ed in would Dring about exactly such
terrible condition as now exists.
For long time previous TO the war
with Japan the Russian workmen were
in an uneasy frame of mind because of
their poverty. and the eastern conflict
has. served to make them desperate.
A war that costs over 81 100000 a
day and requires such large appropria-
tions for the army and navy that alb
solutely nothing is left for the welfare
OF artisans and peasants, has added
to the grievances of these classes. and
as they were already goaded to des-
pair it is not surprising they have
risen in rebellion against the czar's
general governmental policy
The factory workers who tried in
vain to have speech with Emperor
Nicholas in order to present their
grievances. were certainly entitled to
different treatment from what they

theless, Americans cannot understand
why a committee or representative
presence. The emperor certainly made
fatal mistake when he failed to meet
them or their representative. No one
can foresee what may be the moment
GUS consequences of that mistake.
Americans generally are unfamiliar
with the condition Of these Russian
factory workers.

not live in their own lodgings. OF

in this respect few years ago by M.
Dementyeff, SIS per cent lived at

constituted only 1871 per cent.

Killing of Eliza Thompson.

Romy Williams, who killed
Eliza Thompson on the 4th of
July, was arrested Saturday by
Deputy E. d. Branch, of Irwin,
and given a committal hearing
before Justice A.. D. Ross, of
Chula, Monday.
The hearing consumed almost
the entire day, Williams being
represented by c. C. Hall and
the state by ]. J. Murray, both
of Triton.
The evidence was practically
as stated in the Gazette last week
except that twelve shots were
fired, Thompson emptying his
pistol and Williams firing seven
times. After Thompson received
the fatal shot, he ran into Stones
house and fell. Williams tried
to get in and shoot him again, but
was prevented by Stone and his
wife.
It is said he went off and later
returned and sat up with the
corpse.
The only eye-witnesses were
old man Stone and his wife.

he is dispensing even-handed
Justice these days in manner
that promises to soon create a

When His Honor convened
court this morning fifteen drunk
and disorderlys were in the hold
over awaiting his gentle ministra-
tons, and the way he disposed OF
those cases would have made
Judge Martin green with envy.
For thirty odd minutes he gave
good fatherly advice to the erring
ones who had tempered with the
red liquor, and his short terse
sentences ranged all the way
from $4.75, when talking to a
plain drunk, to $11.75 when adj

A Sad Occurrence.

Last week we published an &C
count of the death of Miss Lottie
Heath, who left here some three
weeks ago, accompanied by her
mother and Miss Louise Wight
man, for her home in Reed City,
Michigan. We have before US a
Reed City newspaper which con-
tains Miss Heath's obituary. and
just belowit appears the obituary
of her mother, who died four days
after the death of the daughter.
Mrs. Heath and daughter were
the mother and sister, respect
lively, of Mrs. E. P. Wightman,
of this city, and had been visit
ing here for several months prior
to their departure home.
Miss Louise Wightman accom-
panied them on the return trip,
and writes that Miss Heath was
taken i'll on the train before
they reached their destination,
and that the mother cared for
her for four days before giving
up, and died just four days after
the daughter.
This is indeed a sad occurrence
and Mrs. Wightman has the sym
pathy of everyone in this double
bereavement.

From the Atlanta Constitution.

Crisp and Northen counties
had their innings yesterday be.
fore the new county committees
of the house and senate.
Crisp county proposes to take
the lower half of Dooly and to
make Cordele the county site,
while Northen wants to be Gre
ated from parts of Irwin and
Wilcox with Fitzgerald as the
county seat.
NORTHERN COUNTY IS HEARD.
Following the case of Crisp
county, "Northen" county was
taken up, and Representative
Wilcox, of Irwin county, made
the first speech in it's favor.
It is proposed to create North
en- county from parts of the
counties of Irwin and Wilcox,
and to make Fitzgerald in Irwin
the county seat. Mr.. Wilcox
called attention to the rapid
growth of Fitzgerald, which now
has population of 5000. Fitz-
gerald he said, is eutitled to re-
lief. The new county would
contain 328 square miles, he said,
and would be larger in area than
about forty other counties in the
state. The population of the
new county, he said, would be
between 1900 and 1000.
D. B. Jay, an attorney of Fitz-
gerald, opened his argument by
presenting petitions in behalf of
Northen county, signed by 1900
white voters living in the terri
tory affected. Mr.. Jay showed
that Fitzgerald as the county seat
would be located approximately
at the center of the new county.
Irwinvi1le, the present county
site, is inaccessible to a large
number of the people of Irwin
county. Northen county will
have approximate tax values of
So, 1928, ~, of which$1 953, 1913 will
come from Irwin and $4,000
from Wilcox. The taxable prop
erty in Fitzgerald alone amounts
to 81, 628,71O. Irwin county now
has $1,000 surplus in her treas
ury, and has no bonded debt.
The new county committee was
ready, he said, to put up a certl-
fed check for $4,000 to pay their
portion of the bonded debt OF
Wilcox county.
Former Governor w. ]. Nor
then, the founder of the colony
at Fitzgerald, made statement
in behalf of the new county. He
was unaware, he said, when the
movement was started that his
name was to be connected with it.
Governor Northen said he was
first, last and all the time for his
friends in Fitzgerald. He had
succeeded in the location in Geor-
gia of the largest colony OF any
kind in the south. He spoke OF
the increase in agricultural de-
ve1opment, in educational faclll-
ties and in taxable values to the
state as the result of the estab-
lishment of new counties. He
would rather have succeeded in
the establishment of this colony,
as he did, he said, than to have
been elected governor of Georgia
forty times. Governor Northen
urged that Fitzgerald was en-.
titled to have county and to be
a county seat. He presented
many facts and figures in sup
