BOYS? If Editor Stanley does'n know that
BOYS" are not the whole thing at the Weekly
wress Association, he should attend the Cor

iris always on hand.
The fact that Fitzgerald is not county site;
lie fact that every litigant, lawyer, witness,
#sror and prosecutor finds it necessary to go
#eyen miles into the country on every court
ase, criminal or civil has not only taxed Fitz-
erald many times more than would be neces-
ary to secure new county, to build the public
Buildings and defray every possible expense OF
srganizing new county, but it has greatly re-
arded our progress and kept down the prices
II real estate, and discouraged investments.
1t is Just as easy for us to be loyal to Fltz-
erald as it is to be loyal to our friends as ind-
iduals. Fitzgerald is community of our
kiends, owned and controlled by individual
riends and it is as hard for us to understand
Now man who desires and expects the respect
snd friendship of his neighbors sell out the
Dmmunity's interest, as it is to understand
IAN who would deliberately rob his neighbor
II sell out his interest for selfish gain. One is
zs bad as the other, and both are as bad as steal
ng-the meanest sort of stealing.
It is said that the chairman of the Alabama
sailroad Commission, like the chairman of the
Georgia Railroad Commission, is candidate for
#overnor and in that connection charged with
eng inimical to the railroads Lets see what
nat means. If a railroad commissioner is
eandidate for the high Office of governor, is he
Lot more likely to be fair and impartial?
Admitting that he may be honest or dishonest,
he question is to arrive at what influence it
Rould have on his public acts. Could he afford
ID be unjust to the railroads? They have
#reat influence in Alabama as we'll as Georgia
bolitics. Would they not strive to be absolut-
Ii Just between the public and the corporations?
IL it not probable that such criticism rather
effects on the other commissioners who not
having any favors to ask from the public find
themselves at least quite friendly to the corpor-
Ations seeking favors at their hands.
