INTERNAL WAR IN FITZGERALD.
Northern and Southern Factions Clash In
Colony City---Business Harmony
Seriously Menaced-( VN1t.
From Atlanta Constitution.

From Atlanta Constitution.
Fitzgerald Ca, March 11.-Because of the
division of tie social element into northern ana
southern factions, the business harmony OF this
place is seriously menaced. 1t is alleged that
the southern element has organized with the
intention of ostracisng the northern element,
or at least compelling them to move in sepa-
rate circle.
1.-THE northern element, it is claimed Is not
openly organized, but there is a tac1t agreement
among them, and with the exception OF perhaps
a half dozen individuals, there is disposition to
stand firm and refuse patronage or recognition
to the other side The unique condition OF al
fairs has progressed beyond the lud1crous, and
is affecting various lines OF business, one neaVy
property owner having withdrawn his patronage
from the local insurance firm, the wife OF whose
manager recently entertained the opposite SET
and many purchasers are sending out OF Town
for all necessary supplies rather than patron1ze
firms connected with the movement"
We deplore the publication of the above.
We have consistently striven against the
thought that is involved in the unfortu-
nate report, ever since the first issue
of this paper 1t would be extremely damaging
if left unchallenged, besides there is absolutely
no excuse for it. AS rule, the good people OF
this community have no thought OF the least
difference in the matter of employment, IN the
matter of patronage, or in the matter of profess
sional service. We have seldom seen any 1ndl-
cation of the spirit referred to. So far as socl-
ETY. is concerned, the question of sectionalism
cuts an unimportant figure.
A local paper, several weeks ago. sought to
convey the impression that there was South
ern Society Set" using the language IN more
than one local item. 1t was of course, without
warrant or excuse, and one of the lady enter
taners referred to at once took the matter up
with the local editor and explained that on the
list of forty guests there were seventeen
northern ladies'

Il welcome the reform move

and been bad long enough. But
I am candid when I say l have
but little faith in a widespread
reform movement in Georgia, for
we have as backboneless a man
for governor as ever.went down
the pike.
I'VE have a senate.e1ect that
will, in my judgment, block any
and all reform Legislation pro-
posed by the lower house. The
rascals in Georgia know that
they need not bother with the
lower house, or abolt who is
governor; all they want is good
working majority in the senate.
There are too many of Frank
Potts kind Of folks in the
senate. If we had a governor
like Joseph W. Folk then those
our kind of folks would be as
| jobless and as lonesome during
the session of the Georgia legis-
lature as a negro politician is at
white primary.
THE anti-jug law and the Aus

for a long time that it was not a
negro in the wood pile, but it was
F. Potts in the wood pile. We
shall watch the Georgia senate
and talk out in meeting when
our kind of folks show up.
The coming man in Georgia is
the peerless patriot, who holds
principle above party, manhood
above money, character above
cash, and patriotism above place.
If you can trot him out he will
win with hands down. The
clean, splendid man, Governor
Sanford, won without fight in
Oklahoma. Folk beat Doodle

LaF Toilette, of Wisconsin, beat a

of destiny for Georgia at this
epoch-making period? I can't
name him, but if any body can, I
pledge a labor and a loyalty to
him that I've never given to a
candidate in all my life. We
have a year 10 hunt for him. I
know the good people of Georgia

The Savannah Morning News states that:
The law providing for eight new counties
not designed for purely political purposes. 1t
was not passed with the view of making
officers for the profit of politicians. The new
counties were wanted for the convenience of the
people. UNDER EXISTING CONDITIONS MANY OF
THE COUNTY SEATS ARE INVOLVEMENT OF ACCESS
TO CONSIDERABLE NUMBERS OF THE CITIZENS. At
tendance on courts, visits to the court house
on legal business are therefore bothersome aud
costly. In numerous instances it requires two
or three days time, and board bills ia addition,
to transact little matter of business that might
be accomplished in a single day if the county
seat were more conveniently located.
In considering the establishing of the new
counties, therefore, the legislature should be
guided by the ACTUAL NEEDS AND coNVENIENcEs
OF THE PEOPLE TO BE SERVED, and not the de-
sires of the politicians. The counties should be
cut off along such lines will afford THE GREAT
EST GOOD TO THE GREATEST NUMBER OF PEOPLE.
There is room for display of observation-disclosures
in this matter that ought to appeal powerfully
to the lawmakers.

MIR. RED1NeToN's STATEMENT.
Asks Public to Withhold Judgment Re.

In discussing the charges Of false pre-
lenses which have been preferred against
him, an account Of which appeared in The
Star of yesterday, Mr.. James X. Reding-
ton said to Star reporter last evening:
II have lived In this community for thirty
six years. During seven years of that
period / held responsible public offices, de-
Gliding public matter involving millions of
dollars without any human being even sug-
costing that a dishonest cent ever stuck to
my hands. During the remaining twenty
nine years I have practiced law in this
city, endeavoring to earn an honest living
and making. hope, some friends. During
all these years / have never wilfully or
maliciously injured any man to the value
of one penny.
Under such circumstances I ask the pub
lie generally, and my friends particularly,
to suspend judgment upon the matter in
question until the facts shall be developed"

SEES TRIO OF GHOSTS

that he has passed the time of life allotted
to man by DR.. Osler, was accosted by rep

traditional penny for his thoughts.
"Well," said he, 81 am thinking Of the

There is another man that I met in

southern wing allotted in those days to the
Attorney General, when the Department of
Justice had its local habitation under this
roof. l remember when Whitman's Leaves
