
so far he has made vast success of the series
of banks
NoTE: All of Mr.. Williams banks are net
state banks, many of them national banks.
He does not receive salary from every one of
them, but the chain is practically unbreakabe
and is probably the strongest financial com bina-
tion in the state.

detective work in the case. The jus tice informed her that he had no in terest in discovering any more than he already knew but he referred to other parties who might have a curiosity regarding the movements of the knight and the princess. This is not a high priced detective; her motto is to live and let live. All she wanted for her service was $2 and the price of the long distance message. She has so far not been employed on the case.
 Late yesterday evening Justice Bur nett had another message from Tempe. this time from an official, asking if the knight and princess were wanted Tn Phoenix; he said that they were there at that time and he could put his hands on them if they should happen to be in demand. To this the justice replied that he did not need them in his business.
 Miss Hines returned to the city on Friday night at a late hour and re- mained at the boarding house where she had been employed. When Con- stable Redwine learned that she was in town he called to serve the sum mons in the attachment suit but was told that she had left early in the morning and would probably not re- turn to Phoenix at all.

EASTLAHE PARK.

Sold out before o'clock was the re- port at EastlaIe park last night "Sapho" drew an audience any theater might be proud of. Many had seen the play before produced by eastern com panies and had also seen it played by the foremost actresses in the country. Miss Tucker suffers none by compari- son. The universal verdict is that the price is too cheap for the class of at fractions offered. Each company which has appeared at the park has mad it's admirers. The Tucker company has the greatest number of up to date plays and when they leave Phoenicians will boast of them for many moons to come.
 Even a blind person could see the superiority of the Tucker company over all it's predecessors. The company, the plays, the special scenery. the cos tunes have surpassed everything be- fore seen in Phoenix. Beginning Mon day night "A Woman's Rvenge" will be the bill. It is a play which is intensely interesting and affords great scope for Miss Fuckers marvellous emotional acting. There will be an entire change of specialties.

THREE BOYS AND A CLOCK.

Three boys in a house were told to go and take the exact time by a clock in the town. The first lad went, look ed at the clock, came back and said: Tt is F o'clock" In after life he be- came a prosaic bookseller.
 The second boy was more exact He said on returning that it was three minutes past 12. He became a doctor.
 The third had looked at the clock, found out how long it had taken him to walk back to the house, returned to the clock, then added the time of his walk to the time of the clock and re- ported the result thus: "It is at this moment F hours, 10 minutes and 15 seconds" That boy came to distinc- tion as HelmhOltz, the scientist.

AN AUTOMATIC REVOLVER
One That Will Shoot as We'll Empty
 as Loaded.

Henry George and Frank Lyman eX- pect to leave today for an outing trip in the mountains in the vicinity of Pine in the upper TOnto country. Mr. George Is known to be an accomplish ed woodsman and mOuntaiueer and has headed many a camping party of even larger numbers and more timfd de- meanor than MT. Lyman whose proud boast is that he never killed a grizzly. He has chosen MT. George for a com panion for the reason that the latter is such thoughtful and careful man.
 MT. George holds the championship for never forgetting anything if he can help 1t. His only weakness is that he cant help it as instanced when he talked through his dancing pump and thought it was a telephone and on the occasion when he secreted a horned toad in his pocket to fool somebody else with, forgot about it and later frightened himself into a fit by discOv- erfng the varmint in his clothes.
 As a careful man MT. George IS also notable. It is recalled that on one oc- casion when he was deputy sheriff he was foOIing with a gun and dis charged it lacking only two inches of killing a newspaper reporter. The mat ter was allowed to pass as killing a newspaper man was not then regarded as a crime by the county officials.
 These little stories have all been re- told to MT Lyman during the last day or two, not for the purpose of making him nervous but 10 arouse his bravery and to put him on his guard. Yes terday morning another incident oc- cured that is related for Mr. Lyman's 1 benefit. Mir. George in making his preliminary arrangements for the trip got out his automatic revolver to clean 1t up for it is not improbable that he will get into close quarters with bear and need something that will almost shoot itself He removed, as he sup posed, all the bullets from the weapon and then forgetting whether he had or rot, re looked into the muzzIe of the gun to make sure of it. Then he point ed it toward q dresser and pulled the trigger just from force of habit. The gun being unIoaeded 1t was only natural that a bullet popped out and crashed through a ten dollar mirror.

 We stand at the parting of ways With nandclasp and gathering tears. As down the dim future we gaze The cloudy procession of years

 Your flock you have tenderly led; You shared in our purest delight,
 You wept when we buried our dead; You lifted a torch in the night
 Till Calvary burst into view

 With helmet. and corslet, and glaive, No bugle shall call a retreat;
 Your captain is mighty 10 save, He never has suffered defeat.
 Weigh lightly the trials and loss Soldier, Knight of the Cross! Brother. hail and farewell.

 heart Twas buiIded for you and for yours; Its glory shall never depart, For the gold of true friendship endures. God bless you, where'er you may
 dwell
