The Science of Happiness.

The happiest people are those who
make their happiness out OF their sur
roundings. No condition i'll life is so
barren and forbidding that it does not
afford some measure of enjoyment.
Indeed, the truth evidently is that cir
cumstances have very little to do in
the matter, and the individual has
everything. The spirit rises, notwitll-
standing the lowering clouds or the
driving storm-wind

DYNAMITE
Used to Open Bank in Indian Ter.
ritory-surglars Escaped
With $1,000.

Guthrie, Okla. Jan. 29.-The Farm
ers and Merchants bank at Canadian,
l. T., was entered by burglars last
night who dynamited the small vault
and secured $1,000 with which they
escaped. A few hours later while a
Sherin's posse was searching the neigh
borhood they came upon the dead bod
les of two unknown men lying beside
the railroad track. two miles out from
Canadian. Bullet holes in the back of
their heads showed the cause Of
death and a search of their clothing
ls said to have revealed two empty
coin bags that had been taken from the
bank.
The sheriff believes that the two
dead men, with a companion, robbed
the bank and then boarded freight
train in the Canadian yards. He
thinks that the third man shot and
killed the other two, rifled their bodies
and dumped them off the train and
then made his escape with the $1,000.

THREE SURVIVORS

Off the Azores.
New York. Jan. 29.-On board of the
Cunard liner Etruria. which arrived
here today from Liverpool were three
survivors of the lost steam dredge
Texas which foundered about $50 miles
b northeast OF the Azores some two
weeks ago and most OF her crew were
lost The Texas, which was to have
been used in the Galveston improve
ment was the largest steam dredge
ever constructed having been built
along new lines in Germany last
autumn. She sailed from Dantzic on
December 16 with crew of 80 men.
From the start the Texas encountered
terrible weather and when OFF the
Azores she sprung leak which caused
her to fill more rapidly than her
pumps could empty her holds.
Seeing that she was about to foun-
der the captain ordered the boats
lowered. The first boat, with 13 men
aboard got away safely but the Sec
ond was smashed alongside. Having
no other boat and the weather being
fearful the remainder of the crew were
carried down with the sinking dredge
among them being the first mate.
The first boat came back to the as
sistance of the men on board the
dredge but it sank before the eyes of
the 13 long before they were near
enough to lend helping hand.
The boat was but scantily supplied
with provisions and water and after
drifting about for six days these were
exhausted and one of the number died
from exposure. The hapless remain
Ger drifted about for seven more days
suffering untold agonies until, just as
they were drawing lots for the sacri-
flee of one of their number to provide
food for the others a Spanish schooner
sighted them and picked them up.
They were transferred to a tramp
steamer and landed in ireland where
they were sent to a hospital in an
exhausted condition.

REPRESENTATION.

A Il
Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1905-07-29

Procrastination is the bane of life. The
present is the time to do what one would. The
man of sixty thinks if he only had few more
years, and builds air castles, which is but an
other form of procrastination. 1t is safe to say
that if one has not done what he desires by sixty
and is still looking for the opportunity, that his
life is failure. Let him do at this moment
what he hopes to do at some future day.
The one of twenty-five hopes to do some
thing great but is doubtful when to start. He
looks to the future. No matter whether one is
90 or Is years in experience, if he is to ever do
anything it must be done now. The present
is the opportune time to do a kindness,
to mend ones ways, to begin to live, to prepare
for death. Our lives are blotted out at the
twiukling of an eye Death is no respecter of
age. "The old must and the young may die"
I'm the midst of life we are in death, /" and in
thousand ways we are constantly reminded that
time and opportunity with us may cease at any
moment.
If you contemplate some noble deed do it
now. If you contemplate mending your ways,
do it before you die, for only then is the oppor-
tunity. If the All Wise grants you long time
here, of what use is it that when you reach old
age you are still looking for opportunity and pro-
crastinating and looking back over the past with
a sonse of disappointment: Resolve to do today
what you would and then with satisfied con-
science you can meet the future with equanimity
The present is everything; the past and
future are out of the question. Hope is dam
gerous uncertainty to hang ones future on be-
cause hope is-but another form of procrastina-
tion-Hawkinspile Dispatch.

ARE WE AS CLEAN AS WE CAN BE?
If NOT
WE ARE NOT CLEAN ENOUGH.
If NOT

The terrible condition of affairs in New Or
leans, where the Saffron King is collecting an
awful tax on the carelessness of the people,
should awaken every citizen to the fact that it is
our sacred duty to obey implicitly every written
and unwritten law of sanitation.
Whether you are rich or poor; whether you
are black or white; whether you are lone wild
ow or the father of family; whether you are
preacher or teacher or gentleman OF leisure,
you are one of Fitzgerald's people, and as one OF
them you are called upon to aid in the enforcing
and maintaining state of personal and munlci-
pal sanitation that can not possibly harbor
germ of disease
If you know that your neighbor has on his
premises stagnant pool, be it ever so small,
report the fact to the authorities at once. A
puddle by the WE'LL or at the outlet of the kitch.
en- drain may seem like little thing, but like
the cloud mo bigger than mans hand,' 1t IS
the thing out of which grows the storm that de-
stroys lives, and leaves homes desolate.
The officers will consider in strictest conf
dence whatever information may be given them
in regard to unsanitary conditions anywhere in
the city. Parties who report these conditions.
will not be required to make formal complaint,
divulged. The officer will consider these re-
ports as favors to them, and will promptly in
vestigate every case of alleged negligence.
This is matter for serious consideration,
not tomorrow or next week, or after the fever
scourge has fastened its clutches on the city,
but NOW, TODAY, THIS VERY MINUTE.
Ring up the city hall, and tell the people
there what you know about your neighbours

Under the heading Little Stories of Jaw
makers" the Atlanta Journal makes the follow
ing flattering comments concerning Hon. B. E.
Wilcox:
Although he had only few minutes in
which to address the house, Hon. B. E. Wilcox,
of Irwin county, made one of the most able
arguments in the interest of the Hall anti-pass
bill. Mr.. Wilcox, who has served in the senate
argued the measure from the view point of
merchant and travelling salesman. He is engag-
ed in business in Fitzgerald. and his affairs
ry him all over the wiregrass region of South
Georgia.
It is the contention of Mr.. Wilcox that rail-
roads distribute passes among officials and Leg
islators with a view to influencing them He
said he knew of instances where railroads had
given passes to public officials living miles from
the section through which the particular line
passed. Mr.. Wilcox put the members of the
house on notice that he had given up the use of
free transportation, although by the use of it he
could save annually $500.
Mr.. Wilcox takes an active stand on all mat
tiers pending in the house, and is regarded as
one OF the most able members in debate upon
the floor. He is also member of several inn
portant standing committees, among them be-
ing, Western and Atlanta railroad; public prop
erty; pensions; manufactures, internal improve
ments; immigration, and county matters.
