A New Invention Made in
Fitzgerald.

]. H. Mclaughlin has invented
a new buggy and wagon britchlng
simple, durable and cheap.
The appliance is attached to
the shaft and a two inch strap is
buckled across so as to strike the
horse on the hips just as the old
style britching strap does. The
advantages claimed by the invent
or are first, economy, as it is
much cheaper than the full
breeching. Second, the advant-
age in Harvesting and unharness-
ing the animal. Third, the abb
sence of large amount OF trap
pings that constitute the old
breeding that uncumber the
horse in interfering with the
reins.
tits purely a Fitzgerald pro-
duct. It is not only the home of
the inventor, but the appliances
are manufactured here. The
iron attachments by the Arman-
trouts and the leather by harness
maker Grover. We particularly
commend that feature of Mr..
Mclaughlin s venture.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH
How the Day was Spent in
Fitzgerald Report Of Sec
rotary Of Blue g Gray
Association.
Fitzgerald, Ca,
July 4th, 1905

the following report:
An other year has passed and
gone and this the most sacred of
days, the Fourth day of July has
come with all it's brightness and
glory and again the Blue and
Gray has met to celebrate her
annual Picnic. While the past
year has not been to us what we
should liked it to have been, yet
there has been many things done
fo- the betterment of the organ
ization, one of the greatest being
the National organization of the
Blue and Gray. We have not
grown in numbers as we should
have done, as there seems to be
a lack of enthusiasm among both
the Blue and Gray, but it is hop
ed that the effort that has been
put forth to make this 4th of
July the greatest and grandest
of any yet held in Fitzgerald
since the organization of the as
ISOLATION will enable us during
the next year toaccomplish more.
Your secretary earnestly sug-
gests that our organization
be placed on a high plane,
as we are too lax in many
things pertaining to our order.
AS we are the first organization,
let us strive to be the greatest in
all things pertaining 10 our order,
that we may be able to accom-
plish greater results. 1t is nee
essary that there be a better at
tendance of members at all our
meetings and help with the great
work before us.
In conclusion will say the pro-
gram for this day, July 4th, 1905,
was carried out to the letter.
| At sunrise the citizens of our
fair city were awakened from
their s1um bers by the salute,
which reminded them that an
other great and glorious Fourth
of July was at hand. Ere long
all roads leading into the city
were lined with vehicles of every
description. bringing in an i'm
mense crowd of people. The
railroads also contributed their
share of the thousands who came
to Fitzgere1d to celebrate.
| At the hour designated, the
procession was formed at the
band stand aud marched to the
Blue and Gray park, where the
Immense crowd was entertained
| with able speeches until noon,
when everyone set forth to par
take of the good things prepared
| for the occasion.
| After noon the sports of the
day took place and delighted
everyone, as did the band con-
cert in the park on Central Ave.
| The business meeting of this
organization was conducted in a
Icreditable manner and all things
passed off pleasantly and har-
moulously.
The following officers were
elected: w. H. Marston, Pres;
Marcus Luke, Vice Pres; M. 5.
Harrod, Sec. Park Committee:
Major M. BULGE, J. M. Mosher,
VIM. Mccormick. Trustees:
Major M. BULGE, T. P. Littlefeld,
C. A. Butcher.
Your secretary desires to
thank the association for the
kindness shown him in placing
him in that position, and feels
hardly capable of doing justice
to the work, and ask the cooper
alton of every member of the or
ganization.

ecclesiastical court declined to con-

Bowen Confirms the Report.
(By the Associated Press. )

NOy Inc <ASSOCldloQ- 1TeSS.
Washington, March IA dispatch
from Minister Bowen at Caracas con-
firms the report from Willemstad as to
the proceedings against the French
Gable Company by the Venezuelan
government. Mr.. Bowen said:
A suit has begun by the Venezue-
Ian government against the French
Cable Company to annuI it's concession
and seize its property
The State department officials know
nothing of the merits of this case, but
it is assumed that the action taken is
similar to that in the case of the Ber-
mudez Asphalt Company where the
Venezuelan government declared that
the company forfeited its concession
by failing to live up to its undertakings
to exploit other resources of the coun-
try beside asphalt and to open rivers
to navigation. If the French govern
ment should demand indemnity from
Venezuela for its treatment of the
cable company, its action might still
further complicate the attempt to eff
feet settlement of the pending issue
between the State department and
Vnezuela respecting the seizure of the
properties of the Bermudez Asphalt
Company.

DEATH FACES TWO
Condemned For Crime
Against Women.
Peter Smith and Charlie Stein Will
Pay the Penalty For Their Crimes
On Friday May the

Asheville. N. c., March 13.--The
Madison county criminal term of SUI
perior Court adjourned Saturday even
ing, and Judge Fred Moore and Solic-
itor Mark w. Brown returned to their
homes in this city. The term of Madi-
son court just closed resulted in the
trial of a large number of misde-
meanor cases and the conviction and
sentence to death of two white men
charged with criminal assault. The
convicted men are Peter Smith and
Charlie Stein, both of whom were
sentenced by Judge Moore late Satur-
day to expiate their crimes on the gall
lows Friday, May IL.
Attorneys forAhe condemned men
gave notice of appeal and it is prob
able that the case will be taken to the
Supreme Court.
The crime for which Smith must die
was brutal and horrible one. He is
alleged to have criminally assaulted a
15-year-old white girl. The victim was
SO badly injured that for time it was
thought she could not live. The evil
dence at the trial was conclusive, and
the jury was not long in making up
it's verdict. This is the second time
that Smith has been tried for his life.
He was indicted for murder of his
daughter several years ago but
the evidence was not sufficient to con-
Wet. 1t is alleged that Smith first
outraged the girl and then killed her,
The head of the victim was severed
from her body and was later found. al
though the bocy was never recovered,
it beng the belief of many that it was
cremated.
Charlie Stein, who is also sentenced
to die on the gallows with Smith. was
charged with crininally assaulting a
white woman 45 wears of age and of
feeble mind. The evidence in this case
was also conclusive and the Jury re-
warded the expectations of those ia
miliar with the case by returning a
verdict of guilty.
